Welcome to my Thursday 📷💥😁

Nice hug to start the day with.

Breakfast with brew.

Then it's time for the Thermal vest!

Got my bits ready.

Time to leave the house.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one before I left.

It was nice to see the sunshine.

At least I don't have to wear those sexy lumo trousers this morning.

On goes two winter hats and gloves.

I put on my lights,

Now for the fun to start!

Some car drivers don't realise you have to stop when I put my big stick out.....

In a little world of their own, and they go under it!

They have a BOING for their trouble.

A teenager tried to cross on her own over the busy road further down from me.

She gave up and crossed over with me in the end.

Towards the end, I had to shout to one parent pushing a pram, that a car wouldn't stop.It didn stop when my big stick appeared.

It tried to go, but another parent crossed over, and my big stick was in the way.

*Photo time for the local newspaper celebrating International Women's Day*

It will be in tomorrow's newspaper.

Once it was took.

I nipped into the Co-op to spend £20 and get £4 off.

Lots of leeks and parsnips were on the reduced stand. They will be going in the soup for the next few days!

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

The coffee machine was put on.

Unpacked the shopping.

Unloaded and filled up the dish washer.

Now time for that coffee!

I put the soup maker on to make a new batch.

Sweet Potato, Chicken, Tomatoes, and Mushrooms went in....

Now to try and get 2 blog posts wrote before lunch....

No chance...

Just about got one wrote!

Now for a light lunch.

The rain started just half an hour before I was due to leave.

On goes those sexy lumo trousers.

Now for round 2.

On goes two hats, waterproof gloves and boots!

Turns on my lights.

Then I go and join my two friends for a good rabbit about things!

Then it was time to say goodbye to them.

Round 2 time.

Then the rain started!

Good job I had the sexy lumo trousers on!

BOING, BOING and a bit more BOING.

The limbo drivers were out in force!

The cars were going too fast in the wet.

At least I survived to live to tell the tale!

I took off my sexy lumo trousers when I got back to Sexy Beast.

Now hometime.

I got talking to my neighbour's son for an hour in the rain.

When I got in, I had to finish yesterday's blog post.

Hubby came back and a sloppy wet one 😘.

He put in the German Hot Dog Sausages in the pan of boiling water.

I am having a Chicken Stir Fry instead.

Finished yesterday's blog post.

Now got two tickets to watch The Manfreds in concert this month.

Welcome to my Hump of the week 🐪

Brew with a very warm hug.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

I had blood test appointment early.

I get there early.

I tried to make the Blood Nurse smile.

Failed....

First I was weighed.

"Best to take off my trainers, as it will be a unfair advantage!" I said.

No smile there.

When I stepped on the scales...

I said:

"The red light is flashing."

No smile.

Blood pressure was fine.

The invisible veins were playing up, so the small needle had to come out.

I wished her a good day afterwards. 

I picked up husband and we got the newpaper.

I had my Amazon orders arrive↓

I back up more my stuff off the computer onto my new portable hard drive.

My Birthday card comes from my lovely friend.

Lunchtime.

Back to backing up more stuff.

The Waitrose driver couldn't find my house to deliver my shopping. I went outside to wave to him as I gave him directions.

As I was taking the shopping into the house, a big lorry couldn't get past his Waitrose van. Lots of horn was given.

I said thank you for my shopping, as he reversed his van so the big lorry could get past.

Tea at 3 time.

Put the shopping away.

More backing up of the stuff off the dodgy computer.

Tea goes in the oven.

I ordered some Sage,

(To burn it around the house to ward off spirits!)

More Judge Rinder is needed.

Tea is served.

We tried to watch series 6 of House of Cards.

Oh dear....

We gave up after 20 minutes.

At least my new computer is coming tomorrow.

Back on with the blogging \o/

Sleep Tea time.

More fun to have tomorrow!
