Never Want To Bake Another One!

Death is only going to happen to you once; I don't want to miss it - Jim Morrison.
Welcome to my Monday 🍪
I had a warm hug.
Brew with Breakfast.
However I have broken up for the Christmas Holiday, hubby is still on his Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 until Friday!
I give him a sloppy wet 💋 before he leaves.
I get up, thermal vest goes on.
Dressed.
I have someone coming around to check the smoke alarms, and fuse box.
First up, a coffee is needed.
All the smoke alarms gets replaced.
I even have one fitted in the living room.
The kitchen light was replaced.
The fan was replaced in the bathroom.
As the previous one, (I paid for) if splashed with water could have caused a shock!
Nice!
He checked all the sockets he could get to.
(He was pleased with our new bathroom light, as he was going to replace with the same as I have got)
Time for some lunch!
Now to make mince pies....
Tea at 3
I got through 4 packs of shortcrust pastry.
Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet 👄 for his trouble.
(He has snooker tomorrow)
Meat Free Stir Fry.
Another batch of meat pies made.
Then a Mincemeat Tart.
Then looked inside today's newspaper.

You Could Park A Tank In There!

Laugh and the world laughs with you; snore and you sleep alone - Anthony Burgess
Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈
Hot hug with Brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
I get all the kids up ready for school.
Handed out the sloppy wet 💋💋💋
I didn't bother with the lumo trousers.
(Fingers crossed it doesn't rain)
The traffic lights are still there....going to cause lots of fun later on...
Tree pic.
Now to start today first shift.
The traffic is being held up at the traffic lights, then I go and hold them up for a few minutes.
Some of not happy bunnies.
I saw the lambo \o/
There were yellow bags of Selfridges on the passenger seat.
There are still car drivers talking on their mobile phones while driving and texting!
Finished in one piece.
Time to listen to the new CD I bought last night.
Back home.
Much needed coffee and apple.
Put Henry in the Sexy Beast.
Off I go to the cleaning job with the polish I was given early in the week.
Nice coffee halfway though.
Finished, put Henry back into Sexy Beast.
Listening to more of the CD...
Back home.
Light lunch.
More plants have been delivered.
The sun comes out.
No sexy lumos to wear...
 While I was waiting to start and chatting with some parents. One big Land Rover was trying to park into two separate spaces, as my late dad once said, "You could get a tank in there!"
She gave up and parked elsewhere in the carpark.
Traffic lights are still there...
Put on my lights and walked down to my spot.
Round 2 time.
Most of the cars actually stopped for me today!
Finished in one piece.
Now for some more Glam Rock hits...
Back home.
Crumpets with coffee.
Back out with the Glam Hits.
On the way there was a nice 21 reg Aston Martin behind me...
He soon overtook at the safest moment, however he wasn't doing 50 m.p.h when he went through the speed camera.
I gets in.
Loads up the skip with 2 mop buckets and vacuum cleaner....
There is some ghosts in here
As I was the only one in the building and there were those noises starting up...
My music is going on next week...
Finished for the week \o/
Back on the Glam Rock...
Back home in the sunshine.
While I eat my lovely tea...
Hubby and son go off to do next week's food shopping.
I meanwhile have a look through today's newspaper.

Riley B. King  known professionally as B.B. King, was an American blues singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. He introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending, shimmering vibrato and staccato picking that influenced many later blues electric guitar players. AllMusic recognized King as "the single most important electric guitarist of the last half of the 20th century"
He died on this day aged 89 in 2015
When they got back,
They had bought a Wonky Box from Lidl.
Sleep tea time.
