The Lollypop Goes Into Storage!

Welcome to my Breaking Up From Work Thursday 🍭

Breakfast and Brew.

Dressed, with those sexy lumo trousers.

Out of the house I go.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I left.

The gates to the Village Hall were locked.

I parked in the nearby car park.

Got my winter coat and summer coat on.

&

Waterproof boots.

Off I went to turn on my light and collect my newspaper on the way back.

Swapped my newspaper for my big stick.

Go and turn on my lights.

Last morning shift of the week \o/

Let's hope it is better than yesterday!

Oh dear, I was wrong!

One woman car driver assumed the traffic in front of her would keep going. They all stopped, and she stopped in the Keep Clear space!

I had to walk in front of her car to cross the kids over. She did say sorry!

The X19 bus had to slam its brakes on or it would have hit my big stick via its windscreen!

Our daily parker parked on the double yellow lines again.

The rain held off until the last 25 minutes of my shift.

Finished in one piece.

Back home I go.

Time for a much needed coffee.

Unloaded the dishwasher.

Wrote yesterday's blog post.

Got in the recycling bins.

Liquid lunch time.

I had a chat with hubby on his lunch break.

Then to do the final shift of the week.

More Bond to listen to....

On goes the winter coat and summer hat.

&

Big big sunglasses.

I put my lights on and carried on down the road.

Sat down, waiting for my friend to received sandwich.

Then I bumped into a good friend who was telling me on her future plans....

(I waved to a fellow Councillor who was sat in his car, looking at me!)

I got to see a friend who is having Chemo at the moment and is having a bad time with it.

(I later learned that someone who went to the same Gingerbread club in the late 1990s, and dated one of my ex-boyfriends was sat at the back of the coffee shop, starring at me!)

Nice display at the front of the flower shop.

Off to the Charity Shop I go.

Great film I found.

I got some more bargains.

I said goodbye to everyone and went to turn on my lights.

I swapped my bargains for my big stick.

Went to the square for a little rabbit...

I wished my friend a good Half Term Holiday.

I was enjoying the rays....

I started my final shift of the week.

The low lying sun was causing a few problems.

At least the cars were stopping on my side of the road.

My other friend appeared at the end of my shift.

He had been to the Aladdin's Cave again,

Where I went last Monday.

He bought yet more stuff from there!

We arranged to meet up next week for a yak, coffee and visit of the Charity shop.

Wished him a good weekend.

Off home I go.

With some more Bond to sing along with.

Empty Sexy Beast of everything to do with the Lollipop 🍭

More goodies for free I had given to me↓

My Charity shop bargains↓↓

Added the air freshner to Sexy Beast.

Cup of brew time.

Put the tea on.

Hubby came home and sloppy wet one 💋

We had a nice Pasta Tea.

Looked into today's newspaper.

Caught up with the Hotel Inspector.

Then with the news and newspaper review.

Sleep Tea Time.

Friday Feeling is back tomorrow \o/

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Last One Of 2022!

Welcome to my Friday Feeling 🎈

We got up early, it still being cold, 

We did today Heardles:

Heardle 60s:

My answers:

Time for breakfast and brew.

Thermal vest and layers went on.

Now to uncover the Sexy Beast. 

Still freezing cold!

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋💋

Trying to park Sexy Beast was fun.

The normal car park wasn't open, there was one parking space left in the car park opposite. One car was trying to reverse out, so I did a 3 point turn to let her out, so then I went back up the road and did another 3 point turn to come back down the road, however she parked on the side of the road with her back door of the her car open and I couldn't get past it!

She begrudgingly shut the back door for me to past!

I parked up, got on my Winter coat, gloves and two hats and went to get my newspaper!

Comes back and the gates to the car park are open.

Moves Sexy Beast into the car park. 

I picks up my big stick and goes and turns on my lights.

Turns on my lights.

Now let's get to work...

Here we go again.

The first child I tried to cross the road, the car drove straight under my stick.

Boing for him.

The following van tried to tell me with his hands for me to take my big stick out of the way of his van!

Boing he had for that as well.

Lots of tanks as well!

On a postive note, I was given lots of presents, cards and kind words.

Lots of last minute braking to cope with!

At least I finshed in one piece!

Back to Sexy Beast I go. 

Back home I go.

The coffee machine has given up the ghost :(

Back to normal coffee for now :(

Soup maker goes on.

I write one blog post up until the light lunch.

Now to do the last day of work!

On goes the Winter coat, winter gloves and two hats.

Oh dear, we have the low lying sun back again.

Turns on my lights.

Chats with one friend. My other friend arrived 10 minutes later.

Rabbit time.

I wished my friends a Happy Christmas and Happy New Year.

Now to survive the low lying sun.

Told one parent to be careful not fall over the bag of presents that was at the top of the stairs.

They said, "I was special!"

One white car just drove under my stick at 5 m.p.h!

BOING!

One BMW driver on the otherside just looked at me as it drove straight under my stick!

BOING!

One nice parent gave me a present and thanked me for doing a good job :)

I wished the parents and children a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year!

Finished in one piece.

Goes back to Sexy Beast. 

For the last time 2022.

Back home.

Now to sort out my presents.

I put them with my other presents that need to be wrapped up.

Time for a brew.

Hubby came back and had a sloppy wet one 💋

We had a light tea.
