First Bit Of Snow!

 "Just because I cannot see it, doesn't mean I can't believe it!" —Jack Skellington
Welcome to our snowy Sunday ⛄
The plan to go to Stratford was cancelled.
As Warwickshire had a large dump of snow.
The snow stopped at the border as we had a sprinkle!
At least it wasn't like 12 years ago when we had a dump of 20 cms of snow↓↓↓
Breakfast and Brew time.
Gets dressed.
(Including the thermal vest)
Cup of coffee needed to keep warm!
The Soup maker goes on...
I got a Me To You Bear delivered to me!
Woo Hoo :)
Now to try out that soup I made....
I start updating the blog.
Hubby starts on the tea.
He goes up for a shower while the tea is cooking in the oven.
I finished blogging just in time!
Tea is ready.
Yum!
Afterwards we did today's Heardles.
Heardle 60s.
My answers:
I looked into today's newspaper:

I made full use of the heating being on, by having a hot shower.
Once that heating went off,
Under that 16 tog duvet we went!
Back onto the Wobbly Work Wheel tomorrow 🎡

 Welcome to my Saturday 😰
Day 4 of suffering from Covid 19.
I didn't sleep very well at all!
Coughing, nose running, burning sore throat.
Up at 3.30am wanting a brew!
Finally got back to sleep.
I listened to "The Sound of the 60's" in bed.
UK Top 3 from 1963

I had breakfast and brew with a well covered up hubby. No sloppy wet kiss or warm hug yet!
I went back to bed while hubby dropped one son at work and went to the Co-op. My letters to my Prison Pen Pals couldn't be posted as the Post Office was shut today.
(Try on Monday now)
When he came back, he treated me to crumpets with coffee!
Now it was time to rise after those nice crumpets and coffee!
Thermal vest went on.
Time for Vitamin D time in the garden.
We tired some of the garden, and enjoyed sitting in the front garden enjoying the sun's rays!
On went the soup maker.
Late lunch.
Soon afterwards I fell asleep!
Hubby picked up son from his workplace.
Plus got some rubble bags to take the garden waste to the tip tomorrow.
I got on with writing my blog entry from yesterday.
I had the result from my PCR I took.
POSTIVE! 
Everyone else's were negative!
At least I haven't lost my taste or smell.
Totally enjoyed my tea...
Yum Yum!
Afterwards we had one more episode of the second season of "FAME" to watch.

Never The White Way!

I have found that if you love life, life will love you back -
Arthur Rubinstein 
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Nice big hug to start Hump Day with!
Brew and breakfast.
Thermal vest goes on too!
Now to uncover Sexy Beast.... 
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one when I leave.
I only put on one winter hat, with lightweight gloves.
While I was waiting to turn on my lights.
Hubby went past in his car, and waved.
The traffic was utter chaos where he normally goes to work.
I turned on my lights,
Now for the fun to start 🍭
Oh dear...
One grey car over the road, decided that the pavement was his new parking space!
I put my big stick out in front of me,
A white mini drives straight under it!
Cars on the otherside just drive through,
Narrowly missing my stick.
One van with trailer was so lucky not to have a tap and crack on his windscreen.
Only for this van to try and park in the square opposite, back and forward it went, I told the parents to go the other way, as they could get hit by it.
Then a small white van parks behind the grey car.
Making it hard for people with pushchairs to get past it. Even someone with a guide dog found it difficult to get past.
So much traffic this morning!
I was having trouble with white coloured vans and cars this morning!
I finished in one piece.
I travelled down to the Co-op.
There was so much traffic on the way!
I looked over to see how far the queue of traffic started from...
Then I heard the sirens of an Ambulance trying to get past the queue of traffic.
I done my shopping.
Picked up the newspaper and my neighbour's magazine.
On goes the coffee machine.
So does the soup maker.
Coffee time.
Soup was done.
Having emails from Dunelm.
Having a full refund...
&
£30 gift card for all the trouble I have been through!
Pan fried the chicken, 
&
All the vegetables for tonight's tea.
Once cooked,
Put in the oven for later!
Light lunch time! 
Off to do the afternoon shift.
One winter hat, and lightweight gloves.
Puts on lights.
Now for a little rabbit with friends..
At least the car and van moved!
I said goodbye to my friends.
Now for the fun to start 🍭
My big stick was out in front,
One small white car didn't want to stop, and done the limbo dance straight under my stick!
Cars are the otherside were ignoring me and kept going!
Then I have a van park on the pavement blocking my view!
The silver car on the left had parked further back, until a big lorry couldn't get past it, and it had a big blast of air horns!
I was glad I finished in one piece!
Hometime
Oven goes on.
Now for much needed cup of brew!
Put the egg noodles in the pan.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet kiss when he comes back.
Tea is served.
Yum.
Now to look in today's newspaper.
