Never The White Way!

I have found that if you love life, life will love you back -
Arthur Rubinstein 
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Nice big hug to start Hump Day with!
Brew and breakfast.
Thermal vest goes on too!
Now to uncover Sexy Beast.... 
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one when I leave.
I only put on one winter hat, with lightweight gloves.
While I was waiting to turn on my lights.
Hubby went past in his car, and waved.
The traffic was utter chaos where he normally goes to work.
I turned on my lights,
Now for the fun to start 🍭
Oh dear...
One grey car over the road, decided that the pavement was his new parking space!
I put my big stick out in front of me,
A white mini drives straight under it!
Cars on the otherside just drive through,
Narrowly missing my stick.
One van with trailer was so lucky not to have a tap and crack on his windscreen.
Only for this van to try and park in the square opposite, back and forward it went, I told the parents to go the other way, as they could get hit by it.
Then a small white van parks behind the grey car.
Making it hard for people with pushchairs to get past it. Even someone with a guide dog found it difficult to get past.
So much traffic this morning!
I was having trouble with white coloured vans and cars this morning!
I finished in one piece.
I travelled down to the Co-op.
There was so much traffic on the way!
I looked over to see how far the queue of traffic started from...
Then I heard the sirens of an Ambulance trying to get past the queue of traffic.
I done my shopping.
Picked up the newspaper and my neighbour's magazine.
On goes the coffee machine.
So does the soup maker.
Coffee time.
Soup was done.
Having emails from Dunelm.
Having a full refund...
&
£30 gift card for all the trouble I have been through!
Pan fried the chicken, 
&
All the vegetables for tonight's tea.
Once cooked,
Put in the oven for later!
Light lunch time! 
Off to do the afternoon shift.
One winter hat, and lightweight gloves.
Puts on lights.
Now for a little rabbit with friends..
At least the car and van moved!
I said goodbye to my friends.
Now for the fun to start 🍭
My big stick was out in front,
One small white car didn't want to stop, and done the limbo dance straight under my stick!
Cars are the otherside were ignoring me and kept going!
Then I have a van park on the pavement blocking my view!
The silver car on the left had parked further back, until a big lorry couldn't get past it, and it had a big blast of air horns!
I was glad I finished in one piece!
Hometime
Oven goes on.
Now for much needed cup of brew!
Put the egg noodles in the pan.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet kiss when he comes back.
Tea is served.
Yum.
Now to look in today's newspaper.

Happy Together!

 I've been on more laps than a napkin - Mae West
Welcome to my Tuesday 💋
Nice hug with my brew.
Breakfast.
I gave my hubby a wet sloppy 💋 before I left.
It's still quite cold.
So on went the Winter coat.
Let the fun start...🍭
People were actually using their brake for the first time...
It's a pity the other car drivers were not stopping on the other side.
One was on his mobile when he went past me.
One slammed on his brakes when I lowered my stick down.
No sign of that blue skoda from last week!
Finished in one piece.
Now off to get my newspaper.
Coffee machine was put on.
Now to get the Spin Bike out....
Put on a good film to watch...
Done my spin!
Puts bike away.
Now for a much needed coffee!
 Today is my late parent's 53rd Wedding Anniversary 🎈🎈
I write up yesterday's blog post, all the way to lunch.
Lunch time.
It forecasted rain, however as past experience, I am not wearing those sexy yellow trousers!
Now to try another CD.
I turn on my lights.
Then sit, chill and chat with my friends.
I said goodbye to my friends, and now to start.
Let the fun start once more...🍭
Some cars went straight under my stick.
The people's brake started to get used!
One had to brake hard, and I could hear the gums banging by the passenger when I walked back on the pavement!
I survived in one piece!
Now back home!
Much needed cup of coffee time!
I then chopped up the veggies for tea.
Put them all the oven ready.
Now to use the kitchen table to cut up some fabric.....
All the cut material was put by for tomorrow,
(Then I go on the sewing machine with new power plug \o/)
Hubby came home to have a warm hug and a sloppy wet 💋
Now to serve up the Veggie Tea.
Afterwards I looked into today's newspaper.

Then it was time to remove the carpets in the loft. Six black bags later, all removed.
I thread the bobbin on the sewing machine.
I ask hubby to load up the dishwasher.
He just sits there looking in the newspaper.
I turn off the sewing machine, puts the cover over it.
Then it the kitchen to load it up, puts it on, and wipes down the surfaces.
Does my sleep tea and sits down to drink it.
Hubby then gets out Henry and hoovers the Living Room!
We are going to have sunny Hump Day tomorrow 🐫
