Honest, Just Going For A Look!

If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing - Kingsley Amis
 Welcome to my Sunday 💗
I woke up first, and brought up the brew.
"Wakey,Wakey,"I said to Sleeping Beauty.
Even opened the curtains to let the sun in!
A little bit of cuddle,
Then off downstairs he went to make the breakfast.
I meanwhile, opened all the curtains and windows to let the air in.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Now to leave the house for a short ride.
Pump up the tyres.
Take away coffee.
Now off to see my parents....
I had a chat with Mrs Messenger while she was tending her brother's grave.
I said goodbyes to my parents.
Dropped Sexy Beast back home and went to look around the garden centre....
I found some nice plants.
"I thought you were only looking,"Said hubby after I sent him to get a trolley
 for me to put the plants in.
Loaded them up in his car...
Once we got home.
We had lunch first before I stated to repot the plants.
I got through one bag of compost.
The Monkey Puzzle is sharp!
I have some more plants arriving tomorrow...
Let's hope I have enough pots and compost for them!
Put the Meat in the oven.
I filled out the form needed for permission for the loft to be done.
I will pop that into the Town Hall tomorrow.
Helped hubby sort out the Dining Room.
The people who are doing the loft wanted to do this Friday!
Lol
We have to empty the loft first!
(That's going to be fun!)
Now to get yesterday's blog post wrote.
(If I don't it's going to back up again!)
Hubby dished up the tea.
I published my blog post.
Hubby went to sleep on the sofa.
I looked for a wooden garden arch while he was snoring.
Gave up looking....
Quick look into today's newspaper.

Back home.
Time for a ice cold coffee with fruit.
Puts Henry into Sexy Beast. 
Off to clean the House.
While on the way, one motorcyclist overtook me, done a wheelie, and sped over a ton to get to the island before me!
 Further on, 2 lanes became one, cars were still overtaking me and then squeezing into the gap I made between me and the other car in front!
Gets to the house.
Unloads all my bits including Henry.
Now to start cleaning!
The lady of the house was worried that I won't be coming back on Friday after the meeting I am having on Wednesday.
"I better buy myself a new vacuum cleaner," was the reply.
Raiding those ice cubes as I was getting nice and sweaty! 
Finished on time.
I took back all the stuff I had bought to clean the house, left the 2 tins of polish and glass cleaner which wasn't mine.
Back home I go.
Light lunch.
 
Back out for the afternoon session.
It was well warm.
Good job I took my bottle of water with me.
I had woman in a white Merc, chose not to stop when I put my stick out, and she put her foot down when she drove past.
I'm sure we will meet again soon....
Finished in one piece.
Back home.
Crumpets and coffee.
Now back out to listen to the new CD I bought.
Gets in.
Loads up the skip.
I gets the 26 toilets cleaned.
I go through 2 bottles of water.

Finished on time.
Back to more big tunes on the way home.
Back home.
Nice tea.
Then it's off to have a cold bath!
Hubby came back later on from seeing his dad.
He has some nice presents off his dad for his Birthday.
Including a nice bottle of Brandy!
I was too tired to stop up any more.
I went out like a light....
