I Don't Do Floppy!

        Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? - Mae West
Welcome to my Tuesday 💪
Nice warm hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Gets kids up as they having the First injection of the Covid-19 vaccine.
I give hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he goes to work.
Dressed.
We soon follow out of the door.
Gets the newspaper on the way. 
One son wanted me to go in with him while he has jab.
The woman on the door, say:
"His brother can go with him the same time as his jab."
"That's good, I won't hear the screams from my car,"I replied walking back to Sexy Beast.
"So we have to hear them then?"She replied.
A good 20 minutes they came out. Sore arms, but everything was fine.
Back home for a much needed coffee.
Does a bit of housework.
Now to plan for tonight's evening meal.
I need mushrooms and garlic!
Out again....
Gets some more nice room spray for the bathroom!
Plus a king size yellow sheet was in the sale :)
Got the bits I need for tonight's tea from  Lidl.
Back home.
Chops up the mushrooms, onions and garlic,
Then put it the pan for later.
Next was to water the garden.
I put the things back up on the wall by the front door.
(He can take them back off when he applies the second coat)
The paint has now come, so hopefully the second coat will be applied tonight 🤞
Light lunch time.
Now to get and write yesterday's blog post.
Tea at 3. 
I was doing my research on getting a embroidery machine.
Prices start from £500 to £5,000+....
There were some machines using Floppy discs..
I don't do Floppy!
 My search carries on...
I have booked tickets to go to The Creative Craft Show at the NEC in November.
It looks like the Cake Show is separate this year.
Never mind, I will drag hubby around to acquire yet more craft crap!
Hubby comes back for sloppy wet 😘
Tea is served!
Pasta with lots of garlic and mushrooms.
I had a quick look in the newspaper afterwards.

She came to prominence in the mid-1980s, releasing four singles that entered the Top 40 charts in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s, including "Marlene on the Wall", "Left of Center", "Luka" and "No Cheap Thrill". "Tom's Diner", which was originally released as an a cappella recording on Vega's second album, Solitude Standing (1987), was remixed in 1990 as a dance track by English electronic duo DNA with Vega as featured artist, and it became a Top 10 hit in over five countries.
 She is 62 years old 🎈
