A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life - Robertson Davis
 
Welcome to my Monday 👯
I am still not be avaliable to mount the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 just yet :(
Hey ho let's keep calm and carry on!
Brew with warm hug.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he left for work.
One son also had a sloppy one before he left for school.
I had to test the knee once more....
Gets the cards off my neighbour to be posted.
(Has a good chat in the process).
I decides to wear my Batman facemask today.
Picks up newspaper first.
Traffic lights outside the Post Office and no where to park either didn't help.
Goes and collects my click and collect order from ASDA.
Says "Thank you." to the staff member bringing out my order.
(In that order is some Christmas presents that need hiding when I get back)
Tries again to post these cards for my neighbour. Finally gets a parking space.
Big big queue in the Post Office.
2 metres distance and everyone wearing the blue disposable masks....
I am wearing my Batman face mask.
Two people in the queue gave up waiting.
One man kept turning round and looking at me!
Everytime he looks, I give him the stare!
If he wanted a photo, he only had to ask!
By the time I got to the front of the queue, I was guided somewhere else to get these cards posted. There was a queue of people behind me waiting to pay for their newspapers.
I was glad to get out of there! 
Gets home.
Hides presents.
Gives my neighbour his change.
Now for coffee!
