Hubby and younger son went to do the weekly food shop and next door neighbours.

I meanwhile had some serious housework to do.

Coffee machine goes on.

Took off the throws off the settee, and gave the throws a good shake outside.

Quick coffee...

Tidied up the kitchen and Dining room.

Washing machine went on twice.

I was ready to put the washing out when it decided to rain!

Just got Henry out when hubby came back from the shopping! 

Hubby puts the shopping away, I get on with the hoovering with Henry.

Nice easy lunch afterwards.

Now to put some more flowers on my parent's grave.

Looking well nice.

Back home.

I had a break from writing my blog posts.

We had a look at the last 2 years bank statements of my late Father-in-law.

To find out where the money had gone?

We found some questionable transactions....

1:Three British Gas Bill Paid for..(He was on a meter for his gas and electric)

2: When he received his annual Pension last April 2021, why was £450 of it transferred out and to whom?

3: £113 he paid to NCC Park Smarter, Sutton-in- Ash.

Parking fine

 When he don't drive? 

Pages of pages of things he paid for which doesn't add up...

Back to writing more blog posts.

The kids came back from going to the Irish Night.

I published my 3 blog posts.

I told the Inland Revenue I didn't owe them a penny because I lived by the seaside - Ken Dodd

Welcome to my Monday 👯

Nice hug with brew.

Breakfast.

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

I had a nice hot shower.

Got the kids up.

I had a quick coffee...

Now to do some work around the house.

Dishwasher went on.

Tumble Drier on.

All the recycling went into the green bin.

I added new sealant to the basin in the bathroom.

That done :)

Before I started on the bath.

Fresh air needed.

Out to get the newspaper.

I filled up the bath half full of water.

I took off the old sealant.

However the new sealant didn't work!!!

I used some sealant tape instead.

That looks a lot better! 

Now for a very late lunch!

Then to write 2 blog entries.

The Prodical brother of mine had actually paid a visit to our parents grave over the Christmas period!!!!!

(First time since the funeral last March!)

He put a photo on his FB to prove it↓

He took my wreath off where I had put it.

He also put a picture on, off our late parents on their wedding day in 1968.

  (A postman friend gave me the picture to give my dad.

Now I know who has got it now!)

I am going up again this weekend and hopefully the other brother hasn't messed up the grave like he did last time...

I had run out of time to add the third blog post that covered Valentine's Day.

That will be posted tomorrow! 

I gave hubby a wet sloppy 💋 when he came home.

Meat Free Meal. 

Quick read of the newspaper.

Nathaniel  Coles , known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American singer and jazz pianist. He recorded over 100 songs that became hits on the pop charts. His trio was the model for small jazz ensembles that followed. Cole also acted in films and on television and performed on Broadway. He was the first African-American man to host an American television series. He was the father of singer-songwriter Natalie Cole (1950–2015). 

He died on this day in 1965 aged 45

Time for more:

Sleep Tea time.

Off to bed early to enjoy the warm duvet and hubby!

Welcome to my Saturday🍿

We had a tiny lie-in.

Followed by brew and hug↓

 Breakfast.

Dressed.

Off for a quick ride to town↓

 We parked in Car Park 7

(As Car Park 4 was still closed)

 

  We put on our face masks.

I wore the one I made yesterday.

We get the newspaper from WHSmiths.

Body Shop is now closed in the shopping centre!

I gets two lovely balloons 

(And they are blown up too)

On the way to get a much needed Costa Coffee.

I see a ex-boyfriend sitting down in Costa Coffee.He had took his mask off and I recognised him straight away...

I went out with him in 2000.

He is nicknamed "The Creature" as he put my hamster down the toilet out of spite, when I rewound a video he hadn't finished watching.

When I finished work, I found the poor hamster in the toilet, I carefully gave him a wash, and dried him off. The poor thing sadly died a few days later....I hope Karma visits him after 20 years..... 

I had my mask on, he kept looking at me stood over by the exit, I just turned my head.

We walked back to the car park, to drink our coffee.

 It is still getting warm↓

 I put the new balloons on my parent's grave↓

  My younger brother has bought a bench to sit on opposite their grave↓↓

 We sat on it for a good half an hour.
