Bad Winds, Bad Drivers, & Shiny Sequins!

 "Where's your Christmas spirit?"

"I drank it!" - Jack Benny and Phil Harris.

December

Welcome to my December. 

 Time for the sequins to come out again ;)

1: Warm Space:

2:Body Camera and low lying sun problems:

I have now got a body camera over Christmas.

My Supervisor wore it, and the very first time she walked in the road, she nearly got run over. The low lying sun blocked the license plate of the offending car. Week later, someone tried to run me over while I was in the middle of the road. This time, I got the offending license plate to report them to the Police!

3:Storm Darragh

We were going to see Human League in concert on the 7th December and stop overnight in a nice hotel in Birmingham. Due to the storm arriving, a tree blocked the train track and we couldn't leave Redditch. Walked back home with our suit cases in the heavy rain and wind, our front garden took the brunt of the storm!

4: Making Christmas Decorations in Droitwich.

5: Sequins, and Warm Space.

Christmas Themed Warm Space.↓

Lots of presents of the children and parents↑

It rained on my final afternoon of December ;(

7: Christmas Party

Sequin time! 

8: Visiting parents with wreaths.

9:Christmas Day.

I was nice to have our children stop over for Christmas :)

10: Visited Stratford upon Avon 

11: Betty the Gerbil enjoying some Turkish Box of Delights

12: I got my crucial haircut before New Year's Eve.

The hairdresser normally only cuts men's hair. So it was the first time he attempted to cut lady's hair. Nice short back and sides.

He did a really good job :)

14: Stopping up to watch the fireworks..

We didn't to toast in the New Year, as we were catching a train very early on New Year's Day! 

Happy New Year to you all 🎆🎇

 

 

Rainbow Hump!

He lies like a cheap carpet - Anon

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Breakfast and Brew

Dressed.

Now to leave the house..

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋

Just as I parked up, there was a huge rainbow.

Parked Sexy Beast.

On goes the winter coat and winter hat.

Turns on my lights.

Gets my newspaper.

Swaps the newspaper for my big stick.

Off to turn on my other lights.

Off to my spot...🍭

I had to give out one BOING as it went straight under my raised stick.

Terrible last minute brakers didn't help the situation.

Finished in one piece.

Back home I go.

Cup of coffee needed...

Now to make some Millionaire's Shortbread.

Made the shortbread first.

Once cooled down, I added the caramal.

Let that cool right down.

Then put it on the top of the fridge to set.

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Hung the wreath up on the Craft Door

Liquid lunch time.

Had a chat with hubby on his lunchbreak.

Now time to go and do my afternoon shift.

I popped into see the Council.

I came out and went over to see my friend who was sitting in her car.

I opened her driver's door and saw the food I gave her in the footwell behind her driver's seat.

"They are replacements for the food you gave me!"

Where did she get the Amazon pasta and Amazon branded tin of chopped tomatoes from?

I wish she just admitted to not using the food.

I got my winter coat and winter hat on.

I turned on my lights and walked down to the Charity Shop.

Nothing to buy, said goodbye to the staff.

Turned on my other lights and went to fetch my big stick from Sexy Beast.

Back to the square for a rabbit.

I thanked everyone for coming.

Let's get the afternoon shift done!

The low lying sun kept making appearence, cars were having to stop at the last minute.

Also stopping in the Keep Clear space doesn't help!

Finished in one piece.

Back home.

Put the chocolate on top of the caramel, and put it in the fridge to set.

Cup of brew time.

Got the tea ready.

Hubby came back and had a sloppy wet one 💋

Tea is served.

Yum.

Watched the Planning Meeting from Stratford upon Council on You Tube.

If you want to watch the whole meeting↓↓

Speaking of Planning, I have my own Planning meeting next week.

After meeting finished.

Checked my Millionaire's Shortbread.

Read today's newspaper.

We watched last night's Headliners programme.

Sleep Tea time.

Not long to do go for the Christmas Turn on...
