At Least They Don't Need Feeding Or Walking!

The thingwomen have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it - Roseanne.
Welcome to my Saturday fun 😍
Breakfast and Brew.
We listened to "The Sound of the 60s"
UK Top 3 - 1968.
3: Isley Brothers - This Old Heart of Mine
2: Barry Ryan - Eloise 
1: Hugo Montenegro - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. 
Out comes the socks.
Quick coffee before we go out.
Put the rain macs in the trolley.
Now out of the house we go.
Road trip to Bromsgrove.
Charity shop bargains time.
Goes into one Charity Shop.
Nice telephone.
Chats with some people who was wearing lots of sequins. I will be wearing mine next Friday.
Speaking of sequins...
Finds yet another Minion I haven't got.
"I collect Minions,"I said to the woman when paying for it.
"Nice hobby to have," she replied.
"They don't need feeding or walking,"I said.
One Charity Shop isn't open yet, and they have a minion I haven't got in the window!
Got a small unicorn as well :)
Time for to claim my free drink at Costa.
Then back to the car we go.
It was getting busy in Bromsgrove.
No space to visit Waitrose.
We went back to Redditch and shopped at Lidl's.
Back home to unpack the shopping.
Nice cup of brew afterwards.
The new minion was added to my collection.
I looked into today's newspaper.
Had some liquid lunch.
While I sorted out some Council work,
Hubby put the pictures back up on the walls up the stairs.
The Salmon Wellington went into the oven for tea.
Watched some 60s music.
Then we turned over to James Whale.
Sleep Tea Time.
We watched the news and newspaper review.
Early night needed....

Just Like Magic!

 On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key - Scott Adams
Welcome to my Sunday 💓
We had a nice lie-in.
Breakfast and Brew.
Dressed.
Now out to do the food shop for the week.
The Lidl car park was getting packed.
Just about got a car parking space.
Nice books in the middle aisle↓
All ready for Christmas!

Does the shopping, and back home we go.
We tried again with some Magic bags for this afternoon.
We put the food away.
Time for some liquid lunch.
With coffee.
Then I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Now to go out in Sexy Beast.
First was to check the tyre pressures.
Next we picked up a magic bag from Morrison's cafe.
(I got some reduced olives off the reduced stand, trying to pay for them was just plain terrible!)
Then off to town to collect more Magic Bags.
We parked in Car Park 4.
Down down we go↓↓
We got a Magic bag from Muffin Break.
Two from Starbucks.
We had some time to waste to get two from Coffee #1.
We enjoyed a coffee in there.
At the time that it was due to get the Magic Bags, the staff said they forgot to cancel the Magic bags on the Too Good To Go app.
So there were no magic bags and I will get a refund!
Second week on the trot this has happened.
No more from there in future!
Back home with what we got.
I put the tea on.
Wrote two more blog posts from June.
Now out to get one more Magic bag.
Got it!
Now for tea!
We finished off watching the film we were watching last night.
Then onto↓
Sleep Tea time.
Back on the Wobbly Work Wheel tomorrow 🎡
