Welcome to my Saturday 👯

I have my interview to be my Ward Councillor on my local Council later....

(Fun,fun fun!)

Nice brew with warm hug.

Breakfast.

We did the Saturday quiz and got 8 out 15.

Dressed.

Quick coffee...

Now out for a little ride...

We got the newspapers.

I got chatting to a parent who I knew from doing my previous Lollipop job. From last Wednesday, they have been told (The staff in Tesco), they will refuse to serve people if they don't wear a facemask.)

Now on to get some meat. 

Once done there.

Just to do a bit of top up shopping until tomorrow.

Gets to pay for the shopping, then the red light goes off...

Back home..

Nice bit of soup to warm up with.

Got the tablet ready for the interview.

I got changed.

Pity I can't wear a badge which I found to wear at the interview↓

Things didn't go as planned 😨

I was second to be interviewed.

During the interview,

I was asked "If I would go for another ward, if I didn't get this one?"

(Red lights flashing!)

Waited in the waiting room to find out my fate.

My gut feeling says no.....

As normal, I didn't set my expections to high and my gut was right....

I didn't get chosen!

My interview notes went into the recycle bin! 

Now to wait for the gloating to start that I didn't get it!

My hubby was quite upset I didn't get chosen.

I gave him a big hug and sloppy 💋

As we have watched "House of Cards", I am glad I am out of it!

Tea time.

The steak was awful  😶

Quick catch up of the newspapers.

Bradford Dillman  was an American actor and author.  

He died on this day in 2018 aged 87

Then to watch a great film..↓

Sleep Tea...

We watched the newspaper review..

Then off to enjoy the 16 tog duvet..

Of course Saturday wouldn't be the same...

To wake up too early for "Sounds of the 60s"

 Listens to "Sounds of the 60's" in bed.

 Later on we have breakfast in bed :)

Once up and dressed.

Off to town...

 

 Looking down from the top of the Car Park↓↓↓

 

 Looking down again↓↓

 Collected Hubby's repaired mobile phone.

Next stop was for coffee.

 

 Bumped into two former Stepford wives from my son's First School.

One said "Hello" to me.

The other one totally ignored me.

So glad my kids have grown up and are at High School. Don't have to meet any of the Parents at all!

 Black clouds coming...↑

 Back home for lunch.

 

 Dark clouds coming over again.

 Time to pick up a little bit of shopping from Lidl.

When I got back,

Kenny came out for a quick play.

 I'm entering the Redditch Bake Off....

Once the cake goes in the oven, 

I sort all my cake crap out.

Only to find three boxes of icing bags I had been looking for.

The 4th box of icing bags, I bought today, should feel well at home!

We caught up with the 6th series of House of Cards.

Pity Frank wasn't in it...:(

Anyway watched 2 episodes then off to bed.

Another busy day lies ahead.... 

Using Every Second Of Sunday...

Action packed Sunday....

Hopped on the train to Birmingham

We used up the voucher that my son got for winning "Chef of the Year"

We had a lovely 3 course Chinese meals for 4 people for free...↓

Burned some of the meal off

Walking back to catch the train back.

 Once back home,

Time to tidy up the garden!

↑The front lawn has been mowed↑

↓Back onto watching a good boxset.↓👀

 

 

Playing With The Love Sausage....

Woo hoo It's Bank Holiday Monday!

After playing a lot with the sausage of life!

It was time to get up..

We visited my dad, and mowed his lawn.

 My spine was hurting, so no walking...

Now to finish off my day in Costa Del Redditch with:
