Not Giving Enough Notice!

To cut a long story short, there's nothing like having the boss walk in -  Doris Lily
Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Not much  sun yet!
Breakfast with Brew.
I put on a light jacket as it's quite cool and cloudy.
Back to work I go....
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋
Off to work I went.
I puts on my summer hat and coat.
(I leaves on my jacket, as it's not that a warm)
Goes down to see my lights.
They have stopped working!
Back up the road I go.
The circus is in town!
Gets my newspaper.
Swaps my newspaper for my big stick.
There is a new Pillar Box Topper :)
I cross over the road.
and turn on my lights.
Now to walk down to my spot.
Now for the fun to start!
I put my big stick down low in front of a VW van.
It has to do a emergency stop.
I saw his gums banging when I crossed the woman over.
Gets back on to the pavement, he moves up to where I am.
Winds down his window and started shouting at me!
"You didn't give me enough notice to stop!"
I lifts up my big stick and points to the word
"Stop" on it.
"This is my notice!" and I repeated it to him and kept pointing to  the word stop for him.
He gave up and drove off.
I found out that 2 of the 4 schools are off for a TE day.
Everyone asked how my holiday went.
"Nice weather, and didn't get burnt!"
I stopped one taxi and it decided to stop in the Keep Clear space. The man I was crossing over and to go around the front of the taxi.
Next up came  the saga of the Bin lorry again.
One binman collected the bins from the Parish Council over the road. The other binman went to the Bakery and got his rolls.
Chaos happened.
All the cars were overtaking the bin lorry, then had to brake as I was in the middle of the road.
Some kept driving on the wrong side of the road.
The binman who collected his rolls tried crossing over the road.
He want past me, and said:
"Dangerous road isn't it?"
(It is when you park your bin lorry there!)
I thought.
Just about finished in one piece.
Take a sharp breath!
Once I finished, I popped into the Parish Council.
Then back home I go.
The coffee machine goes on.
I have lots to do.
Washing machine goes on several times.
Waters all the plants in the back and front garden.
Coffee time.
Sorts out all the Blackpool rock.
Puts away all the things I bought as well.
Unloads the dishwasher.
Hangs out all the wet washing.
Lunchtime comes around really quickly.
Liquid lunch time.
The sun has come out \o/
Big big sunglasses time! 
Now off to do the afternoon shift.
I gets on my summer coat and hat.
Puts the first set of lights and then off down to the Charity Shop.
Gets some great bargains and has a chat too.
Back to Sexy Beast to get my big stick. 
One friend is ill in bed.
The other friend's daughter is really ill.
Collects my big stick.
I sat on my own in the square watching the world go by!
It was time to start.
Not much traffic and not many to cross over.
My Supervisior arrived to see how I am doing.
My hearing and my eyesight is fine.
I did say I could add something to his form:
"She talks too much, needs a gag fitted!"
I laughed at that!
Finished in one piece.
Back home.
In need of a cup of tea.
The washing machine goes back on.
Sets up my laptop as I am a Councillor course on zoom later on.
Hubby comes back and has a sloppy wet one.
Whereas everyone else has pizza.
I have a salad.
Once I was taking part in the Zoom meeting, hubby goes out to see a friend.
Good hour and 40 minutes of a zoom meeting.
Once finished I hung all out the washing.
Looked into today's newspaper.
I felt so tired.
I took my Sleep Tea to bed with me.
I went to straight to sleep.....
(Didn't hear hubby come back)
Hoping for a better day tomorrow!

Just Not Wearing Enough Lumo To Be Seen!

I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific  - Lily Tomlin
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪
Heardle Time!
Heardle 60s:
My answers:
Breakfast and Brew time.
Dressed.
I don't need my sexy lumo trousers for this morning shift...
Now to leave the house...
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I left.
I went another way to avoid the 3 ways traffic lights and large queues of traffic!
I have 7 layers on, so I put on my Summer coat with my summer hat.
I goes and get the newspaper.
Comes back to fetch my big stick.
Now to put on my lights!
Lights on,
Let's go to work 🍭
One male car driver totally ignores my big stick out in front of me and drives around my stick!
Plenty of BOINGs given out.
One car had to reverse of the KEEP CLEAR space so I could get the pushchair over the road.
One Range Rover put brakes on and ended up stopping on the KEEP word of the KEEP CLEAR space on the otherside of the road!
I was glad to finish in one piece.
Or did I speak too soon?
I went the same way home, it didn't help a large lorry pulled out on my when I was going round the roundabout, and I brake or I would have been took out. As I stopped dead, he put his hand up as he carried on!
Followed him down to dual carriageway,
I soon overtook him as he was all over the road!
Gets home, and it starts to rain!
Coffee machine goes on.
Now to make tonight's tea...
I got it all made and put in the oven for later!
The Top Ten was from 1986.
They play one song from that year,
That I sung along with, word for word.
Coffee time.
I wrote yesterday's blog all the way up to dinnertime.
Liquid Lunch!
On goes the sexy lumo trousers, as it was raining when I left.
I have to leave early to try and get a parking space.
It was raining, and then I was stuck behind a abdominal load, ie lorry.
Half way to work.
Gets to the car park, someone drives through the EXIT gate, and reverses into the last space.
I gets into the car park, and no more spaces!
Drives round to the other car park and was lucky to get a space there too!
Gets my winter coat and winter hat on.
Grabs big stick, and walks to put on my lights.
I meet up with one friend for a good rabbit!
When it is time to start, I say "Goodbye" to my friend.
The wind starts up as I start my shift.
One car failed to stop on the otherside of the road, and her windscreen nearly got hit by my windy big stick.
I put my stick right down low,
Suddenly cars were stopping on my side.
A Police car suddenly parked further up the road and surprise surprise, everyone was stopping!
Didn't help the rain belting down!
Finished in one piece....JUST!
Now home in the rain.
Gets off those sexy lumo trousers.
Oven goes on.
Time for a brew!
Then carry on writing the blog from the weekend!
Hubby comes home and has a sloppy wet one💋
Tea is ready!
Yum!
Then to look into today's newspaper.
We caught up with some telly that we missed while we were in Blackpool.
Sleep Tea Time.
By the look of the weather forecast,
I will be wearing my sexy lumo trousers all day!
Now to get under that 16 tog duvet!

The Devil Wears Primark!

The wife said she's like to eat out for a change, so I moved the dining room table into the garden - Les Dawson.
Welcome back to the Friday Feeling 🎈
Nice cup of tea to start the day.
Dressed.
Nice breakfast.
Now to get the tram down to Starr Gate.
We get off at Starr Gate.
We got the bus to Lytham..
Nice bus ride in the sunshine!
Once we got there, time to look around the Charity Shops.
There is loads and not too expensive!
Got loads of lovely things!
We had a takeaway coffee and sat in the square before we caught the bus to St Annes.
When we got off, it time to have a look around the Charity Shops. Loads of bargains to be had!
Went to pay a visit to see Les Dawson.
Then back on the bus to Starr Gate.
Waited for a Tram to arrive.
Off at South Shore, 
Back to the Hotel to get ready for our night out!
The Sequins went on!
We go and try and get the tram from South Shore to the North Pier. Every tram was full.
I got some lovely comments about my outfit.
We caught the tram down to Starr Gate.
All the small kids lovely my outfit.
We caught the tram to the North Pier, and then walked up to where we are going to have a great laugh and good time. 
Funny Girls Time.
The man on reception was wearing Devil Horns.
"Nice outfit,"I said.
He said, "The Devil wears Primark!" 
The other man on reception said about my outfit:
"Better to stand out than bland in!" 
We have a lovely meal!
Now to get our seats.
The lovely host and DJ of the evening was Zoe.
Hubby went up with a request.
It was read out:
"To my lovely wife who is dressed head to toe in sequins.Love you loads."
Zoe replied to that was by saying:
"They do sequins in New Look now?"
The song she played was:
Now to watch the show!
There was a woman celebrating her 40th Birthday with her friends. She kept hugging me when she want past. She loved my outfit. She bought me a drink. When she fell down and couldn't get up later, I helped her get up.I gave her friend her mobile phone, and asked:
 "If the Birthday girl was alright?"
"She is fine, we are celebrating again tomorrow night!"
I replied,"Wait she hit the Hawaii 5-0 Birthday!"
"You celebrating it tonight?" I was asked.
"No last February, have a good time tomorrow night!" I replied.
While the last bit of show was on, the women we were sharing the Booth, got up. The one woman who was sat next me, suddenly said to me as she was on the way out:
"Everyone will see you tonight wearing that outfit on the way home!"
I hope so!
We left to catch the tram from the North Pier.
Back to the hotel.
Off went the sequins!
Now to turn off the light 
&
 Enjoy the nice bed!
