Watching Them Flash!

“I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.”

When I got it, out came the material.

I ordered some bits to finish it off.

Now to see what the lights look like outside, now it's dark!

Now a little treat for all the hard work we have done over the weekend!

Everyone then was getting all their things ready for school and work...

I carried on watching Hell's Kitchen...

With my Sleep Tea↓

We caught up with Friday's episode of

Mae West was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades. She was known for her lighthearted, bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence, and often used a husky contralto voice. She was active in vaudeville and on stage in New York City before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film industry.

West was one of the most controversial movie stars of her day; she encountered many problems, especially censorship. She once quipped, "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.She died on this day aged 87 in 1980.

Now to enjoy this Christmas Decorations for nearly 6 weeks!

After this terrible year, it's nice to enjoy something nice!

Out to do final lollipop job of the week..

Low lying sun time↓

The first ten minutes, I nearly took out a windscreen. I had lowered my stick and she was 2 inches away from a smashed windscreen!

Bonus 10 points denied!

One woman saw the incident, and said to me:

"I think you have to walk into moving traffic to get the cars to stop!"

I said to that;"That's one way to ticket to heaven or hell (depending what I am trying to stop!) It the lollipop stick that goes in the road first not me!"

She replied to that:

"The previous lollipop man did it!"

I commented to it:

"He must have had a Death Wish!"

More and more car are failing to stop.

I made it in one piece!

Back home.
