Bank Holiday Monday

Welcome to my Monday 🎈

I woke up at 4.30am and couldn't get back to sleep. So downstairs I went for a much needed cup of brew!

I soon fell asleep until I woke up much later.

Time for breakfast with brew.

Time to get dressed.

Hubby was going to Lidl with younger son to get bits and the newspaper.

I gave him a sloppy wet 💋

I sorted through all my clothes that were hung up on the bedroom door.

1st New Year Resolution:

Not to buy any more clothes

I also sorted through 2 baskets of dry washing.

(The washing machine was back on)

My fabric order arrived \o/

Hubby and son came back.

Son had to spent £10 in Lidl.

It cost him nothing.

The soup maker went back on.

Chicken & Sweetcorn Soup.

Hubby finished off painting the bathroom.

My Amazon order arrived.

Another picture frame for a completed jigsaw to go on my son's wall.

Tea at 3.

Now to glue the arm back on the chair!

Now to put the things back on the wall in the bathroom.

Hubby was going to play snooker with his new cue I bought him for Christmas.

Fingers crossed he wins his match!

I put all the toiletries back on the shelves.

Second New Year Resolution:

Not to buy any more body butters or body lotions

I got on making my meat-free Stir fry.

Quick look in the newspaper.

Flicking through the channels for something to watch...

I came across The Fog....

It got a bit creepy for me,🙈

I left the room to fill up the dishwasher.

Still creepy.... 🙈

Time to turn it over before the fog comes back!

Sleep Tea Time.

Hubby came back from snooker, and finally won his match!

Woo hoo \o/

The temperatures are dropping....

Nice Warm Friday Feeling!

You don't have to be mad to work here, but it helps - Anon

Welcome to join in with my Friday Feeling 🎈

Nice to enjoy a warm hug

with a hot brew.

Breakfast.

Opened the curtains...

Nice sunny day ahead...

Dressed.

Gives hubby a sloppy wet 😘 before I go.

The place where I normally park wasn't open.

I parked in the nearby car park.

I put my jacket on under my Summer Coat.

Now for the Friday fun...🍭

I kept hearing Agadoo

My phone kept ringing....

It was ex-plum.....

(As I'm on duty, I'm not allowed to answer my phone!)

I stopped the brown car that thought it was funny to try and run me over a few afternoons again.Didn't find it funny.

Then on the return leg, she got stopped again.

Some cars were going too fast, and when my stick gets lowered, the brakes have to been slammed on!

I finished in one piece.

I answered Ex-Plum with a text message with OK.

Now to get to Webbs...

I go through Hanbury....

I missed my B3 space...

Meets up with my friend for coffee,nibble and yak!

Then it's time to look around...

Christmas is coming....↑↑↑

Back to Sexy Beast....

Said goodbye to my friend.

I went past Bromsgrove Morrison's petrol station, there was a massive queue for petrol.....

I remember back in 2000 when it was like that........

Back home.

Light lunch.

My son dressed as Where is Wally comes back with some of the cake he made.

All his 6th Form Year gave him an applause when he got into school for dressing up as Where is Wally.

Now for me to leave....

On goes the Summer coat.

I get a ice lolly.

Then I put on my lights.

I collect my lollipop stick,

And enjoys the sunshine.

Now to start the afternoon shift...🍭

It wasn't as bad as last Friday afternoon, not by a long shot. Still cars braking the last minute when I either lower the stick down, or I stood in the middle of the road!

I finished in one piece.

Back home.

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Hubby came back with some Fish and Chips with Curry sauce!

I gave him a sloppy wet 💋

Hubby dropped off one son at his football, then carried on to the shopping with our other son.

I meanwhile had some newspaper reading to catch up with!

He would have been 79 years old🎈

He died in 2021 aged 78 years old.
