Get Back

Hubby had to go and have his hair cut.

I had to put 5 baskets of wet washing on the line.

When he came back, boo hoo his lovely thick hair had gone!

Now for town we go...

We parked in Car Park 4.

Nice views.

We done some shopping in the Kingfisher Shopping Centre.

Next stop was the library.

Sid Khan took my photo surrounded by Councillors from Redditch Borough Council

Hubby was being my bodyguard!

We had a coffee after the chat.

Off to look around the Charity Shops.

I started to sing along with Lou Reed's "Perfect Day", and someone enjoyed my singing!

Wow!

Got loads of things for the upcoming raffle.

Back to the car.

Drink and nibble time.

Back home.

Unpacked all the things that is going into the raffle next month.

Liquid lunch time.

With coffee....

Out of the house we go.

Went out with hubby to get some fuel for his car.

While hubby was filling up.

There was a man opposite, kept staring at me.

Filling his car up - Stared at me.

Got his wallet out of the car, turned around and stared at me.

Off he went into pay for his petrol.

He was still staring at me while he was paying for his petrol.

As soon as hubby got back into the car, I told about the Stalker.

When the man came out, hubby locked eyes with the Stalker, I lowered my eyes, and then the Stalker lowered his eyes to the floor.

We left before he did!

Now onto Lidl.

Got something for tonight's tea.

Back home.

Now to enjoy some Top of the Pops - 1987

The way I look at it, I'm a human being first and gorgeous second - Harvey Fierstein

Welcome to my Monday 😁

Nice warm hug for me.

(Kept waking up due to pain in right knee!)

Brew with breakfast.

No wobbly work wheel for two wheels \o/

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one before he left for work.

I have jobs to do around the house.

The coffee machine went on.

Sorted through two baskets of clothes, one son had bought down. Some clothes I had washed last week, and he hadn't even worn.

One basket went back upstairs to his room.

Washing machine went on.

Poured the coffee and took it upstairs.

Sorted out all the clothes I washed over the weekend.

My youngest son was coming out with me for a ride to the Salvation Army Charity Shop.

Just abouts got a parking space opposite.

Gets the newspaper from the Co-op.

Waits for the Charity Shop to open.

Once open, I gets some bargains.

Back to Sexy Beast with them.

Back home.

Unpacks the bargains.

I bought a Candlewick bedspread for £3.

Looks like this but in purple.

Nice beach mat for £1.

I put the soup maker on.

Both sons were off to do and take part in a Massage Course.

I will see them later afterwards, as I am finishing my Crystal course.

Light lunch time...

Now to drop the pot of lavender to my parents.

Nothing has been removed since Mother's Day.

Now off to finish my Crystal Course.

I answered the questions and put the crystals where they are supposed to go.

Passed!

I have a good book to read tonight.

Thanks Joe for a great course.

Brings kids home.

Cleansed my crystals.
