Falling Hard Off The Wagon

Getting my daily dose of Vitamin Sea - Unknown

Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈

We did all of the Heardles.

Heardle 60's was:

One son was meeting a friend, so there was just 3 of us to look around the bottom end of Blackpool today.

Dressed.

Lovely breakfast.

Rain macs needed....

Waits to catch the tram to Bispham

Nice Vintage tram goes past↑

We got to Bispham

And catches another tram to go into Blackpool

We get off...

We see what used to be the all year round Christmas Shop.The building is a terrible state.

Few Charity shops were open.

Got some bargains.

We tried a tombola in one charity shop.

15 goes for £3 and wins nothing.

Even had a free go and won nothing.

I will stay away from that one in the near-future.

We go into one shop for coffee.

We move on and go into the Albert and Lion for lunch.

Great number↓

Afterwards we walk up the North Pier to get the tram back to the B&B.

Another Vintage Tram...

Gets off at our tram stop.

Back to the B&B for a quick brew.

Gets changed.

Leaves the B&B to catch the tram to the North Pier.

We are catching a Vintage Tram and having fish and chips while it goes up and down the tram tracks.

We finish back at the North Pier.

Hubby and I get off and go on a tram that goes all the way down to Star Gate.

While we wait for another tram.

We hear an Alexa being called upon from one of the houses opposite the tram stop.

The first tune we heard Alexa was:

Then four more tunes were being played while we waited for the tram to arrive.

Then the couple who was playing the tunes, came over from the house, and waited for the tram we were going on.

The tram arrived, and we got off at our tram stop to watch the sunset.

Gets back to B&B.

The B&B owners were hosting a street party with food and booze. I have been tee-total for nearly 9 years.

I fell off the wagon in a big way.....

40% Welsh Whisky

Anything else that had a % on it!

At least I was happy chatting, and even made a decision to stop another night...

2.30am I made it to bed.....

(I'm going to pay for this,

tomorrow morning

😵😬)

I Really Need Some Stoppit Spray!

If you are bored with your present enemies and want to make some new ones, tell two of your women friends that they look alike - Mignon McLaughlin

Welcome to my Tuesday 💪

I have a nice warm hug to start Tuesday with.

Brew with breakfast.

The thermal vest goes on.

It's going to go up to 13c later...

(A few layers will have to be removed I think!)

No covering up of Sexy Beast last night.

Onwards out of the house I go.

Gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋before I left.

On the way to work, one car didn't stop at the roundabout junction and nearly hit me as I was coming round...

Not another bad day I hope!

Still puts on 2 winter hats with big big gloves.

I put my big boots on as there was light rain.

Put my lights on,

Now let the fun start 🍭

Lots of BOINGs given out,

Lots of emergency stops as well.

Plus it had stopped raining, and the sun came out!

At least I survived the morning \o/

I arrived at the newsagents.

The whole estate had no power.

I was lucky to have the exact money for my newspaper.

Fingers crossed when I got home, I had power,as I needed a coffee!

I opened the door, and saw the kitchen light on.

Coffee time here we go!

Coffee machine put on.

Fired up the computer.

I wrote yesterday's blog.

Then it was onto making another batch of soup.

Turkey,Leek, Mushroom & Carrot went into the Soup Maker...

While it was on.

I finished off the last batch!

Lovely!

I wrote out a nice list of top up shopping I am doing tomorrow.

The sun was out and it was quite warm.

Time to strip some layers off!

Plus

The big big sunglasses goes on!

That that warm for the bikini yet!

At the same roundabout, like earlier on, one car had to emergency brake at the junction of the roundabout. He felt my stare as I went past him. He tried to sit on my arse up until the next roundabout, as I went another car came round and he had to wait.

One hat went on, with the lightweight gloves.

First I got chatting with one of my ex-customers who I delivered their mail. Next was the friend who has just had his hand done. We got chatting about how he was recovering from that. His hand that was done first, was still sore, and he just had his stitches out this morning.

My other friend who I chat to arrived on the scene. I said goodbye to friend with dog, and the other friend and I walked up to my lights to put them on.

LOW LYING SUN ALERT

We walked back and rabbited with my third friend too.

Then it was time to start again.

FUN TIME 🍭

Low lying sun didn't help matters.

One woman in a white van, just done the limbo and went straight under my big stick which was out in front of me!

The Land Rover which went around my arm last Monday afternoon, actually stopped and waited for me to go back on to the pavement, before driving off!!!!!

At least I finished in one piece.

Hometime.

Time for a much needed brew!

Tea went into the oven.

I ordered a box file, as I needed to keep all my paper together for this Crystal/Tarot course I am doing.

Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet one!

Tea is served.

Veggie option with salad.

Then to catch up with 2 more episodes of the second season of "Fame."

Then into reading today's newspaper before the second episode of the Krays start.

Isaac Donald "Don" Everly was part of The Everly Brothers were an American country rock duo, known for steel-string acoustic guitar playing and close harmony singing.

He would have been 85 years old 🎈
