Right House, But Wrong Name!

Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power - Shirley MacLaine
Welcome to February πŸ‘…
&
MondayπŸ‘…
Warm hug with a brew.
Breakfast.
I got the kids up to do their on-line learning.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet πŸ’‹ before he went out to work.
I meanwhile made full use of that warm king-size for a bit longer πŸ›
I got up by the time I had a text message from hubby to say he got in to work.
Dressed.
Now out for a little ride.
Still cold.
Gets newspaper.
Check on my late dad's car park situation.
Back home.
I have 2 blog posts to write.
First I have the Valentine's things arrive from Amazon↓
Then my Works order arrived↓
Done the blogs.
Even done some great Disco tunes on my Twitter.
Then I had a knock at the door.
A salesman wearing a blue face mask asking for the previous occupant.
I said,"He doesn't live here no more, as I have been here for nearly 12 years."
He tried using the phone number the previous occupant had given him, but my phone didn't ring.
My thoughts were the previous occupant didn't fancy the fancy armchair this company was selling him, and decided to give them his old address. However he did put his right mobile number to them, which his daughter answered and gave them his right address.
The Salesman then left to go to the right address!
Belated lunch.
One of the books I ordered for my neighbour had arrived and I went round to give it to him.
Oh dear....
He was not happy with the shopping my younger son had been getting him......
Then he wasn't happy with the car he has given my younger son, that he hasn't cleaned it up.😢😢
The weather has been against us which hasn't helped.
Plus the battery needs charging up!
I comes back home in need of a brew after that.
I need a funny film to watch...
Here goes:
Hubby comes home with a nice sloppy πŸ’‹
 Nice meat-free Stir Fry.
Quick look into today's newspaper:
