Welcome to my Bank Holiday Monday.
(No Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 until tomorrow,then the fun starts!)
My body clock woke me up early...
Downstairs I went to enjoy a much needed brew!
Now to write yesterday's blog post.
I took up a cup of tea to sleeping beauty.
I reminded him we have some bacon and black pudding to use up.
He got up soon afterwards and started to do the bacon sandwich....
After I published my blog post.
I went back to bed for an hour....
Later on, it was time to get the newspaper.
As normal the rain starts!
Gets the newspaper, I went past my late dad's house. Nothing happening there....
(Just like what happening about my dad's estate....nothing!)
We drove over to Aldi's in Bromsgrove to pick up more things we need for this week.
Then it was back home.
Unpacks the shopping.
Light lunch.
with some strong coffee!
While hubby watching the afternoon session of the snooker.
I had a little play with Kenny.
Cake was put in the oven.
I watched the final afternoon session of the snooker. Then we caught up with things on the planner we had to catch up with.
Carrot Cake was done!
Nice burgers and sausages for tea.
Quick look in the newspaper before we watch the evening session of the snooker.

I turned him down, as the tips are shut for the time beginning, and I didn't want the stuff just dumped somewhere where it wasn't supposed to go...
