Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪

Hug and brew to start the day.

Breakfast.

Followed by a hot shower.

Dressed.

Hubby goes and fetches the newspaper.

I turn on my Lava Lamp and the bulb blows!

Trying to find a matching bulb is going to be an adventure!

Either the watt is too high,or the bulb is too expensive!

I could have got a new Lava lamp on what I paid for the 3 bulbs I got in the end!

At least my bread flour order arrived!

Now to sort out my kitchen unit that will hold this flour↓

I sorted and gave it a good clean out.

I didn't have enough storage jars for where the flour was going in to.

On-line order, hubby will pick them up later.

I whipped up a French style of bread in the breadmaker while I was sorting out the various flours.

Much needed coffee time.

Afterwards, I went outside for some much needed fresh air.

I had a funny shaped parcel delivered to me.

It was the wallpaper boarder I ordered.

Another job to be done over the weekend!

I had more post as well.

The final book I ordered for my next neighbour came.

As well as a book I ordered for one of my sons.

I had a letter about booking an appointment for my Covid jab. Already booked in for mine in a few days...

Lunchtime.

Quick look in the newspapers.
