Ha Ha It's Still Only Tuesday!

I have nothing to declare except my genius - Oscar Wilde
Welcome to March 🎕
Now onto the 50 year old Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Nice warm hug.
Followed by breakfast and brew.
Gets dressed.
(thermal vest goes on)
Now it's time to leave!
I gives hubby a wet one before I leave.
As the sun is out and it's nice and bright.
Outcomes the big big sunglasses.
As well as the two winter hats and gloves.
I put my lights on.
Now for the fun to start!
Bad to the normal again.
Limbo drivers back in force!
One Land Rover on the otherside.
Was too busy looking down at his phone and smoking his cigerette to notice I was walking in the middle of the road.
One ex-friend has gone from grey to blonde when she drove past....
(that has took 20 years off her now!)
Finished in one piece.
I got chatting with a parent who shared my Birthday yesterday, her sister was born on a Leap Year day.
I got the newspaper on the way home. 
The coffee machine was put on.
I did some housework...
Now for some strong coffee!
I got yesterday's blog post wrote.
I had a knock at the door.
Someone holding a car bumper shape parcel.
The delivery man thought it was for my neighbour, until I looked at the name.
It was for the factory next door!
Then off he went with it.
Another Birthday card arrived from a good friend :)
Now for some nice liquid lunch!
It was forecasting rain in the afternoon.
So on went the sexy lumo trousers again.
Now for round 2 in the rain!
On went the boots, 2 hats, and waterproof gloves.
I turned on my lights.
Then off to talk to my friends in the rain!
We had a good laugh until I had started round 2.
It might be raining, but the car drivers are not stopping!
Few BOINGs were given out to the Limbo drivers!
I hate it when it rains, as with my hood up, I can't hear anyone creeping up behind me!
Finished in one piece.
Hometime.
I got chatting with one of my ex-customers who I used to deliver her mail.
We had a good yak and laugh for about 40 minutes!
I am glad they didn't lock the gates!
Now for a much needed brew!
My Birthday £5 voucher at Hobbycraft, needed spending.
Got some nice Gel pens, for when I write to my Prison Pen Pals.
As it is Pancake Day, I had something different.
Hubby came home and he was rewarded with a sloppy wet one.
Hubby and kids had two big pancakes each.
I had a Meat Free Stir Fry instead.
Now for a quick look into today's newspaper.

Sleep Tea time first.
Hoping for a Sunny Hump day tomorrow 🐪

Having The Patience of Jobe!

Take care of the luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves 
- Dorothy Parker 
 Welcome to my Monday 👺
Brew with hug.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Gives hubby a wet sloppy 💋 before he goes to work.
I gets the kids up ready for their on-line school learning.
Hubby is getting the newspaper before he goes to work.
I enjoy a coffee before I start on the housework.
Dishwasher gets loaded up.
Tumble drier goes on.
Put recycling in the bin.
Even Henry comes out for little play.
Now to try and paint the skirting going up the stairs.
The yellow paint let off some strong fumes.
I opened the window on the stairs to let out the smell.
I let what I painted to dry.
I settled down to write 3 blog posts!
Oh dear.
The computer wasn't playing today.
It took the rest of the day to write them.
Computer kept crashing....
I hear the kitchen bin lid suddenly come off.
No one was in the kitchen at the time!👻
I had to have some light lunch before I even finished Friday's blog post!
I got my portable hard drive and started to take my stuff off the computer, when it would let me before crashing!
Well earned Tea at 3!
Back to saving my stuff and trying to write 3 blog entries.
Just before hubby came home,
I had finally finished!!!!
Who would though blogging could be so stressful!
While cooking the stir fry,
The front door handle was being lifted up and down, from the inside, again no one was there! 👻
Much needed hug and sloppy wet 💋 time with hubby!
Chicken Stir Fry time!
We watched today's episode of Judge Rinder.
