Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
New working week!
Heardle Time.
Heardle 60s:

Heardle Country had a lovely song which is one of my favourites of Randy Travis.
Breakfast and Brew.
The thermal vest went on, as well as the sexy lumo trousers.
Wind and Rain time!
Out into it I go...
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 😘 before I leave.
The other way I normally go still have traffic lights until the end of March.
Gets to work.
All the waterproofs go on.
I go and put on my lights and  I gets the newspaper. Puts my newspaper in the car.
I go and put on my other lights.
As it was pouring with rain, I didn't hang about to take a picture of the tree.
I goes back to Sexy Beast to collect my big stick.
When it was time to start I walked over to my spot in the wind and rain.
We are going to have some fun today!
Because I couldn't stick my big stick out too far, car drivers were driving through without the BOING!
I was nice and dry in my coat, the only thing that was getting wet was my glasses!
I finished in one piece.
Back home I go.
Coffee machine went on.
Hung my wet coat in the Dining Room.
Loaded up the Dishwasher, put it on.
Washing machine went on twice.
Coffee time.
Now to write some blog posts up to lunch!
Liquid lunch time!
We have blue skies now :)
Now out to do the afternoon shift.
My big winter coat was a lot less wet now.
There was no room in the car park where I normally park.
I squeezed Sexy Beast into a tight parking space.
(Using both mirrors)
I got my  Winter coat, winter hat, and gloves.
I put on both sets of lights.
Sat back in Sexy Beast, and soon took of my Winter Coat, as I was getting a damp bum from the damp coat! 
One friend came with his dog.
We had a nice rabbit in the square.
Said goodbye to my friend and got on with the job.
He was the first one I crossed over.
Oh dear here we go again.
As it was quite windy I couldn't stick my big stick out, and car drivers weren't stopping on my side or over the road.
Someone had to reverse as they stopped in the Keep Clear space!
At least I finished in one piece!
Back home I go.
Cup of brew is needed.
More blogging to do.
Gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 when he came home.
He had pizza.
I had a nice salad.
Afterwards he went to see his mate who like WWE wrestling.
I looked into today's newspaper.

Goes and get my newspaper.
Fetches my big stick and off to turn on my lights.
Turns on my lights...
Now let's go to work...🍭
I am stood there, and 3 generations of the same family, crosses further up the road, once to drop the daughter at school, and to on the way back!
Some cars are still ignoring my big STOP sign on the otherside of the road.
I am glad for having lots of layers under my big coat, as it is keeping the cold out.
I noticed my late friend's wife goes past me twice in her 72 reg car.
Finished in one piece.
Gets back to Sexy Beast .
Soon as I leave the car park, it rains.
I park further down the road, as I drop off 4 bags for the Charity Shop.
I get a book while I'm in there.
Back home in the pouring rain.
Coffee machine goes on.
Sorts out the washing from the weekend.
Coffee Time.
Carried on with writing more posts of the blog up to lunch time.
Liquid lunch!
Nice and warm lunch!
On goes the sexy lumo trousers!
There was no spaces in the hall car park.
I had to park somewhere else.
The rain is coming down now!
One friend isn't coming for a rabbit until much later.
Out in the rain to get changed.
Winter hat, winter coat, and "waterproof" gloves
& big stick.
Goes and turns on my lights.
Walks back to see my mate who is undercover from the rain.
We have a good rabbit, until I have to go to work.
"See you tomorrow," I said to him. 
Off I go in the pouring rain.
It was getting heavier as my shift went on.
Some of the kids from the High School were soaked through.
My "waterproof gloves" are not waterproof!
I had to keep squeezing the water out of them.
One parent didn't have their coat on only an umbrella.
I said to them as I was about to cross them over.
"Your trousers ain't waterproof?"
"It doesn't help I have a hole in my shoe,"They replied.
"Didn't Traffic have a hit with "Hole in my Shoe?"
They didn't find that funny!
Still pouring down with rain.
It didn't help car drivers stopping in the Keep Clear space!
Finally finished in one piece with soggy gloves!
Gets my coat and everything off.
Back home in the rain.
Takes my wet coat, gloves and hat into the hat to dry out for tomorrow.
In need of a cup of brew!
My Nutcracker family is growing↓
I carry on updating the blog.
