More Things To Go To!

 It may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others - Anon

Welcome to my Thursday 📷💥😁

Nice hug to start the day with.

Breakfast with brew.

Then it's time for the Thermal vest!

Got my bits ready.

Time to leave the house.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one before I left.

It was nice to see the sunshine.

At least I don't have to wear those sexy lumo trousers this morning.

On goes two winter hats and gloves.

I put on my lights,

Now for the fun to start!

Some car drivers don't realise you have to stop when I put my big stick out.....

In a little world of their own, and they go under it!

They have a BOING for their trouble.

A teenager tried to cross on her own over the busy road further down from me.

She gave up and crossed over with me in the end.

Towards the end, I had to shout to one parent pushing a pram, that a car wouldn't stop.It didn stop when my big stick appeared.

It tried to go, but another parent crossed over, and my big stick was in the way.

*Photo time for the local newspaper celebrating International Women's Day*

It will be in tomorrow's newspaper.

Once it was took.

I nipped into the Co-op to spend £20 and get £4 off.

Lots of leeks and parsnips were on the reduced stand. They will be going in the soup for the next few days!

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

Now for a light lunch.

The rain started just half an hour before I was due to leave.

On goes those sexy lumo trousers.

Now for round 2.

On goes two hats, waterproof gloves and boots!

Turns on my lights.

Then I go and join my two friends for a good rabbit about things!

Then it was time to say goodbye to them.

Round 2 time.

Then the rain started!

Good job I had the sexy lumo trousers on!

BOING, BOING and a bit more BOING.

The limbo drivers were out in force!

The cars were going too fast in the wet.

At least I survived to live to tell the tale!

I took off my sexy lumo trousers when I got back to Sexy Beast.

Now hometime.

I got talking to my neighbour's son for an hour in the rain.

When I got in, I had to finish yesterday's blog post.

Then after tea,

A quick look in the newspaper.

Bobbie Lee Gentry (born Roberta Lee Streeter) is a retired American singer-songwriter who was one of the first female artists to compose and produce her own material.

Gentry rose to international fame in 1967 with her Southern Gothic narrative "Ode to Billie Joe". The track spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was third in the Billboard year-end chart of 1967, earning Gentry Grammy awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1968.

Gentry charted 11 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and four singles on the United Kingdom Top 40. Her album Fancy brought her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. After her first albums, she had a successful run of variety shows on the Las Vegas Strip. In the late 1970s Gentry lost interest in performing, and subsequently retired from the music industry. News reports conflict on the subject of where she currently lives. 

She is 79 years old 🎈

We caught up with news and newspaper review with some sleep tea!

Is tomorrow's Hump Day going to be warm or wet one? 🐫
