Passing The Llama Around !

Don't torture yourself. That's my job - Morticia Addams, The Addams Family
Welcome to my Thursday Coffee,Cake and Chat day 😍
I had a nice shower before Breakfast and Brew.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before he went to work.
Now to load up the cake into Sexy Beast.

The books for the Charity Shop.
My youngest son is ready to go.
Here we go...
Parks up.
I met one friend walking his dog, I gave him two cupcakes, and will see  him and his wife later on at the coffee morning.
Drops off the cakes, ready for the upcoming Coffee Morning.
Then off to drop off things at the Charity Shop and their chocolate cake I made for them.

First stop was to nip into the Butchers for tonight's tea.
Next stop was a much needed coffee.
Nips into the Co-op for some bits...
A good Private Eye front cover↓
Drops into the Charity Shop and gets some right bargains....

Goes back to
Sexy Beast to put the things in.
I met one friend who I gave two cupcakes to. 
Goes into the coffee morning.
My cupcakes had gone but my Llama cake was still there.
I had a coffee and a little bit of someone's else's cake.
Had a chat with 3 of my friends, the 4th friend was busy.
One friend left, and will be seeing him later on in the month as it's his 73rd Birthday 🎈
No one wanted my Llama cake, it was going to be the 7th prize in the raffle.
In the end I took it back, put it back in the tin.
I left with my two other friends.
(I did try my luck on the raffle)
(I will find out later if I have won something)
I wished my friends a good holiday and off we went to see if I could give my Llama cake to someone else.
First went over to my friend's workplace.
Locked up.
Went over to see his husband at  home.
Not there either.
Leaves a wet raspberry as a message on his answering machine.
Goes home to unpack all my goodies.
Liquid lunch time.
Didn't win nothing on the raffle :(
I got on with writing two more blog posts.
Tea at 3.
I put our tea in the oven.
My friend came over for the cake.
Hubby came home, and had a sloppy wet one 💋
Tea is ready!
Faggots, mash and mushy peas.
Yum.
Look into today's newspaper.
 The cake went down well with my friends↓
