Let Them Have Cake!

Love is the exploding cigar we will willingly smoke - Lynda Barry

Welcome to the Weekend 🎈

We had a nice lie-in.

Dropped of son at his boxing lesson.

We enjoyed a much needed Boost with coffee↓ 

We got the bedroom tidied up.

I had to sort out my baking hand↓

Once the cake went in the oven.

The washing machine went on.

Then it was time to play with Henry..

Tumble drier back on.

Light lunch time↓

Now to make more facemasks↓

Whiskey and Ginger Cake.

I got the shopping list from my neighbour.

It was still raining, and the wind got up!

Now to do the shopping for the week.

Once we did the shopping in Lidl.

We popped into Home Bargains for some Spring Onions for my neighbour.

The rain was lashing down and a dash of heavy winds!

Gets back home in the rain.

Dropped off my neighbour's shopping...

Put our shopping away.

Quick read of the newspaper

Welcome to my Thursday.

I had a nice reminder appear on my timeline on FB.

A little bit of Throwback Thursday↓

  I'm at Middle School & sitting on the front row.

Back today...

The sun is back for now..

  Still feeling cold.

Not quite cold enough for the thermal knickers, or leggings but the jumper will be worn... 
Nice hug and a cup of tea to keep warm with..

Before everyone left,
I gave out wet 💋💋💋💋 to everyone before they left.

 Coffee and Vitamin C time.
I gave the living room a good tidy up.
Now for a little ride in Sexy Beast..

 

 Frigging Cold↑↑↑↑
My 🍭 boss and wanted to see my Birth Certificate..

While singing along with Fleetwood Mac, I looked across the fields of fun...

 

 I had a nice red shiny face,
Just like my t-shirt I was wearing..↓

One caterpillar was making a quick get away↓

 I was singing along with some great 70s hits on the way home.

 

 I used up my £5 Bodyshop voucher on something nice↓

 After I came back from the Happy Place of Work, 
I make a nice bit of tea↓

 Meatballs with Linguine
Then we popped into Aldi to get some supplies.
Some nice wreaths to make↓

 

 Weaving Kit↓

I gets back to do the final job of the day with some great music↓

 

 Then we caught up with Your Fired.

We watched one episode of Law and Order which I have always remember when the suspect gets off, tries to strangle a member of the jury (he was seeing during the trial and afterwards)

She grabbed some shears and stabbed him to death.

 Now to enjoy some Big Love 💗💗
