Left It Out In The Rain!

The most dangerous food is wedding cake - James Thurber 

Welcome to my wet and dry Thursday 💦

Breakfast and Brew.

The rain is coming in about 10am.

So hopefully I will stop dry in the morning!

Now out of the house...

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I left.

I put on my summer coat and summer hat.

Now to go and put on my lights...

Another one parking on the double yellow lines!

Puts on one set of lights.

Still no newspapers from the corner shop.

Found a book under the bench on the way back to Sexy Beast.

I collects my big stick.

Then I go and turn on my other lights. 

Now to go to work....

I had to give some BOINGs out as some car drivers were just ignoring my STOP sign!

Nice of a lorry to park on the double yellow lines opposite me, causing the traffic problems for me!

One of the parents were telling me their child were have trouble going to sleep at night.

I recommended Pillow Sleep Spray. 

 Then it decides to rain halfway through my shift!

Pity I have the Summer coat and no hood!

Finished in one piece but damp!

Now to go down to Co-op for the newspaper.

Once I got it.

Back home I go.

Now to try and warm up with a cup of coffee.

I wrote two blog posts up to lunch.

I am a really need of a liquid lunch...

I spoke to hubby on his dinner break.

Now to do the afternoon shift.

I still wore my summer coat and summer hat.

As it wouldn't rain again would it?

I turned on one set of lights.

My friend got her cake from the Bakery.

There were some nice things for sale...

Nipped into the Charity Shop.

I got something which I need for Tuesday afternoon.

Says goodbye to the staff in the Charity shop.

Turns on my lights.

Goes and fetches my big stick.

I then go and a rabbit in the square with my friends.

It was time to say goodbye to my friends and to do my afternoon shift.

Oh dear, on and off with the rain.

One Buildbase lorry wasn't going to stop, and then decided to and had to slam on the brakes!

One car failed to stop and it had a BOING for its trouble..

Someone went past, that looked like one of hubby's relations. Spooky!

Finished in one piece.

Back home I go.

Cup of brew needed.

I found out all the things I need for tomorrow morning.

Then I got on with the tea.

Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet one 💋

Tea is served.

Yum!

I looked into today's newspaper.

We caught up with a couple episodes of Top of The Pops.

1987 and 1984.

I ordered some things for the upcoming cake competition.

I am not going to be like Richard Harris and leave it out in the rain.....;)

Sleep Tea Time.

Friday Feeling is back tomorrow 🎈

 



 




 

Leaving The Cake Out In The Rain

"I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing," - Johnny Carson

Welcome to my Saturday🥮

I have the cake being judged later...

Sleepless night doing lots of tossing and turning...

 Hug and brew first.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

 Nervous about the judging of my cake↓

Off to the  Redditch LGBTQ Support Services BBQ and to see how my cake has gone on in the LGBTQ Bake Off↓

While the judges added up their marks.

Suddenly started to rain...

I'm not leaving cake out in the rain.

We hurry the cakes indoors ready to hear how everyone got on.

The moon cake came first.

Whoo hoo I came second \o/

All the cakes were then cut up and sold to help with the Pride Event in Redditch next year.

(Over £100 was raised \o/)

I swapped my second place prize of a bottle of white wine for some lovely Avon products.

(As I have been tea-total for 7 years)

We all had a great chat.

I was so proud of finishing second...

 Then off to do our food shopping↓

 Pity I don't drink↑

 I got one already↑

Gets back,

Gives my neighbour his shopping.

Unpacks ours.

Nice beefburgers in a bun for tea.

I put my Certificate next to our wedding photo in the hall↓

I was asked to make some black facemasks for a dear friend.

The only black material I had featured red dots on...

Off to Dunelm tomorrow, as younger son wants some black facemasks for school.

 Off for some walking tomorrow to walk off the cake I ate!
