That's What I Like A Good.....

Don't look at me in that tone of voice - Dorothy Parker

 Welcome to October! 🌊

After having a early night, I was up to hear

I made the breakfast and left hubby's in the kitchen.

Now to say hi to them.

Back home.

Coffee machine goes on.

Unpacks the shopping.

Washing goes on the line.

Now for that coffee!

Hubby is still feeling rough from Covid.

So is older son who is suffering from it as well!

I am carrying on painting the front of the house tomorrow morning as it is still sunny!

Light lunch time.

Then I write yesterday's blog post.

Once that was done...

Let's open the cooking book..

Once that was made and put in the oven.

It's Heardle time.

I had a look into today's newspaper:

Making The Most Of The Rays!

There is no such thing as a little garlic - Arthur Baer

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

I slept a lot better last night \o/

(I must be getting better!)

Taking another test tomorrow.

Now for brew with breakfast.

No sloppy wet one for hubby yet.

He went off to work.

I went back to sleep....

Later on the spur of energy came back!

The sun is shining.

Coffee machine went on..

As did the breadmaker and soup maker.

Time to enjoy some rays....

I moved all the windmills about the garden.

I gave the birds of the garden some bread and filled up their water bath.

I goes back inside.

Then I have honey delivery.

The Postman delivered my balloons for Mother's Day and wanted some biscuits for the dog over the road.

(I don't think he noticed the big red cross on the front door)

I didn't have no dog friendly biscuits to give him.

He then remembered I am still suffering from Covid, and quickly disappeared. 

The bread was ready.

Now to try some of that lovely soup I just made.

I spoke to hubby.

Then I remembered to write out next door's neighbour's Birthday Card.

Now to write yesterday's blog post.

Tea at 3.

Next door's son came round to say he will be moving his van soon.

(My hubby normally parks there)

I said "No problem."

(Hubby is parking behind Sexy Beast on the drive) 

Puts the food in the oven.

Hubby comes back home with the newspaper and next door's magazine.

He goes round with card and magazine to see our next door neighbour.

Tea is ready.

Next I ordered some groceries from Waitrose.

We have run out of nearly everything except bread!

If I hadn't had Covid I would have done a little bit of shopping at Co-op or Lidl.

Hey Ho, if I can't treat myself to Lentil Noodles when I can?????

It was getting dark by 7pm, so no point get the food delivered between 7pm - 8pm tomorrow.

Complete darkness out there.....👻👻

7am - 8am tomorrow morning instead.

Hubby and kids will be here to put the groceries in the shopping bag outside.

(I hope)

Getting Lots Of Help From Vick!

One way to help the weather make up its mind is to hang out washing - Marcelene Cox

Welcome to my Sunday (Not giving any) 💓

Only woke up once during the night.

That Lavender Pillow Spray I had for my Birthday knocked me straight out.

The Strange Dreams about Royal Mail started again.

Once I woke up, all the windows got opened throughout the house.

Brew with Breakfast.

I put the coffee machine on abit later.

(I was no mood to get up just yet)

I enjoyed a hot strong coffee..

Before I fell asleep again.

Hubby went off for a walk to fetch the newspaper and post our son's PCR test.

When he came back, I had found the need to get dressed.

Puts lots of Vic on to help with blocked nose.

The sun is out.

The washing from earlier, went out on the line.

I finished off the soup.

Afterwards carried on doing some gardening.

Hubby loaded up his car with the garden waste, and took a trip to the council tip.

I made us some cups of tea, and waited for his return.

It was nice to enjoy some Vitamin D.

Hubby put the meat in the oven.

I carried on writing yesterday's blog post.

We had a roast pork roast dinner.

(too slow with the camera this time)

Later on, hubby took a Covid test ...

His was negative.

Next go was mine.
