Woo Hoo The Rains Are Back!

Write something, even if it's a suicide note - Gore Vidal
 Welcome to my Thursday Fun 💜
No sunshine again.
Now to warm up the brain by doing the Heardles.
Heardle 60s:
My son's answers:
(After today, son is not doing the Heardles.
As I don't write my answers down, there will be no more Heardles until Sunday, when I will write my answers down instead!)
Breakfast and Brew time.
Dressed.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before he goes to work.
Then I make a grand entrance to the world!
I get the newspaper first.
Drops off son.
Back home.
It looks like it is going to rain!
Puts on the coffee machine.
Fills up mop bucket.
Once coffee is done.
I just leave it in the living room until I have mopped the kitchen floor.
Leaving that to dry.
It's coffee time!
Leaving the floor to dry some more.
I nip back out, 
(Taking my rain mac with me just in case!)
It's Lidl and Dunelm time!
I gets some bits in Lidl.
I spend enough to get the £10 off the next shop \o/
 Then into Dunelm to get some room spray...
I then go round to see how son is doing at his job.
Just gets out of the Sexy Beast, and it pours down with rain.
I have a long chat with my son's co-worker.
Has a coffee and nibble.
I said goodbye to everyone and went back home in the rain.
Puts the shopping away.
Chats with hubby.
Late lunch.
Then I write yesterday's blog post.
Tea at 3.
Back to blogging.
At least the garden has been watered for now.
I put the tea in the oven for all the males of the family. I am having a meat-free Stir-fry instead.
Hubby comes home for a sloppy wet one 💋
They have their tea.
I have mine↓
Nice and hot!
Hubby and son goes and fetches some bits from Morrisons, for us and for next door.
I meanwhile look into today's newspaper.

 Welcome to my Sunday 💓
I went downstairs to put the washing on the line.
Made the first cup of brew.

My son's answers were:
More brew with breakfast.
Dressed.
Loaded up the car for things for what feels like our second home at the moment!
Got a free coffee to go.
Nipped into Dunelm for a few bits...↓
Now to drop it round...↓
Opened all the windows.
The back garden looks a lot better.
Now to sort inside.
Time for a little Sunday Boost↓
Nice addition to the bathroom↓
We found the Talking Pictures t-shirt, hubby had bought his late dad in 2020 for Father's Day.
The Talking Pictures hat went in the coffin.
Still can't find the calender....
Back home for a much needed tea.

Go On Do It!!!!!

A dress has no meaning unless it make a man want to take it off - Francoise Sagan
Welcome to my Saturday fun of bargains 🎲
We did the Heardles before breakfast.
Heardle 60s:
My son's answers:
Breakfast time.
Now out of the house....
Drops off son at work.
Now onwards to Droitwich we go.
So much traffic before we actually got there!
We parked in the Waitrose car park....
So we can have a nice walk up to the Droitwich Lions event.
Now to look around the Droitwich Lions's event.
I bought a great big hamper
(To put all my fabric in)
Lots more as well.
Hubby had to go and fetch the car to put it all in.
Once we loaded his car up with it.
He went back to park it back in Waitrose car park.
Then I waited for him to join me.
First we needed a drink!
I found all the main characters of the film, "The Secret Life of Pets" in teddy form.
Two didn't have a price on, and the woman made up the prices.
I went back into another charity shop and got the film on DVD for 50p!
Still went looking for more bargains.
Nice single :)
Nipped into Waitrose for some bits.
This was in the reduced items bin↓
There was a nice car in the car park↓
Back home to unpack all the bargains.
Another Minion to add to my collection!
Light lunch time.
Then hubby and younger son went out to do the week's shopping.
I in the meantime had to move about everything, so the big wicker basket could be put in and all my fabric put in.
Got two wicker baskets to take over to my late father-in-law's house tomorrow,to put where the Fridge and Freezer was.
Then I start to catch up on my blog.
Hubby comes back with the food.
Then we drop off son.
I have to go to 3 shops in one hour to pick up bits to take to my late Father-in-law's house tomorrow.
First stop was Dunelm.
Only had to pick up one item...
3 people in front of me, two people on the tills.
I thought I was bad when I go in there, one person's bill was £53.
I finally pick up my one item, comes out of the store. I walk over the crossing to the car park, when this blue car appears, and just drives at me on the crossing, I get over the otherside when he stops the car and shouts out of the window:
"Are you trying to get run over?"
"I was on the crossing,it was my right of way,"I replied.
I must have took him by surprise
(Not used to a woman answering him back)
"That's not a crossing!" He shouted at me.
"If you want to run me over, reverse and finish the job!" I shouted back at him.
He then parked his car opposite where my hubby was parked. I got in the passenger seat and looked in the rear view mirror.
He got out and followed wife into Dunelm.
I thought he wanted another word in my ear.
He is probably not used to trying to get hit by traffic twice a day like me in my job, 34 wks of the year!
Next stop was Tool Station and Screw Fix.
Finally got home!
Unpacked my stuff.
Hubby put the tea on, as I have blog posts to finish.
We even got to hear the whole of "Sounds of the 60s.
UK top 3 of 1965 
3:
The Fortunes - You Got Troubles
2:
The Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man
1:

Quick look into today's newspaper:

Sleep Tea time.
Bed time, as we are well busy tomorrow!
