Look No Hands!

If anything can go wrong, it will - Murphy's Law

 Welcome to my Tuesday 😱

Nice warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

It's going to be nice day for sunshine!

I give hubby a sloppy wet 😘 before I leave.

The big big sunglasses had to come out.

On goes the summer coat

(With a jacket underneath)

Now for the fun to start...🎈

It goes alright until....

I'm standing on the pavement, when a car is coming towards me, and the car starts to veer towards me.....

The woman car driver was messing with her hair, and no hands are on the steering wheel!

She then suddenly veered the car back....

I just shook my head.

Most cars try to get me in the road,

Not on the pavement!

The white Telsa didn't stop again.

Nearly had a few near taps and cracks this morning! 

I'm glad I finished in one piece.

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

I puts on the coffee machine.

Now for that important coffee..

I start writing Sunday's blog post,

When DPD's customer service department phones me about the misdelivered parcel.

"I will get the driver to get it and redeliver it."

Was what they said......

We shall see....

My friend pops in for chat with coffee.

I said goodbye to my friend later on.

(I will see my friend later on in the week for more chat and coffee....)

Lunchtime.

Then it's time for afternoon shift.

As I get into Sexy Beast, I notice a DPD van goes past. I rush to end of my drive, and it's vanished into one of factory units.

Gets back into Sexy Beast.

I changes to another CD to listen to.

The Summer coat gets put on.

Puts my lights on.

Chats with the woman who has given me some plants and vice versa.

My friend came with dog.

I gives my friend some bread pudding

(My neighbour gets my younger son some on a Monday, and he got too much for just himself to eat,so I gave my friend some)

We sits and has a chat in the sunshine.

Once it was time for me to start.

I said goodbye to my friend.

Now for the fun to start 🍭

Some cars had to stop as I was in there way.

Some cars seem it quite funny not having to stop.

A few near tap and cracks again.

At least I finished in one piece!

Now back home.

No parcel from DPD was there waiting for me.

I just about have had enough of this!

I asked the Seller for a refund.

The email I got was:

"DPD works late in the evening, you might get your parcel!"

Fine I can wait until 9pm!

I get on with making a Beef Casserole.

Out come the cast iron Casserole Dish.

Once I put that in the oven.

I watered all the plants.

Then to carry on writing yesterday's blog post.

Hubby came home for a sloppy wet 💋.

Dished up the food.

(Ate it too quick for a picture, the dumplings were nice!)

Quick look into today's newspaper.

Another nice full moon...

We watched the new series of "Bake Off".

While watching it, I had my book to finish.

 As normal, no DPD redelivering of my parcel.

Got in touch with Seller.

"Give me a refund please!"

Sleep tea time.

Finding out if I got permission to board the loft, and expecting another parcel to be delivered by DPD tomorrow

What could go wrong?????🐫

I watched a great documentry on Netflix.

Hubby and younger son came back with the shopping.

It reminded me of what happened to Columbia Space Rocket in 2003 :(

Back to the news.

Now to start to enjoy the weekend🎈

 

 


 

Goodbye Dad, Sleep Tight!

The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat - Lily Tomlin

Welcome to my sad Hump of the Week🐪

I didn't hear nothing from my brothers about my dad during the night...

I put on the thermal knickers, as it looked quite cold out there.

I enjoyed a much needed hug and cup of tea↓

 I gave everyone their sloppy 💋💋💋 before I left the house↓

 

 Feels colder than that↑↑

Today's tree picture↓↓

 While I was waiting to cross people over.

I saw two people using their mobile phones while driving...

I even had a convoy of 3 cars failing to Stop and going underneath my stick!

The blue van is back, parking on double yellow lines and on a bus stop↓

 My phone kept going off..

I was sensing bad news.

Once I finished in one piece.

My younger brother phoned to tell me our dad had passed during the night.

(I was wondering if he didn't stop with my dad last night and went home. And the prodical brother went upstairs to sleep?)

My hubby was too upset at work and came home.

I collected the newspaper↓

 Barrett Strong  is an American singer and songwriter. Strong was the first artist to record a hit for Motown, although he is best known for his work as a songwriter, particularly in association with producer Norman Whitfield.He is 79 years old 🎈

 It was a bit warmer when I got home↓

 

 Hubby came back all upset.

We both cried together :'(

Coffee and nibble↓

 First argument of the day with vultures..(Brothers)

They wanted to know where my dad's funeral plan and bank statements...

We didn't know.

They are probably ransacking the house trying to find them!

I already am sorting out the flowers for my dad's funeral.

She did some lovely flowers for my mum's funeral in 2013↓

 

 Light lunch time↓

 We both  needed some fresh air.

Out to do my afternoon lollypop job↓

 

 It wasn't too bad.

Everyone stopped for once!

Back home for coffee and nibble↓

 I got a card and flowers from my Happy Place of Work job↓

 Second argument of the day with the Vultures....

They want to sell my dad's house like the way it is.

I said "No,and what if the other brother who is sitting on his phone, can finish the kitchen while he is there!"

The prodical brother shouted some nasty comments at me.

I told him to "Wind his neck in!" and slammed the phone down on both of them!

Evening meal time↓

 I went off to do my jobs with some good music↓

&

Final job of the day↓

I came back tired.

It was nice to have warm cuddles with hubby in bed...after a sad day.
