Spreading The Friday Feeling!

There are some people who want to throw their arms round you simply because it is Christmas; there are other people who want to strangle you simply because it is Christmas.

Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈
Heardle Time:
Heardle 60s:

Plus a bit of sequin and Christmas Jumper!
Now to leave the house....
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 😘 before I left.
On goes two Winter Hats, Winter Coat and winter gloves.
I got the newspaper.
I collected my big stick.
Now to turn on my lights. 
Now let's go to work...🍭
Still having car drivers not stopping.
Plenty of BOINGs given out.
It didn't help that was a pile of dog poop on the pavement over the road where I stand in the afternoon.
I was warning the parents about it before I crossed.
Some kids still managed to walk into it.
I had to put up with late braking of cars.
Some left it really late to stop!
Finished in one piece.
 I told the Clerk at the Parish Council about the dog poop.
She replied, "I always clean up after everyone, including dogs!"
I left and off to Dunelm I went.
I got the thermal linings for the kitchen curtain.
Back home.
On goes the coffee machine.
Dishwasher was unloaded and loaded up.
Now for that coffee...
I pinned the pair of thermal linings to the Kitchen curtain.
(They cover the kitchen door and one window)
That took a whole morning to take down, attach and put back up!
In need of some liquid refreshment!
Now to do the final afternoon shift.
On goes my Winter hats, Winter coat and gloves.
I turns on my lights.
I went down to the local Charity Shop...
I got some nice things...↓
Then I chat with one friend, as my other friend was running late.
We had a good rabbit....
I wished him a good weekend and I started my final shift of the week.
The cars over the otherside of the road was stopping in the KEEP CLEAR space, which I had trouble crossing the children over with no room for them to cross!
A few BOINGs were handed out for good measure!
At least I finished in one piece!
Back home I go.
Time for a brew!
Out comes the Air Fryer to do the Fish and Chips.
Hubby comes home and has a sloppy wet one 💋

Now for the fun to start!
Cars not stopping on the otherside of the road.
The blue 21 plate mini is getting good at not stopping.
Let's hope she doesn't play I didn't see the Yellow Peril dressed in yellow coat when my stick does a tap and crack on her windscreen. 
Finished in one piece.
Now to meet up with friends for coffee, chat and nibble. 
When I booked the table last night, I told them I can only have blue milk and not semi-skimmed milk.They phoned me saying they only use semi-skimmed milk.
So on the way, I picked up a 2 pint of blue milk to have in my coffee.
My two friends had all you eat breakfasts.
I was boring and had toast.
I had coffee, my friends had tea.
Once we finished, we popped into the Charity Shop.
I got my hubby's Xmas present, that was in the shop window.
I got some other bits.
Walked back to Sexy Beast.
Said goodbye to my friends and said to them,
"See you later Alligator"
I picks up newspaper on the way home.
I just happen to google hubby's xmas present I just bought.
One website was selling it for £222!

I wished them both good weekends.
Now for my final shift of the the weekend.
Let the fun start!
I was in the middle of the road crossing the children and parents over, when a yellow Nissan Juke was revving up his engine behind me.
I slowly walked back onto the pavement.
He put his foot down and roared off!
One car stopped at the very last minute, and he wasn't too far off my arse!
Finished in one piece.

Now to watch a series we found on BBC iplayer which we missed the first time round.
Life And Death Row:
The Mass Execution in Arkansas. 
Life And Death Row: The Mass Execution is a documentary series about the historic number of executions scheduled in Arkansas, USA, of eight men in ten days. The Governor of Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson, has scheduled eight men to be put to death within ten days of each other. The reason for the unprecedented timetable is to use up the state's supply of a lethal injection drug called midazolam before it expires.
Sleep Tea Time.
On our monthly road trip tomorrow to Droitwich......🚗
