Crazy Drivers Are Back Again!

There's no room for amateurs, even in crossing the street 
- George Segal, on New York
Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Breakfast and Brew.
Dressed.
Now out of the door.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 😘.
I had to park in the car park opposite as the Village Hall car park wasn't open.
On goes the Winter coat, summer hat, gloves,
&
Big big sunglasses.
I walk down to turn on my lights.
I gets the newspaper.
The gates are now open.
Moves Sexy Beast.
Gets my big stick out.
Now off to turn on my other lights.
Now to go to my spot...🍭
It was quiet for a bit, as the High School was having TE day.
I got chatting with the parents and children.
One SUV drove straight under my raised stick!
"BOING" he received.
Still had cars on the otherside weren't stopping.
I survived this shift.
Back to Sexy Beast.
I got changed and popped into the Village Hall for two agendas for tomorrow meetings.
Back home I go.
Coffee time.
Sorts out some Council Business.
Sends some ideas for next year's 80th Anniversary of D - Day.
Cuts up Halloween cake for my 4 friends.
My dress for Rememberance Day arrived.
Liquid lunch.
Has a text from younger son about having a melt down at work.
I have a quick chat with hubby on his lunch break.
Then off out I go.
Pops into see son.
He is alright now.
I bump into my lovely friend who I used to work with at Royal Mail.I give him a big,big, hug as I haven't seen him in ages.
He is visiting Scotland on a Coach next month just before his Birthday.
I wished him a lovely time.
On the way out, I saw a Councillor on the Poppy Stand. I got a lanyard and a poppy to add to it.
Got chatting about the house next door.
Then off I went, back to work.
I visited the War Memorial, as it was cleaned last week.
(Someone told me this morning)

I walked back to Sexy Beast.
I got on my winter coat, summer hat, and big big sunglasses.
A good Pillar Box topper appeared:
I dropped some cake around to my friends, turned on the lights, and walked down to the Charity Shop.
I had a yak and look around.
(Didn't buy nothing)
Says goodbye to everyone.
Turns on my other lights.
Gives a piece of cake to my friend.
Gets big stick out and off to the square we went.
I had chat with one of the mothers.
Then I say goodbye to everyone and has to put up with the low lying sun.
Then I have two vans blocking my view of cars coming up the road.
The Traffic Warden told to move, 
It did to the opposite side on double yellow lines and on a bus stop. The van then moved and parked on the live single line further down the road which you can't park on between 3pm - 4pm.
The Traffic Warden ticketed a red car that was parked on the live line earlier and got abuse for giving them a ticket.
My fun carried on.
Nearly hit a windscreen as a car drove straight under/around my raised stick.
One car slammed his brakes on, causing smoke to come from his wheels and made a nasty skid mark on the road when they stopped!
My other friend appeared towards the end of my shift.
Once I finished, we walked over to Sexy Beast.
I gave him, his piece of Halloween cake.
I told him to be a bit earlier tomorrow.
I wished him a good evening.
On the way home, I followed an ex-Councillor.
He kept looking at me in his mirror as his car was veering to the left a lot. He went off down a side road. I was worrying he was going to follow me home!
Cup of brew time.
I wrote two blog posts.
Tea time.
Then to read today's newspaper.
I had a parcel of mine, pushed through the letterbox.
Must have been posted to one of the factory units.
I'm glad I finally got it, as what's inside is needed for Sunday!
Got some more Council work done.
Caught up with the news and newspaper review.
Sleep tea time.
Early night needed.
Just as I was going to sleep,
Younger son came through the front door...
Zzzzzzzz.

No Magic Here!

I was pretty - so pretty that actresses didn't want to work with me - Roger Moore.
Welcome to my Sunday 💓
Breakfast and Brew.
Dressed.
Leaves the house for a little ride out. 
Now to check the tyre pressure of the new tyre I had put on yesterday.
That done.
First I dropped off some carrots to one of my friends I chat to on weekday afternoon.
Next friend I chat to, I delivered some green beans, he must have still been in bed as he didn't answer the door, just left them in a bag on his door handle.
Back home.
Coffee time.
I started catching up with the blog posts.
Hubby sorted out the freezers.
Break time for lunch.
Back to catch up with the blog post.
I listened to Ken Bruce's secret 60s.
Gene Pitney came on and the Marc Almond picture as well!
The chicken went into the oven.
Now out to see my parents.
Back home to put the rest of the tea on.
I was surposed to pick up 3 Magic bags this afternoon.
1 shop cancelled my order this morning.
Then surprise, surprise, the second shop cancelled both orders just an hour before I was to pick them up!
I won't bother on a Sunday in future!
Older son came over for a visit and tea.
 Tea was lovely.
Carried on watching the 6 part series on 9/11.
Older son starts University later on this month.
