"Are You Going To Have A Certificate For That???"

 The first rule of business is: do other men for they would do you - 
Charles Dickens
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Nice big hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Get's kids up for school.
Then I pass about those wet sloppy 💋💋💋 to everyone.
Now to leave the house...
It was just cloudy.
No need for the big sunglasses so far...
I still put on my summer coat.
Tree Pic.
While I was waiting to put on my lights.
The lambo went past \o/
I got chatting to one of my old customers from the days of delivering his mail.
Now for the fun of Hump Day!
One while car failed to stop on the otherside of the road, I nearly clipped her windscreen.
She just looked back at me as she went past!
Once the bus stopped to drop off its passengers, a red sporty car overtook the bus, and had to slam its brakes on as I was in the middle of the road, crossing people over.
I heard the engine being revved up behind me!
People had to test the brakes coming up the road, as I was in the middle of the road!
I was glad to finish in one piece!
I gets home and forgets to get the newspaper and magazine.
Out and again gets it.
Then I got on with preparing the chicken casserole for tonight....
That was put in the oven for later.
Much needed coffee now.
I wrote 2 blog posts up to dinner time.
Now for a light lunch!
I had my wage slip from my Cleaning job.
Surprise, Surprise, no tax refunded from last month, and they even took £14 tax this month!
(I don't earn enough to pay tax!)
Phone call to the tax office tomorrow I think!
Back out to do the afternoon stint..
I managed to find a space near my Lollipop space.
The zip on my bum bag broke!
Great
I hope this afternoon is going to be lot better than this morning....
I lowered my lollipop stick down.
One BMW had 2 options,
Go or lose windscreen.
It was eye to eye contact when he stopped short of having his windscreen cracked!
One car stopped in the Keep Clear space, so I stood in front of her!
I was glad to get finished! 
While I was chatting to my friend, the lock keyring broke off my car keys....
Great! 
I said goodbye to my friend and back home I went.
Coffee and cupcake my son made at school.

Back out with some 60s tunes to singalong with:
I have white Land Rover following me,
trying to make me go faster than I should.
I take it, he doesn't like to do under 50mph?
I gets into work.
Fixes the hose to the vacuum cleaner.
Empty the bag and add a new bag.
Gives the filter a clean.
Adds it to the skip.
Gets 26 toilets cleaned.
Now to hoover 4 flights of stairs from top to bottom...
Finished off by using my blue mop to mop the floor at the bottom.
I was left a message in the Cleaning Comments book, "I need to see how much Toilet Cleaner you are using in the toilet!"
I wrote my reply:"Looking forward to it, Alas I won't be here much longer :("
One of the other cleaners replied to the comment on how much needs to go in the toilet:
"Are you going to have a certificate afterwards?"
Back to singing on the way home:
Gets home.
The casserole looked nice when it came out of the oven.
It didn't even touch the sides it was that nice!
Quick look in the today's newspaper.

It's Finally Leaving!

Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away - Thomas Fuller

Brew with hug.

Time to explore outside!
Nice cup of coffee to warm up with.

He died on this day in 2016 aged 53.
Light lunch time.
I started chopping up things ready for tea tonight.
Tea at 3.
Oh dear the deaths in the UK have gone over  100,000 :(
We watch the Press Conference with Boris.
Dished up the Lamb Casserole.
I went outside to see if that snow has disappeared!
Hopefully I can give Sexy Beast a much needed ride tomorrow \o/.
Back on to season 2 of Narcos:Mexico.
While sipping on my Sleep Tea.
I nearly chocked on it, by one of the reviewers on the Sky Newspapers.
After discussing the figure of 100,000, she said, the people aged over 65 would have died anyway if it hadn't been for Covid!
I and others put their thoughts on Twitter about that disgusting comment.
I didn't want to hear anymore nasty comments.
It seemed she did more comments in the second part, the people of 65 would have died from flu instead of Covid!
I got some emails about more selections for the council elections in May.
I won't be putting my name down for no more selections.
Hump of the Week is back tomorrow 🐪
