Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Nice warm hug to start Hump Day 🐪

Breakfast with Brew.

Thermal vest

+ 

Winter leggings go on.

Now to uncover Sexy Beast. 

I gives hubby a wet sloppy 💋 before I leave.

It might be a sunny Hump Day!

The 2 winter hats and big big gloves still go on.

I puts on my lights.

Now let the fun start 🍭

It seems my lollipop stick has turned invisible to some drivers.

Especially them coming up the road!

I had 5 cars going straight under my stick.

BOING x 5!

At least the sun is out!

Finished in one piece!

I filled up Sexy Beast.

Picked up my newspaper and my neighbour's magazine on the way back home.

Coffee machine goes on.

Dishwasher gets emptied and loaded up.

The soup maker comes out.

Chop chop I go with the veggies.

On it goes...

Puts out all the saucepans I need for tonight's tea.

Now for some much needed Coffee.

I got a reply to the report I gave to the Police about what happened on Monday↓

"Thank you for your report, I am sorry to hear that you are being subjected to such a lack of respect whilst trying to keep young children safe crossing the road.

  I have requested that your local neighbourhood policing team engage with you and offer some visible support.

  I have also recorded the details of the car that chose to drive around you and requested they are spoken to about their reckless driving, if they are a local resident."

 

Let's hope the neighbourhood Police team do come out and observe what is happening,as nothing has been done in the past 2 years I have been doing this job!

Soup done, that's our lunch for tomorrow. 

I got on with writing yesterday's blog post up to lunchtime.

Now to finish off the soup from yesterday.

The sun disappered and we had clouds instead.

On goes the winter hats and gloves.

I puts on my lights.

Off for a little rabbit with my two friends before I start my afternoon shift.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Let the fun start!

Oh dear, I'm having the same trouble as this morning. My big stick has turned invisible again.

I counted 15 cars going under my stick or on the other side of the road, just driving through.

One 61 plate white Corsa was waiting in a side road for me to cross someone over. The kids just got over the road, as he sped past them!

At least I survived for another day!

Hometime.

Back home.

A much needed cup of brew before I start on the tea.

I made my own Pasta Sauce.

(Added a bit of Chilli for a kick)

The pasta was just done when hubby walked through the door.

He had a sloppy wet 💋.

Dished up tea.

Afterwards I looked into today's newspaper.

Amazing who you bump into at Waterstones!

Hubby has applied for another job, 

A working from home one.

Fingers crossed he gets it.

He won't miss the driving to work and driving back!

Sleep Tea time.

Hoping my big stick will not be so invisible tomorrow!

Welcome to my busy Sunday💓

Little bit of a lie-in.

Hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Now to start to get the back garden cleared of stuff to go down the tip.

Filled car up, hubby and younger son went down to empty the car.

Meanwhile my other son and me were sorting through lots of black bags from the loft.

I found a Duck!

Edd the Duck.

When hubby came back...

Time for coffee!

Then to load hubby's car to go down the storage unit.

More sorting out to do.

Once car was loaded up.

We had a quick lunch.

Hubby went off to the Storage unit to unload his car.

Hubby comes back.

Now out in Sexy Beast. 

Check tyres,

Fill up, and get today's newspaper.

Back home to fill hubby's car up with more things to go to the tip!

Once filled up, off he went!

I found my Misty Annual from 1981!

I had this every Christmas until 1985!

Nice easy tea.

I was going to collect a Magic bag from Waitrose tonight, however they didn't have enough food.

So it was cancelled.

We picked up the first Magic Bag from Morrisons.

Then a Magic bag from M&S.

Now to catch up with a great film, we recorded earlier.

Sleep Tea time.

Quick look into today's newspaper.

David  McCallum  is a British-American actor and musician. He first gained recognition in the 1960s for playing secret agent Illya Kuryakin in the television series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. In recent years, McCallum has gained renewed international recognition and popularity for his role as NCIS medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard in the American television series NCIS. With John Leyton, he is one of the last living actors from the 1963 classic The Great Escape.

He is 88 years old 🎈

Michael  Elphick  was an English film and television actor. He played the eponymous private investigator in the ITV series Boon and Harry Slater in BBC's EastEnders. He was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the 1983 film Gorky Park.

In his prime, Elphick always looked older than he was, and with his gruff Sussex accent and lip-curling sneer he often played menacing hard men.

Elphick struggled with a highly publicised addiction to alcohol; at the height of his problem he admitted to consuming two litres of spirits a day, which contributed to his death from a heart attack in 2002. 

He would have been 75 years old 🎈

John  Challis was an English actor. He had an extensive television career but is best known for portraying Terrance Aubrey "Boycie" Boyce in the long-running BBC Television sitcom Only Fools and Horses (1981–2003) and its sequel/spin-off The Green Green Grass (2005–2009), as well as Monty Staines from the seventh series onwards in the ITV sitcom Benidorm, from 2015 to 2018. 

He sadly died today aged 79.

I actually met John Challis at a book signing in 2015.

Back on the wobbly work wheel tomorrow 🎡
