June 
3 Birthdays and Father's Day packed into this month!
1:Birthday Fun!
2:More Cards I Made
3:Funeral
I paid my respects to one of my cleaning bosses, that passed away last month, just short of his 70th Birthday.The funeral was packed.There was no room to sit in on the service, so I sat outside and listened to the service being put on speakers.
I was wearing a black with white daisy dress and a black hat.
One former employee took issue with me wearing it for some reason, kept starring up and down at me, twice!
It didn't help what she decided to wear, that half chewed cardigan at the back...
.I remembered a picture of two famous movie stars from years ago...
Let's raise the white flag!
4: Redditch Pride
5:Showing Off My Dog!
6: Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to my lovely dad.
7:Minions
Got more minions and saw the Minion's movie. 
8: Fixing the net curtain
Since we had new windows fitted, the new net curtains is refusing to stop up! 
That barb wire looks like we live in a prison camp!
9:Hot weather
Plenty of factor 50 sun cream, and sitting in the shade when I can!
July is going to be action-packed month!
