Cheers Dad!

 "When you're young, you think your dad is Superman. Then you grow up, and you realize he's just a regular guy who wears a cape."- Dave Attell
Father's Day
I got up early and made breakfast for my hubby!
This is the second Father's Day since I lost my lovely dad :(
Dressed.
Now out to check Sexy Beast's tyre pressures.
Now to change over cars.
Tested hubby's car tyre pressures and fill up for the week with fuel.
Then we all get ready to go out for a meal with hubby's dad.
Picks up his dad. 
Then the fun starts...
Goes through Bewdley,
One tells hubby to go this way, and we end up going the other way to the pub....
At least we got there just in time!
Dads's pic.
Soft drink for me.
Beef dinner for me.
Then puddings...
I had the chocolate cake with cream.
Now to say "Cheers to my dad!"
It didn't even touch the sides when it went down!
We dropped off hubby's dad afterwards.
I snoozed on the way back.
Now to make way for the sofa we are having tomorrow.
Everything in the hall had to be took off the wall.
Kids had to fun trying to take the old sofa out the living room. It got stuck getting through the back door. Two legs had to be sorn off....
Now to hoover up the space where the sofa once was.
Then we had a light tea.
Then got things ready for getting on the Wobbly Work Wheel tomorrow 🎡

Trying To Get It Out!

My hamster died yesterday.Fell  asleep at the wheel - Frank Carson
Welcome to my Thursday 😔
Nice cup of brew with added brew!
Breakfast.
Dressed.
I woke the kids up ready for school.
They all had sloppy wet 💋💋💋 before I left.
Time for the big ones to come out again..
The sun might be out, but I needed my winter hat, scarf and gloves!
Nice picture while I waited to turn on the lights
I began crossing people,kids and dogs over.
It had gone up the 4c in half an hour.
I finished in one piece!
I got my newspaper and a sympathy card.
Back home.
I phone up the Funeral Directors if I can have Order of Service of my dad's best man who died this month. His funeral is next Thursday. She will ask the family if I can have one.
I filled in the card,
I will send it later this afternoon
I have a lovely hot shower.
While my hair dries,
I have a coffee...
Then it was to catch up with the blog post from yesterday.
Barry's daughter phoned me to tell me about her dad's funeral next week.
I couldn't go because it clashes with my Lollipop job :(
We were talking about her dad and my dad and lots of happy memories together.
He is being cremated, and they are having his ashes.
My shorter hose for my Henry arrived!
Lunchtime.
Then it's back out with the big ones on..
It was nice to soak up the rays while waiting.
Blue Sky Feeling...
Ready to stand on my spot..
The plane is being busy in the sky↓
I had the normal car drivers that fancy stopping for 5 seconds.
I finished in one piece.
Back home for a much needed coffee!
