10/10?

 An expert is a person who can take something you knew already and make it sound confusing - Herbert Prochnow
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Before getting dressed, and breakfast.
It was Heardles time...
The 60s Heardle was:
Now for breakfast and brew.
The weather forecast was a bit hit and miss.
Rain this morning and some said nothing.
On goes the summer skirt.
(No Thermal vest!)
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one before I leave.
The hall car park wasn't open in time for me to park in there. I got the newspaper and next door's magazine. I was trusting those dark clouds. On goes the big coat with the hood.
Turns on the lights.
Let's go to work!
As I stood there it started to rain.
I knew the pine cone back home has closed up for a reason!
The rain wasn't due until 9am!
On goes the hood!.
Cold, wet, and windy!
Lovely.
I had to give a few BOINGs out for those car drivers failing to STOP and going under my big stick!
Finished in one piece.
Back home.
Puts the coffee machine on.
Now to chop some vegetables up for tonight's tea....
Chop, chop, chop.
Now for some much needed coffee!
Sorted out more washing that I did yesterday.
The washing machine had to go back on as well!
I hope that washer can hold out!
More housework up to lunch.
Nice juicy sandwich...
Younger son got a Wobbly box for me from Lidl :)
Now to do the afternoon shift.
I looked at the dark clouds.
The big coat goes on.
Puts on my lights.
Nice Pillar Box cover.
Sits down, and waits for my friends to come.
Friends arrive.
Rabbit time!
I looked  up and my Supervisor arrived.
I said goodbye to my friends and not to be observed doing my job!
One of the parents, asked my Supervisor:
"Are you going to give her 10/10?"
My Supervisor laughed.
One car went under my stick.
The sun came out,
I was nice and sweaty in my big coat.
At least I survived!
Said goodbye to my Supervisor.
Off home I went.
Time for a brew...
Puts on the tea.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one when he came home.
Tea is served.
Yum!
Now to look into today's newspaper.
UK No.1 on this day in 1961:
The Temperance Seven - You're Driving Me Crazy.
UK No.1 on this day in 1996:
Gina G - Ooh Aah...Just a little bit.
USA No.1 on this day in 1985:

Some of the problem was cut back,
However not enough,as the TV picture is still disappearing!
Now to enjoy the sunset!
Sleep Tea time.
Off to a nice warm bed......

Beware A Blackbird Crossing!

It's not what I do, but the way that I do it.It's not what I say, but the way I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it - Mae West
Welcome to aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Nice big of hug to enjoy Monday with.
We do all the Heardles, Poster and Film.
The 60s Heardle was:
Breakfast with brew.
Dressed.
(No need for the thermal vest \o/)
Some weather reports forecasted rain this morning.
Not so much to put on my lumo trousers!
Let's go!
Gives hubby a sloppy wet one before I leave.
I went and got the newspaper before I put on the big coat.
There were reports of rain or sunshine.
I put the coat on with the hood to be on the safe side.
Lights turned on.
Let's go to work!
Normal Monday fun.
Two car perform Limbo dancing for me.
(Going straight under my big stick that was out in front of me!) 
One Blackbird landed on the pavement over the otherside of the road. Looked left and right and walked straight over the road, and looked at me when he walked past me!
I chatted to some of the parents.
Finished in one piece.
Back home.
Put on the coffee machine.
The Washing Repair Man will be here soon.
He is here!
Looks under the sink and finds the washer that should have been fitted when the washing machine was first plumbed in!
(The place where I bought it off, sent their plumbers to fit it, without the washer.
Then the pipe was leaking.
They sent someone back out, and fitted a washer too small, and it carried on leaking!)
The Repairman fitted the original washer and no leaks now!
I thanked him for coming.
Now for the soup maker to come out. 
The factory next door, has the tree felling men in↓
Now for some liquid lunch!
It was forecasting rain for this afternoon.
Great!
Now for round 2.
I played safe and put the winter coat with the hood!
I turns on my lights.
I sit and wait for my friends to arrive.
The same Blackbird from this morning did the same, however he stopped in the middle of the road to let a car go, and carried onto the otherside of the road!
Only one friend came for a rabbit.
Time to start.
I said goodbye to my friend.
Round 2.
Still had cars on the otherside not stopping...
Lots of BOINGs given out!
Finished in one piece.
I got chatting to the woman who does the line dancing for a bit.
A young lad fell off his scooter,as his scooter hit a pot hole.He was lay in the road. I went over to see if he was alright. He was just a bit shocked.
I helped him up, and he rode off.
Went back to chatting, then it started to rain. We moved to the shelter and more yak!
After talking for 40 minutes, I said my goodbyes and off home in the rain I went.
Ran to the house.
Put the kettle on for the brew.
I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Then started on the tea.
I gave hubby another wet sloppy one 💋
Meat Free Stir Fry
Yum!
Earlier on my son used his £2 credit in LIDL.
He had no change and had to pay 7p on his card!
Now to look in today's newspaper.
UK No.1 on this day in 1998:
All Saints - Under the Bridge 
USA No.1 on this day in 1960:
The Everly Brothers - Cathy's Clown
It's been a long day...
Sleep Tea Time.
Let's hope I miss the rain tomorrow!
