Wet and Windy Hump!

 I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time and prevents arguments - Oscar Wilde
Welcome to my Wet Hump of the Week 🐫
Nice warm hug to start the Hump with.
Just about to start the breakfast, when hubby knocked over his bowl of porridge and all over the floor it went!
He had to go downstairs to make himself a new bowl of porridge.
I put on the thermal vest.
Dressed.
&
Those sexy lumo trousers as well! 
Gives hubby a wet sloppy πŸ’‹before I left.
Plenty of wind and rain.
On goes the boots, 2 winter hats and waterproof gloves.
I didn't wait around to for ten minutes to start in the pouring rain and wind. I went and stood by car until it was time to start.
When I did start, oh the fun I had, with the rain lashing down and wind knocking my lollystick all over the place!
I was glad to finish in one piece!
I got my neighbour's magazine and my newspaper on the way home.
I put on the coffee machine.
Now to have a play with Henry!
Hoovered upstairs and downstairs.
Now to take out my stress on the abs machine.
100 ab crunchies.
Found a lot better after that.
Now to add the thermal backing to the curtains covering the small bedroom window and the small window in the living room.
Early lunch.
What's behind the Advent Calender door today?
I left off those sexy yellow lumo trousers.
Now for part two.
Two winter hats and gloves went on.
My friend was sitting in his car when I was getting changed.He soon came over, and we had a good yak up to my lights, and back down to chat with our other friend.
Who did I happen to see go past in his van?
My gold digging brother...
Pity he didn't come past me 10 minutes later.....
When I was on duty.
It may have stopped raining, but those strong winds were making it well cold, and making cars not stop either.
Some cars on the otherside had no intention of stopping even though I had my stick out and crossing the road! 
It was getting well cold...
Home Time for me!
I added another layer to the curtains at the top of the stairs, plus a third layer to the curtains.
Then I put the tea on.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet πŸ’‹ when he came home.
Tea is served.
Time to watch Boris...
Quick look into today's newspaper.
George Baker (born Johannes "Hans" Bouwens) is a Dutch singer and songwriter who, with his band George Baker Selection, scored two international hits in the 1970s, "Paloma Blanca" and "Little Green Bag." He became a solo artist after 1989. "Little Green Bag" was used as the opening soundtrack for the film Reservoir Dogs. 
He is 77 years old 🎈
Dan Hartman was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Among songs he wrote and recorded were "Free Ride" with the Edgar Winter Group, and the solo hits "Relight My Fire", "Instant Replay", "I Can Dream About You", "We Are the Young" and "Second Nature". "I Can Dream About You", his most successful song, reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984 and No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart in 1985. The James Brown song "Living in America", which Hartman co-wrote and produced, reached No. 4 on March 1, 1986.
Hartman co-wrote the 1980 disco song "Love Sensation" recorded by Loleatta Holloway, which has been sampled on numerous records, including the 1989 Black Box track "Ride on Time".
He would have been 71 years old 🎈
He sadly died aged 43 in 1994
Martin Robinson , known professionally as Marty Robbins, was an American singer, songwriter, actor, multi-instrumentalist, and NASCAR racing driver. Robbins was one of the most popular and successful country and western singers for most of his nearly four-decade career, which spanned from the late 1940s to the early 1980s. He was also an early outlaw country pioneer.
 Over the course of his career, Robbins recorded more than 500 songs and 60 albums, and won two Grammy Awards, was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and was named the 1960s Artist of the Decade by the Academy of Country Music. Robbins was a commercial success in both the country and pop genres, and his songs were covered by many other famous artists, including Johnny Cash, the Grateful Dead and Elvis Presley. His music continues to have an influence in pop culture today, having recently appeared in several contemporary pop culture features, including the video game Fallout: New Vegas, and the series finale of AMC's Breaking Bad
He sadly died on this day in 1982 aged 57 years old. 
 
Peter Blake was a Scottish actor. Probably best known as the character Kirk St Moritz in the BBC sitcom Dear John, by John Sullivan, his other high-profile moments came through his playing of a 'Fonz'-type character in Pepsi-Cola commercials which led to a hit record in 1977 "Lipsmackin' Rock 'n' Rollin", Andy Evol the disc-jockey in Agony with Maureen Lipman for LWT and in an episode of Taggart ("Do or Die") as Sgt. Bill Kent. He also had a long association with The Rocky Horror Show playing Frank-N-Furter over a thousand times between 1975 and 1994.
He would have been 73 years old 🎈
He sadly died aged 69 in 2018
