I'm On the Road From Hell!

If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun - Katharine Hepburn
 
Welcome to my Sunday😳
Brew with hug.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Going to see if my knee had hold up driving...
Gives Sexy Beast a good run. 
Picks up the Overlocker.
One woman in a grey Kia didn't like me sticking to the speed limit. Looked over at me, and my husband just looked back at her!
One white Audi came out of a side road and didn't see me coming. Then he got stuck behind a bus and didn't like that!
I was glad to get home in one piece!
Now to take the overlocker into the house!
It will have to share the space with the Sewing Machine.
(I will have to make it a dust jacket soon)
Much needed cup of coffee after that Journey.
While hubby went for a walk
(Peace and quiet from me more like!)
I carried on sewing my bag....
Finally finished it now!
The pattern was↓

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
It was a good job I covered up Sexy Beast last night....
Scrape Time!

Before I left the house↓
 It was frigging cold↓
 Those thermal knickers were being tested in keeping the cold out!
Today's tree picture↓
 I had the normal fun of car drivers ignoring my invisible lolly pop stick.....
I saw a car driver eating toast,
Another one was drinking from a coffee cup...
I finished in one piece.
Back home...
 
 Done a bit of quick housework..
Followed by a much needed coffee↓
Followed by a early lunch↓
There was rain forecasted later on...
Surely after dinnertime?
Now for some singing along↓

(My dad's funeral)
I had a nice red shiny face when I left.
Now onto some more singing along↓
I guess the year right :)
It was pouring down with rain.
Gets home
 The temperature is going down↘↘↘
 Peaches and cream↓
I had to put on the sexy trousers as it was still raining↓
 The rain was not stopping any time soon.
Neither were the car drivers either.
One taxi driver had to stop! 
I got home in the rain.
 Ex-plum was there talking to his son.
He delivered my dad's flowers for the funeral tomorrow.
His wife is a great florist.
 I had a quick coffee and nibble.
 I said goodbye to ex-plum.
Now off to the Happy Place Of Work.
The good music was put on↓
 Back home for some nice tea↓
 Final job and singing to do↓
 I got back and hubby was sorting out his clothes for tomorrow.
He has a 75 year old bodyguard (His dad) going with him.
Lets hope the prodical brother of mine leaves his knuckles dragging on the floor and not to use them to punch someone tomorrow at the funeral or wake!
My other brother isn't speaking to me after I turned down his request for £500 last Thursday!
Tomorrow is to say the last goodbye to my dad ;'(
