One Banana, Two Banana,....

If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact - not to be solved, but to be coped with over time - Shimon Peres
Welcome aboard my tiny Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
 I had the warm hug and cup of tea in bed↓
I was so warm and cosy,
I didn't want to get out.....
Hubby went and fetched the newspaper in his car.
He went to work↓
Once I got downstairs...
I went outside for some fresh air↓
 My younger brother phoned me to say our Prodical brother has admitted to the Solicitor our late dad did give him the car for work carried out on the bathroom.£1900 has been taken off the bathroom invoice, leaving £900.
The Solicitor is now waiting for bank statements from 2018 to see if our late dad did pay the Prodical brother the full £2500 or just £300....
My mouth is dry after all this yakking on the phone.
Coffee, and nibble time↓

The wind and rain was lashing at the Sexy Beast while onto work I went.
Even the temperatures were falling ↘↘↘
As it was far too windy and the rain was lashing down....
So no pictures of the surrounding countryside today.... 
The rain was still coming down when I got home....
 
 I enjoyed cheese on toast with coffee.
 
  The rain stopped and the sun came out!
After I finished the other job,
I need a nice chicken stir fry,
with plenty of garlic, ginger and spinach thrown in....
We watched:
and
 The wind was still banging my wind chimes..
That banging gives me ideas....
