Wet, Stormy Friday Feeling!

Except for the Flood, noting was ever as bad as reported 
- Edward Howe
Welcome to a Wet, Stormy Friday Feeling 🚩
Those sexy lumo trousers will be needed today,
with Storm Babet!
Breakfast and Brew
Dressed.
Sexy Lumo trousers went on.
Now to leave the house in the dark and rain.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋
I told him to be careful going to work.
(He was dropping off younger son at work, as it was too bad for him to cycle to work)
On goes my winter coat, summer hat, waterproof boots and waterproof gloves.
I walk down to turn on my lights.
Collects my newspaper. Then I carry on walking to turn on my other lights.
I swap my newspaper for my big stick.
While I was waiting to walk over to my spot.
I watched something that was very bizarre.
There was a woman driving a white Audi in the car park opposite.
She reversed out of the car parking space,
Drove down the kerb, up the road. Stopped at the top of the road, then reversed her car into the village hall's gates.
"BANG!"
She came back down into the car park opposite.
Got out and looked at the damage to the back of the car, then dragged out her child off to the nearby school!
It was time for me to walk over to my spot.
There was a bit of damage to her bumper of the Audi.
The rain was coming down really heavy.
However I was getting well warm in it.
One glove had to come off.
At least I was cooling down.
He's back parking on the double yellow lines,
fetching his coffee...
Hardly any kids I crossed over, as it looked like the parents were taking their kids in the car.
Finished in one piece.
I tried to go down one road, there was a big deep puddle, so I turned Sexy Beast around and went the only way back home in the rain.
Puddles getting bigger...
I put my winter coat in the tumble drier to dry out for the afternoon shift.
Now for a much needed coffee.
The heavy rain is causing problems getting around Redditch and into Studley.
I sorted out one of my cabinets with all my tinned food and pasta.
Hubby had tried to sort it out, and I couldn't find any thing....
Found loads of things and now we know what we have!
Liquid lunch time.
I told hubby at lunch time to come back a bit earlier as if he leaves it late, he won't be able to get back!
On goes those sexy lumo trousers..
Now out to do the afternoon shift.
On goes my winter coat and summer hat, with waterproof boots.
I turn on my lights and walk down to look in the Charity shop.
Have a good chat, wish the staff a good weekend.
I turn on my lights and head back to Sexy Beast to fetch my big stick.
Now to go for a rabbit in the square.
Those dark clouds are worrying...
I wished all my friends a good weekend.
Then I started my shift.
I had some children crossed over,
some were picked up by their parents in the car.
One of the schools were closed early because of the toilets not working, and some children were picked up early by 2.30pm. 
Finished in one piece.
Now home I go.
I didn't go the normal way, as it was flooded.
Some nice bargains from the Charity Shop↓↓
One whistling Kettle for when we have no electric!
The picture frame came in useful as well!
I had a bulk delivery from Amazon to put away.
I had a discount code to use.
12 tins of chopped tomatoes
12 cartons of passata
That should keep me busy!
Unloaded and loaded up the dishwasher.
I put the tea on in the oven.
Hubby comes back a bit earlier.
He has a sloppy wet one 💋
Tea is served.
Yum!
Looks into today's newspaper.
Now for some telly....
Really good!
Sleep Tea time.
We watched the news and newspaper review.
Roll on the weekend!

Down It Comes!

Life is stepping down a step or sitting in a chair - and it isn't there - Ogden Nash
Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈🎈
Looks like those Sexy Lumo trousers are going to be worn all day ☂ 
Breakfast and Brew.
Dressed.
Sexy lumo trousers are put on.
Now to leave the house.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.
I put on my Winter coat, winter hat and waterproof shoes.
I go and turn on my lights.
They fail to come on!
I go and turn on my other lights.
Then goes back to Sexy Beast to get my big stick out. 
Heavy rain time!
Let's do a bit of a rain dance before I start!
My boss came down.
She witnessed the last minute brakers in the rain. One car stopped over the Keep Clear space.
It did not stop raining the whole time.
She told the Police deam this road as two, and I am supposed to herd all the children, parents, into the middle of the road and wait for the other side to stop.What about if the cars just drive off on my side with a crowd of people in the road????
I have done nearly 8 years doing this job, and children and parents stop on the pavement until both sides stop!
She gave me something to put on the wall when I get home.
Finished in one piece.
Wished my boss a good weekend.
Back home I go, to dry out!
Coffee time.
Unloaded dishwasher and loaded it back up.
Housework time!
Out came my mate for a little play...
Upstairs and Downstairs.
I got the washing to do.
Early liquid lunch time.
I talked to hubby on his lunch hour.
Those sexy lumo trousers have to be worn again!
Out in the rain I go.
On goes the winter coat, summer hat, and waterproof shoes.
I go and take photos of a walkway that gets flooded.
I am sending them to the County Councillor to see if he can do something....
I then went turned on one set of lights as the other set of lights are not working.
I went and got my big stick.
I go and have a rabbit in the square with my friends.
I wish them all a good weekend.
Soon as I start my shift.
The rain comes down!
Being a Friday afternoon, I have lots of traffic to deal with and the rain.
Boing, Boing, and more Boing especially on the otherside of the road.
I was glad to finish in one piece.
Home time.
In the house I went trying to escape the rain!
Off goes those Sexy Lumo trousers.
Cup of brew is needed.
Puts the tea in the oven.
Starts putting the washing machine on.
Hubby comes back and has a sloppy wet one 💋
Tea is served.
(Guess who forgot to take a picture?)
It was yum.
Forgot to take a picture of my newspaper as well.
Too much rain or too much Friday Feeling me thinks!
Now to finish this Friday off with another Bond film....
Brilliant!
Caught up with the news and newspaper review.
Sleep Tea Time.
Now for more Friday Feeling in bed 🎈🎈
