Getting Them Warmed Up!!

If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them - Isaac Asimov

Welcome Back to the much missed Friday Feeling 🎈

After so much fun I have had this week,

I'm hoping I have a good Friday 🎈

Brew and Hug.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

We left it too late for our walk.

(We will do one later)

Out into Sexy Beast.

Back home.

I give hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he goes to work.

The kids didn't escape from me for their 💋💋

Quick look in the newspaper

I got invited out for coffee before work...

"Yes please".

I replied to the invite!

A little bit of singing on the way..

The sun is really bright↓

Now for coffee, yak and chocolate biscuits!

I thanked my friend for the coffee...

Now to get to work with some singing-a-long

I looked over the fields of fun...

I made some people laugh...

(Made my day that did!)

Nothing was mentioned about yesterday

(It will be in the near future, I'm sure about that!)

Back to Sexy Beast and the singing...

The sun was still shining except the wind was a bit too strong to sit out in!

Light lunch time↓

I finished writing yesterday's blog post.

Now to look in the freezer for something for tea tonight....

Found something.

Belated Tea at 3.

I put the tea in the oven.

Gave hubby a big wet 💋

Back to do the daily walk we miss this morning...

Plenty to talk about on this walk...

Another 0.71miles to add to the total this week!

Tea is ready↓

Now to burn it off ....

Last visit of the week to work.

Big tune to start with↓

I was glad I built a sweat up,

As it was freezing cold when I got home.

We treated ourselves to 2 episodes of NYPD Blue, from season 10.

Once that fresh duvet cover and throw was put on the bed...

Time to warm up those cold hands!

Let's celebrate, the weekend will be here soon 🎈

Welcome to my Tuesday...

Back to doing all of my jobs...

I gave everyone sloppy 💋💋💋 when they all left the house.

Meanwhile I enjoyed my first coffee of the day with nibble↓

After doing the chore.

I had a nice early lunch↓

Back on the wobbly work wheel 🎡

It's getting warm↗↗↗↗

Better put on those big big sunglasses🕶

I follow a 19 reg Range Rover all the way to work. The driver must think he owns the whole road, as he was crossing over to the otherside of the road a lot of the time!

Quick look at the newspaper↓

Now to open the school ready for lunch↓

Blue skies are coming

Got my hat and apron ready

I have had better dinnertimes.

I put this one down,

as the worst one so far out of 2 years!

Only 8 school days left!

I had a 18 reg Range Rover now following me from work. It did try to keep up!

By the time I got back home,

I was soaked to the skin in sweat.

I jumped into the shower to cool off!

I even had a lovely long ice lolly...

Off to do another job.

I came back with a nice shiny red face again.

What's better to get rid of a bad mood!

Play with Henry..

I had a nice big warm hug off hubby when he came back.

Once he put the tea on,

I finally finished the bathroom!

After tea,

Final job of the day.

Carrying on where I left off with some lovely music..

When I got back,

I looked at the weather for tomorrow...

It's going to be a sweaty Hump Day🐫

On the postive side...

The washing will dry quicker ;)
