Lovely Sunny Hump!

It's the good girls keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time - Tallulah Bankhead
Welcome to my Hump of Week 🐫
The sun is up and out 🌞
Breakfast and Brew.
The sun might be out, but it was still chilly.
The thermal vest still came out!
As well as the white dress with black spots!
Now to leave the house...
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 😘
It was just about warm enough to wear my Summer coat with my summer hat.
Even the big big sunglasses went on! 
I went down the road to turn on my lights.
They didn't have the i newspaper delivered.
I walked back to Sexy Beast to collect my big stick.
Goes and puts on my other lights.
Let's go to work 🍭
Oh dear back to normal.
One car drove straight around my stick that was out in front of me!
I need a 8ft stick as 6ft stick is too small!
Cars not stopping over the otherside of the road.
Plenty of BOINGs given out on my side of the road not stopping.
At least I survived in one piece!
Now to visit the Co-op to get my newspaper and bits!
I got chatting to a relation of my other "husband".
Told her about the watch he bought over the weekend.
I said it was nice to have a catch up!.
Back  home I go.
Put the shopping away.
While the coffee machine was making the coffee.
I emptied all the bins in the house.
Put our black bin out.
Unloaded and loaded up the dishwasher.
Coffee time!
Sorted out the photos for yesterday's blog post up to lunch.
Liquid lunch time.
Now out to do the afternoon shift.
On goes the summer coat, summer hat.
It is still a bit windy, which doesn't help with the dress I'm wearing ;)
I go and turn on both sets of lights.
Has a quick look in the Charity Shop.
I get some nice nail polish....
Now to have a much needed Boost!
I collects my big stick and go off to the square to have a rabbit with my friends in the sunshine!
When it was ready for me to start my shift.
I said goodbye to everyone.
Oh dear,it's carrying on from this morning.
Car drivers refusing to stop on the otherside of the road.
I slammed the stick down on the ground, then the brakes got pressed very quickly.
One car driver behind me was revving his engine as I was in the middle of the road!
I survived this time!
Back home I go.
I had my Amazon delivery arrive.
Time for a brew!
Writes yesterday's blog post while keeping an eye on the tea.
Hubby comes back and has a sloppy wet one 😘
Tea is dished up and it was gone before I too a photo off it. Oops!
Now to look into today's newspaper.
Heardle Time.
Heardle 50s:
Heardle 60s:
My answers:
We caught up on the news.
There is the Council Elections tomorrow.
My older son is going to try be a Councillor.
If he does, there will be two Councillors in this house \o/
