I Just Called To Say....

Cherish all your happy moments:they make a fine cushion for old age - Christopher Morley
Happy Lockdown Hump Day🐫
 I had a nice cup of tea and a hot hug.
Breakfast and dressed.
Out for the daily walk↓
 The road is empty↓
 Back home↓
 Hubby went back to work...↓
Toasted some of the bread I made yesterday.
Added some Lemon & Lime jam I bought from the Farm Shop we visited at the weekend.
Coffee and quick read of the newspaper↓

Peter Frampton  is an English-American rock musician, singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist. He was previously associated with the bands Humble Pie and the Herd.

 Paul  Carrack  is an English singer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist who has recorded as both a solo artist and as a member of several popular bands. The BBC dubbed Carrack "The Man with the Golden Voice" while Record Collector remarked: "If vocal talent equalled financial success, Paul Carrack would be a bigger name than legends such as Phil Collins or Elton John." He is 69 years old 🎈
  I sorted  my cupboard out.
The one that contains flour,sugar, etc.
I found some bread mixes that were from 2013......
They had turned yukky!
Made some room now for the delivery of 15kgs of bread flour that is coming later today.
In need of another coffee after that↓
 My flour and food order came↓
 Then I had a phone call from my Dinner time boss to see how I am doing.....
Plenty of making, and baking, and enjoying my time at home was my answer!
20 minutes later, my lollipop 🍭 boss phoned to see how I was doing.
She is baking bread by hand.And getting good at doing it.
I said, "I cheat,I have a bread maker
and keeping the lollipop warm!"
I put all the food order away.
Now to sit outside to enjoy the sunshine↓ 
 
 Light lunch time↓
 Blue skies↓
 I walked up and down my path a few times↓
 Quick power nap.
Followed by the last of the cake I made with a cup of tea↓
 We watched the Government Press Conference.
I was listening some expects on Sky News afterwards.
Someone working in Education, suggested that Yrs 6, 10 and 12 will probably go back to school on June 1st.

Shining On The Halo

Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge
 - Audre Lorde
Welcome to my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
 I gave a nice big stretch!
Now for cuddles and a cup of tea↓
 I gave everyone their sloppy 💋💋💋
(I didn't hear anything from my younger brother, so my dad must still be here!)
 Time to leave the house↓
 
 It's getting warmer↗↗↗
Today's tree picture↓
  The sun was shining its rays on me, while I was stood still waiting to cross people over.
One man, commented, "It looks like it's charging up your halo!" 
I had a few failing to stop like normal!
At least I finished in one piece!
Gets back home...↓
 
 I had a must needed coffee, while reading the Waitrose Food magazine↓
 I put the dishwasher on..
Then for a light lunch↓
 I helped my neighbour with his shopping before I left.
Now for some great singing:
I have a peek in the newspaper↓

     A first look of the week at the fields of fun↓
 I performed some great miracles again!
Plus a great red face! 
Back on to the singing wheel↓
Back home↓
 Coffee and nibble↑
Back out to do the afternoon Lollipop shift.
Oh dear.
One car failed to stop, and went straight under my lollipop stick.
The car driver on the other side, rolled down his window, and said:
"You should stick that stick through his windscreen!"
I laughed, and replied,"Don't give me ideas!"
One Porsche driver was revving up his car behind me when I was crossing some parents over!
One van looked like it wasn't going to stop, until the very last minute....
I survived!
Back home to get changed.
Off to the Happy Place Of Work.
Nice red sky when I got finished↓

 I makes my meat-free Stir Fry.

Yum Yum
Now to burn it off at the final job of the day.
While going past the Offices,
One office was open. The man was busy at work on the computer. I noticed the gold bell attached to the wall....
Does it get rung if they get a sale????
Now for some great music↓


 I gets back.
Jumps into a hot shower...
Afterwards, the plan is to catch up with the weekend newspapers in a very warm kingsize bed....
Zzzzzzzzz
