Trying To Move In An Adult Babygro!

What is too silly to be spoken can be sung -

Pierre de Beaumarchais

Welcome to aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Heardle Time!

Heardle 60s:

My answers:

Breakfast and Brew Time.

Thermal vest goes on...

Now to do the first shift of the week...

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one💋

Goes the normal way to work.

It's a bit foggy.

On goes the winter coat, winter hat and winter gloves.

Gets newspaper.

Fetches my big stick.

Then it's time to turn on my lights.

Once turned on,

Let's go to work...🍭

I had the normal suspects.

Followed by giving out some BOINGs

One parent I talk to, has been offered a house.

(She has been on the waiting list for 9 years)

Another parent has got a interview for a full time job next week.

Still some cars have to brake quick to avoid the big stick hitting their windscreen!

Finished in one piece!

Back home.

Coffee machine went on.

Sorted out the washing from the weekend.

Swept the path of the leaves...

Coffee time!

My clothes order arrived.

Woo Hoo.

Nice Polka Dot Jumpsuit.

(Adult Babygro without poppers)

I forgot to take off my long sleeved thermal vest, so it was a bit tight lifting up my arms.

It has really wide flaired legs.

I tried to use safety pins, however after trying to bend down it the jumpsuit, something nearly appeared at the back!

After struggling to get the jumpsuit or the Adult babygro I call it, I noticed the zip needed to be undone!

I need another coffee after that fun!

Followed by a light lunch!

Now back out to do afternoon shift.

Put on my Summer Coat, Summer hat on.

Turned on my lights.

Fetched my big stick.

Met up with my two friends for a good rabbit in the square.

It was time to say goodbye and start my shift.

Only had a few BOINGs, I had to give out.

Few had to brake suddenly.

The low lying sun held off for now.

Finished in one piece.

Home time.

A good cup of brew I need!

I done a early tea as both sons were going to a Full Council Meeting at the Town Hall.

Yum!

I looked into today's newspaper:

UK No.1 on this day in 1981:

The Police - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic

UK No.1 on this day in 1987:

T'Pau - China In Your Hand.

US No.1 on this day in 1960:

Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind

I found some winter hats without pom poms.

Soon sorted that out!

Hubby had a bit of an accident getting into his car!

Before collecting his pizza,

He got into his car and split his trousers!

(Good job he has a second pair!)

Kids came back from the Council Meeting.

Over 3 hours long and lots of snipping between the Tories and Labour councillors!

Sleep Tea Time.

Now off to enjoy that 16 tog duvet!

Time For The Earth To Move!

When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife - Prince Philip

Welcome to my Thursday Fun 🍍

We had our brew and breakfast early, as we were expecting a shopping order from Waitrose, early.

Got dressed.

I went outside to get some fresh air while waiting.

Hubby had to go to work.

He had a wave from me.

When the shopping arrived,

One of my sons took the shopping from the driver.

The driver commented, "I didn't know there were houses down here!"

I replied from my kitchen,"If I had a £1 for everyone saying that, I wouldn't be living here."

I thanked him for delivering my shopping.

I unpacked it and put it away.

Coffee time.

With a little nibble...

Afterwards I unloaded the dishwasher.

The sun was shining,

Now to enjoy it!

Now to have move the Toucans about in the garden...

Now to get yesterday's blog post wrote.

Once that was done.

Time to finish off the soup!

Then I finished answering all the answers to the 8 stages of my Crystal course I have been doing.

I will hand them in on Saturday.

Only 2 more weeks left!

Tea at 3.

I practiced doing a tarot reading on myself.

I just can't get on with these Tarot cards.

I looked up at the meaning for these cards using the booklet that came with the pack.

Didn't make much sense.

Used another Tarot book on meanings of the cards and I understand it better.

Time to put the tea on....

Hubby came back and went to take a Covid Test.

I dished up the tea.

2 Types of Pasta with mushrooms,garlic, red onions and Spinach.

Hubby's test was negative.

I will do one later on.

We carried on watching

Series 3 of Amazing Hotels.

Jade Mountain, St Lucia↓

Swinton Estate, Yorkshire ↓

Shangri-La, London ↓

I took a Covid Test.

Woo hoo!

I will take another one tomorrow!

Back to 🍭 next week!

We watch an episode of "Fame" from the second season.

Then we watched the final of the Apprentice.
