Some car drivers were in a rush on the opposite side of the road not to stop.
One woman in a red car just looked at me as she drove past!
I survived the Monday morning \o/
Followed a Land Rover Discovery to the island.
It didn't stop, and barged itself around the island nearly crashing into another car coming round!

The parents and children couldn't get to the pavement she was parked in the way.She was given lots of death stares by the parents until she managed to move forward!
I finished in one piece.
I put my lollystick in Sexy Beast.
I had a parent in the car next door watching me doing it, and then said to me when she got out the car,
"We wondered how you was going to put that stick in your car!"
"There are 3 versions, one full one, one with metal in the middle, or a plastic middle.
I prefer the full one!" I replied.
Back home.
Sexy Beast gets covered up.
Now for a much needed cup of tea!
We had our tea early.
My nice meat free stir fry.
The Tiler came and did a bit more.
He is coming the weekend to finish it off.
Quick look in the today's newspaper.
Tom Conti is a Scottish actor, theatre director, and novelist. He won a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play in 1979 for his performance in Whose Life Is It Anyway? and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for the 1983 film Reuben, Reuben.

Mae West (born Mary Jane West) was an American stage and film actress, playwright, screenwriter, singer, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned over seven decades. She was known for her breezy sexual independence, and her lighthearted bawdy double entendres, often delivered in a husky contralto voice. She was active in vaudeville and on stage in New York City before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film industry.
West was one of the most controversial movie stars of her day;
she encountered problems especially with censorship. She once quipped,
"I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." She bucked the system by making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her film career ended, she wrote books and plays, and continued to perform in Las Vegas and the United Kingdom, on radio and television, and recorded rock 'n roll albums. In 1999, the American Film Institute posthumously voted West the 15th greatest female screen legend of classic American cinema.
She died on this day in 1980 aged 87.
Sleep tea time.
I found a job I was doing earlier in the year been advertised again.
It's gone up by £1!
I sent my CV. I won't get a reply as I am deemed a trouble maker for wanting my emergency tax repaid back to me.They held on to it for two months, after I mentioned ACAS, they repaid it back in the third month!
Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? - Mae West

One son wanted me to go in with him while he has jab.
The woman on the door, say:
"His brother can go with him the same time as his jab."
"That's good, I won't hear the screams from my car,"I replied walking back to Sexy Beast.
"So we have to hear them then?"She replied.
A good 20 minutes they came out. Sore arms, but everything was fine.
