Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪

I had a nice warm hug :)

Brew with Breakfast.

The thermal vest and many layers went on.

Good job I covered up Sexy Beast last night!

I gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋

Now to leave the warm house...

It's freezing!

On goes two winter hats, big winter gloves.

Now to walk up and turn on my lights.

Turns on my lights.

Now to walk on back down the road to my spot.

It's cold and frosty.

Two cars had to perform emergancy stops!

Three cars go straight under my stick like limbo dancers!

It doesn't help when car drivers don't scrape the car before they sat off...

Tank drivers I call them!

One woman I talk to was saying where her son is , in South Korea, it's -15c!

I laughed, and replied: 

"I won't never moan about -2c again!"

I survived the morning!

I move Sexy Beast.

I post the letter to my Prison Inmate in the USA.

Then it's into the Co-op...

Plenty of reduced veg to make soup with this week!

The self-service till kept going off with all the reduced items I had bought!

Then onto get my newspaper and next door's magazine.

Now home:

Coffee machine goes on.

Unpacks the shopping.

Now to get tonight's tea ready.

Pork Chops pan fried.

Stuffing added to them.

Put in oven ready for later.

All the vegetables put in their saucepans.

Now I need that coffee!

I wrote yesterday's blog post all the way to dinnertime.

Now to reheat the soup we made last night.

Sweet Potato, Carrots, Onions and Parsnip.

The sun was out, and that normally means low lying sun!

Big Big Sunglasses go on.

Two winter hats and gloves go on.

The low lying sun is back!

I turn on my lights.

Now for a little rabbit with my friends!

When it was time to start.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Now for the fun to start!

One grey car that never stops, kept going again under my stick it went!

A green car done the same.

My friend returned with his dog for the last 10 minutes.

The red car from Monday returned, and kept going under my stick again, and then turned left further up the road! 

At least I finished in one piece.

My friend, his dog and me went back to my car.

While chatting, we noticed something up in the sky!

I said to my friend:

"They finally found us!"

He laughed.

He said goodbye, and walked home with his dog.

Home time for me.

I covered up Sexy Beast.

Put the bins out for tomorrow.

Put the tea on.

Now to carry on watching a good film, I missed yesterday.

Cup of brew time.

Time to dish up the tea!

Yum Yum!

Time to look into today's newspaper.

Now to cut up some material...

I was chatting to the Postman who was covering the regular postman. The week after Christmas, the walk I live in wasn't took out for a whole week, as the regular Postman was on holiday. That's why I had tonnes of mail on the Monday after!

As a matter of fact, it will be 9 years tomorrow when Ieft Royal Mail after 22 years of delivering the mail. I spent 19 years on the same walk! 

My nice post!

Lunch time!

Both kids joined me for lunch.

They were soon back on the on-line learning.

I played my jukebox on Twitter.

It was nice to enjoy my Tea at 3 on time.

Puts on my playlist and gets down to sewing more facemasks...

Film time.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 when he came home.
