Terrible First Day Back!

 Life without you was like a broken pencil - pointless 

- Lord Blackadder to Elizabeth I, Blackadder II

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Back to work for me :)

Up early to do the Heardles.

60s Heardles:

My answers:

Breakfast and Brew time.

The thermal vest was put on, with lots of layers.

Now to leave the house.

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

On goes my winter coat, gloves and hats.

Goes and gets my newspaper.

The Christmas lights are still on and looking lovely.

Swaps my newspaper for my big stick.

Goes and puts on my lights.

While I was waiting, Traffic lights suddenly appeared and were turned on. I am going to have some fun on the first day back!

Turned on my lights,

Now to start work 🍭

Oh dear, it was chaos!

Two emergency stops, the second one, wound down her window and said "She was hungry for trying not to stop!"

One car drove straight through my raised stick and nearly tapped and cracked the windowscreen.

BOINGs  one after another.

Terrible day to come back to!

I need to get rid of this stress that was building up!

Finished in one piece just about!

I go to Morrisons.

And I started to sing along with the music....

Everyone was looking at me singing along.

I got a Birthday card to a little boy whose Birthday it is tomorrow↓

Back home.

The bed bases were put out for the council to take away.

The coffee machine was put on.

Two council trucks were parked over drive.

They were starting to empty next door.

I did offer if they wanted a drink.

They refused.

I had my coffee.

I started to make tonight's tea with a dose of more singing.

Light lunch time.

As I left the house, one of the workers banged my garden arch with a bed base!

Great.

The other worker, asked me who lived there?

I told him, "My neighbour had passed away a day before the Queen in September, and the son was here until last month."

He said, "One bedroom was emptied, the other two bedrooms were full, and all the other rooms were rammed!"

"Wow," I said.

He reckons "It will take 3 days to clear the house and shed!"

I did tell him about the Greenhouse and the boxes of china in there.

I said "Goodbye," and got into Sexy Beast.

There was no room in the normal car park I use, what with the traffic lights, it took me a bit of time to get to the other car park!

Winter coat, winter hats and winter gloves went on. Turned on my lights, the traffic lights are only letting 3 cars through.

Fetched my big stick and waited for my friends to appear in the square.

We are going to have some fun with the low lying sun again!

My friends came to have a rabbit...

When it was time to start.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Hoping it wasn't going to be a bad one like this morning.

Traffic lights and low lying sun created a right bag of chaos.No traffic was moving as the traffic lights stopped working!

Then the U turns started.

Car drivers still stopping in the Keep Clear space!

I was glad to finish in one piece!

Home time.

Nice cup of brew needed!

Chilled until hubby came home.

He had a sloppy wet one 💋

Time to dish up the grub!

Yum!

Now to look in the today's newspapers.
