Fancy A Picture?

Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act - Truman Capote 
 Welcome to my Hump of the week🐫
I had a much needed hug and brew to start the day!
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Got the kids up for school.
Gave everyone wet sloppy 💋💋💋.
No big big sunglasses as the sun was hiding behind the clouds.
It was still cold with the breeze.
Takes a picture of the tree while waiting to turn on my lights.
I wore my summer coat.
(I had my thermals on underneath the next 3 layers!)
My winter hat,
My gloves.
The only thing I forgot was my scarf!
My boss came down to see how I was doing.
She said I was brave wearing the summer coat.
I did tell her I have thermals on underneath!
She was happy and left me to do the final 10 minutes on my own. 
Once I finished.
I had to nip into Lidl for supplies.
I parked in the car park....
STALKER ALERT!
A man parked opposite had the eyes for me.
Watching everything I was doing.
I thought 
"Fancy a Picture?
It will last longer!"
I walked straight over to him.....
The very last minutes I veered left and carried on into Lidl.
I got all the bits I needed.
The Stalker had left by the time I got back to Sexy Beast. 
I goes and gets my neighbour's mag and my newspaper.
Still two cars of my brother parked on my dad's drive.
(Won't be long now until he has to move them!)
Gets back home.
Once I have the first coffee of the day.
I read our local newspaper on-line.
The man who was my late dad's best man at his wedding has passed away.
He gave a speech at my dad's funeral last March.
I will get a card for his family from us.
I had washed all the cloths from the past 2 days.
Time to hang them on the line! 
I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Just finished in time for lunch.
Someone posted some leaflets through the letterbox.
Whoever delivered them were parked over my driveway!!!
This is the first time in years the Tory party has posted anything through our door....
Pity it's gone in the recycle bin...
My tabards I ordered had arrived.
It is still a bit chilly...
When I left to go to do the afternoon Lollipop Job.
One white van stopped at the top of the road.
Another van was reversing down, not looking in his left mirror, I had to go on the pavement or he would have hit me!!!!
The winter hat goes back on, the jumper stops on under the Summer Coat.....
The breeze is making it feel really cold.
My good friend turned up and we had a good catch up afterwards.
Back home to put the tea in the oven.
Quick look in today's newspaper.
Now to wear one of the new tabards.
Nice cosy fit, fits all my gloves, facemasks, car keys, phone and a can of air freshener. 
Still having no vacuum cleaner this week at work
I will have to take my Henry Hoover to the house clean on Friday..... 
Now to avoid the traffic...
Off to work I go.
 I sorts all I need to do my shift.
I signs in.
Getting postive feedback on using the Toilet Duck!
No sign of the Supervisor again.
(ill, holiday or left????)
I did the whole hog of cleaning the toilets.
Mirrors cleaned, checked for empty toilet rolls, and cleaning the sets of toilets.
Finished on time.
Back home.
Tea time!
I checked the weather for tomorrow...
Big big sunglasses time :)
Hubby doesn't want me to take the Sunday 8 hours cleaning job...
If things get worst, I will have no choice and do it!
Sleep Tea in bed.
Glad to see the sun back tomorrow 😎

Tries again to post these cards for my neighbour. Finally gets a parking space.
Big big queue in the Post Office.

Two people in the queue gave up waiting.
One man kept turning round and looking at me!
Everytime he looks, I give him the stare!
If he wanted a photo, he only had to ask!
By the time I got to the front of the queue, I was guided somewhere else to get these cards posted. There was a queue of people behind me waiting to pay for their newspapers.
I was glad to get out of there!
