Welcome to my Saturday ⌛

I didn't get up early today like any other Saturday, when I wake up at 6am!

I will catch up with Sounds of the 60s during the week on catch up.

Nice to have a warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Hubby is having his flu jab this morning.

Now to leave the house

Making the most of the nice weather!

The scandals come out!

First we drop off son at his work place.

Then onto town we go.

We parks in Car Park 4, as 

Car Park 7 has been knocked down!

Onto Boots for hubby's flu jab.

Once that was done, we bought the newspaper and a coffee to go.

Back home to start back on emptying the loft.

We had lunch halfway through sorting through boxes. There is a nice big pile to go to the tip tomorrow morning.

Hubby done one trip to the Storage unit with son.

When he got back, we had tea.

Then it's on the search for hubby to get some Diesel for his car.

We managed to get some from Morrisons.Then the queues started to form.

I got my first Magic Bags of the evening from Morrisons in Astwood Bank.

The staff in the Petrol Station had not experienced the demand for petrol before.

They had run out of diesel and running low on unleaded.

Told them to write a funny message and leave it out for the car drivers when they run out of unleaded!

Then onto M&S which is also a Petrol Station.

They had run out of fuel except food.

I got my Magic Bag.

Moved onto Waitrose on the motorway services.

Not a lot of queues at that petrol station.

Got my Magic Bag.

Now back home to unpack them all!

Then we watched...

Then I looked into today's newspaper.

His stage name is the Italian word for "sugar", as his elementary teacher used to call him.

Welcome to my Saturday 📦📦📦

Nice hug with brew.

Breakfast.

One son up ready for work.

Dressed.

Now out of the house we go.

Before he goes into work, we nip into a Second hand shop to look for a wooden cane.

Gets one, and it's free!

Then onto Argos to get more storage boxes.

Then onto the Storage place.

First storage room was 35 sq feet.

"Too small,"I said closing the door.

Next was 70 sq feet.

I scoffed at that...

"Too small!"

Next was 100 sq feet.

I got it for the price of 80 sq foot.

(I have a filling it's going to be too small, we shall see!)

Now to get the newspaper with a bit of nibble to tide us over....

Bacon with black pudding......

YUM YUM!

Once we finished that.

Nice to trip to Bromsgrove Argos....

To get more Storage boxes...

It was like pulling teeth, waiting to be served.

Finally got my storage boxes!

We nipped into one charity shop.

We got the first 3 series of 

Then to get a padlock.

Now back home to start on the loft!

Two piles to start with.

Tip or Storage.

Hubby done one trip to the Storage unit.

When he came back,

I went to pick up son from his job.

This is where is gets interesting.

One boy racer in his white Skoda Fabia, didn't want to get stuck behind me driving a red Skoda Fabia.....

We were at the traffic lights together in a nice line.

Green light, off I went, little boy didn't like that!

Down went the lead foot, overtook me in his lane, then crossed back into my lane at the roundabout.

Then I was behind him all the way to my son's workplace, shaking my head and singing along.

Picked son, and back home we went.

Hubby filled up his car.

Then for a cold drink..

As it was getting well warm!

Back home to load up car for another trip to the Storage unit....

That is after two car loads.

When hubby came back, 

Time for a much needed light tea.

I even found a good book to read that came from the loft.

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Then it was time to watch the big film.....

Quick look into today's newspaper.

His string of crossover singles ranked highly on the Billboard Pop Singles, Hot Country and Western Sides, and Hot Rhythm and Blues Sides charts; in the 1960s, Rodgers had more modest successes with adult contemporary music.  

He would have been 88 years old 🎈

Sleep Tea time.

Now off to bed as more clearing of the loft tomorrow!
