Last Day Of Work!

It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to - W.C Fields
Welcome to my last day of work 🍭
Brew and Breakfast.
Gets dressed.
Now off for my final day at work.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋
Off to work I go....
On goes the summer coat and summer hat.
I go and turn on my lights, and got my newspaper.
Swaps my newspaper for my big stick.
 
Now to turn on my other lights.
Turned on my lights.
Let's go to work....🍭
It was quiet for traffic and crossing people over as two of the four schools broke up last Friday.
I had parent give me a lovely present of cakes!
Then I crossed someone over who I have never before.
Oh dear....
He moaned about his neighbour having 3 carers a day going in. This is why this country is broken, he said.
I replied to that, "My late dad had 3 carers a day going in as he was bed bound and was dying!"
He soon changed the subject.
Next up was Alceser having too many Charity Shops. They sell too many new stuff.
My reply to that:
"Alcester and Droitwich are good for Charity Shop"
Next subject he moaned about was Covid.
"It is bad flu and during the lockdowns, he travelled everywhere."
I just rolled my eyes, and he got the hint and left me to do my job!
I got another present off another present \o/
I crossed over about 15 people.
Not much traffic either \o/
Back to Sexy Beast.
I went down to the Co-op to get some nibbles.
Back home I go.
Unpacked my shopping.
Running low on my favourite coffee↓
I looked on the web and Asda is the only suppermarket selling under a £5!
I will have to go this week to see if they have got any in! 
I ordered some new garden solar lights for the front garden and they arrived yesterday.
I spent over an hour and half putting them in the garden and fixing them to the garden arches and the remains of the Plum tree.
Once done, we will see if they come on tonight!
Liquid lunch time.
 A nice Birthday card arrived off Esty for a friend who is celebrating her 60th Birthday next week.
Now to do the final shift.
My younger son was coming down with me.
On goes the Summer Coat and Summer Hat.
I put on my lights and walked down to the Charity Shop.
I noticed the first shelf of books, had all my cooking books I gave them! 
Back up the road to turn on my other set of lights.
All my friends arrived.
Photo time!
It only started to rain, five minutes before I due to start, I quickly got my winter coat and wished all my friends a good summer holiday!
Now to do my final shift....
I was given more presents, and lots of nice comments. It stopped raining after 15 minutes.
Finished in one piece.
Back to Sexy Beast.
Back home I go.
Unpacks all my presents.
I had a cup of brew...
I had to make a quick tea as I have a Planning Meeting to go to later.
Hubby came home and a sloppy wet one 💋.
Back out after tea to go and be a Councillor...
Comes back, and the lights came on!
Quick look into today's newspaper.
We caught up with the news.
Sleep Tea Time...
Off to a warm bed with warm hands.

Down It Comes!

Life is stepping down a step or sitting in a chair - and it isn't there - Ogden Nash
Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈🎈
Looks like those Sexy Lumo trousers are going to be worn all day ☂ 
Breakfast and Brew.
Dressed.
Sexy lumo trousers are put on.
Now to leave the house.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.
I put on my Winter coat, winter hat and waterproof shoes.
I go and turn on my lights.
They fail to come on!
I go and turn on my other lights.
Then goes back to Sexy Beast to get my big stick out. 
Heavy rain time!
Let's do a bit of a rain dance before I start!
My boss came down.
She witnessed the last minute brakers in the rain. One car stopped over the Keep Clear space.
It did not stop raining the whole time.
She told the Police deam this road as two, and I am supposed to herd all the children, parents, into the middle of the road and wait for the other side to stop.What about if the cars just drive off on my side with a crowd of people in the road????
I have done nearly 8 years doing this job, and children and parents stop on the pavement until both sides stop!
She gave me something to put on the wall when I get home.
Finished in one piece.
Wished my boss a good weekend.
Back home I go, to dry out!
Coffee time.
Unloaded dishwasher and loaded it back up.
Housework time!
Out came my mate for a little play...
Upstairs and Downstairs.
I got the washing to do.
Early liquid lunch time.
I talked to hubby on his lunch hour.
Those sexy lumo trousers have to be worn again!
Out in the rain I go.
On goes the winter coat, summer hat, and waterproof shoes.
I go and take photos of a walkway that gets flooded.
I am sending them to the County Councillor to see if he can do something....
I then went turned on one set of lights as the other set of lights are not working.
I went and got my big stick.
I go and have a rabbit in the square with my friends.
I wish them all a good weekend.
Soon as I start my shift.
The rain comes down!
Being a Friday afternoon, I have lots of traffic to deal with and the rain.
Boing, Boing, and more Boing especially on the otherside of the road.
I was glad to finish in one piece.
Home time.
In the house I went trying to escape the rain!
Off goes those Sexy Lumo trousers.
Cup of brew is needed.
Puts the tea in the oven.
Starts putting the washing machine on.
Hubby comes back and has a sloppy wet one 💋
Tea is served.
(Guess who forgot to take a picture?)
It was yum.
Forgot to take a picture of my newspaper as well.
Too much rain or too much Friday Feeling me thinks!
Now to finish this Friday off with another Bond film....
Brilliant!
Caught up with the news and newspaper review.
Sleep Tea Time.
Now for more Friday Feeling in bed 🎈🎈
