 Welcome to my Monday😋
Back on the Wobbly Work Wheel tomorrow 🎡
Hug and brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Woke up kids.
Gave hubby a nice sloppy wet 💋 before he went to work.
Another 💋 for one son, as the other one is going in later.
Once I wrote my blog,
I was going to take out Sexy Beast for a nice ride... 
Some saw old friends again.
Got one tyre replaced.
(My late dad kept saying, check your tyres each week......)
I got the newspaper on the way back.
They asked where I had been.
I explained about my knee..
They said,"Painful?"
"Very," I replied.
Back home.
Still a chill in the air.
Someone wanted to buy my old pink laptop.
That's Christmas sorted out for us :)
Coffee time!

Quick read of the newspaper.

The man who passed away last month,
(I talked to him in March,when he was tending his wife's grave)
 All the flowers were dead that were laid there from his funeral. I put them in the bin.
I put some red flowers on the right of his gravestone to make it look nice with the white ones I added last week↓
 The soil on his grave has now dropped down so much, that grass can be laid on top.
My dad will have to wait a bit longer for that to happy,as the soil hasn't gone down that much yet↓↓

 Jewel Franklin Guy , known professionally as James Best, was an American television, film, stage, and voice actor, as well as a writer, director, acting coach, artist, college professor, and musician. During a career that spanned more than 60 years, he performed not only in feature films but also in scores of television series, as well as appearing on various country music programs and talk shows. Television audiences, however, perhaps most closely associate Best with his role as the bumbling Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane in the action-comedy series The Dukes of Hazzard, which originally aired on CBS between 1979 and 1985. He reprised the role in 1997 and 2000 for the made-for-television movies The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion! and The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood (2000).He would have been 94 years old 🎈.
 He died aged 88 in 2015.

His distinctive voice and energetic live performances, along with Keith Richards' guitar style, have been the trademark of the Rolling Stones throughout the band's career. Jagger gained press notoriety for his romantic involvements, and was often portrayed as a countercultural figure.He is 77 years old 🎈
Terry Scott  was an English actor and comedian who appeared in seven Carry On films. He also appeared in BBC1's domestic sitcom Terry and June with June Whitfield.He died aged 67 in 1994.
