Shining On The Halo

Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge
 - Audre Lorde
Welcome to my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
 I gave a nice big stretch!
Now for cuddles and a cup of tea↓
 I gave everyone their sloppy 💋💋💋
(I didn't hear anything from my younger brother, so my dad must still be here!)
 Time to leave the house↓
 
 It's getting warmer↗↗↗
Today's tree picture↓
  The sun was shining its rays on me, while I was stood still waiting to cross people over.
One man, commented, "It looks like it's charging up your halo!" 
I had a few failing to stop like normal!
At least I finished in one piece!
Gets back home...↓
 
 I had a must needed coffee, while reading the Waitrose Food magazine↓
 I put the dishwasher on..
Then for a light lunch↓
 I helped my neighbour with his shopping before I left.
Now for some great singing:
I have a peek in the newspaper↓
 Dave Davies is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is the lead guitarist and backing singer (occasionally singing lead) for English rock band the Kinks, which also features his elder brother Sir Ray Davies.
He is 73 years old🎈
Gwen Guthrie, American singer ("Ain't Nothin' Goin' on but the Rent"), died of cancer aged 48 years old in 1999.
     A first look of the week at the fields of fun↓
 I performed some great miracles again!
Plus a great red face! 
Back on to the singing wheel↓
Back home↓
 Coffee and nibble↑
Back out to do the afternoon Lollipop shift.
Oh dear.
One car failed to stop, and went straight under my lollipop stick.
The car driver on the other side, rolled down his window, and said:
"You should stick that stick through his windscreen!"
I laughed, and replied,"Don't give me ideas!"
One Porsche driver was revving up his car behind me when I was crossing some parents over!
One van looked like it wasn't going to stop, until the very last minute....
I survived!
Back home to get changed.
Off to the Happy Place Of Work.
Nice red sky when I got finished↓

 I makes my meat-free Stir Fry.

Yum Yum
Now to burn it off at the final job of the day.
While going past the Offices,
One office was open. The man was busy at work on the computer. I noticed the gold bell attached to the wall....
Does it get rung if they get a sale????
Now for some great music↓


 I gets back.
Jumps into a hot shower...
Afterwards, the plan is to catch up with the weekend newspapers in a very warm kingsize bed....
Zzzzzzzzz

Having A Piece Of American Pie.

Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat - Ann Landers
It was nice to have a small lie-in.
Hubby is still looking green. 
Cup of tea time....
(In Hubby's case, it was lemsip)  
 Today's hat↓
 At least the sun defrosted my Sexy Beast.
 I left to go to do my cleaning job in the sunshine↓
 Came back for a quick drink after work, now on to another cleaning job↓
 Finally takes off my work hat to enjoy some nice liquid soup!
 The prodigal middle brother wasn't coming over to see my dad.
Plus my dad's friend was suddenly busy going out with her son.
Younger brother was busy, so it was left to me to go over and do some lunch. It was in fact my youngest son that did his meal for him.
( I watched from the sidelines)
After making it, my dad took two mouth fulls and said the steak was full of gristle and left it!!!
 Great!
We came home.
Hubby was still ill in bed.
Washing machine went on,
Dishwasher unloaded.
Time to do tea! 
 This will keep the bugs away!
 
 Beef, mushroom, garlic, ginger with noodles.
Ginger cake with whippy cream and walnuts↓
