Welcome to my Thursday Coffee Morning 🧉

Out comes a great Christmas Jumper↓

Breakfast and Brew time.

Time to add the thermal vest....

With the Minion Christmas Jumper!

Good frost last night, good job I covered up Sexy Beast.

Uncovered Sexy Beast.

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

On goes my Winter coat, two hats and my winter gloves.

I gets the newspaper.

Swaps that for my big stick.

Now to turn on my lights.

Oh dear.

Plenty of Tank Drivers about this morning.

(Tank Drivers are those drivers that don't scrape all the frost of their windscreens and look out of the windscreen through a little hole!)

Plus it being cold, I am glad I have lots of layers on!

At least the sun was coming out.

(Not good for this afternoon, as I am going to have low lying sun problems)

Finished in one piece.

Exchanges my winter coat to my teddy coat.

I walk down to the Public Loos and then to the local coffee shop for a much needed coffee.

Visited the Charity Shop.

Got a bargain boxset.

I gets my cake box out of Sexy Beast.

Then onto the Coffee Morning.

I tried 15 times on the raffle, and didn't win a thing :(

I bought a line of raffle tickets.

Let's hope I win something.

Coffee time.

I bought the Chocolate cake :)

I said goodbye to everyone when I finished my coffee and cake.

Back home.

Another coffee is needed.

Liquid Lunch time.

I didn't get a phone call, so I didn't win nothing on the main raffle.

Now out to do the afternoon shift.

On goes those big big sunglasses.

Big winter coat, winter hat and gloves.

I goes and turns on my lights.

Low lying sun alert!

Has a little rabbit with my friends up to the time I start my afternoon shift.

Oh dear, it went from bad to worst!

In the middle of the road, car comes up the road too fast, slams his brakes on!

Nearly ended up over his bonnet!

Car after car failed to stop on my side.

BOINGs were given out freely! 

Was so glad to finish in one piece!

Back home for a brew!

Then it was time to start on tonight's tea.

Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet one 💋

Tea is served.

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 💋

Thermal vest goes on afterwards.

Now to leave the house....

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

Winter coat, Panda hat goes underneath my Winter hat, plus warm gloves goes on.

Goes and get my newspaper.

Fetches my big stick and goes and turns on my lights.

The Christmas lights look nice.

Once I turned on my lights, I could see a whole up near where I stand.

Taxi parked behind a parked lorry.

The taxi moved in front of the lorry.

Then for 15 minutes I had to put up with not being able to see the traffic coming up the road.

Then it didn't help 3 work van/lorries parking on double yellow lines opposite where I am stood, to go and fetch their breakfast! 

Pity I can't clamp them!

Still gave out BOINGs.

Some cars had to break hard as they were going too fast. 

Five minutes before I finished, a yellow van decides to park on the double yellow lines, and go and fetch his breakfast!

 Pity I can't clamp it!

Finished in one piece!

Hometime.

I had my picture took with the signed ball...

The coffee machine was put on .

Unloaded and loaded up Dishwasher.

Emptied the recycling box.

Now for coffee!

UPS Delivery Driver phoned me to find out where my house was.

I directed him to it.

Got my Bell Star!

I wrote two blog posts up to lunch.

Liquid lunch time!

Now to get ready for afternoon shift.

On goes two hats, winter hat and winter gloves.

I turn on my lights and wait for my friends to appear. One friend appeared and we had a good rabbit.

My other friend didn't come as he was out with his family.

I also got chatting to my Hairdresser who now has gone from the Hairdressing shop to do Mobile Hairdressing instead.

I will be needing her magic scissors soon.

 I said goodbye to everyone and started my shift.

 It is getting cold and dark now.

Still the cars on the otherside are failing to stop.

Some are stopping in the KEEP CLEAR space!

A few BOINGs are given out too.

Finished in one piece.

Home Time.

One White BMW pulled out a junction very late and was given a loud blast of Horn for that! 

Cup of brew needed.

Now to get on with tonight's tea.

Made the filling to add to the Peppers.

(I was missing a Pepper, as I did buy four last Saturday, and is left with only 3!)

Into the oven they went!

Later on hubby came home and had a sloppy wet one. 💋
