My Minion Family Is Growing...

I am a doormat in a world of boots - Jean Rhys
Welcome to my Saturday 💗
I woke up early, and left Sleeping Beauty to have a lie in...
I had to write 3 blog posts, 
While listening to the "Sounds of the 60s"
&
Drinking Tea.
It was top 3 UK Singles from 1964

Sleeping Beauty rose from his warm pit.
We had breakfast.
Thermal vest went on.
Dressed.
Time to do some food shopping
(And use the £10 off voucher for Lidl)
We got 2 wobbly boxes.
Then we moved the car and had a look in the charity shops.
Hubby needed another suit jacket for his Aunt's Funeral next week.
Found a nice one with a long black rain mac for £16.
I was on the hunt for more minions to go with the one I bought last week.
I was not disappointed.....
We looked in all the charity shops and had to hurry back to car as the parking ticket was running out.
Now back home to unpack all the shopping.
Lots of jigsaws to keep the younger son busy.
Lunchtime.
20 minutes power nap.
Then to put all the things away I bought earlier.
The Christmas Balloon and Bakery came out for Christmas.↓
I have wrote to two more inmates in prison in the United States.
I hope to hear from the other four I sent letters too in the near future.
Tea time.
Steak Time.
I found two shopping lists while I was in Lidl this morning.
Today's Advent Calender door is:
We finished watching the BBC Three series on 
Life and Death Row.
Truth
Life and Death Row Series 2
Episode 3 of 4
Life and Death Row tells the story of capital punishment through the eyes of young people whose lives have been shaped by it. With unprecedented access inside prison walls, it discovers what it's like to live with the threat of the death chamber, as well as hearing from victims and their families, and the family of those on death row - some praying for execution, some hoping for a reprieve. Each episode focuses on different aspects of the system - execution, punishment and the complex nature of 'truth'.
In January 2014, Waynesville, Ohio, 18-year-old Justin Back is brutally murdered in his own home. Two of his 19-year-old friends, Austin Myers and Timothy Mosley, are arrested and charged with his murder. However both give very different versions of events, begging the question, who is telling the truth?
With prosecutors seeking the death penalty for the crime, what will each one do to save themselves from the ultimate punishment? With access to the families of all three boys, the devastating nature of this gruesome crime and it's repercussions are revealed. It's one crime but will there be two different outcomes?
Forgiveness
Life and Death Row Series 2
Episode 4 of 4
Tyrone Trottie killed his wife Barbara and her brother Titus on May 3rd, 1993. He has been on death row for the last 21 years. An execution date has been set for a week's time. Tyrone and Barbara had a son together, affectionately called T.T. This is his story. T.T. was raised by Tyrone's parents, who for years kept the fact that T.T's father had killed his mother a secret from him. As a teenager he met his father for the first time behind prison bars and discovered the devastating truth about what his father had done. With Execution Day a week away, T.T has to prepare himself to lose a parent all over again. Will he forgive his father before he loses him forever?
 Love Triangle
Over eight mini-episodes, Life and Death Row: Love Triangle tells the story of Heather Strong, a beautiful young wife and mother, who has disappeared without trace. Concerned for her whereabouts, detectives bring in her estranged husband Joshua Fulgham for questioning. During his initial interview, police discover Josh had a pregnant lover, Emilia Carr. Growing more suspicious, detectives want to interview Emilia to find out what she knows about the disappearance of Heather.
Looked into today's newspaper.

At least It Didn't Reach Double Figures.

Vote early and vote often - Al Capone 
The Friday Feeling is back 🎈
&
Christmas Jumper Day 
Hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Christmas jumper worn.
Now to get out in the dark.
I gives hubby a nice sloppy wet 💋 before I leave.
At least it was a lot warmer than it has been.
There was 40% chance of rain.
Far too warm to wear those lumo trousers.
The first child I tried to cross over, the woman failed to stop...
Oh dear it's going to be like this today!
Two more car drivers failed to stop ....
Then it decides to rain (Heavily) when I just about to finished.
I got chatting to a woman who I hadn't seen about this week who normally walks her dog when I am on duty.
Back home to dry out.
Coffee time↑
Now to add the matching hat with the Christmas jumper.
The woman in the Papershop said I haven't been looking too happy on a Friday when she sees me on the way to my current job.
Perhaps it's a time for a change of job she said. 
Now to look in the newspaper.

Warm hug with a brew.
Breakfast.
Now for more Christmas themed clothes..

Has a quick read of the newspaper..

He died aged 59 in 2006.

When I though I couldn't have a bad dinner service, I was so wrong.....
Back to normal again :( :(
It was guess the year again on the way home.
Great songs to lift my mood....
Lunch time \o/
I had to leave early to get a space in the car park. It still was quite cold, but at least there was no white stuff arriving just yet!
Not having to repeat the staring competition from yesterday helped too!
Getting dark earlier!
