Until I was thirteen, I thought my name was 'shut up' 
- Joe Namath
Welcome to my Thursday Fun💀
We got up early to do the Heardles.
Heardle 50s:
Heardle 60s:
My results:
Breakfast and Brew.
The thermal vest goes on, even though the sun has come out!
Out the door we go..
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I left.
Only two more weeks before those traffic lights has gone and go the normal way to work!
Gets to work.
On goes the summer hat, with my winter coat.
Walks down to turn on my lights and get my newspaper.
Swaps the newspaper for my big stick.
Now to turn on my other set of lights.
Off to my spot.
Plenty of rain,and wind.
Could only put my stick a bit as it well windy!
Few late stoppers again!
The rain stopped and the sun came out to dry out in!
Finished in one piece.
Back home I go.
Coffee machine goes on.
Dishwasher gets emptied and loaded back up.
Pan fried the Gammon and put it in the oven to slow cook it later.
Made up the stuffing to go in the oven later.
Coffee time.
Wrote one blog post up to liquid lunch.
There was 50% of rain when I was doing my shift this afternoon.
I will chance it and NOT where my lumo trousers.
Out I go to do the afternoon shift...
Oh dear, just gets into
Sexy Beast, and it starts to rain!
Gets to work.
On goes my waterproof shoes, winter coat and Summer hat. I turn both lights on and goes back to Sexy Beast to fetch my big stick.
One friend came with another character who was trying to sell her dodgy tobacco.
When I bent down into Sexy Beast, he pressed his groin to my arse.
I suddenly got up and said to him:
"Be careful you might get up with a brown winkle if you keep that up!"
Fetched my big stick and walked off.
Goes to the square and meets up with lots of friends to have a rabbit with!
The friend who is not very well, is still suffering.
No bike racing for him on Saturday.
I said goodbye to everyone and started my shift.
The sun was out....until the rain clouds came over.
Then it came pouring down!
My gloves and legs got quite wet!
No BOINGs given out either \o/ 
Finished in one piece!
Back home.
Changed my leggings.
Cup of brew time.
The oven gets being put on.
Gammon, stuffing all goes in.
Sorts more stuff out in the Dining Room.
Hubby comes home and a sloppy wet one 💋
Tea is ready.
Yum!

Down It Comes!

Rain is one thing the British do better than anybody else 
- Marilyn French
 Welcome to my Tuesday ☂
Nice big stretch to start the day with \o/
Heardle time!
Heardle 60s:
My results:
Breakfast and Brew time.
The weather forecast - rain.
After getting dressed, on goes those sexy lumo trousers.
Now to leave the house.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 😘 before I left.
The first route I was going to go, there was a big queue, went a bit further and went the long way to work....
Finally got to work!
On goes winter coat and winter hat.
I gets the newspaper and picks up 3 packets of Dumplings mix for free :)
Now to turn on my lights.
Turns on my lights.
Now let the fun start!
Just as it starts to get better for cars actually stopping....
I nearly clip 4 car windscreens.
3 boings were given out.
Several cars had to brake at the last minute!
While I am stood there waiting for the rain, the sun comes out!!!!!
At least I finished in one piece.
As soon as I finish the rain starts!
Back to Sexy Beast I go!
Back home I go.
I put on the coffee machine.
I sweep the path free of leaves and pears.
Now for coffee I thought.
Coffee machine not doing coffee today!
Used the kettle instead.
I wrote yesterday's blog post up to lunch.
Liquid lunch time!
I asked Goodle if it was going to rain later after 4pm.
"Rain is expected."
There was only a 20% chance of rain.
I left my sexy lumo trousers off.
Now for Round 2.
It only started raining when I got up the road!
My friend was waitin for me.
Puts my winter coat and winter hat.
Goes and put on my lights with my friend in toe.
Then we bumped into another friend walking his dog. He told us of how a pot of paint was knocked off the step ladder, and it ended all over his blue bedroom carpet.
My friend commented on that:
"If you are awkward, what a way to show it!"
I fetched my big stick and went with my friend for coffee.
Our other friend arrived for her mince pie.
More rabbit to do! 
Once we finished we went outside.
I said, "Goodbye" to both friends. 
Now to start round 2.
Nearly clipped another windscreen!
Plus it started to rain again!
Really heavy.
Leggings getting wet!
At least I had my winter coat on!
Some late braking doing as well.
Finished in one piece in the rain!
On the way back home, there were three way lights going up on the road island I use to get to and from work.
Different way to work tomorrow! 
Leggings went into the washing machine!
Now for a cup of brew!
Then I carried on writing the blog from the weekend's fun in Blackpool.
I put the Pasta on.
Hubby came home and a sloppy wet one 💋
Served up the Pasta.
Yum.
Now to look into today's newspaper:
UK No.1 on this day in 1957:
Buddy Holly & The Crickets - That'll Be The Day
Hubby came back with the food to cover us for the rest of the week.
Helped put it away.
Sleep Tea Time.
Let's hope for a sunny Hump tomorrow 🐫

Down It Comes!

All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening - Alexander Woollcott
Welcome back to the Friday Feeling 🎈
It's Heardle Time!
Heardle 60s:
My answers:
Breakfast time!
Dressed.
(thermal vest back on)
Now to go to work.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 😘 before I left.
On goes my winter coat.
Panda hat under the sun hat.
I bought my newspaper.
Now to turn on my lights.
Let the fun start!
How I missed someone's windscreen with my big stick, I don't know!
She put her hand up when she drove past!
Lots of BOINGs given out.
At least the sun was out!
I had another lorry park on double yellow lines opposite me again!
I had one of the householders in one of the houses I stand in front, had some excess milk, which she kindly gave me!
I finished in one piece.
I go and pop into the Co-op.
Visit the Public Toilet.
Off to visit a coffee shop and wait for my friend to arrive.
Coffee time!
I moved tables to one which had comfy chairs.
My friend arrived.
Now for a nibble!
We had a good yak!
Afterwards she went into the Co-op.
I went to visit the Charity Shop.
Had a yak in the there and got some bargains.
They also commented on how Shirley near Solihull has 12 charity shops.....
Interesting....
Wished them all a good weekend.
Off home I go.
Unpacked my bargains.
Time for lunch...
There was a 70% chance of rain this afternoon.
Should I chance it NOT to wear those sexy lumo trousers???? 
Not raining when I left.
Then it started to rain!
I put on my winter hat, winter coat, and gloves.
I turns on my lights and goes and fetches my big stick!
One friend arrives for a little rabbit, under cover and it rains quite heavily.
Pity I forgot my sexy lumo trousers.
I wished my friend a good weekend.
Off I go to start the final shift of the week in the rain.
A large lorry had parked opposite delivering 7 pallets to the shop opposite.
Chaos and bedlam ensured.....
Cars were going around the lorry and as the cars were coming up the road, there was stalemale.
One black landrover refused to reverse, so it blocked the road for a few minutes.
No cars were going anywhere!
Once Land Rover moved, the traffic flowed.
Until it got jammed up again.
Then the whole road was at a stand still!
And it was raining very heavily.
Some of the parents were moaning about all the traffic parked around the High School.
I had more than enough trouble coping with the cars where I am!
It stopped raining 10 minutes before I finished.
I was glad to finish in one piece after all this bedlam!
Back to Sexy Beast.
Off home I go.
For the second Friday, my leggings got soaking wet!
Off to use that nice new shower of mine!
My older son has now tested Negative.
He ordered a large pizza for him,
&
Medium pizza for his younger brother and his mate. 
So the tea I was going to make for them all was a waste of time :(
I put hubby and my tea in the oven.
I needed a brew afterwards
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 when he came home.
Tea is served.
Hubby dropped off my younger son's friend back home.
I looked into today's newspaper.
When hubby came back, we watched another episode of "Yellowstone".
We sorted out the meals for next week.
Wrote out the shopping list for tomorrow's shopping trip.
Sleep tea time!
Now to enjoy some more Friday Feeling in that warm bed 🎈
