Writing, Spinning, & Need Of A Strong Coffee!

Everything takes longer than it should except sex - Murphy's Law

Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Nice warm hug to start Monday with!

Brew with breakfast.

Thermal vest goes on.

Sexy Beast looks like a need a scrape.

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one before I leave.

The sun might be coming up.

It's still freezing!

On goes 2 winter hats and the big big gloves.

I put on my lights.

Now to see how many tanks I can spot this morning...

Only saw two, is better than what I normally see...

Nice the normal white car on the otherside doesn't stop for me, she might be running out of luck soon!

Still had to do a few more BOINGs!

At least I finished in one piece!

I picks up the newspaper on the way home.

Puts on the coffee maker.

Chops some veggies and put on the soup maker.

Coffee time.

While I had some spare time.

Time to reply to the American Prison Pen Pal who sent me 2 letters last week.

I wrote him 6 pages.

That should keep him happy :)

The soup was ready to dish up.

I had a Labour leaflet pushed through the door.

Didn't knock the door.

Only hear the Councillors when they want to be re-electioned! 

Dished up my soup.

Chicken,Leak,and Parsnip.

My new arier arrived.

I got in touch with Dunelm for my refund.

It is now been SIX  weeks since I put the order in. Waiting 3 weeks, and then cancelled it.

Now the excuses pile up:

1: The Manager at my local store hasn't received my order to give me a refund.

2: The IT department are working on it to find my order.

3: Today's excuse, is the only member of their IT team is now on ANNUAL LEAVE and I have to wait for them to come back!

I got sick of this utter crap and wrote a email to their CEO. If I don't hear nothing from him, I will go further up the food chain! 

Now off to do my afternoon shift.

Next door's carers had to move their car again.

On goes one winter hat and lightweight gloves.

I got talking to my friend who has had his hand op the other week. He had come back from Stratford upon Avon on the bus and dropped his earing aid. He was just on the way to the bus stop when I got chatting.

I told his wife, "Since I have been wearing a facemask, I can't wear earrings, as they don't stop long in my ear lobes!"

Puts on my lights.

Now for a little rabbit with my friends.

The sun kept appearing from behind the clouds.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Now to have some fun 🍭

Oh dear, had 3 straight cars go under my stick.

BOING x 3

Some cars on the underside had to stop very quick!

At least I finished in one piece!

Hometime

Now to get changed into the pink lyrca!

I watched the last of The Irishman while doing my spinning.

Then onto the abs machine...

(I'm going to hurt tomorrow!)

Cools down.

Now to make the Meat Free Stir Fry.

Yum.

Out comes the Breadmaker.

I can't find my lovely Breadmaking book.

So from memory in it all goes...

On for 4 hours!

Now to look in today's newspaper.

Matt Monro (born Terence Edward Parsons, ) was an English singer who became one of the most popular entertainers on the international music scene during the 1950s and 1970s. Known as The Man with the Golden Voice, he filled cabarets, nightclubs, music halls, and stadiums around the world in his 30-year career. AllMusic has described Monro as "one of the most underrated pop vocalists of the '60s", who "possessed the easiest, most perfect baritone in the business". His recordings include the UK Top 10 hits: "Portrait of My Love", "My Kind of Girl", "Softly As I Leave You", "Walk Away" and "Yesterday" (originally by The Beatles). He also recorded several film themes such as "From Russia with Love" for the James Bond film of the same name, "Born Free" for the film of the same name and "On Days Like These" for The Italian Job. 

He died on this day in 1985 aged 54. 

"Reach Out I'll Be There' by The Four Tops, released by Tamla Motown in 1966.

USA No.1 on this day in 1976: 

Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

'Wuthering Heights' by Kate Bush, released by EMI in 1978.

Now for some Sleep Tea.

The bread came out alright!

Found my good Bread Maker book as well.

Hubby's team came back from 2-0 down to 2-2.

Even though Hubby lost his match on the pink.

I climbed into that warm bed...and fell off to sleep like a log!

Covid-19 Booster Jabs were been given out in the hall. So I parked around the corner.

I put on my lights...

Now let's go to work....🍭

I was well warm under my coat...

Party going on under it!

The sun was out, blue skies...

And I forgot to put on my big big sunglasses..

Some car drivers were in a rush on the opposite side of the road not to stop.

One woman in a red car just looked at me as she drove past!

I survived the Monday morning \o/

Followed a Land Rover Discovery to the island.

It didn't stop, and barged itself around the island nearly crashing into another car coming round!

I nipped into Wickes for my order.

Then I collected my newspaper.

Back home...

The coffee machine goes on.

I get changed into my exercise gear.

Now a bit of rowing for a Monday!

Now to write yesterday's blog post.

All the way to lunch!

Now for part 2.

Get's stuck behind a Cement Mixer lorry for the whole journey to work doing about 25 m.p.h.

Parks around the corner.

One winter hat and a pair of gloves.

Turns on my lights.

Oh dear the low lying sun...

I has a good rabbit with my two friends.

I say goodbye to them.

Right here we go on round 2.

One big car parked in the Keep Clear on the otherside of the road.

The parents and children couldn't get to the pavement she was parked in the way.She was given lots of death stares by the parents until she managed to move forward!

I finished in one piece.

I put my lollystick in Sexy Beast.

I had a parent in the car next door watching me doing it, and then said to me when she got out the car,

"We wondered how you was going to put that stick in your car!"

"There are 3 versions, one full one, one with metal in the middle, or a plastic middle.

I prefer the full one!" I replied.

Back home.

Sexy Beast gets covered up.

Now for a much needed cup of tea!

We had our tea early.

My nice meat free stir fry.

The Tiler came and did a bit more.

He is coming the weekend to finish it off.

Quick look in the today's newspaper.

Tom  Conti  is a Scottish actor, theatre director, and novelist. He won a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play in 1979 for his performance in Whose Life Is It Anyway? and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for the 1983 film Reuben, Reuben. 

He is 80 years old 🎈 

Mae West (born Mary Jane West) was an American stage and film actress, playwright, screenwriter, singer, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned over seven decades. She was known for her breezy sexual independence, and her lighthearted bawdy double entendres, often delivered in 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 problems especially with censorship. She once quipped, "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." She bucked the system by making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her film career ended, she wrote books and plays, and continued to perform in Las Vegas and the United Kingdom, on radio and television, and recorded rock 'n roll albums. In 1999, the American Film Institute posthumously voted West the 15th greatest female screen legend of classic American cinema. 

She died on this day in 1980 aged 87. 

Sleep tea time.

I found a job I was doing earlier in the year been advertised again.

It's gone up by £1!

I sent my CV. I won't get a reply as I am deemed a trouble maker for wanting my emergency tax repaid back to me.They held on to it for two months, after I mentioned ACAS, they repaid it back in the third month!

At least they looked at my CV ;)

Hubby was practising his snooker.

He won 2 and lost 2.

I was sound asleep when he came back...

Night Night
