Me A Hoarder?

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception - Groucho Marx

Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Heardle Time:

Heardle 60s

My answers:

Brew and Breakfast time.

Dressed.

Now to get back to work!

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.

I go and get the newspaper.

On goes my Summer coat.

I put on my lights.

Now let's get on with four day week!

Here we go again...

Limbo drivers

(Driving under my big stick!)

Emergency stops

(Free last minute braking!)

Plus lots of BOINGs given out as well!

I was glad to finish in one piece!

Hubby texted me to say the Plumber had arrived to take out the old boiler.

When I got home, the Plumber had parked so much over to my side, I couldn't get on the drive!

The Plumber's "friend" was coming to collect the old boiler. I moved it over a bit, as it was blocking access to the garden!

The new boiler↑↑

The Plumber had turned off the water.

So no use of the toilet for me.

Time to pay a visit to Morrisons!

When I parked up.

I saw and got yakking to a great ex-postie and his wife for a good half an hour.

Then off to the toilet I went.

One man liked my hat of many colours!

I grabbed a trolley afterwards and went shopping.

My younger son's favourite year for music↓

I claimed my free coffee from Starbucks↓

Back home, to find the Scaffording Lorry over the drive, just about had room to park in front of it!

Nice new Erection to the side of the house.

Unloads shopping.

Sits outside for some fresh air.

The Plumber asks: "If his mate had been for the boiler, as it wasn't where he had left it!"

I pointed to it.

Light lunch time!

The Erection looks huge!

Gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋

As I needed to visit the toilet at Morrisons before I do the afternoon shift.

Just about to walk into Morrisons, when I bumped into an ex postie and wife

(Different one from this morning)

Had a quick catch up.

Toilet time.

I got down early to work.

Parked Sexy Beast.

Walked down to the local Charity Shop.

I got two bags of bargains!

Put the bags into Sexy Beast.

I put on my Summer Coat, turned on my lights, got a ice lolly, and went and collected my big stick.

My friends appeared for a good rabbit.

Once it was time for me to start.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Carrying on from this morning.

Someone stopped in the Keep Clear space.

One parent crossed the road, and said to the car driver sat in the Keep Clear space:

"Can't see the words on the road, must be something wrong with their eyesight!"

Few more Limbo drivers!

I told a parent on how I got two bags of bargains from the Charity Shop!

They responded:

"I would give the two bags back to the Charity Shops, as I am a minimalist!"

I responded to that:

"At least my house looks lived in!"

"A bit of a horder are we?"

They were round the corner before I had chance to respond to that crack.

I was glad to finish in one piece!

Gets back home.

The Plumber had left in a bad mood, as the old copper bits he had left in the garden had vanished!

Got all shirty!

Pity he take the rest of the plastic bits↓

Nice new boiler in.

The Electician is coming tomorrow to finish what needs doing.

We had a early tea.

The Bush Is Now Bare!

In the Spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt - Margaret Atwood.

Welcome to Saturday🎈

I was up before the alarm,

As I wanted to listen to "Sounds of the 60s".

We listened to it, in a warm bed with a cup of tea. Later on we had breakfast.

Nice ride out in Sexy Beast..

It's still not quite warm enough..

Time to use up my £15 voucher!

All those lovely flowers...💮💮💮

(That are going in my garden)

Coffee and nibbles time!

Coffee and a read...↓

Nibble time↓

Gets home...

Need some food to burn off!

While hubby did my dad's shopping,

I did some potting of the plants↓

Hubby came back...

We cut back some branches of the apple tree.

We have over 5+ bags of branches to go down to the tip tomorrow.
