Wow, Another Limbo Dancer!

 Progress is the exchange of one nuisance for another
 - Havelock Ellis 
Welcome to the Hump of the Week 🐫
The clocks are going back on Sunday.
Then it will be getting dark nights.... 
Breakfast and Brew.
No need for those sexy lumo trousers.
Dressed.
Now out of the house.
Younger son leaves the same time for work.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.
On goes the winter coat and summer hat.
I go and turn on my lights and collect the newspaper on the way up.
Swaps the newspaper for my big stick.
Turned on my other lights.
Oh dear it's going to be one of those days again.
 Some of the driving was shocking.
One car slammed the brakes that hard to stop, I surprised the back of her car didn't rise up.
Cars were just ignoring me and carrying on driving especially on the otherside.
Someone left a bottle of something↓
Gave out 4 BOINGs for not stopping.
Finished in one piece.
I took off the Winter Coat and Summer hat, and went into the Village Hall to talk about last night's meeting.
Now back home.
I put the 3 green recycling bins out, ready for tomorrow.
Answered emails.
Coffee time.
Added two more teddies to the big bag that is going down to the Charity Shop later.
Loaded up the dishwasher.
Liquid lunch time.
I talked to hubby on his lunch break.
Now out to do the afternoon shift.
More Bond to sing along with....
On goes the winter coat, summer hat,
&
Big big sunglasses.
I turn on one set of lights.
My friend and I , armed with a big bag of teddies and two pictures head off down to the Charity Shop.
First time in ages, there wasn't nothing to buy!
I turned on my lights and went off to get my big stick!
I went over to the square to chat with 3 friends.
At least the sun is shining and it's not too cold!
I said goodbye to my friends.
Now to start my afternoon shift.
Oh dear here we go again!
BOINGs being handed out...
One old woman driving a red car, just drove straight under my stick, that close, I could have removed her car ariel!
She didn't even blink when she drove past me!
My other friend appeared just before I finished in one piece.
He visited the charity shop, I went to last Monday.
Just like a Aladdin's Cave.
He bought a cabinet for his bedroom and 8 Dvds.
His sister bought a magazine rack. 
I said goodbye to him and hopefully will see him tomorrow, as I break up for half term!
More Bond on the way back home.
Nice bit of creamy coffee.
I put the tea in the oven.
Wrote yesterday's blog post.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 when he got home.
He picked up a Morrison's magic bag on the way home.
Lovely :)
Dished  up the tea.
Yum!
I looked into today's newspaper.
Now to watch the remaining two episodes about John Gotti:
Then we caught up with the news and newspaper review.
Sleep Tea Time.
Final day at work tomorrow....
let's hope it's not a bad as today!

Summer Holiday Part Two!

I don't have ulcers. I give them - Harry Cohn
Welcome to the Hump of the Week 🐫
Breakfast and Brew.
Dressed.
Packed more things ready for the holiday.
Coffee time.
Done some last minute housework.
Early lunch.
Someone came from the Councils to have a look at our draughty windows.
The windows needed replacing he said.
After he went.
We loaded up the car.
Off we go...
Onto the motorway we go.
We have a break half way to the hotel.
Funny Private Eye Front Cover↓
Booze a bit expensive↓↓
Nibble time.
Back on the motorway...
Another stop....
Back onto the motorway...
We finally find the hotel we are stopping for one night. No signposts for it!
When we check in, she said our card was declined. We paid again......
Off to our room.
We had our tea.
Now to go and have explore.
The owner of the dog didn't read the signs to keep your dog on a lead, it was chasing the ducks back into the lake, with the owner looking on his phone!
Back to the hotel for a drink.
While we were enjoying our drinks.
One guest was having a go at the manager for knocking on his door, asking for payment for the room. The guest has asked a member of staff when he booked in, that he could pay on his leaving day. He wasn't going to pay  and stormed off to his room.
We left to our room.
We found out that we had paid twice for our room. Our card hadn't been declined at all!
Going to sort this out tomorrow before we leave!
Now to test out the bed!
