Welcome to my Thursday 👍

Nice warm hug to start the day.

Breakfast with brew.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he left for work.

Then I started to wrap the final presents.

Then Thermal vest goes on.

Dressed.

Gets all the kids up.

One son is having his second Covid 19 jab this morning.

We leave the house.

We wait in the car park, while my son has his second Covid vaccine.

Then it's on to make my parent's grave feel a bit more like Christmas.

Then off to Sainsburys.

I picked up my Soup Maker from Argos.

Then I needed 2 more items.

The person in front has 26 items in his trolley.

Lots of tins of Quality Street, and Booze.

His bill came up to £197.

He paid in cash.

My two items came up to £3.50.

Loaded it up in Sexy Beast.

Now back home. 

Coffee machine put on!

What's behind the Advent Calender door?

Lunchtime.

My friend came round soon after.

Coffee, Banana loaf and chat.

Swapped presents.

Wished her a Happy Christmas.

My Cake tins arrived...

Out came Kenny to mix the mixture.

Lots of Brandy added.

(Finished what was left in the bottle)

I had to use another tin as well, as had some mix left over.

4 tier Xmas Cake.

The cake mix was added to the tins, and will be put in the oven tomorrow morning.

Hubby came home to have a sloppy wet 💋.

Dishes up the tea.

Quick look in the newspaper.

He was one of the few pre-Beatles British rockers to achieve worldwide fame, mainly for his 1960 hit, "Shakin' All Over".

He would have been 86 years old 🎈

The Friday Feeling is back 🎈

 

 

Flick, Flick, And More Flick!

 Welcome to my Sunday love 💓

I went to bed early last night, and stopped in bed longer than I should have ....

Nice to have a warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

The temperatures are to drop this week.

So on goes the thermal vest...

Dressed.

Now to sort out Sexy Beast... 

Checked the tyre pressures.

Next to pick up some bathroom paint from:

Once the tiling has been done,

The walls are going from pink to bright blue!

Back home.

The coffee machine went on.

So did the washing machine.

Coffee time!

Then it was blogging time.

I wrote 3 blog posts,

I had a break for lunch and then carried on.

The tiler carried on with tiling the bathroom.

He will carry on a doing a bit tomorrow night.

Tea time.

Published the three blog posts.

Now to settle down for some music...

Christmas Legends:

But Who's The Oldest?

It's a pity they didn't include two members of MUD that are still alive!

Rob Davis: Born 1947 

Ray Stilies: Born 1946 

Their Christmas song is at the end of the blog!

Inbetween flicking inbetween the music channels, I also enjoyed some Genesis and Phil Collins...

I did miss my favourite Phil Collins songs...↓

Moving along to another music channel..

Quick look into today's newspaper...
