Trying To Keep Moving!

A motorist is a person, after seeing a serious wreck, drives carefully for several blocks - Jane Pickens
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Heardle Time.
Heardle 60s:
My answers:
Brew with Breakfast.
Dressed.
Now to get out early....
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 😘
I have to go the long way round for the time beginning. It doesn't help other car drivers leaving it too late to get in the correct lane!
Finally got to work...
On goes the Winter coat, Summer Hat, and big big sunglasses...
I go and get the newspaper.
Now to fetch my big stick.
A man walked up to me to say sorry for going under my big stick yesterday.
Because of the low lying sun, and no sunglasses he didn't see my big stick in front of him.
I will mark this on the calender as someone saying sorry it is so rare!
I turn on my lights.
Let's see how the morning shift goes...🍭
Lots of cars stopping in the Keep Clear space.
So I have to go behind the car and try to stop the cars on the otherside of the road.
Some cars not even stopping and ignoring my stick!
BOING, BOING and BOING.
The news of two accidents that now have snarled Studley up.
Nothing can come and nothing can leave.
My side of the road was barely moving, and the few cars that was coming up the road, wasn't stopping for me!
More stopping in the Keep Clear space again!
This was going on well after I finished!
I had to go through the back roads, and the really long way home to avoid the jams that was still building.
Instead of the normal 15 mins, it took me 40 mins to get home.
Back home finally!
I put the coffee machine on.
I got my things ready to wear, as I am seeing someone who runs something that gives back to the Community.
Coffee Time.
Empties the recycling.
(Green bin is being emptied tomorrow)
I have a very early liquid lunch...
Just get ready to leave,
Get a text cancelling the meet up!
I then try to fit in writing yesterday's blog post now!
Now to hope I have a better shift than this morning!
Still had to go around the long way.
I got on my winter coat and winter hat.
Turned on my lights.
I grabbed my stick, and went for coffee!
Got chatting to another friend until the friend who I was going for coffee, reminded that time is marching on.
While waiting to give my order.
The Waitress was pouring some wine into a measuring cup, then putting it a wine glass.
I said,"I wouldn't bother with the measuring cup, I would just pour it in the glass!"
She laughed.
I ordered and we sat down and waiting for our coffee and mince pies to arrive.
My other friend arrived to have her mince pie.
Then we went outside for a little bit of rabbit before I started my afternoon shift.
I said "Goodbye" to my friends.
Now to start....
Oh dear, nearly took out a windscreen out in the first ten minutes of starting!
Lots of BOINGs given out to the cars on the otherside of the road.
Even stopping in the Keep Clear space!
The low lying sun is being a pain again!
Was glad to finish in one piece!
Home Time.
Nice cup of brew needed!
Time to use some bits up in the fridge.
Mushrooms, garlic and shallots were chopped up.
Chicken breasts were pan fried.
Then all put in the oven together.
Finished writing yesterday's blog post.
Hubby comes home and has a sloppy wet one 😘
Tea is dished up.
Yum.
Afterwards I looked into today's newspaper.
