Broken Wings!

Welcome to my Thursday ✉

Nice warm hug to start the day with.

Brew with breakfast.

More thermal layers are going on today!

Dressed.

Gives hubby a wet sloppy 💋

Now to undercover Sexy Beast. 

It is well cold.

Thermal gloves and 2 winter hats go on.

The Christmas lights have been took down.

Turned on my lights.

Now for the fun to start!

One tank went past....

I stopped one car on my side, and it was rolling towards me, by the time I got back on the pavement. A few BOINGS as they refused to stop!

It was a lot busier than yesterday, and more people to cross over and talk to!

I finished in one piece.

I moved Sexy Beast and posted my letter to my penpal on Death Row in the USA.

I got a card for the family of the lovely postman who passed away last month.

Then I picked up my newspaper on the way home.

Coffee machine went on.

Washed out the soup maker.

Loaded up the dishwasher.

Cleaned the top of the oven.

Now for that important cup of coffee.

I carried on writing my blog post from yesterday.

It was forecasting rain for this afternoon.

Time for sexy lumo trousers to come out!

Warms up homemade soup.

Sexy lumo trousers go on.

I have a chat with a good friend when I parked up my car.

She recommanded Dog Oils for aches and pains.

Made both her and her husband laugh.

Wished them well, and got ready for my shift.

Put my lights on and went to have a chat with my two friends.

When I was about to start, one friend went of to work, the other went to have a look in the Charity Shop.

Lots of people to cross over,

And lots of cars to stop as well.

No low lying sun to worry about.

No rain or snow either!

I finished in one piece.

Home Time!

My friend spent long time looking in the Charity shop.

I was going down the road on the way home, and I was walking up with his pocket full of things. I tooted him as I went past.

(I'm sure he will tell me tomorrow what he bought himself)

I covered up Sexy Beast.

Now for that special brew!

I had two Me to You Bears arrive earlier.

One was wrapped in bubble wrap and in a bag.

When I opened it up, the wings dropped out!

Time to test the super glue!

The other Me to You Bears, was wrapped in bubble wrap and came in a box.

I put tea in my son's Air Frier.

Nice easy tea tonight.

Lot of brown sauce, yum, yum.

Day off from the soup maker.

Back onto using it on Saturday lunchtime. 

Once the dishwasher was loaded up...

I had a quick look into today's newspaper.

 Welcome to my Tuesday 💪

Nice warm hug.

Brew with breakfast.

Thermal vest goes on.

Dressed.

Now to leave the house.

Fetches the newspaper on the way.

Sees my gold diggering brother at the Petrol Station.

My mobile phone decides to play up when needed.

One driver all over the road, goes past, 

and he has his mobile phone stuck to his ear when we went past him.

Then he overtook us,

(started to slow right down)

He slowed down even more coming up to the Road Traffic Island, just to make it bit more amusing, two cars jumped into the space that was left between us and him.

We parked in the car park, and now to look for some bargains.

We went into The Works, and picked up two boxes of charitable Christmas cards for next year. We had a look in the Craft Shop.

Next to look in the Garden Centre.

I got a few bits.

Nice glasses pity I don't drink alcohol!

Now went for a much needed coffee.

I had a Americano with Almond Milk, 

As they don't do full fat milk!

Now for lunch!

Now to walk it off!

I met a dog called Ralph and had a yak with his owner.

The only other Ralph I knew was:

Now back on the road, home.

Gets back home.

Unpacks the small amount of things we got.

Now for a very strong cup of coffee...

My son's Air Frier came out to do their tea of chips and fishcakes.

We were still full up from lunch.

We watched a great film...

Now to catch up with some Christmas Specials of Top Of The Pops.

1986.

Then onto 1978 Christmas Special.

I got on with writing yesterday's blog post.

Then a quick look in today's newspaper.
