Shut That Lid!

 Sine I've retired, I eat less, weigh less, train less and care less - 

Ray Mancini 

Welcome to my Saturday 👅

We listened to "Sounds of the 60s" in bed.

Great selections of good tunes to start Saturday with.

Brew with hug.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Hubby and son left the house to do this week's food shopping and next door neighbour's shopping as well.

I went outside for fresh air.

Followed by the important coffee...

Hubby came back after a while with all the shopping.

I had wrote half of yesterday's blog post.

However, I had to leave it as we had to fetch my yellow paint from Alcester!

Nice ride out!

No trip into Waitrose,

As I have to save as much money as possible as my the MOT on Sexy Beast is next week!

Collects my pot of paint \o/

We have a walk down the high street.

We grab a takeaway coffee with nibble.

Someone in a big car dropped off some bags of clothes and put them in the charity bins by us.

Only forgot to close the boot lid, they got out by the entrance of the car park to close it, and something was blocking it closing.

After several attempts she finally shut the boot lid!

Back home.

Finally get the skirting done this week \o/

Lunchtime. 

Then we went for a walk around the block for 25 minutes.

Hubby put the gamon in the oven when we got back.

I had a quick look into today's newspaper.

Now to try and paint the skirting going up the stairs.

The yellow paint let off some strong fumes.

I opened the window on the stairs to let out the smell.

I let what I painted to dry.

I settled down to write 3 blog posts!

Oh dear.

The computer wasn't playing today.

It took the rest of the day to write them.

Computer kept crashing....

I hear the kitchen bin lid suddenly come off.

No one was in the kitchen at the time!👻

I had to have some light lunch before I even finished Friday's blog post!

I got my portable hard drive and started to take my stuff off the computer, when it would let me before crashing!

Well earned Tea at 3!

Back to saving my stuff and trying to write 3 blog entries.

Just before hubby came home,

I had finally finished!!!!

Who would though blogging could be so stressful!

While cooking the stir fry,

The front door handle was being lifted up and down, from the inside, again no one was there! 👻

Much needed hug and sloppy wet 💋 time with hubby!
