Looking In The Mirror!

There is no such as a little garlic - Arthur Baer

Welcome to my Saturday 👍

I woke up at 5.50am.

I got up and made a brew.

I listened to "The Sounds of the 60s" while writing yesterday's blog post. 

Sleeping Beauty woke up and we enjoyed breakfast.

Then to wake up son to drop him off at his work.

Dressed.

 It was my hubby's late mum's 81st Birthday today.

(She passed away 26 years ago)

Then out!

Drops off son.

Then off to Stratford Car Boot.

We had to park in the overspill car park.

Spot the Eastenders Characters!

Now to look around....

Here is the conversation I overheard...

Buyer: The view is not nice in this mirror..

Seller: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Buyer:I'm interested in this mirror

Seller:Give me an offer for it

Buyer: There is a bit missing of the mirror, no thanks, and he put the mirror down!

I found another Black eyed Susan vine.

Red flowers on it.

It was only £2.50!

Bargain!

Another look around.

I went past a old Singer Sewing Machine...

It looked good...

Bit the hand's man off for how much it was.

It was heavy, hubby had to swap hands taking it back to the car!

The boot full.

Now off to visit Alcester.

There was no price on anything....

I got a card and balloons for my friend who is 70 today. 

We enjoyed a fishcake and chips lunch.

Now to deliver the balloons and card!

He wasn't in, so I tied the balloons to the door handle.

(I'm sure he will be pleased when he came back!)

Back home to unpack the car 

&

Have a much needed coffee!

Here is a pictures of before my house and garden looked like 12 years ago, and now.

Now out to get a lucky bag from Morrisons.

Then for tea. 

Yummy.

Quick look into today's newspaper.

Windsor Davies  was a Welsh actor whose career in film and television spanned forty years. He is best remembered for playing Battery Sergeant Major Williams in the sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum (1974–1981) over its entire run. The show's popularity resulted in Davies and his co-star Don Estelle achieving a UK number one hit with a version of "Whispering Grass" in 1975. He later starred with Donald Sinden in Never the Twain (1981–1991), and his deep Welsh-accented voice was heard extensively in advertising voice-overs. 

He would have been 91 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 88 in 2019 

 David Soul (born David Richard Solberg) is a British-American actor and singer. He is known for his role as Detective Kenneth "Hutch" Hutchinson in the television series Starsky & Hutch from 1975 to 1979; Joshua Bolt on Here Come the Brides from 1968 to 1970; and Officer John Davis in Magnum Force in 1973. In 1977, he scored a number one hit single with "Don't Give Up on Us".

He is 78 years old 🎈 

 

Now for some Sleep Tea...

As normal we carried on watching something on Netflix, and fell asleep!

Upstairs to bed as off to visit another car boot tomorrow!

 

Finally Finished It!

 "It's Friday!" I get from some of the parents.

Only a few cars didn't stop.

I saw my friend at the end of my shift.

He told me of his plans for the weekend,and I did vice versa.

Then off home with...

 I get changed and off to the Happy Place Of Work.

While cleaning in the offices in the factory part. I tripped over an old  boating bollard that was keeping the interlocking door open.

I had a witness to it!

I joked "There might have been a large crater in his new office floor if I had landed there.

So big would the crater big, they could have seen it from the moon!" 

Joking aside, I had to take off my trainer the pain was that bad in my right ankle. 

I hobbled about and got my job done.

I hobbled home.

Chicken dinner was ready for me.

I put my foot up.

Took some painkillers to ease the pain.

I had to forgo doing my final job of the day as the pain was unbearable.

Off to bed to escape the pain!
