More Celebrating To Do!

You can't have everything. I mean where would you put it? - Steven Wright.
Welcome to my Saturday Tidy-up 👋
We did the Heardles early....
Heardle 60s:
My answers were:
Now to listen to "The Sounds of the 60s"
with brew and breakfast.
The Top UK 3 in 1962.
3:
Brian Hyland - Sealed With A Kiss

Bobby Darin - Things

Frank Ifield - I Remember You 
One son walked to work.
The younger son went off to see his friend who had just come back from his holiday in Cuba.
We got on with tidying up the Dining Room.
A black foot print on the newly painted step appeared...
The story behind it...
Hubby who had painted the top wall above the front door, hadn't put the top of the lid down enough.He put it under the garden table. Something had knocked it over. Son had come back in the dark, didn't see it, and stepped in it, and left the foot print!
The pot of paint to carry on painting the step was misdelivered yesterday again to one of the factories. The Delivery firm wanted feedback.
Straight 0's they got.
Red light must have been flashing in the feedback office as had a email from them shortly afterwards to look in it!
 So the footprint stops on the step until the pot of paint can be redelivered to me!
Coffee machine went on....
After 25 minutes,it was time for a much needed coffee.
I came across a postcard that was sent to us in August 2011↓↓
I didn't find this postcard very funny.
As I had a purple hat for wedding which was only weeks away.
The person who sent this postcard was no longer invited to our wedding.
She had to sit on the wall outside the Registry Office, while we got married.
Lunch time.
Now for a little trip out...
The view from the car park.
Really great soundtrack from 1976!
Back home for a light tea.
 Quick look in today's newspaper.
UK No.1 on this day in 1983:
UB40 - Red Red Wine 
UK No.1 on this day in 2005:
Oasis - The Importance Of Being Idle
US No.1 on this day 1966:
Donovan - Sunshine Superman
US No.1 on this day in 1983:

Packed the overnight bag.
Out we go...
There was a wedding being held there.
We got the key.
Off to our room we go.
Time to use that big television!
A good film was on!
Then we had fireworks!
Sleep tea Time.
Now to try out the bed!
Night Night 😎.

Emptying The Skip!

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city - George Burns
Welcome to my Tuesday 💣
Nice hug with brew!
Breakfast.
I got the kids up for school.
Dressed.
It's going to be another warm one!
Gave out some sloppy wet 💋💋💋 to everyone.

 Big big sunglasses time.
Summer coat goes on.
Tree shot.
Now for the fun to start..
It was starting to get really warm.
Getting hot under the collar.
It's a lot better than yesterday for car drivers stopping.
Still no lambo :(
Finished in one piece.
Now home for coffee in the garden!
My friend got in touch to go around her house to see the state of her house after she had a fire in garage last year.
Where the fire started↑
This is where her daughter's cot was, 
Her room is above the garage.
This is the ceiling↑
She can't move back in until all the repairs have been made.She is looking at it being November.
Says Goodbye and goes home for lunch.
Then back out for the afternoon session.
On goes the Summer coat again.
I'm glad I took a bottle of water, it was getting really hot. Just three car drivers failed to stop.
There will be a time when stick hits windscreen.
Getting hot under the collar again! 
Finishes in one piece.
Gets home, and ex-plum is waiting to take his kids out to McDonalds. Has as quick chat, then off they go.
I have to get ready for my final shift at the cleaning job.
Off I go.
More big tunes to listen to:
Gets in.
Loads up the skip for the final time.
Didn't see no other cleaners.
After I finished.
I emptied the skip, just leaving black bags, feather duster and a new toilet brush in it with the vacuum cleaner.
Now to sing to my heart's content on the way home.
Back home.
I had a lovely tea.
Then to enjoy a nice long cold bath! 
I was too tired for Sleep Tea.
I am glad this is the last day of that cleaning job.
Let's see what Hump Day tomorrow brings..🐫
