If I Could Only Reach!

Don't look at me in that tone of voice - Dorothy Parker

Welcome to the fun of Tuesday 👅

Rain was forecasted for the morning, so got the sexy lumo trousers ready to wear.

Breakfast and Brew.

On goes the thermal vest and the sexy lumo trousers.

Time to leave the house in the rain...

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.

Gets to work.

Gets on the winter coat, waterproof gloves and waterproof shoes.

Walks down to turn on my lights.

The newspapers weren't delivered.

Will try to get it from someone else.

Goes and turns on my lights.

Goes back to Sexy Beast to collect my big stick.

Walked over to my spot.

Raining nice and heavy.

Half an hour into my shift, the rain stops and the sun comes out!

Two BOINGs given out and some last minute braking.

I had a convoy of car drivers on the otherside of the road failing to stop.

If I had a 8ft stick I would have got them to stop!

Finished in one piece.

I takes off the lumo trousers, and off to get a newspaper.

Goes to Morrisons to get the newspaper and bits.

Found a list in my trolley↓

Got chatting to a good friend, who used to be my late parent's postman.

He will be celebrating his 80th Birthday in two weeks.

I told him,"He doesn't look a day older than 60!"

He was happy with that!

Got my bits and left the store and home I go.

The coffee machine went on.

Loaded up the dishwasher and put it on.

Coffee time.

More blog posts to write.

I had some "Pick of the Pops"to catch up with.

Nice tune from 1976.

Really good chill out tune :)

Liquid Lunch time

On the way out to do the afternoon shift.

My old neighbour's son went past and waved at me. His friend was following him, and stopped for a chat. Told him of the possible move I might have to do if court action is ruled against me.

After saying goodbye to him.

I left.

There was room in the car park today \o/

Big winter coat, and gloves goes on.

Puts both sets of lights on.

One friend came,

(The other friend was waiting for people to come and do things around his house)

More friends joined in for a group rabbit!

It was time for me to start.

I said goodbye to everyone.

Low lying sun time!

Still had car drivers not stopping on both sides.

I put my stick out, and this car driver suddenly done a emergency stop!

I could feel the burn when I crossed the road in front of him!

Finished in one way.

I'm not going to have a lot of kids to cross over due to the Teacher's Strike.

Now home I go.

Time for a brew.

The friend of my late neighbour's son came around again to stay the Council just can't evict me, I know that.

I was in the process of putting in a Freedom of Information about what the Council is going to do with land my house is sitting on.

I thanked him for coming round.

Hubby came back and had a sloppy wet one 💋

Nice light tea.

(Ate it before I take a photo!)

Now to look into today's newpaper.

Now to leave....

I decided not to wear the sexy lumo trousers as Google said it was going to get the rain in afternoon instead.

Gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋

I had to go the long way round to work.

As the other two possible ways were rammed with traffic!

Big coat goes on,as well as winter hat.

Gets the newspaper.

Collects big stick, and goes and turns on my lights.

Now let's go to work...🍭

Oh dear....

One car didn't want to stop and went around my stick.

The sun came out which was nice.

Plenty of BOINGs given out on my side and the otherside for not stopping!

I finished in one piece \o/

Now home I go...

Coffee machine went on.

I got the 3 meals ready for tonight.

Loaded up Dishwasher.

Swept the path of leaves.

I came back in afterwards.

The cheeky Robin was sat on the kitchen table looking at me.

I opened the back door and left him out!

I refilled all the fat balls and bird seed out the front.

(I will see how long it all lasts)

Now for that cup of coffee!

Looked out of the front door....

Parking over the drive again!

Even if I paid to have a dropped kerb,

They would ignore it and still do it.

I did ask my late neighbour to go halves on getting it done, he wouldn't do it, and then he went and bought another car a few weeks later 😑 

I wrote yesterday's blog and published it.

I had salad once more for lunch...

As there was rain forecasted, on goes those sexy lumo trousers.

I had to go the long way round again.

Gets a parking space.

On goes the Winter coat and winter hat.

I turns on my lights.

Back to Sexy Beast to fetch my big stick.

Only one friend turned up.

We still had a good rabbit!

Then it was time for me to start!

I said "Goodbye" to my friend and "See you tomorrow!"

As soon as I started the rain came down!

After 15 minutes, a rainbow appeared!

Now I have problems with low-lying sun!

One car went around my stick as if I wasn't there. So close to that windscreen!

More cars on the otherside wasn't stopping either.

Lots of BOINGs given out for that!

Finished in one piece!

Back home I go.

It was getting busier on the way home, so I went an extra couple of miles home.

Cup of brew is needed after that fun I had.

Now to get on with the tea.

While the rice is cooking, I do the other two meals for our kids.

Hubby comes home and has a nice sloppy wet one 💋

Tea is served up!

Yum!

I looked into today's newspaper.

Found out the road that has been closed all week due to it being repaired, had a bad case of flooding again, causing Studley to have no water!

(source Facebook)

It looks like the road will be remain shut for another 7 days now!

Let's hope nothing stops the traffic going through the village tomorrow!

We caught up with the news.

Sleep Tea time!

Hoping for a sunny Hump tomorrow 🐫

 

 
 

 

 

 

Getting Ready To Go Back!

Welcome to my Halloween 👻

It was nice to have a lie-in...

Lots of rain going on outside...

Nice hug with brew.

Breakfast.

My watch has a button that has stopped working to put back the hour and minutes back!

I bought this watch four years ago...

Speaking of four years ago.

I had a major accident which involved my achilles tendon snapping off, breaking a bone in my foot. 8 months off work, learnt to walk again. 

The NHS,family and some good friends help me get better a lot quicker!

As soon as I got back to work at my old lollipop job, 

(I did 21/2 weeks before I broke up for the 6 weeks school holidays)

Then I was made redundant from it :(

At least I have another lollipop job to do....:)

One minute raining heavily, then it stops...

I put my lollipop stuff in the car ready for tomorrow. 🍭 

Coffee time.

Washing machine went on.

My hunt for a simple watch was on.

I was not going to get a £350 watch....

I don't need the bells and whistles......

At least a good DVD boxset arrived.

One son filled out his application to get a Passport.

(He is going on a Foreign School Trip next year)

I sorted it out.

The other son needed a Scientific Calculator for his A level Maths and Chemisty.

I got that for him.

I finally found a watch that wasn't in the £££££'s.

Lunchtime.

Now to watch Red 2.

Really Great Film :)

After watching it.

Time to write my blog post from yesterday!

Then it was time for showers for everyone!

Tea time.

Then to watch the first disc of the Kenny Everett boxset that was delivered today...

George Harrison's "Something" is released by the Beatles as a single in UK, his first "A" side in 1969.

Dame Shirley Bassey did a good cover of it...

Sleep Tea Time.

Back on the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow.

(Hopefully without all the rain we have had today)
