No need for gloves...
Note to self, take off a layer for the afternoon shift...
Already getting hot under the collar before I start!
I put on my lights..
Now to Rock 'n' roll...🍭
My side of traffic was at a standstill, the otherside the cars had no intention of stopping, a few cars had to use there brake hard to stop!
At least they just about stopped!
It started to drizzle for a short time...
I survived this shift.
I collected the newspaper on the way home.
Coffee machine was put on...
Dishwasher was loaded up and put on.
I thought the blog won't take too long to write it....
But first coffee!
Looking back in yesterday's newspaper,
Which was quite interesting:
I wear my trainers out, so won't have to worry about not wearing them!
Spinning bike in at number 8...
Speaking of Yoga mat, I have one, and because of my dodgy knees, I haven't got it out yet!
Done my 2 minutes silence...
Finally finished yesterday's blog post by lunchtime.
Now for round 2:
No gloves again needed.

Both friends arrived early.

So we did a convoy to put on my lights and walked back to the bench for a jolly good rabbit...

Said goodbye to them, just before I started my shift.

One large van went under my stick.

Going to carry on from this morning.

At least I finished in one piece.

Home Time.

Must needed brew needed.

Feeling terrible, so a quick power nap is needed!

Had a nice warm hug off hubby when he came back.

Tea is served.

Now to pick up son from his job.

Time for the big big sunglasses to come out!

On the way, one boy racer in a car similar to my Sexy Beast was going hell to leather, overtaking every car in front of him.

He came unstuck when he got stuck behind a white Range Rover doing 20 m.p.h, and there was no way for him to overtake it!

Back down to 20 mph for him!

Picks up my son, and drops off his work colleague on the way home.

(Good deed)

Back home.

María de Montserrat Viviana Concepción Caballé i Folch was a Spanish operatic soprano. She sang a wide variety of roles, but is best known as an exponent of the works of Verdi and of the bel canto repertoire, notably the works of Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti. She was noticed internationally when she stepped in for a performance of Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia at Carnegie Hall in 1965, and then appeared at leading opera houses. Her voice was described as pure but powerful, with superb control of vocal shadings and exquisite pianissimo.

Caballé became popular to non-classical music audiences in 1987, when she recorded, at the request of the IOC, "Barcelona", a duet with Freddie Mercury, which became an official theme song for the 1992 Olympic Games. She received several international awards and also Grammy Awards for a number of her recordings.

She would have been 88 years old 🎈

She sadly died aged 85 in 2018.
