Welcome to my Sunday 🔮
Nice warm hug.
Breakfast and brew soon followed.
I was up early as I was doing all day course.
Why is it you can never find a flask when you want one?
Put the coffee machine on..
(As I am taking some nice coffee with me!)
Thermal vest goes on!
Finds flask.
Loads up bag.
Now out of the house I go.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet one.
Off I go.
Gets there a bit early, as the gates are locked.
Once the gates are open.
I break open the flask and look forward to a good course with good company!
While I was doing my course.
Hubby and kids went to have their haircuts.
Then off to Stratford Upon Avon to have a look around.
Nice ring for £79,000!
I took in some homemade soup for my lunch.
Hubby and the kids got back about 3pm.

I got some nice things to exercise my mind with:
Enjoyed a much needed cup of brew.
Hubby got the tea on the go.

My side of traffic was at a standstill, the otherside the cars had  no intention of stopping, a few cars had to use there brake hard to stop!
At least they just about stopped!

I survived this shift.
I collected the newspaper on the way home.
Coffee machine was put on...

But first coffee!
Looking back in yesterday's newspaper,

I wear my trainers out, so won't have to worry about not wearing them!
Spinning bike in at number 8...
Speaking of Yoga mat, I have one, and because of my dodgy knees, I haven't got it out yet!
Done my 2 minutes silence...
Finally finished yesterday's blog post by lunchtime.
Now for round 2:
No gloves again needed.
Both friends arrived early.
So we did a convoy to put on my lights and walked back to the bench for a jolly good rabbit...
Said goodbye to them, just before I started my shift.
One large van went under my stick.
Going to carry on from this morning.
At least I finished in one piece.
Home Time.
Must needed brew needed.
Feeling terrible, so a quick power nap is needed!
Had a nice warm hug off hubby when he came back.
Tea is served.
