Back On The Saddle!

Some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue - David Brent, The Office

Welcome to my wet Tuesday ⛆

Warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

It looks like the rain is coming in this afternoon.

So the sexy lumo trousers be out later on.

Dressed.

I gives hubby a wet sloppy 😘 before I leave.

Far too cold to wear the Summer coat.

On goes the winter coat with gloves!

I turned on my lights.

Now for the fun to start...🍭

Car drivers were having to slam their brakes on a bit more this morning.

I just lower my stick, and on goes their brakes!

A few banging of the gums.....

At least I finished in one piece!

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

Puts on the coffee machine.

Now to drag the spin bike into the Living room.

Put a good film on to watch while spinning...

Warms the muscles up and start spinning for 25 minutes!

Cooled down.

Now for coffee!

Now to write yesterday's blog up to lunchtime.

Lunchtime.

Those sexy lumo trousers were put on before I left....

On goes the winter coat, gloves, and boots.

I puts on my lights.

Then it starts to rain!

Not just light rain, but heavy rain.

I have a chat with my friend before I start.

Now to have more fun in the rain!

I'm glad I have my boots and gloves on!

Car drivers were leaving it late to brake again!

At least I finished in one piece, and just a bit damp!

Back home in the rain I go.

Gets out of my sexy lumo trousers.

Much needed hot coffee is needed!

Time to get the tea under way.

Lots of chopping up.

Puts it all the oven.

Hubby comes home has a sloppy wet 💋.

Veggie tea tonight.

Yum

We watched the rest of the Irishman film.

I looked in the today's newspaper.

We finished watching The Irishman.

Now for some Sleep Tea.

Hoping I will have a sunny Hump Day tomorrow 🐫

Welcome to my Thursday...

I heard the rain outside...

(Going to have wear those sexy lumo trousers again!)

I enjoyed my first hug and my first cup of tea↑

I gave everyone their sloppy 💋💋💋

Sexy yellow trousers on!

Dark and wet time↓

Time to start the morning's 🍭

Oh dear it's going to be one of THOSE days!

I was stood in the middle of the road. A woman driver didn't want to wait 20 seconds for me to go back on the pavement. She hit the accelerator and nearly took off my arm!

Great!

Once I got finished, I was walking back to my car, when I got talking to the local PSCO in his Police van. I finally finishing talking after one hour and twenty minutes!

I had to hurry back home.

One very quick coffee and salad.

Quick singing session to work I go↓

Quick look in the newspaper↓

Joe Dante, Film Director, (Matinee, Twilight Zone, Police Squad, Gremlins) is 73 years old 🎈

It's still raining!

More singing along on the way home..

Nice takeaway coffee after I filled up.

The yellow lumo trousers have to be put back on again. As it is still raining.

I get started in my lolly 🍭 job.

I just am returning back to the pavement, the male driver puts his foot on the
accelerator, he sees me, slams his foot then on the brake! The front of the car was two inches away from me!

When I got on the pavement, he then started waving his arms at me, blaming me for being in the road!

Second attempt of trying to run me over today!

I finally finish my shift in one piece!

I gets home, gets changed.

Off to the Happy Place of Work.

Anyone fancy cake?

More singing to be done↓

I gets home to put on the tea..

Nice mince casserole↓

Then off to work to burn it off:

We will party tomorrow↑

Gets back home.

I cover up the Sexy Beast, as it going to get really cold tomorrow....
