Spreading The Friday Feeling!

There are some people who want to throw their arms round you simply because it is Christmas; there are other people who want to strangle you simply because it is Christmas.

Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈

Heardle Time:

Heardle 60s:

My answers:

Breakfast and Brew.

Thermal Vest goes on.

Plus a bit of sequin and Christmas Jumper!

Now to leave the house....

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 😘 before I left.

On goes two Winter Hats, Winter Coat and winter gloves.

I got the newspaper.

I collected my big stick.

Now to turn on my lights. 

Now let's go to work...🍭

Still having car drivers not stopping.

Plenty of BOINGs given out.

It didn't help that was a pile of dog poop on the pavement over the road where I stand in the afternoon.

I was warning the parents about it before I crossed.

Some kids still managed to walk into it.

I had to put up with late braking of cars.

Some left it really late to stop!

Finished in one piece.

 I told the Clerk at the Parish Council about the dog poop.

She replied, "I always clean up after everyone, including dogs!"

I left and off to Dunelm I went.

I got the thermal linings for the kitchen curtain.

Back home.

On goes the coffee machine.

Dishwasher was unloaded and loaded up.

Now for that coffee...

I pinned the pair of thermal linings to the Kitchen curtain.

(They cover the kitchen door and one window)

That took a whole morning to take down, attach and put back up!

In need of some liquid refreshment!

Now to do the final afternoon shift.

On goes my Winter hats, Winter coat and gloves.

I turns on my lights.

I went down to the local Charity Shop...

I got some nice things...↓

Then I chat with one friend, as my other friend was running late.

We had a good rabbit....

I wished him a good weekend and I started my final shift of the week.

The cars over the otherside of the road was stopping in the KEEP CLEAR space, which I had trouble crossing the children over with no room for them to cross!

A few BOINGs were handed out for good measure!

At least I finished in one piece!

Back home I go.

Time for a brew!

Out comes the Air Fryer to do the Fish and Chips.

Hubby comes home and has a sloppy wet one 💋

Tea is ready.

Yum!

Hubby went to do four days food shopping.

 Welcome to my warm Hump of the Week 🐫

Heardle time!

Heardle 60s:

Son hadn't done his heardles, and by the time he had done them, I forgot to take a pic of them!

Do'h!

Time for some breakfast with brew.

Dressed.

I got to watering the plants in the garden before it got too warm.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 😘 before he went to work.

Now for a little ride in Sexy Beast. 

Gets the newspaper.

While waiting for the traffic lights to change to green, the car in front must be colourblind, he drove straight through the red light!

Dropped off younger son.

Then off to Bromsgrove.

I had to wait for it open.

That would look nice in my late Father-in-law's garden!

The doors were finally opened.

Half priced garden lights.....

Someone said to me as I was pushing my trolley,

"Hope you have left some for other people!"

I pointed to the loads left on the shelf,

"Of course, I have left loads!"

After paying for them, and loading them up in Sexy Beast. I visit Aldi and gets more bargains.

Final stop was to pick up my paint from Hughes.

There was something going on a the Palace Theatre, as everyone was parking anywhere, including the pavement!

Back home.

Put the coffee maker on.

Put all my lights out in the garden.

Even the bargain from Aldi went out.

Coffee time.

Had a chat with the Postman.

Must be getting old, no post for me,

But plenty for the kids!

The shade was disappearing....

I quickly repotted a plant I bought earlier.

One gnome went with windmills.

Time for a light lunch.

Now to get yesterday's blog post wrote.

I had Tea at 3.

I just finished writing the blog post,

When hubby walked through the front door.

He had a sloppy wet one 😘

Tea is served up.

I slept on top of the duvet.

 Welcome to my Hot Feeling Tuesday 💟

I was awake at 5am.

Cold shower.

Downstairs to enjoy a brew...

Back upstairs just as the alarm was going off.

Opened the curtains↓

I'm glad it's a bit cloudy.

Now out for some fresh air!

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one 😘

Puts on my summer coat.

Gets my neighbour's magazine and my newspaper.

Nice bit of parking on double yellow lines on each side of the road↓

The X19 bus just about got through the Gap!

Collected my big stick, and went up the road to turn on my lights.

Turns on my lights.

Now to Rock and Roll...🍭

I was glad it was cloudy...

A few BOINGs had to be given out.

One car does the Limbo dance under my stick.

The Audi afterwards does the same, but not before he received a BOING and looking up while I did it!

Finished in one piece.

Back home.

Put the coffee maker on.

I have a blood test in 2 hours.

Tried to sit outside,

It was too warm!

Back inside with the fan on!

Sorted out what we are having for tea.

Off I go for the blood test.

Only waits 5 minutes.

In and out and back home!

Light lunch

Then back out to round 2:

Even hotter when I get to work!

On goes my Summer coat.

Turn on my lights.

Buys my ice lolly.

Collects my big stick.

Off to sit in the park!

My view:

Who did I see coming out of the road, at the end of the park?

My younger Gold Digging Younger Brother in his white van. I could tell he was looking at me when he went past.

I have nothing to say to him at all!

One friend appeared and shared a doughnut with me, however it had the hole but no jam was in it!

We had a good rabbit like you do!

Once it was nearly time to start.

I said goodbye to my friend.

Now for an action packed second half!

One red BMW tried to speed past me, until my big stick came out and it had to stop!

I mentioned where I be wearing ice cubes to one dad, and he looked round at me when he got across the road!

One man gave me a compliment about he good I do the job.

He said,"I come from Worcester everyday, and go through Inkberrow. The Lollypop lady has no clue on stopping the traffic like you do. You just stick in out! I saw you this morning stopping the traffic!"

I thanked him for his compliment.

Few more BOINGs handed out as well.

It was trying to rain...

I loved every drop of rain...

It didn't rain much....

But I needed every drop!

Just as I got finished,

I got chatting to someone about the plums in his garden.

He has 300 plums in his garden.

I told him, "My Bramley Apple Tree is heaving wiht apples this year, only 2 years ago, I made 38 apple pies, and still had loads of apples left over.Had to keep getting the pastry from all the supermarkets. One freezer is still full of them."

Then he said this to me

"What's worst than finding a worm in your apple?"

"Don't know," I replied.

"When you chew into an apple and only find half a worm!"

I laughed at that!

Then we got into talking about Pear Trees, Gooseberries, and cherries for 20 minutes.

I said goodbye to him.

And back to Sexy Beast I go.

Then back home I go.

Puts the tea in the oven.

Get's yesterday's blog post wrote.
