Fancy Some Hard Stuff??

Woo hoo the Friday Feeling is back again...
We have now 1 week left until the 6 weeks school holidays start...
One of the parents commented "You have the Power to stop the traffic!"
"Sometimes the Power isn't enough to stop the traffic, they keep going!"
Brought the washing in before the planned rain at 1pm did arrive...
For the final shift, the rain stopped, pity the traffic didn't.
I was asked "if I would be hitting the hard stuff tonight?"
"Sorry to be boring, but I have been teetotal for the last 3 years!"
"Oh, so what happens if you get the urge?"Came the reply.
"I watch my hubby have his glass of cider, then I jump him later......!"

Enjoying The Pink Sunshine Again

Had another fun day of trying to cross the children over the road (safely)(and in the sunshine)
One particular parent (who I have history with) either had to stop or have a cracked windscreen.
She stopped at the last minute, and I felt the blast of her icy stare...
I finally got round to packing up older son's present for his 21st Birthday next Wednesday.
And a present for a good friend whose birthday is at the end of the month.
 Larry got in touch with his feminine side by his pink seat covers..
Let's see when I go back to work on the September 5th, when parents realise what time I actually start in the afternoon!

Not Rude Enough!

Welcome to my Hump Of The Week.
I had fun with some new year 5 parents.
Some didn't realise you have to wait on the pavement for me to stop the traffic first!
Took my dad out for a spin in Larry,
He loved it!
Trying to find a rude Birthday card for a good friend.
I found one that made me laugh
 However it's not rude enough!
Then its back to the new year 5 parents.
I had ten minutes left to start before my afternoon shift.
"Can you cross us over the road?"
"Sorry my official time is in ten minutes time."
They realised crossing the road is never easy, and cars don't stop, even if you are dressed like a lemon and holding a lollipop stick with the word "STOP" on it!

Shaking The Money Tree?

 Larry made a new friend while on the school run.
His name is Robbie...

I took Larry to the garage to have his computer read once more.
The mechanics gave me the look of dread when they saw Larry.
Had every dig, joke, comment you can think of about the Freelander 
I shrugged my shoulders,and hope the money tree in my garden is in season!
"If you thought you had problems,with your old Skoda, you will have a shed more with your Freelander".I was told.
As soon as I turn on my CD player in Larry.
A good song comes on....

Looks Of Love....

Larry came onto the wobbly work wheel with me.
Had some looks of love  off people while driving Larry;
To Webbs for coffee and chat.
When I came out to greet Larry.
I had a couple giving me more looks at me and Larry.
"Right,lets see what Larry can do!"( I said)
I went around the grass car park,opposite them and then slowly passed them in the car park!!
Had some bits  arrived:
Bits for Larry's service

Nice sticker for Larry
And my pink suitcase for all my lovely crap I lug around everyday!

Riding Larry Long & Hard...

We took Larry out for a nice long ride out.
We visited Long Marston Airfield to look around the market.
Next visit was for my free coffee (I have missed it so much!)
 We park up by the river in Bidford Upon Avon.
Larry watched the canal boats on the river.
Kids enjoyed playing football...
 Then we emptied our cherry tree of its now ripe cherries.....

Getting Nice And Wet!

Time to enjoy my Saturday..
Kids were doing a bag pack to raise money for their Scout group.
So we took full advantage of some adult time...
Tea for two.
Then we took Larry out for a ride.
 Hubby and I had a go on the Tug of War...
We huffed, puffed, and was on the losing team :(
Jack won £5 in Skittles competition.
Then it was time to get Larry wet...
