Enjoying That Coffee Feeling!

Let's find out what everyone is doing, and then stop everyone from doing it - A.P Herbert.

Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈

Nice warm hug.

Brew with breakfast.

My Birthday was in the local newspaper..↓↓↓

Hubby gets ready to go to work.

He has a nice sloppy wet one before he goes.

I stop in a warm bed for a little longer.

Then it time to rise.

The thermal vest goes on once more.

Then it's time to go out for coffee and chat.

I get the newspaper on the way...

Parked up.

Then my friend and I went to the Coffee Shop.

Coffee and toast time.

We had a good yak.

Then we paid a visit to the Charity Shop.

I got some good bargains.

My friend gave me a Birthday Card, Birthday Presents and flowers.

She wished me a Happy Birthday for Monday.

Back home I go.

I put my friend's flowers on the doorstep.

Unpacked my bargains from the Charity shop.

Then I started to write yesterday's blog post up to lunchtime.

I got the breadmaker out and tried to make a bread mix of Chedder and Sun Dried Tomato.

I carried on writing my blog post.

The washing machine went on.

(Saves me doing over the weekend)

Tea at 3.

I tidied up the kitchen, ready for the delivery of the new cooker! 

Oh dear there was smell of burning coming from the kitchen.

The bread has risen over the pan and some of the dough had dropped on the heated element.

Nice smell of burnt bread!

In the end of the baking programme, the bread wasn't done either!

Will try again tomorrow...

(I will have to go easy on the Yeast this time!)

Hubby came back and a sloppy wet one.

Tea is served!

Wedges with Fish Cakes and Mushies.

Yum

Trying To Brake Like A Flintstone!

Nobody works as hard for their money as the person who marries it - Elbert Hubbard

Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

This week is going to be fun with me dodging the rain showers.....while doing my lollipop job 🍭

Warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

I gets up the kids ready for school.

I chose not to wear the sexy lumo trousers, as rain wasn't coming in until the afternoon.

I gave out those wet sloppy 💋💋💋

Then out I go..

Those big big sunglasses came out once more.

It was a bit quiet on the roads.

I still wore my winter coat and winter coat.

Tree pic.

This is where the fun starts....

Some teenagers were just walking across the road into moving traffic and not using me!

Great!

The woman driver who has failed to stop in the mornings, and found out why she is not stopping!

She was coming up the High Street, when I was in the middle of the road.

She attempted to come to a stop...

The noise of screeching metal to metal was so loud, she just about stopped.

(No brake pads to rely on!)

I'm surprised she didn't use her feet to stop the car!

I didn't see the lambo today :(

Some car drivers put their hand up when they go under my lollypop stick....

I might have to add blue lights and music to my lollipop stick, car drivers might STOP!

I finished just about in one piece.

Back home.

Quick coffee with apple.

Then it's time to load up Henry into Sexy Beast.

Off to do some more cleaning...

It being so warm, I was on the water not coffee.

Once I finished and on the way back home.

The rain started!

I had some hot soup for lunch.

I was in half a mind to wear my sexy lumo trousers for the second part of doing my lollipop job 🍭

Rain was forecasted all afternoon.

I wasn't going to risk getting wet.

So on they went.

Blue skies everywhere.

Until the last ten minutes it was sunshine.

Then the rain came down until I finished!

I finished in one piece but wet!

I chatted to my friend without his dog, as his dog doesn't like the rain.

I said goodbye to my friend and back home I go.

The muffins my son made in his cooking lesson at school↓

Quick coffee with crumpets.

Now back out with some great 70s hits..

I get in.

I have a blue bucket and blue mop head.

But no pole to attach the mop head!

Great!

 The polish also was delivered.

No Method polish either!

I hope this smells nice or I will get it in the neck on Friday after I have used it polishing the house in the morning!

I changed the red mop head on my mop.

Pity it the new one doesn't screw properly on!

I loaded up my skip and off I go..

I went over by a little...

(No chance of gettin paid for it!)

Back on the road with some nice music to listen and sing along with!

There was a nice rainbow for me when I got home.

Nice bit of tea made by hubby.

Quick look into today's newspaper.
