Gloves Off!

Some people pay a compliment as if they expected a receipt -

Welcome to my Tuesday 🍞

Nice warm hug.

Brew with breakfast.

Thermal vest goes on!

Nothing happened like yesterday,

So it was safe for me to leave the house!

I gives hubby a wet sloppy one before I leave.

I go and collect my newspaper with my voucher.

It gets accepted!

Woo Hoo!

Now to get ready.

One winter hat goes on without gloves!

I turn on my lights.

Now to have some fun...🍭

Bad sign, when the first car I try and stops,

It doesn't,

BOING time!

At least it is warm enough so I don't have to wear gloves this morning.

More BOINGS given out!

I was given an Easter egg off a parent.

At least I finished in one piece.

Home time.

Coffee machine was put on.

As well as the bread maker.

Coffee time.

Wrote yesterday's blog post up until lunch time.

Bread turned out nice again :)

Soup was nice with warm bread!

Now to do part 2....

On the way, I was caught up with a road rage incident involving 2 vans.One went up to the roundabout and came back and showing the fingers at the van in front of me, then the van went about 10 m.p.h until it finally turned off into a side road!

One winter hat and no gloves.

Puts on my lights, and then it was time for a little rabbit.

A lorry was parked on double yellow lines just after where I do my job.....

I would have had problems seeing the traffic coming up the hill. It did move before I started work.

I said goodbye to my friends.

The blue sky is disappearing...

Now let's get it on....

BOING, BOING,BOING are being given out again!

Am I going to get a tap and crack before Friday???

Finished in one piece.

Home time.

Now for a much needed brew!

While I put the tea in the oven,

I carried on watching...

I had a nice tea....with root mash and chicken.

Yum.

Now to look into today's newspaper.
