Should I Get Another One?

Two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse -

Thomas Szasz

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he went to work.

Dressed.

I watered all the plants out the front.

Kids got up.

We have to drop off some Birthday cards and presents this morning...

But before all that...

Coffee time!

Now out we go...

I got our newspaper and next door's magazine.

Now to see Joe.

Coffee and nibble...

Wished him a happy Birthday for tomorrow.

Next another Birthday card drop off.

Had a quick catch up,

Hopefully have a coffee date this month.

Then off to Lidl's.

Nice remote car...

Loads of sewing machines for sale.

Should I get another one to add to the other 4 I have already got????

I paid for the shopping when son noticed their were some Wobbly boxes.

He grabbed two and went off to pay for them.

Loaded them up into the boot of Sexy Beast.

Back home.

Lunch

Then off for more fresh air around the pond.

The ducks weren't hungry, the fish ate most of it!

Back home to carry on blogging...

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Then two from last week.

Hubby came home for a wet sloppy 💋.

Tea is served.

We watched two episodes of Uk Grand Designs.

I was looking into getting a Pagoda for the front garden.

The way it looks, if I get one, it will be put up by December!

Quick look in today's newpaper.

Handcuffs & Babyoil Part 2

The weekend is finally here \o/

I was up early to listen to

" The Sounds of the 60s"

Had a early breakfast...

Once everyone was up....

A little ride out....

Long way down...↓↓↓

It stopped raining.

We went to the Bandstand to celebrate
the life of Emmeline Pankhurst

Our Redditch MP and Redditch Mayor was there.

They all disappeared to have their photo took.

I waited for them to come back.

We sat on the bench to carrying on listening.

I got chatting to a ex-worker from my time at Fawlty Towers....

Our water Fountain on the Church Green.

While everyone was taking photos, we went to the cafe. Sat on the leather settee, to enjoy a coffee, and waited for everyone to arrive.

I chatted to the MP again.

I even got two dvds for 50p

Walked back to the Library..

A really nice went past me :)

Chatted with a ex-postie.

A couple sat opposite me.

I recognised the man as my older's son's real Granddad from Kings Norton with his second wife sat with him.

(I haven't spoke to him since 1993 when he chased me around his drive with a hammer, then my boyfriend and his dad was trying to strangle each other on the drive)

The Grandfather is looking more like his son everytime I see him...

Arrived back home before the rain started again...
