Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🍿

Let's hope it's stops raining!

No walking in the rain for me...

I tidied up the house.

Now for some singing in the rain...

It was still raining when I got to work.

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

It was nice to see the sunrise 🌅

 &

Enjoy a warm hug and cup of tea in bed!

 I gave everyone big wet 💋💋💋 when they all left the house.

I meanwhile had to get my CD player in Sexy Beast cleaned...

 It was single figures in temperature outside.

I soon warmed up with coffee when I got back into the house.

 I even gave Henry a quick play..

 A further update on the missing order.

The company I got my order from, got no help from Yodel, so they are now resending it out via Royal Mail.

At least they know where I live!

 Followed by a light lunch↓

 The sun is back \o/

 I had to ask my neighbour's son to move his car down a bit, as he had parked over my half of the drive.

Filled up Sexy Beast.

70's music time..

 When I got to work,

I had a little look at the newspaper

 Don McLean is 74 years old 🎈

Mike Rutherford, Genesis co-founder & guitarist is 69 years old.🎈

(One of my favourite songs of Mike's is at the end of this blog post)

While singing along with Genesis, I looked across the fields of fun..

 

 

  I had a nice red face when I got finished.

Sung along with some great 1970s hits..

Back home in one piece.

 

 Blue skies \o/

 At least someone found me!

 My honey order↑

I came back from the Happy Place Of Work

and still blue skies....

 I whipped up a nice tea for everyone.

 Off to work a bit earlier as the new series of "The Apprentice" starts tonight.

 I applied for the series of "The Apprentice" in 2011. I got as far as the first round. At least I made everyone laugh :)

Now time for some warm hugs in a warm bed!🐪

 

  

Having A Piece Of American Pie.

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.
