How Do You Do It?

Writing is like sex.First you do it for love,then you do it for your friends,and then you do it for money - Virginia Woolf

Welcome to my Tuesday...

Looks like I will be needing my rain mac today...

 I enjoyed my warm hug and tea in bed.

Before everyone left the house, they all enjoyed sloppy 💋💋💋

Once I loaded up the dishwasher,

It was coffee and vitamin C time!

 Followed by a early lunch↓

 With the rain mac on,

Time to enjoy the rain!

 

 Going a different way to work,

It had its dangers.

Two blind bends...

Good job the car horn was invented!

I finally arrived in one piece.

A quick glance at the newspaper↓

 It is Gerry Marsden's 77th Birthday 🎈 today.

(I have put one of my favourite videos of his at the end of this blog post.Enjoy!)

 

 Found another item in the car park↓

 While singing along with Gerry,

I looked across the fields of fun↓

  The rain eased my red face when I got back to my car.

I had to deal with the rain, blind bends and drivers doing only 35mph on the way home.

At least I had some music to sing along with!

I'm home!

 

 I enjoy a much needed coffee and nibble↓

 Then I go off to the Happy Place Of Work.

I realised it is my 5th Anniversary of working there....\o/

 The sun came out when I got back home...

 I did a early tea↓

 I had to go to the Town Hall to join a Focus Group on an updated Tenant's Handbook

 Pity I couldn't take them home↓

 I took my non-caffine fruit flavoured tea bags to drink along with a bit of cake!

 When I left the meeting,

I bumped into some Councillors I knew.

I had a quick catch up on things.

Finally got back home...

Now to work with some excellent music to sing along with↓

When I got back,

We caught up with Bake Off.

I hope I don't have a wet Hump tomorrow 🐪

 

Wow, Looking Good After 10 Years!

Don't wait for the storms of your life to pass. Learn to dance in the rain. - Steve Rizzo

We had such a long lie-in...

We missed "Sounds of the 60s"!!!! 

Oh dear, that is two weeks of shows I have to catch up with... 

While we were sleeping, we missed some of the Storm Hannah.......

We had a late cup of tea in bed.

Lots of hugs and kisses followed....

Then we got up...

The wind was getting that bad,

It was shutting the windows!

I looked out of my front door and saw that Storm Hannah had visited and left a mess!

 Oh dear!

I had to tidy that up before we went out...

Now out for a little ride...↓

The wind nearly blew off my hat and nearly blew my skirt up.

I got some nice stuff from Home Bargains for the garden..

 Next stop was to get some veg from Lidl↓

We were blew back to the car....

We got back to the house..↓

 Once we emptied the car,

Had a late lunch,

We went back out to↓

 Got more things for the garden.

It started to rain....

So all the plants had a little drink.

I found some photos of my front garden,

When I moved in 10 years ago...

This is a real eyesore↓

*It has took 10 years to get it looking nice!*
Tomorrow we are changing what is down the path by the Pear tree↓↓

 

It got that cold the heating had to go on.

We had a light evening meal.

Time for another movie to watch...

I checked the Birthdays.
