Pump It Up!

Be aware that a halo has to fall only a few inches to be a noose - Dan McKinnon

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Thermal vest going on.

Dressed.

Gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before I leave.

Time for those big big sunglasses come out!

Still had to wear my gloves.....

Nice sunrise.

Puts on my lights...

Let's go to work...🍭

It was so nice to see the sun back!

Until the clouds covered it up!

Some drivers find is so funny not to stop...

Let's hope they don't chance it too often!

Finished in one piece.

I nipped into Co-op to get some top up shopping until Friday.

(I save £9.50 on my shopping too :)) 

I got the newspaper and my neighbour's magazine on the way home.

Coffee machine gets put on.

Puts the shopping away.

Into some lighter clothing..

Now to play with the new toy!

I did a great 20 minutes session on it.

Now for the Spin bike to come out for 15 minutes...

Felt better after that.

Washed and changed.

Coffee time.

Now to get yesterday's blog post wrote.

All the way to lunchtime!

My neighbour showed off his new mobility scooter, that now folds up itself.

I gives him his magazine.

Light lunch.

Now out for Part 2 in the sunshine!

No need for gloves.

Puts on my lights.

It's going to be fun with low lying sun dazzling the car drivers when they come up the road.....Then the yellow peril is whipping out my big lollipop stick!

I only had one friend to rabbit with.

(The other friend was probably taking his sister shopping)

I said goodbye to my friend.

Now for Part 2.

I was surprised how this afternoon went!

Not a lot of cars were going under my stick!

Hometime for me!

More good music to sing along with:

I got the tea all done.

In the oven it went....

Now for a much needed brew!

I looked the long range forecast for next week, especially next Friday...

It's going to feel like -9c and snow will be appearing in the afternoon.

Triple layers of thermals....and a spade to dig out Sexy Beast! 

I gives hubby another wet sloppy 💋.

Time to dish up the grub!

Chicken and Vegetables Casserole.

Quick look into today's newspaper

Getting Ready To Go Back!

 Rain is one thing the British do better than anybody else -

 Marilyn French

Welcome to my Halloween 👻

It was nice to have a lie-in...

Lots of rain going on outside...

Nice hug with brew.

Breakfast.

My watch has a button that has stopped working to put back the hour and minutes back!

I bought this watch four years ago...

Speaking of four years ago.

I had a major accident which involved my achilles tendon snapping off, breaking a bone in my foot. 8 months off work, learnt to walk again. 

The NHS,family and some good friends help me get better a lot quicker!

As soon as I got back to work at my old lollipop job, 

(I did 21/2 weeks before I broke up for the 6 weeks school holidays)

Then I was made redundant from it :(

At least I have another lollipop job to do....:)

One minute raining heavily, then it stops...

I put my lollipop stuff in the car ready for tomorrow. 🍭 

Coffee time.

Washing machine went on.

My hunt for a simple watch was on.

I was not going to get a £350 watch....

I don't need the bells and whistles......

At least a good DVD boxset arrived.

One son filled out his application to get a Passport.

(He is going on a Foreign School Trip next year)

I sorted it out.

The other son needed a Scientific Calculator for his A level Maths and Chemisty.

I got that for him.

I finally found a watch that wasn't in the £££££'s.

Lunchtime.

Now to watch Red 2.

Really Great Film :)

After watching it.

Time to write my blog post from yesterday!

Then it was time for showers for everyone!

Tea time.

Then to watch the first disc of the Kenny Everett boxset that was delivered today...

George Harrison's "Something" is released by the Beatles as a single in UK, his first "A" side in 1969.

Dame Shirley Bassey did a good cover of it...

Sleep Tea Time.

Back on the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow.

(Hopefully without all the rain we have had today)

 

 

 

 
 

 

Off It Goes!

I've got hair in my mouth.That takes me back - Lily Savage

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

I had a nice warm hug.

Brew with breakfast.

As hubby had a day off, we both cuddled each other.

I then got up, dressed.

(I left hubby in bed.)

I put on the coffee machine. 

Now to get the newspaper and next door's magazine.

I got back, and take up a cup of coffee to Sleeping Beauty upstairs.

Then I have my much needed coffee.

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Then it was time to have my hair cut.

(Getting far too long)

I had a good natter in the hairdressers...

Felt 2 stone had been lifted off my head!

Then into Co-op for some supplies.

Then back home for lunch.

Now to watch some telly!

We finished watching series 3 of Kenny Everett.

(I do hope they reshow series 4)

(After series 4 he moved to BBC)

Now for some more music...

Tea time.

Time for a bit of Netflix

We watched two episodes:

1:Hoop Schemes

A gambler and players involved in a 1994 Arizona State basketball point-shaving describe how and why they plotted to fix games for a payoff.
2:Need for Weed.

Hippie and small-time pot dealer Randy Lanier funds his passion for auto racing by taking his weed racket to new heights.

I had a look in today's newspaper.

"Rebel Without a Cause", directed by Nicholas Ray, starring James Dean and Natalie Wood, is released in 1955.

Sleep Tea time.

Off to a very warm Teddy Bed!
