Welcome to my Sunday 💓

I went downstairs to put the washing on the line.

Made the first cup of brew.

Heardle Time.

Heardle 60s:

My son's answers were:

More brew with breakfast.

Dressed.

Loaded up the car for things for what feels like our second home at the moment!

Got a free coffee to go.

Nipped into Dunelm for a few bits...↓

Now to drop it round...↓

Opened all the windows.

The back garden looks a lot better.

Now to sort inside.

Time for a little Sunday Boost↓

Nice addition to the bathroom↓

We found the Talking Pictures t-shirt, hubby had bought his late dad in 2020 for Father's Day.

The Talking Pictures hat went in the coffin.

Still can't find the calender....

Back home for a much needed tea.

Veggie Tea.

Quick look into today's newspaper.

Blood Bath!

If you want to get rid of somebody, just tell them something for their own good - Kin Hubbard.

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪
Warm hug with a brew.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

I got the kids up for their on-line learning.

Hubby was working from home today.

I had to go for a little ride out...

I got the newspaper.

Then carried onto Morrisons.

I did the top up shopping.

I went to get a takeaway coffee,

the till stopped working....

I got a free coffee as the till was taking a lot time to load up!

Back home...

It is starting to get warmer!

Now to start the lemon meringue.

I got the pastry baked.

Now to grate the lemons...

Oh dear...

Let the bloodbath start!

The grater was so sharp it took several layers of skin off my right thumb.

Blood everywhere, I even changed to a cheese grater, the blood wouldn't stop!

I getting worried after 10 minutes, as it wouldn't stop bleeding!

15 minutes it finally stopped!

Washed everything that was covered in my lovely red blood!

Did the filling, followed by the Meringue.

I was glad for lunch!

My Valentine's order arrived.

More nice material arrived to make more facemasks with.

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Then it was Tea at 3.

Then a quick read of today's newspaper.
