Time for a cup of tea, crumpet and "Sounds of the 60s"

Loaded it back up.
Washing machine and Tumble drier were put on as well.
I went back to sleep for a bit.
A hour later, hubby was up with a cup of coffee for me....

Getting Lots Of Big Love

If I had my life to live over again,I would have a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week - Charles Darwin
Welcome to my Thursday.
I had a nice reminder appear on my timeline on FB.
A little bit of Throwback Thursday
  I'm at Middle School & sitting on the front row.
Back today...
The sun is back for now..
  Still feeling cold.
Not quite cold enough for the thermal knickers, or leggings but the jumper will be worn... 
Nice hug and a cup of tea to keep warm with..
Before everyone left,
I gave out wet πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹ to everyone before they left.
 Coffee and Vitamin C time.
I gave the living room a good tidy up.
Now for a little ride in Sexy Beast..
 
 Frigging Cold↑↑↑↑
My 🍭 boss and wanted to see my Birth Certificate..
(Right to Work in the UK now)
We postponed our meeting for the afternoon, until I can put my hands on my Birth Certificate!
I hopefully will start my 🍭 job soon :)
I had a quick look in the newspaper↓

It would have been Eddie Cochran's 81st Birthday 🎈
He died aged 21 in 1960.
Chubby Checker, American singer-songwriter (The Twist) is 78 years old 🎈
 Lindsey Buckingham, American guitarist and lead singer (Fleetwood Mac) is 70 years old.🎈

While singing along with Fleetwood Mac, I looked across the fields of fun...

 
 I had a nice red shiny face,
Just like my t-shirt I was wearing..↓
One caterpillar was making a quick get away↓
 I was singing along with some great 70s hits on the way home.

 
 I used up my £5 Bodyshop voucher on something nice↓

Then we popped into Aldi to get some supplies.
Some nice wreaths to make↓

 Then we caught up with Your Fired.
We watched one episode of Law and Order which I have always remember when the suspect gets off, tries to strangle a member of the jury (he was seeing during the trial and afterwards)
She grabbed some shears and stabbed him to death.
 Now to enjoy some Big Love πŸ’—πŸ’—
