 Welcome to my Thursday 🍄

I had a bit of lie-in this morning.

I gave hubby a quick hug and sloppy wet 💋 before he left to go to work.

I ate my breakfast and enjoyed my first brew of the day.

Today is the 7th anniversary of writing this blog!

Thank you for reading it!

An engineer is coming today to look at why our internet speed is not fast enough.

Now to move to Sewing table out of the way, so he can look at the phone line starts.....

More Gnomes for the garden arrives.

In to the garden they go↓

Now to go and fetch the newspaper.

Has a chat with the woman in the shop.

Then back home I go.

I was looking around for some reasonably priced tickets for Barry Manilow's concert next June in Birmingham....

I found some right near the stage....

Woo Hoo!

I was in the middle of writing yesterday's blog post, when the Engineer arrived.

(Good job I did move the sewing table out of the way in the end)

We got chatting while he was checking the line.

(I bet he was thinking I don't get out much....)

I was telling about the series about 9/11 we are watching.

He escaped up the road to check the box.

When he came back,

I asked "If he ear hurts?"

He laughed, more chin wagging, he kept looking at his watch. He finally tore himself away at 2pm, to get to the next job.

We moved the router about 5 times to see if the speed could get higher. 

Where it was in the first place was the highest speed. 

Late lunch.

Then I chopped up some onions, mushrooms, and garlic.

Fried them up, with the sausages and added vegetables to the red casserole dish.

In the oven it went on...

Belated 

Tea at 3.

Finished writing the blog post.

Oven got turned on.

Watered all the plants outside.

Hubby came home and received a sloppy wet 💋

Casserole was dished up.

Afterwards I had a quick look in the newspaper.

Now to carry on watching about 9/11.

Sleep Tea.

5th episode.

The final episode is on tomorrow.

It's getting quite cold at night...

Topper goes over the duvet now!

Now to makes some phone calls and get this week's blog posts wrote!

For the third time in 2 months I had to phone the Tax Office up about the tax took from my wages!

They were banging their head as well me over this. They gave me the number for Acas.

I phoned Acas. They were very interesting in this.

They told me what to do, which I did in a email to the boss of the Cleaning Firm.

Speaking of the cleaning Firm in question.

The House job I used to do on Monday and Friday has been readvertised.......

Then the Cleaning Boss I saw yesterday kept emailing me on what hours I did at the house this month..... email after email. I am having more contact with him than when I was actually working for him!!!!

Except the certain Monday when I pressed his Button!

I managed to write some of the blog posts for this week, but not all....

That's going to be carried on tomorrow!
