Watch Out For That Green Bin!

One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well - 
Amos Bronson Alcott
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪
Let's hope for a good Hump Day \o/
Brew and Hug..
Breakfast.
Dressed.
No time for the daily walk.
Gave everyone their sloppy wet 💋💋💋 instead.
I took some more sunrise pics while I was waiting to start my lollypop job 🍭
I have noticed this week.
Some parents are not crossing with me, and are risking their lives and their kids lives by crossing in front of moving traffic.
They just stare at me while doing so.
I remember the Nanny Mcphee quote:
 "When you need me, but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me, but no longer need me, then I have to go."
If parents choose not to use me,
The Council will put the plug.
Then watch the bomb go off!
One over 65 year old woman didn't cross with me, went to the shops, and still didn't use me to cross back over, and then tried to make small talk about when the kids are on half-term! 
She reminded me of the lady friend of my late dad's......
I finished in one piece.
Now to visit Asda.
People are still trying to get too close too me when I putting the stuff on the till belt....
Glad to get home.
Coffee time!
Now for the bout of singing-along..
I followed a skip lorry most of the way.
The way his lorry hit a green wheelie bin,
(I'm glad it didn't end up in front of me, the way he hit it), it developed wings and flew...
I just kept my distance from him.
All over the white lines.....
I got to work and read the newspaper.
Sir Roger  Moore KBE  was an English actor best known for playing British secret agent James Bond in seven feature films from 1973 to 1985, beginning with Live and Let Die.

I did my bit.
Back into Sexy Beast to do more singing...
Back home.
Light lunch time..
Back out on the lollypop 🍭
Still some car drivers are not stopping...
Be prepared....
Chats with my friend and makes a fuss of his dog.
Back home.
I writes out Manfred Mann's Birthday Card↓
It will be posted tomorrow.
On top of trying to sort out the tea, I try and fail to get yesterday's blog post wrote.
Tea ready!
We catch up with last night's GBBO.
I thought the wrong one went.
Now on to work:
I got back to see Hubby playing on the Wii.

I Don't Bite.....Yet!

Start everyday with a smile and get it over with - W.C Fields
Welcome to my Tuesday 👯
Hug and brew time.
With added breakfast.
Dressed.
Too late for daily walk.
Quick trip out in Sexy Beast to fetch newspaper↓
Came back to see the moon still out↓
I gave everyone a sloppy wet 💋 before I left.
The sun was coming up when I got to my Lollypop job 🍭
Nice picture of the tree before I turned on my lights.
I had the normal fun...
Two cars carried on totally ignoring my Stop sign...
 Oh dear, How sad, Nevermind.
Safely finished in one piece.
Gets home↓
Made lunch for later.
Then back out in Sexy Beast
I didn't know if the normal road was open, so I took a big detour around Bromsgrove.
(Oh dear, How sad, Nevermind....)
Going through Charford and witnessed a van reversing into a car waiting behind it!
I was glad to get to where I was going after seeing that!
Quick read of the newspaper↓

The road I normally take was open...
Lets hit the singing nice and hard!
I gets home at the normal time \o/
Light lunch↓
Back out to do final lollipop of the day.
While I was travelling there, I saw a grey hire car nearly take out a cyclist. The female driver turned her head at the cyclist and carried on up the High Street. The cyclist shook his head, got off his bike and pushed his bike up the High Street.
I hope I don't see any more accidents or nearly accidents today!
At least the rain is keeping off!
One friend who I talk to in the afternoon was trying to tell another friend to cross the road with me instead of trying her luck to cross the busy road....
I told my friend when she walked down to me:
"Tell your friend, I don't bite....yet!"
She laughed.
"I tried telling her to cross with you,but she wants to chance it!"
"One way ticket to ↑↓!"I replied...
Finished in one piece.
Then back home.
My neighbour's book arrived he wanted me to get.It has come from the good old USA!
I finally got to write one blog from Sunday!
Next up was our evening meal...↓
Yummy veg meal.
I still had Monday's blog post to write.
But first, down to work I go...
First big tune of the week↓
The moon was out and a nice orange light from Outer Space↓
I jumped into a hot shower when I got back.
Watched the Great British Bake Off from earlier and I wrote Monday's blog post....
As soon as my head hit that pillow...
Boom, 
I was out  like a light!

With a cup of strong coffee↓
Time to reach for those big big sunglasses of mine...
Now more sing-a-longs...
The sunshine followed me!
I looked across the fields of fun↓
There was some nice baking going on...
They looked and smelt really nice!
It was still sunny when I left.
More singing to do...
Back home in the sunshine.

My youngest's son's new winter coat has arrived↑
He has had his old winter coat for the last 5 years.
Hopefully this one will last a long time too! 
I had a message from my Lollypop Boss.
I'm back next week!
I have a quick lunch↓
My youngest brother turns up with some forms for me to fill in.
He was holding a McDonald's coffee.
"Where is mine?" I ask.
"You have a kettle to make a coffee!".
I will remember this next time he demands a cup of tea when he visits!
I found out why I haven't been having no paperwork from the solicitor as, 
She has put my address as my younger brothers!!!
Next I find out, all the fixtures and fittings in my dad's house is in the price of the house. Nothing was said to me about it until now.
My youngest brother said:
"Don't moan, we got an extra £10,000 above the market price!"
I did put down on the paperwork that the upstairs bathroom the Prodical brother put in, it isn't finished.
He has still put an invoice to the Solicitor for the finished bathroom, which isn't finished! 
I emailed the Solicitor to see if we are going to have the money from my late dad's bank accounts. She said in a few weeks time....
Now she is saying, she will put it together with the money from the house instead....
Great!
I was glad when he left!
I wasn't in the mood for sewing after that!
I got more food shopping online that will help keep down our food shopping at the weekend.
Hubby had a big sloppy 💋 when he came home.
As it was nice and dry...
Back on the daily walk....
0.92 miles done.
We had some nice beef burgers for tea.
Even watched one episode of NYPD Blue...
Then off to work I go with a big tune:
There was a nice big moon out when I got home↓↓
Caught up with this week's GBBO.
With some sleep tea↓
Let's hope for a sunny hump tomorrow!
