Passing The Llama Around !

Don't torture yourself. That's my job - Morticia Addams, The Addams Family

Welcome to my Thursday Coffee,Cake and Chat day 😍

I had a nice shower before Breakfast and Brew.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before he went to work.

Now to load up the cake into Sexy Beast.

The books for the Charity Shop.

My youngest son is ready to go.

Here we go...

Parks up.

I met one friend walking his dog, I gave him two cupcakes, and will see him and his wife later on at the coffee morning.

Drops off the cakes, ready for the upcoming Coffee Morning.

Then off to drop off things at the Charity Shop and their chocolate cake I made for them.

My cupcakes had gone but my Llama cake was still there.

I had a coffee and a little bit of someone's else's cake.

Had a chat with 3 of my friends, the 4th friend was busy.

One friend left, and will be seeing him later on in the month as it's his 73rd Birthday 🎈

No one wanted my Llama cake, it was going to be the 7th prize in the raffle.

In the end I took it back, put it back in the tin.

I left with my two other friends.

(I did try my luck on the raffle)

(I will find out later if I have won something)

I wished my friends a good holiday and off we went to see if I could give my Llama cake to someone else.

First went over to my friend's workplace.

Locked up.

Went over to see his husband at home.

Not there either.

Leaves a wet raspberry as a message on his answering machine.

Goes home to unpack all my goodies.

Liquid lunch time.

Didn't win nothing on the raffle :(

I got on with writing two more blog posts.

I am waiting for the Heating Engineer to service our 15 year old boiler since 8am, no sign of him just yet, as I sit down to write yesterday's blog.

The breadmaker baked another lovely loaf of bread.

I got my Omega delivery delivered :)

I had a important email come through.

I have been added to the Shielding list until March 31st!

Only allowed out of the house for medical appointments and exercise.

One of the Solictors dealing with my late dad's house sale, was given the wrong email for me.When she was given the right email address,she wanted some papers about the house. I told her, the younger brother has all those documents:

As the Whitney Houston's song goes...

I have nothing, no documents concerning the house whatsoever!

I wrote and published yesterday's blog.

Even had time to do my jukebox of tunes on Twitter :)

Lunchtime.

I got through to my Doctors after 15 minutes to see about my X-ray results.My Doctor haven't seen them yet.

I got booked in for a blood test.

As I can't have it done at my normal place no more!

I mentioned I was put on the Shielding list and was booked to have the Covid jab next week :)

I tried to watched the programme that is Number 1 on Netflix...

Bored.

I watched a great film instead.

I enjoyed Tea at 3.

It was coming up to 10 to 4pm when still the Heating Engineer hadn't arrived to service the 15 year old boiler of ours.

I phoned the Council, she says:

"He turned up on 10am."

"Funny that", I didn't hear any knock on the door!"I replied.

Trying again for someone to come back again sometime next month.

When hubby came back from work.

He had a nice sloppy wet 💋

Pork Belly, with stuffing and veg.

We then watch 4 episodes of Judge Rinder.

Sleep tea time↓↓

Friday Feeling 🎈 is back tomorrow

As well as two episodes of Top of The Pops from 1990.

One song that is featured, won't be forwarded, is at the end of this blog post.
