In Need Of A Boat!

The grass is always greener once you don't have to mow a lawn anymore - Randy Milholland
Welcome to my wet Thursday.
The rain is getting worst...
5 years ago today in my previous job of Lollipop Lady I too got wet↓
  I enjoyed a much needed cup of tea and cuddle in bed↓
I gives everyone sloppy ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ’‹ before I go out in the rain.
 I have the waterproof trousers on↓
 Still cold↓
One of the main roads I use to get to my lollipop job was getting flooded.
I'm going to get wet↓
 Trying to keep the rain out...
 It didn't help the trousers kept falling down....
(I must remember they go over the belly not under it!) 
I was so soggy after I got finished.
 When I got back, I found out the main roads I go to do my dinner job were flooded.
I tried the third way only to be met with a lake.
I phoned the school to say I can't make it.
(They closed the school after dinner due to roads getting flooded)
I drove back home with the newspaper.
 Michael Robbins would have been 89 years old ๐ŸŽˆ
He died aged 62 in 1992
 Lemsip with nibble time↓
 Back out in the rain I go↓
 It's still raining↓
 My waterproof trousers didn't fall down this time...:)
Another wet lollipop time ๐Ÿญ
On the way back home, the river by the Washford Mill pub was bursting its banks.
I texted hubby to leave work a.s.a.p as he was going to be stranded in Evesham if he didn't  leave.
I stripped off the wet clothes, 
&
then off to the Happy Place Of Work 
With some good music to sing along with:
Hubby left work early,
Flooded roads, the river Arrow by the Washford Mill did burst its banks, flooded the pub and car park.
Hubby got back after an hour, safely!
It was still raining when I got back home.
*I had a nice big hug off hubby!* 
Once kids came back from Coding Club, we enjoyed a lovely mince meal.
I caught up with one episode of Law and Order:
Back out in the rain for more work with another great tune↓ 
 I gets back and it was nice to jump into the bed with a warm hubby!
Friday Feeling tomorrow๐ŸŽˆ

Rolling Out The Red Carpet...

“Give me a scotch. I’m starving.” (Iron Man)
Welcome to my Thursday... 
It was a hard choice of which t-shirt I was going to wear today....
Iron Man won! 
I gave the toilet and bathroom a good clean.
Then sorted out the kitchen and living room.
The rain is back :(
I had some warm Liquid Lunch to keep the cold out↓
 The roofers are back to fix the roof.
However the rain is staying!
 It might have reached double figures,
But leggings are back on!
 I post the completed job application form for the Lolly Pop job.
Upwards and onwards to work in the rain↓
 Quick look in the newspaper↓

I enjoyed Paul Darrow playing Avon in "Blake's 7"↑
It was still raining at dinnertime.
*Wet Play Time!* 
It had stopped raining by the time I got home↓
 Rolled my new red rug..↓
(Just in case the Queen visits)
 At least I won't have to walk the dogs!
(Apron and matching tea towels)
 I went to work, to find it was a co-worker's last day.
He had left some cake for everyone!
 At least we had a break from the rain!
 It's nearly finished \o/
Hubby did my dad's shopping.
I meanwhile was trying to find a fuse that makes the cigarette lighter socket work in the Sexy Beast. 
(I use that socket for the dash cam) 
As normal can't find one anywhere, and Halfords closed at 8pm! 
We watched a bit more of:
Roll on the much needed Friday Feeling! ๐Ÿพ
