Having Cake & Eating It In One!

 I used to be Snow White, but I drifted - Mae West

Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈

Warm Hug Time \o/

Breakfast with brew.

Thermal vest goes on.

Furry leggings also goes on!

+

Lots of layers.

Time to go outside...

Uncovers Sexy Beast.

Gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before I leave.

2 winter hats and big big gloves.

I puts on my lights.

Now for the fun to start...🍭

The cars over the otherside of the road, seem to have a problem with seeing me, even though I have a big lumo coat and a big stick which says "Stop"!

Few BOINGs given out as well!

Finished in one piece!

I got changed and nipped into the local Bakery got some big cakes to take with me to a Coffee and Yak visit.

It was sad news about Meatloaf :(

Nipped home.

Back out to get the newspaper on the way.

I sang along with a Meatloaf song on the way:

Does a lot of yak, and coffee when I got to my friends.

She said, "It would take two servings to eat the big Eccles cake."

"I ate mine in one serving," and gave her my empty plate :)

(Come March 1st, Lent starts, no cake or chocolate for nearly 6 weeks!)

Good job my 50th Birthday is in the week before!

 I enjoyed the chat,cake and coffee!

I wished her a good weekend when I left. 

Some bad driving from other car drivers on the way home. I kept my distance!

It is still freezing cold...

Time for more coffee and some hot soup!

It's cloudy, so no need for my big big sunglasses.

Now out for the final one of the week.

I still put on my 2 winter hats and winter gloves.

I turned on my lights.

My two friends turned up and we had our normal rabbit!

My friend got confused and said:

"See you tomorrow!"

"No, you have two days off from me!

See you on Monday, have a good weekend!"

I replied.

Once I started my final shift, then the fun started.

Lots of last minute braking, and no stopping from the traffic on the otherside.

It doesn't help when they stop in the Keep Clear space either!

Finished in one piece!

Hometime.

Back home.

I covered up Sexy Beast.

Cup of Brew time.

The fish and fish fingers went on in the oven.

Son brought down his Air Fryer down to put the chips in.

Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet 😘

Time to dish up the tea.

We watched a bit of "Sounds of the 70s"

Hubby went food shopping with younger son.

I looked into today's newspaper.

Comedy legend, Benny Hill, was born in Southampton. His song Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West), was the 1971 Christmas UK No 1. His once hugely popular TV comedy show is no longer repeated in the UK, as it’s now viewed as politically incorrect.

He would have been 98 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 68 in 1992.

John  Ryan , best known by his stage name, Jack Lord, was an American television, film and Broadway actor, director and producer. He starred as Steve McGarrett in the CBS television program Hawaii Five-O, which ran from 1968 to 1980.

He died on this day in 1998 aged 77.

Norma  Egstrom , known professionally as Peggy Lee, was an American jazz and popular music singer, songwriter, composer, and actress, over a career spanning seven decades. From her beginning as a vocalist on local radio to singing with Benny Goodman's big band, Lee created a sophisticated persona, writing music for films, acting, and recording conceptual record albums combining poetry and music.

Lee recorded over 1,100 masters and composed over 270 songs. 

She sadly died aged 81 in 2002. 

UK No.1 on this day in 1966:

 The Spencer Davis Group - Keep on Running

The soundtrack to the movie 'The Graduate' was released on this day in 1968.

On this date in 1983 Eurythmics released their hit single "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)"

Uk.1 in the UK in 1986:

A-ha - "The Sun Always Shines On TV"

"Two Hearts" by Phil Collins was the #1 song on the Billboard charts today in 1989. It was the first of two straight weeks on top.

They came back with all of the shopping.

I helped put the shopping away.

We watched the programme on Meatloaf.

Meatloaf: In & Out Hell.

Since the release of the Bat Out of Hell album, Meat Loaf has possessed the kind of international status that few artists obtain. His larger-than-life persona and performances are fuelled by a passion for theatre and storytelling. This candid profile reveals the man and his music through his own testimony and from the accounts of those closest to him.

Time for Sleep Tea.

Making the most of the Friday Feeling 🎈in bed.

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Using Your Foot Instead Of Your Hand!

When you have nothing to say, sing it - David Ogilvy

Welcome aboard to my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Nice big warm hug to start Monday with.

Brew with Breakfast.

On goes that Thermal Vest!

Gets dressed.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋

Now to leave the house...

I couldn't park where I normally park, as there are Covid-19 Boosters being done there.

Got my winter hat, gloves and coat on.

I turned on my lights.

Now to do this....

Oh dear, people not stopping again.

One car driver on the otherside of the road, put his hand up when he failed to stop.

He could have used his foot to stop instead of using his hand to wave at me!

One parent is dicing with death, she is dragging her daughter over the road and not crossing over with me.

I said to a parent, I was crossing over and witnessing it:

"If everyone does that, I will be out of a job!"

It might be cold, but at least it's dry!

Finished in one piece.

I got the newspaper on the way home.

I put on the coffee machine.

I am going to repot all my house plants this morning, and touchwood have time to go on my spin bike.....

Time was going so quickly.

Had a quick coffee.

Back to the repotting....

I finally finished at lunchtime!

Now for some lunch!

Back out for part two.

On goes winter hat, winter gloves and winter coat.

It just started to rain after I put on my lights.

I was talking to my 2 friends up to the time I started my shift.

Where has this rain come from?

The weather forecast said last night, it was due after 4pm!

I might have to attach a blue light on my hat, as car drivers were still not stopping even with my stick up in the air.

Plus this light rain didn't help.

I was glad I finished in one piece.

Home time.

Now for a much needed brew!

Now to try to get 4 blog posts wrote.

I made a Meat-Free Stir Fry just after writing one blog post.

I got as far as writing 2 1/2 blog posts.

Hubby's team won at snooker 3-2.

I had a quick look in the newspaper.

Robert Strauss  was an American actor. He became most familiar in Hollywood films of the 1950s such as Stalag 17 (1953), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. 

He would have been 108 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 61 in 1975 

Roy Wood  is an English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was particularly successful in the 1960s and 1970s as member and co-founder of the Move, Electric Light Orchestra and Wizzard. As a songwriter, he contributed a number of hits to the repertoire of these bands. Altogether he had more than 20 singles in the UK Singles Chart under various guises, including three UK No. 1 hits.

The BBC has described Wood as being "responsible for some of the most memorable sounds of the Seventies" and "credited as playing a major role in the glam rock, psychedelic and prog rock movements". In 2008, Wood was awarded an honorary doctorate for his contribution to rock and pop by the University of Derby. In 2015, his long and eclectic career was recognised with the "Outer Limits" award at the Progressive Music Awards in London.

Wood was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 as a member of Electric Light Orchestra.

He is 75 years old 🎈 

 

Quick Sleep Tea before I head off to keep the bed warm...

Come With Me To Watch The Box!

 I bought all those celebrity exercise videos. I love to sit and eat cookies and watch them - Dolly Parton 

Welcome to my Saturday 👯

Brew with hug.

Breakfast.

The helicoper had returned.

We went back to bed to enjoy the warm duvet cover.

Now to get up,

Dressed.

Out of the house for some fresh air!

We paid a visit to my parent's grave.

The gravestone behind my parents, was returned and filled the details of the man I chattered last March before the first lockdown.

Then off to pick up some shopping.

I sat in the car while we waited.

Hubby loaded the shopping in the boot and off we went back home.

We put the shopping away.

One of my kids found a 48 year old picture of me with my late dad :)
