Welcome to my Saturday ⌛

I didn't get up early today like any other Saturday, when I wake up at 6am!

I will catch up with Sounds of the 60s during the week on catch up.

Nice to have a warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Hubby is having his flu jab this morning.

Now to leave the house

Making the most of the nice weather!

The scandals come out!

First we drop off son at his work place.

Then onto town we go.

We parks in Car Park 4, as 

Car Park 7 has been knocked down!

Onto Boots for hubby's flu jab.

Once that was done, we bought the newspaper and a coffee to go.

Back home to start back on emptying the loft.

We had lunch halfway through sorting through boxes. There is a nice big pile to go to the tip tomorrow morning.

Hubby done one trip to the Storage unit with son.

When he got back, we had tea.

Then it's on the search for hubby to get some Diesel for his car.

We managed to get some from Morrisons.Then the queues started to form.

I got my first Magic Bags of the evening from Morrisons in Astwood Bank.

The staff in the Petrol Station had not experienced the demand for petrol before.

They had run out of diesel and running low on unleaded.

Told them to write a funny message and leave it out for the car drivers when they run out of unleaded!

Then onto M&S which is also a Petrol Station.

They had run out of fuel except food.

I got my Magic Bag.

Moved onto Waitrose on the motorway services.

Not a lot of queues at that petrol station.

Got my Magic Bag.

Now back home to unpack them all!

Then we watched...

Then I looked into today's newspaper.
