Using Up My Mouth Battery!

You can tell a man isn't handy when he asks the man next door how to get blood off a saw - Milton Berle
Welcome to my Tuesday 🔋
Nice hug to start the day!
It's going to be a hot one!

The sun is already in the sky...
On goes the coat...
Tree Pic
Turns on my lights...
Let's get the party started!
Oh dear.....I  sigh.
One old woman in a blue car failed to stop and looked up at the sky for the stick!
Some cars didn't want to stop, one had too or his windscreen would be smacked!
Hey ho, finished in one piece!
Just walking back to Sexy Beast, when I got chatting to a parent I crossed over earlier.
After a hour yakking, she left to get some milk.
I got chatting to someone else for a good 10 minutes!
Got back to Sexy Beast.
Goes to the newsagents.
More yakking for 20 minutes.....
Back home.
Puts on the coffee machine.
Now to water the plants outside.
Chats with my Postman for 15 minutes.
Then my neighbour comes out and chats with him for 20 minutes.
Finally got the plants watered.
Now for coffee!
Nice light lunch.
Now out to do part two of lollipop!
Parks up.
Gets coat on.
Off to get ice lolly from the shop.
Turns on my lights.
Collects my Lolly Pop Stick.
Now to enjoy ice lolly in the shade in the park.
Now to start the shift!
It was so hot!
Cars were not stopping over the otherside of the road. 
Pity I haven't got a mini-lollipop stick coming out of the big one, then I could get the cars to stop!
Finished in one piece.
My friend appeared, and thanked me for his balloons and Birthday Card...
We chatted for another 45 minutes....
Said goodbye to him and off home I went.

No Trouble With It Coming Off!

I have often lamented that we cannot close our ears with as much ease as we can our eyes.
  - Sir Richard Steele
I woke up 1:25am with the sound of snoring.
 The ear-plugs got put back in...
Back to sleep until...↓
 I had a nice hug and kiss in bed.
Now to leave the house...
Lots of fresh air to be had↓
 Parks in Car Park 4.

 Looking Down↓↓
 The first song I hear when I get into the Shopping Centre was:
Started to look around the shops.
Hubby collected his flower for his mum's grave. Which he will put on her grave tomorrow.
Someone knew I was coming ↓↓↓
 
 Enjoying a much needed coffee↑
While walking back to the car, I heard another great song (Which is at the end of this blog post) Gets everyone in the mood for the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow!
