Welcome to my baking Thursday.🎂
Breakfast and Brew.
Dressed.
Now to leave the house to go to work!
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave to go to work.
On goes my summer coat and summer hat.
I walk down to turn on my lights.
Gets my newspaper.
Swaps my newspaper for my big stick.
I turned on my lights.
Off to my spot I went.
The Flower lorry came up the road, there was no room for where it normally parks. It just parked opposite me. The traffic started to build up. After five minutes it went up the road, turned round and came past and parked further down the road.
Besides that and cars not stopping the other side of the road, my morning shift went better than expected.
Finished in one piece.
Now back home to bake a cake.
Coffee first.....
Kenny the Kenwood comes out for a quick play.
This isn't a Birthday cake for hubby's birthday on Saturday. No, it's a leaving cake for a good friend, who works in the newsagent shop where I get my paper from and gossip from!
In the oven it went.
Now for some liquid lunch.
I spoke to hubby during his lunch hour.
Now to do the afternoon shift.
On goes those big big sunglasses.
Summer coat and summer hat goes on.I turn on both lights. Nips into Charity Shop for a look, chat, and laugh. Goes back to Sexy Beast to collect my big stick.
I sit in the square to soak up the rays!
My friends arrive for a little rabbit up to when I start my afternoon shift.
I said goodbye to my friends.
A few car drivers fail to stop on the otherside of the road.

(If I got results like him,

Light lunch time.
My cake board has been delivered elsewhere...
Here we go again!
Has fun try to explain it was delivered wrong!
I sent a picture of my house, and that's not in their picture!
20 minutes later, a worker from the factory pictured, comes delivers my parcel!
Thank you I say!
I put the 3 layers on the cake board with strawberry frosting.

Breakfast with Brew time↓
Dressed.
Outside to water the garden.
I give hubby a big sloppy wet one 😘 before he leaves.
I sit and enjoy a coffee afterwards.
Grabs my white hat, now time for little ride in Sexy Beast.
First stop was B&M Bargains to see if they sell a Garden Bracket to put a hanging basket on.
I chattered with the sales assistant outside in the garden section. I was already starting to sweat. They had sold out of them.
I said "Thanks."
I went into Sainsburys to collect my Argos order.
I picked up a cold bottle of water as I was getting well warm!
Then off to park car ready for a great coffee morning.
Parks in the Hall car park.
I nips into the Paper Shop and says hi to everyone. Gets my newspaper and my neighbour's magazine.
Went into the Charity shop and got some right bargains. One of my friends who I have a chat with in the afternoon, when I am doing my Lollipop job turned up.
We had a good rabbit going back up to the Coffee Morning.
I got my blue milk out of the boot and we went inside.
Lots of people to chat to, coffee and cake.
I got the males of the family a cup cake each.
(One male had already ate his before I could take a pic of it!)
I had a go on the raffle.
Second prize Hamper included Fray Bentos Pie
"Wouldn't mind having that hamper,"I laughed.
"Not the first prize of alcohol?" I was asked.
"No I will be happy with Fray Bentos!" I laughed.
Time for coffee and cake.
Nice chat with my friend for an hour before we had another drink and piece of cake.
No one was eating the Chocolate cake.
I gave it 20 mins, and if no one had it, I was going to buy it for us.
After half an hour, I just had to rescue it!
On they way out I got chatting to someone whose son I was chatting to about his signed Dooleys album he was selling to someone else in the two weeks before I broke up for the summer holidays.
It was the first she knew of him selling any of his vinyl off.
I said,"Husband bought a signed album and 12 inch record signed by the whole band of Ebay for my Christmas presents."
"I could have made a offer for his signed album that he would have snapped my hand off!"
The Dooleys I hear you ask↓
I told her, "Not to worry, I will catch up with her son when I come back to work in September....."
It is my friend's 71st Birthday at the end of the month, I will come and see him with his card and his Birthday present.
Last year, I had to tie his 7 and 0 Balloons to his door handle as he was out.
Back home I went.
Unpacked all my bargains.
Late lunch.
As it starts to get warm, I develop a headache.
20 minutes of a power nap and it has gone.
Time to write yesterday's blog post.
I had a phone call message,
I had won the 3rd prize in the Coffee Morning Raffle.
I phoned them back and I will pick it up tomorrow.
Just finishes in time when hubby comes home.
He has a sloppy wet one 💋
We had the Linda McCartney Mozzarella burgers for tea.
Very nice :)
