Gloves Off!

 Some people pay a compliment as if they expected a receipt -
 Kin Hubbard
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.

Welcome to my Monday 🍥
 Hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
I wanted to get the newspaper before it gets really busy with people.
Where has the sun gone?
Out in Sexy Beast we go..
It's now starting to snow ⛄
It's really cold....brrrrrr
Says hello to everyone in the shop when I get my newspaper.
Goes past my dad's, still looking like a public car park...
Back home.
The lawn looks nice :)
The blossom is coming out now on the tree.
Quick coffee before starting on the Easter Cake.
Hubby goes on to put the boarder on the wall in the toilet room.
I have a date with lemons...
I had a little play with Kenny as well.
The sponges were put in the oven to bake.
Hubby had finished putting the boarder up.
Once the cake had cooled down from being in the oven.
Time for some decoration!
Now for a special Afternoon Tea.

That was so nice and yummy.
Dishwasher emptied and loaded up.
Plus the washing machine went on 3 times!
I carried on writing yesterday's blog post.
Once that was done and published.
Tea at 3. 
I went off to have a nice hot shower!
The curtain rings on the curtain rail above the front door wasn't holding the curtain.....

Enjoying The Sunshine At Home!

The chance of a slice of bread falling butter side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet - Murphy's Law
We enjoyed a nice lie-in.
We enjoyed warm hugs and a cuppa to start the day↓ 
 Once we had breakfast and got dressed.
We went outside to get a deep breath of fresh air. The sun is shining!
 Once hubby starts to mow the lawn.
I have another go at making bread.
I found a ideal book to help!
 On it goes again↓
 The lawn is looking nice↓
 The sun is trying to come out↓
 The bread has been done \o/
 Light lunch↓
 I done some weeding,
Tidied up the back garden.
