Nothing happened like yesterday,

Now to get ready.
One winter hat goes on without gloves!
I turn on my lights.

Bad sign, when the first car I try and stops,
It doesn't,

At least it is warm enough so I don't have to wear gloves this morning.
More BOINGS given out!
I was given an Easter egg off a parent.

Now to do part 2....
On the way, I was caught up with a road rage incident involving 2 vans.One went up to the roundabout and came back and showing the fingers at the van in front of me, then the van went about 10 m.p.h until it finally turned off into a side road!
One winter hat and no gloves.
Puts on my lights, and then it was time for a little rabbit.
A lorry was parked on double yellow lines just after where I do my job.....
I would have had problems seeing the traffic coming up the hill. It did move before I started work.
I said goodbye to my friends.
The blue sky is disappearing...
Now let's get it on....

Plus lots of layers.
No scraping of Sexy Beast to do.
I gives hubby a wet sloppy 💋
Off I go.
The wrong gate was open to the car park,
So I had to reverse, and get the car through the out gate.
Once I got my coat on, I went to lock the car, and my phone slid off the roof of the car onto the floor!
Am I going to have a bad day?
2 winter hats on, as well as big big gloves.
I put on my lights and off I went down the road to have some fun 🍭🍭
Plenty of cars going under the stick!
BOING!
One red car had to do an emergency stop!
Two drivers on the other side just ignored me and carried on driving!
Welcome to Monday!
I had a chat with someone today marked the 8th anniversary of his wife's death.
Last week was an anniversary of his son's death.
No wonder he hates January!
He pointed to the poster of the Comedienne and said,"Is that you?"
"No, she has seven chins, I only have five.
Anyway I am more funnier than her!"
He laughed and agreed with me.
I told someone I had visited Alcester's Charity shops on Saturday.
"More crap?" He said.
"Yes,but it's my crap now!" I replied.
Finished in one piece!
I fetched the newspaper on the way home.
Coffee maker went on.
Tumble drier also went on.
Cleaned the kitchen.
Unloaded and loaded up the dishwasher.
Now for coffee!
Then I moved some craft crap around.
Now I can move about in the Living Room!
I chatted with my friend for an hour.
Now to use up the soup!
Yum!
Then it is time for an eventful afternoon shift.
Singalong music on the way.
Two winter hats and winter gloves goes on.
Puts on my lights.
I got talking with my 2 friends before I started.
I said goodbye to my friends.
Now for the afternoon shift.
Then it kicked off!
I stopped a silver Land Rover Discovery 08 plate.
I was in the middle of road, crossing the parents and kids over, when the Land Rover didn't want to wait, she put her foot down, went around my hand, up the pavement and round and then turned left into the nearby side road!
All the parents couldn't believe what they just saw!
Just a few minutes after I returned to the pavement and raised my stick.
Two cars went under it!
Limbo dancers time!
I got one of the parents to write down the license plate of the Land Rover, as it went past me, with the Driver waving at the parent.
My friend with his dog just as I was finishing.
I told him of the fun I just had!
He couldn't believe it!
I had a chin wag with him for 10 minutes.
"See you tomorrow" as I drove away.
Back home.
I covered up Sexy Beast,
Just in case it turns freezing overnight.
Time for a much needed brew!
I wrote yesterday blog post.
Then it was time for meat-free Stir Fry!

Welcome to my Tuesday 💣
Hug and Brew time!
Breakfast.
I got the kids up for school.
Dressed.
Gave everyone a sloppy wet 💋💋💋 before I left.
I left off the big big sunglasses...as it was looking a bit cloudy.
The summer coat went on...
It looks warm, but it's not.
Good job I have a jacket on beneath my Summer coat. Let the fun begin.
I didn't have no cars failing to stop today!
No lambo again :(
Finished in one piece.
Now off home.
Much needed coffee with an apple.
Loaded up my Henry into Sexy Beast.
Cleaned, coffee and chat.
Back home I go.
Light lunch time.
I left early to try and get a parking space.
No where to park near my lollipop spot at all.
Back to parking in the supermarket car park.
I did go in and get some drinks for later.
Gets the summer coat on.
Nice long walk up the road to turn on the lights.
I chats with some of the parents while I waiting to start. People were fighting for car parking spaces.
There were blue skies and dark clouds...
There were no major problems of car drivers not stopping this afternoon...
Surely this can't last???????
I finished in one piece.
My friend came and visited me.
We both walked down to whereSexy Beastwas parked.
Said my goodbyes and off I went home.
Much needed coffee with crumpets.
Now out for a 60s singalong...
While on the way to work.
Someone in a grey Honda overtook a Blue Zafria right in front of the Speed Camera.
I followed the Zafria until it turned off.
Guess who I was behind at the traffic light?
The grey Honda who overtook the Blue Zafria and put its foot down!
I gets in to see a nice message aimed at me!
The two vaccum cleaner they gave me to use,
one has not got a PAT testing sticker on it,
The other one PAT testing sticker expired 2019
At least the toilet cleaner has come!
I switched the floor tool on one vaccum and it still wouldn't suck anything up!
So the whole pipe was put in Sexy Beast to be unblocked at home.
Finished on time.
Now for more fun on the way home!
One lorry followed me from the traffic lights, one car has slam his brakes on while coming out of a side road. This lorry didn't like doing 45 m.p.h.
It reminded me a film called Duel!
I went through the Speed Camera at 45 mph.
It was so close to the back of me, I couldn't see his license plate!
It turned off later on.
Later on, I followed a car sticking to the speed limit of 40mph.
It carried on doing 40mph in a 70 limit.
I overtook it, and looked up when I got off the duel carringway and it was following me, cars were overtaking it,as she went down to 20 mph in a 40 mph limit.
