Testing Their Brakes And Testing My Patience!

There is no such thing as a little garlic - Arthur Baer

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Nice big stretch for Wednesday \o/

Made time to do the Heardles.

Heardle 60s:

My results:

Brew with Breakfast,

Dressed.

Now time to go out and enjoy Hump Day!

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I left.

I need a Big Song on repeat until I get to work:

I buy my newspaper first.

I get on my Summer Coat and go off to turn on my lights.

I turn on my lights...

Now to go to work.....

In the first five minutes,

I cross over about 20 people.

Then the fun starts...

A road sweeper is coming down the road.

One car overtakes it and narrowly takes out the crossing in the middle of the road↓

The second car then went on the other side of the road to over take the road sweeper.

Even the driver of the Road Sweeper shook his head at me. I shook mine at him.

Now back to the Boing!

One red Volvo ignored my raised big stick and went straight under it.

BOING.

He slowed down afterwards, and saw me growling at him in his rear view mirrow!

One flat back truck had to slam on his brakes as I was walking across the road with my big stick in front of me.

I even had to stop a lovely white Mclaren↓

One learner driver had to a emergency stop as I was walking across the road.

He didn't like me much, when I got back on the pavement.

Several cars failed to stop for my big stick with STOP on it.

Boing,Boing, Boing I went.

I was glad to finish.

My friend appeared to have her pizza, which my son brought back last night.

I did some catch up shopping from the local Co-op.

Got some fuel.

On the way back home, some one in a black mini didn't stop at the roundabout and kept going.

I overtook her on the dual carriageway, and she ended up following me halfway home at the correct speed of the road.

Finally gets home!

Time to put on that coffee machine.

Unpacks the shopping.

Puts out the washing on the line.

Now to enjoy coffee!

Starts writing Monday's blog post up to lunch.

Light lunch time.

Now to leave the house for the afternoon shift!

Nice big tune to sing along to↓

On goes the summer coat.

I turn on my lights.

Chats with people on the way to get my ice lolly.

Fetches my big stick and sits in the square. 

I have a chat with one friend.

A right good rabbit we had in the sunshine.

Time was up.

Said goodbye.

Afternoon shift time!

Oh dear, 

One Mini went straight under my stick,

Followed by a small white car.

The next small car wasn't so lucky.

Down went my stick!

No limbo dancing for them!

Some cars read what it says on the road!

KEEP CLEAR!

So they stop in it, and how can I get the kids over?

I was so glad to finish in one piece!

Home time.

Much needed brew!

I got on with making the tea and catching up with the blog posts.

Hubby had a sloppy wet one 💋 when he came home.

Tea is served up.

Yum!

Looked into today's newspaper.

However the yawning soon stopped that.

I hope I don't have a bad Thursday tomorrow like last week!

 

 
 
 

 

 

 






 
 

 

 

Talk, Talk, & More Talk!

We don't know who we are until we see what we can do - Martha Grimes.

 Welcome to my Thursday 🍄

I had a bit of lie-in this morning.

I gave hubby a quick hug and sloppy wet 💋 before he left to go to work.

I ate my breakfast and enjoyed my first brew of the day.

Today is the 7th anniversary of writing this blog!

Thank you for reading it!

An engineer is coming today to look at why our internet speed is not fast enough.

Now to move to Sewing table out of the way, so he can look at the phone line starts.....

More Gnomes for the garden arrives.

In to the garden they go↓

Now to go and fetch the newspaper.

Has a chat with the woman in the shop.

Then back home I go.

I was looking around for some reasonably priced tickets for Barry Manilow's concert next June in Birmingham....

I found some right near the stage....

Woo Hoo!

I was in the middle of writing yesterday's blog post, when the Engineer arrived.

(Good job I did move the sewing table out of the way in the end)

We got chatting while he was checking the line.

(I bet he was thinking I don't get out much....)

I was telling about the series about 9/11 we are watching.

He escaped up the road to check the box.

When he came back,

I asked "If he ear hurts?"

He laughed, more chin wagging, he kept looking at his watch. He finally tore himself away at 2pm, to get to the next job.

We moved the router about 5 times to see if the speed could get higher. 

Where it was in the first place was the highest speed. 

Late lunch.

Then I chopped up some onions, mushrooms, and garlic.

Fried them up, with the sausages and added vegetables to the red casserole dish.

In the oven it went on...

Belated 

Tea at 3.

Finished writing the blog post.

Oven got turned on.

Watered all the plants outside.

Hubby came home and received a sloppy wet 💋

Casserole was dished up.

Afterwards I had a quick look in the newspaper.

Now to carry on watching about 9/11.

Sleep Tea.

5th episode.

The final episode is on tomorrow.

It's getting quite cold at night...

Topper goes over the duvet now!

Friday Feeling is back tomorrow 🎈
