Welcome to my Thursday 🌺🌼🌹🌸

Brew with Breakfast.

The thermal vest went on once more.

Not so many layers.

(Rumour has it,it's going to be quite warm this afternoon!)

I didn't have to cover up Sexy Beast either! 

Now out of the door.

I gives hubby a wet sloppy one before I leave.

I still wore 2 hats and my big big gloves!

I put on my lights.

Let's get ready to roll 🍭

The first ten minutes was bedlam!

Cars doing the limbo dance under my stick.

BOING,BOING, BOING my stick went.

The cars are the otherside wasn't either stopping either, just putting their hand up when they went past me!

Suddenly a woman wearing a orange coat wanted to cross the road.

She handed me some nice flowers and a card and said:

"You do such a good job keeping the children safe, here are some flowers and a card from all of us at the school!"

I was quite gobsmacked

"Good job? Do I!" I replied.

"Yes you do, and we so appreciate it!"

"Must be doing something right, I am still here!"

I thanked her, and crossed her back over the road.

All the parents I crossed over, agreed with the Head Teacher, that I do a good job.

I was just amazed, as I am not used to compliments but just car drivers trying to kill me!

Finished in one piece.

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

On goes the coffee machine.

Now to find the flower vase....

I sent the school the above photo, and thanked them for making my day!

Coffee time!

Now to make the next batch of soup.

Put on the soup maker.

"ERROR" kept coming on.

Emptied more mixture out of it.

3 more times it kept saying "ERROR"

I gave the lid a good clean and put it back on.

It worked that time.

I started yesterday's blog post.

I ended up having a jug full of soup and 2 bowls of soup as well.

One bowl went into the microwave to heat up for lunch.

I had a letter from my Prison Pen Pal from the USA.

Younger son has nearly completed his 1500 piece jigsaw puzzle.

Now out for the second time.

One winter hat, no gloves, and the big big sunglasses came out.

I put on my lights.

It's going to be some fun with low lying sun!

Now it's rabbit time with my two friends.

I said goodbye to them.

Now for more fun to have 🍭

Lots of BOINGs were given out!

Lots of parents asked "Who was the parent that nearly took me out last Monday?"

I pointed to the Land Rover that just went past me at the exact point they asked me.

Nearly finished, crossing the last parent and child over, when we had to stop in the middle of the road,as a car on the otherside just kept driving....!

 Hometime for me!

Now for that cup of brew!

I carried on writing yesterday's blog post.

&

Getting tonight's tea sorted out.

Linguine was put a saucepan of hot water.

Fried up some mushrooms, peppers, garlic, and spinach.

Once the Linguine was done, dried off the water, added some cream cheese, and everything I fried up.

Mixed it altogether.

Served it up.

(Ate it too quickly to take a photo,

It was so nice!)

Hubby arrived with more flowers!

He had his tea.

I looked into today's newspaper.

Rock ‘n’ Roll legend, Buddy Holly (aged 22), was killed in a plane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa, USA. Also killed were two other rock ‘n’roll stars: Ritchie Valens (aged 17) and J. P. (“The Big Bopper”) Richardson (aged 28). Pilot Roger Peterson (aged 21) died, on this day in 1959.

USA No.1 on this day in 1972:

 Don McLean - American Pie

Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street was released on this day in 1978.

Then we watched Senior Darts.

Bob Anderson was playing.

Sleep Tea Time.

After we watched the darts.

The review of the newspapers was next.

Hubby's flowers was put next to the other ones.

The Friday Feeling is back tomorrow 🎈

Welcome to my Thursday 📦

Mmmm warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Opened the curtains...

Nice sunrise

Dressed.

Gives hubby a wet sloppy 😘 before I leave.

Big big sunglasses time.

Summer coat goes on

(With jacket underneath)

I put on my lights.

Now for the fun to start 🍭

I stopped the white Tesla again ;)

Someone had to slam the brakes on or it would have done tap and smash!

Still loads of traffic to deal with.

At least I finished in one piece!

I collects the newspaper on the way home.

The coffee machine was put on.

While that was doing the coffee, 

I watered the plants.

Poured my coffee,

Then mopped the kitchen floor.

I filled in the form for permission, took a picture of it, and emailed the council department.

The email bounced back to me!

Copy and pasted the email address off the council website.

It did not bounce this time.

DPD redelivered my parcel to a shop for me to pick up later on this afternoon!

Woo Hoo!

Much needed coffee now!

Tried to write yesterday's blog post.

However as normal,

I got sidetracked.

Trying to find some draught excluders.....

Either too small, too expensive, or I would have to wait for some in November!

Son came back, and he wore his fancy dress outfit, to show me how he looked.

Where's Wally!

His Where Wally cake has to be finished for tomorrow.

More books arrived for me to read!

Light lunch.

Then it's back out in the sunshine.

On goes the summer coat.

I go and get a ice-lolly.

Turn on my lights.

Collects Lollypop stick.

Then to enjoy the sun's rays with ice lolly.

Chatted to one friend.

Then I started the afternoon shift.

Some car drivers drove straight under my stick....

Oh well....

One Speedy car driver had to slam his brakes on, as I was in the middle of the road, and not going on nowhere....

Finished in one piece.

Now to go and pick up my parcel.

I had some laughs in there.

Back home I go.

Now to get the tea on the go....

Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet 💋

Tea is served..

Yum!

Quick look into today's newspaper.

You always need some Jive Bunny in your life!

I love Agadoo that much,

It's my ringtone on my mobile!

 Sleep Tea time.

Just about to go to bed at 11pm, when my son comes down to finish off his cake and wants my help!

Out comes the white fondant, rolls it, puts it on the cake. Now for the red effect on it!

Where is Wally cake
