More Nice Liquid Lunch!

 If you haven't got anything good to say about anyone come sit by me - Alice Roosevelt Longworth
Welcome to my Tuesday 💪
Nice warm hug to start Tuesday with.
Brew with Breakfast.
Thermal vest goes on.
I didn't have to cover up Sexy Beast last night.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one before I leave.
The sun might be coming up.
Still wore 2 winter hats and big big gloves.
Now for the fun to start 🍭
My stick was nice and high, and a van went straight under it!
BOING!
Some cars on the otherside of the road had BOINGs as well!
There had cars slamming their brakes on as well!
Glad to have survived that one!
I walked down to the Post Office and sent off my letter to my Prison Pen Pal in the USA.
I told them at the counter, I prefer handwriting the letter, practice my handwriting!
Even if it costs me £2.25 each time.
I have wrote 6 pages this time, that should keep him busy for a bit!
I picked up the newspaper on the way home.
I put on the coffee machine.
Emptied all the bins in the house.
Now for coffee!
I got a response from the Customer Services on behalf of the CEO of Dunelm.
They are going to speed up the refund! \0/
I wrote yesterday's blog post up to lunch.
Homemade soup with homemade bread.
Now out for the afternoon shift.
I only put on one winter hat with lightweight gloves.
I got chatting with my friend who lost his hearing aid yesterday.
His neighbour found it on her wall.
I turned on my lights.
Now for a little rabbit with my two friends.
I said goodbye to my friends.
Now to start the afternoon shift 🍭
Oh dear, carrying on from this morning.
I lowered my stick, the car kept going and underneath it went.
BOING!
The cars are the otherside were not stopping either!
Some had to brake hard too!
At least I survived!
Hometime.
I enjoyed a much needed cup of brew.
 I gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 when he came home.
We had some veggie meals from Lidl.
Not very filling at all.

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.
