Getting Lots Of Help From Vick!

One way to help the weather make up its mind is to hang out washing - Marcelene Cox

Welcome to my Sunday (Not giving any) 💓

Only woke up once during the night.

That Lavender Pillow Spray I had for my Birthday knocked me straight out.

The Strange Dreams about Royal Mail started again.

Once I woke up, all the windows got opened throughout the house.

Brew with Breakfast.

I put the coffee machine on abit later.

(I was no mood to get up just yet)

I enjoyed a hot strong coffee..

Before I fell asleep again.

Hubby went off for a walk to fetch the newspaper and post our son's PCR test.

When he came back, I had found the need to get dressed.

Puts lots of Vic on to help with blocked nose.

The sun is out.

The washing from earlier, went out on the line.

I finished off the soup.

Afterwards carried on doing some gardening.

Hubby loaded up his car with the garden waste, and took a trip to the council tip.

I made us some cups of tea, and waited for his return.

It was nice to enjoy some Vitamin D.

Hubby put the meat in the oven.

I carried on writing yesterday's blog post.

We had a roast pork roast dinner.

(too slow with the camera this time)

Later on, hubby took a Covid test ...

His was negative.

Next go was mine.

The second line appeared before it chance for the first to appear!

POSTIVE.

No Wobbly Work Wheel for me tomorrow!

I let my boss know and the NHS know too.

One minute I am freezing cold, next I am so warm. The raging sore throat doesn't help!

Carried on watching:

Ice Hotel in Lapland, Sweden↓

Onto Series 2:

The Brando in French Polynesia↓

Tears In My Eyes....

I was high on life, but eventually I built up a tolerance - Arj Barker

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪

Nice warm hug.

Then it was breakfast and brew time.

Thermal vest goes on.

I am hoping the rain keeps off this morning.

Now out in the fresh air...

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one before I left.

I just put my boots on in case it decided to rain.

I put on my lights.

Now let's have some fun 🍭

I think my coat is not bright enough,

As still the limbo drivers fail to see me or my big stick!

I gave out a few BOINGs for good measure.

One car had to brake hard on the otherside of the road!

The traffic was building up when I was nearly finished.

At least I finished in one piece.

I went round the long way to pick up the newspaper and my neighbour's magazine.

The rain started on and off all morning.

Coffee machine went on.

Unloaded the dishwasher.

The soup maker went on.

Now for some nice strong coffee.

How the time flies when I do some more housework!

A nice new batch of soup to enjoy!

It was raining before I left.

On goes those sexy lumo trousers.

Now for round 2.

I just got the last but one car parking space.

While I getting my boots on, a woman walked past me, gave me hard look and looked at her watch.

I was going tell her time if she wanted to know.

Boots, 2 winter hats and waterproof gloves on now.

Turns on my lights.

I haven't see my friend with his dog to talk to this week.

(Only to wave to in the morning)

Speaking of friends.

My two turned up, one had bought herself some daffodils from the near-by flower shop.

Then the other friend farted and walked off.

My other friend and me were in fits of laughter following the round of fart jokes we were talking about!

With tears in my eyes from laughing too much.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Now for the fun to start again.

At least some of the car drivers stopped.

Had still a few limbo drivers.

BOING!!!!

I had to keep puttng my hood down as I was getting well warm, even though it was raining.

Finished in one piece.

Home Time.

Now to get on with tonight's tea.

Pan fried the pork chops,

then added stuffing on the top.

In the oven that went.

Vegetables went in the saucepan.

Roast potatoes, and roast parsnips went in the oven as well.

Put the oven on.

I used up the £5 Discount code, Hobbycraft sent out a few weeks ago.

More pens and a bit more craft stuff is now on order.

Hopefully my new breadmaker will be delivered tomorrow.

Amazon must be pissed off, as they keep sending me emails about a new breadmaker...

Going to book tickets for another trip to the NEC Craft event later on this month.

Not going VIP this time.....

Hubby came home and had a nice wet sloppy one 💋.

Dished up the tea.

I ate it too quick for a photo to be taken....
