Tomorrow is my hubby's 50th Birthday.
The cake is being made when I get back from the lollipop job.
Speaking of that job, off I pop to it!

Big big sunglasses time!
The traffic lights had been took away at the bottom of the road now \o/
Summer coat on.

The fun and games I had again.
I stopped some parents crossing, as 3 cars on the otherside of the road failed to stop and kept going. I still stopped the white car from yesterday again....
Lambo time \o/
Finished in one piece.
I got the newspaper and magazine for next door neighbour before I got home.
Time to add some bunting to the garden.

Now out to do the afternoon shift.
It clouded over, so I had no sun beaming down on me.
The traffic was behaving themselves this afternoon. My friend appeared at the end of my shift. We had a good chat for 20 minutes.
Back home.

I went for a cold bath again.
Then I added the blown up balloons π to the bunting...
I wanted to get the newspaper before it gets really busy with people.
Where has the sun gone?

The blossom is coming out now on the tree.
Quick coffee before starting on the Easter Cake.
Hubby goes on to put the boarder on the wall in the toilet room.

I had a little play with Kenny as well.
The sponges were put in the oven to bake.
Hubby had finished putting the boarder up.
Once the cake had cooled down from being in the oven.
Time for some decoration!
