Welcome to my wet Hump of the Week 🐪

At least the garden is being watered!

 Hug and Brew time↑↑

Breakfast.

Dressed.

It looked like rain...

Off out in Sexy Beast..

 On the way back,

It started to rain.

Lucky escape!

I gave hubby a sloppy 💋 before he went off to work.

I had a quick coffee,

Before writing yesterday's blog post.

You Tube or my computer was now letting me see the videos I wanted↓

Quick look in the newspaper↓

  Friend arrived.

Time for a good yak↓

 Black suit trousers arrived for my son.

I also had a nice delivery of more funky fabric↓

 I said goodbye to my friend.

(We will meet up next week)

I missed the temperatures in the USA...

(Normal service will resume tomorrow)

Now to use some nice material↓

 Cut out all the material to make some face masks..

A quick Tea at 3↓

 Getting back onto sewing with my sewing machine↓

One face mask made.

Onto the second one and the bloody needle breaks again↓

 Plus the bobbin was making a noise too.

(I have to use a bigger bobbin says the book that came with the machine.)

Takes the machine apart...

To clean below↓

 I bought this one with the last of my redundancy money.

(Not off Gumtree either!) 

Once I gave it a good clean downstairs.

Fixed another needle, and put everything back together!

Time to use a bigger bobbin↓ 

 Left it after putting the bobbin in the bobbin holder.

I put the tea in the oven.

Now to thread the bloody new needle again....

Hubby came back and asked how it went this afternoon...

I didn't have to say anything...

My face it all.

Finished number 2 facemask except for the pleats, which I will do tomorrow.

Now to dish up the grub!

Then off to work I go...

Great tune to start with↓

 

 Plenty of singing to do....

Back home in the dark↓

I surprised myself knowing the lyrics word for word to one particular song I was singing when I got in.

Even my two teenagers were surprised, I even did the hand moves↓

 We watched the episode of NYPD Blue when Jimmy Smits character dies....↓

 Bobby Simone

(Hubby was getting upset as it reminded him of his mum passing away in hospital.)

At least Jimmy Smits won a Golden Globe For Best Actor in A Drama Series in 1996 

& Outstanding Performance award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards↓

Sleep tea drank↓

One of my son's has his GCSE's results tomorrow. \o/

  With the first coffee of the day↓

  Now to start to write yesterday's blog.

I don't know whether my computer or You Tube was playing up. I couldn't put a lot of Belinda Carlisle's pop videos on as a lot of her videos were unavaliable.....

Even a mash up Talk Talk/No Doubt/Michael Jackson's It's My Life video was unavaliable .....FFS

(I only listened to it yesterday!!!)

(It's now back on!) 

I was having emails about the start of the new school year.

I might have to find out and dust down my suit to wear at dinnertime↓

&

One for my Lollipop job↓

 When it takes me about an hour to write a blog post, due to having problems with putting the videos on, it took me a further hour and another cup of coffee!!! Grrrrrr

I was glad when lunchtime came round!

 Let's see how hot it is in the USA↓

 I had more lovely material arrive↓

 Time to make more funky facemasks↓

 I got two rainbow facemasks made.

Just started to finish the shiny blue one when the needle snapped off!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrr

Removed that one.

The second one ended up being bent!

 I added a third needle.

I couldn't thread the thread.

Tried the needle threader↓

It broke off!

FFS

I needed a belated tea at 3↓

 After pissing about for another half an hour, I finally threaded the needle!

I then had to walk away and let my patience grow back!

I put the tea on...

Hubby had a bad afternoon at work as well.

Nice sloppy 💋 and a big hug...

We then felt a lot better!

Tea was ready↓

 Another episode of ↓

 Then off to do some work...

 First big tune↓

 Lots of singing along.....

It's nice and dark when I got back home↓

 It's Billy J Kramer's 77th Birthday tomorrow....plenty of tunes of his on tomorrow's blog post.

Here is a tune to get you into the mood!

 It looks like it's going to soggy Hump of the Week tomorrow...

I took my sleep tea upstairs to bed↓

Let's hope I have a better day tomorrow...

Surely it can't get any worst?????
