Feeling Hot Hot Hot!

There are two things in life I like hard and one of them is eggs - Mae West 
Welcome to a  Hot Hot Hot Saturday 💥
Breakfast and Brew.
We listened to "The Sound of the 60s"

1: Small Faces - All or Nothing. 
Dressed.
Now out of the house before it gets too warm!
First was to check the tyre pressures.
Next to do the food shop at Lidl.
There was a park run going on around the lake, and everyone seem to park in the Lidl car park.
We were lucky to get a space.
Nice coffee machine for £49.99↓↓
Got the shopping.
Back home to put it away.
Unpacks the shopping.
Now to cool down with something cold.
Another trip out in

While having a tyre replaced.
I had a chat with the workers about a lovely blue Range Rover that was in having some tyres replaced. 
£120 for a budget tyre.
20 miles on a gallon of fuel.
£100 a week on fuel.

I had fun with my Larry the Freelander.
I will stick with my Sexy Beast thanks!
Back home.
Cool down time!
Then onto lunch...
Younger son gets my bike out to have a look at it.
Hubby and younger son goes up to Halfords to get two new tyres for it.
Younger son changes the tyres however the inner tube went down.....
Cup of brew is needed!
I catch up with the blog up to tea.
Tea is ready.
Yummy.
I looks into today's newspaper.
We watched the last episode of I,Claudius.
Hubby nipped out to get a magic box from Aldi.
James Whale had a night off from his show.
We decided to try a find a great documentary series which we had recorded on our old sky box. We needed to see it again as the anniversary of 9/11 is coming up.

Time to leave the house.
Wobbly Work Wheel time 🎡
Armed with a cold bottle of water.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.
While I get my newpaper.
One man who was stood outside said to me:
"Are you going to Judo?"
I ignored him and got my newspaper.
Goes back to Sexy Beast to collect my big stick.
I got chatting to a Grandmother who was looking after her grandkids as they were not going to school during these hot temperatures.
I turn on my lights...
Now let's go to work...
There was hardly any traffic.
Crossed over about 20 parents and kids.
Getting well warm!
Glad I have got the bottle of water on me!
I finished in one piece!
As I was taking my coat off and putting in the boot of Sexy Beast.
I heard a very loud conversation between two mothers:
Mother 1: I really a drink on Thursday during the day, as it's my Birthday, but I have to pick up the kids from school!"
Mother 2: I will pick up the kids if you want.
Mother 1: Can you have a drink with me?
I got into Sexy Beast, and drove off before I heard the answer. 
Back home.
Coffee machine went on.
Summer coat and cap went into the washing machine.
Now to dip the feet into some cold water!
Cup of coffee time.
I hung the coat and cap on the line.
(Hoping it might be a bit damp for the afternoon shift)
Light lunch time!
Soaks the summer cap in a bowl of water.
Now to leave for the second part!
Puts on my lights,
Buys myself a ice lolly.
Collects my big stick.
Goes into the shade in the park.
My two friends arrive for a quick rabbit!
Sweating cobs when we walk over to my spot.
Said goodbye to them.
Now to start....
Bleedin' warm!
Hardly no traffic.
Crossed over about 10 parents and children.
Glad I had a bottle of ice cold water.
