A Picture Might Last Longer!

When I go to a nude beach, i always take a ruler, just in case I have to prove something - Rodney Dangerfield
Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Today is my late mum's 79th Birthday 🎈
I will be around to see her with her balloons!
Breakfast and Brew.
Dressed.
(I had to add the sexy lumo trousers as rain is forcasted this morning)
Time to leave the house.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.
I put on my winter hat, winter coat and waterproof boots.
I walk down to put on my lights.
I fetch my newspaper on the way back up.
Swaps my newspaper for my big stick.
Then to turn on my other lights.
Let's go to work...🍭
Torrid rain starts.
Lots of parents are using their cars and not me!
One parent kept looking forward and didn't see me walking across the road!
Car drivers still stopping in the Keep Clear space.
Last minute torrid rain just before I finished.
Dropped big stick in Sexy Beast before I went to collect my balloons. 
I collected my 7 & 9 balloons.
As soon I collected them.
3 people asked "who are the balloons were for?
"My mum's grave."
Two of my friends who I see in the afternoon, were going on the X19 to Stratford.
"Don't spend too much!" I said to them as they hopped on the bus.
Puts the balloons in Sexy Beast. 
Off to see my parents.
There was a black Jaguar f pace parked on the bend in the graveyard.
I couldn't overtake it on the grass as there were rocks put there for the exact reason!
He finally looked in his wing mirror and drove around in a circle so I park up to put the balloons on.
He parked up where he did before and was watching me fix the balloons on my parent's grave.
The wind wasn't helping!
The Jag man then slowly drove past me,
If he wants a picture, he only has to ask! 
Back home I go.
Bread maker comes out...
Cup of coffee is needed.
I write yesterday's blog post up to 
Liquid lunch.
Bread is ready as well!
Has a chat with hubby while he is on his lunch break.
Then it time to go and do the afternoon shift.
On goes the winter coat, winter hat 
&
Big Big sunglasses.
My friend and I turn on my lights.
Then we head off to the Charity Shop.
What was a bit spooky, the front door kept opening twice, with no one there.
(I reckon that was my late mum seeing what I was buying)
I bought some bargains.
Said goodbye to everyone.
Turned on my lights and back to Sexy Beast to get my big stick.
Then off to the square with my other 3 friends for a little rabbit.
My two friends had a good time in Stratford this morning. Had their afternoon tea and picked up some bargains.
It was time to start my shift.
I thanked them for coming.
Low lying sun alert!
One car went under my stick again.
BOING!
One yellow van parked on the pavement so I had trouble looking down the road. One woman car driver who had a bad trout mouth tried to park right in front of me on the double yellow lines until I shot her a look.
She ended up parking in Village Hall exit.
At least I finished in one piece!
Back home I go.
Cup of brew is needed.
Tumble drier was put on.
Wrote another blog post from the weekend just gone.
Fried up the lovely steaks and put them in the oven.
Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet one 💋
We had a steak tea.
Yum!
Looked at today's newspaper.
Then we watched the last episode of:
We caught up with the news and newspaper review.
Sleep Tea Time.
Off to a warm bed with warm hands.

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.
