Crazy Drivers Are Back Again!

There's no room for amateurs, even in crossing the street 
- George Segal, on New York
Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Breakfast and Brew.
Dressed.
Now out of the door.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 😘.
I had to park in the car park opposite as the Village Hall car park wasn't open.
On goes the Winter coat, summer hat, gloves,
&
Big big sunglasses.
I walk down to turn on my lights.
I gets the newspaper.
The gates are now open.
Moves Sexy Beast.
Gets my big stick out.
Now off to turn on my other lights.
Now to go to my spot...🍭
It was quiet for a bit, as the High School was having TE day.
I got chatting with the parents and children.
One SUV drove straight under my raised stick!
"BOING" he received.
Still had cars on the otherside weren't stopping.
I survived this shift.
Back to Sexy Beast.
I got changed and popped into the Village Hall for two agendas for tomorrow meetings.
Back home I go.
Coffee time.
Sorts out some Council Business.
Sends some ideas for next year's 80th Anniversary of D - Day.
Cuts up Halloween cake for my 4 friends.
My dress for Rememberance Day arrived.
Liquid lunch.
Has a text from younger son about having a melt down at work.
I have a quick chat with hubby on his lunch break.
Then off out I go.
Pops into see son.
He is alright now.
I bump into my lovely friend who I used to work with at Royal Mail.I give him a big,big, hug as I haven't seen him in ages.
He is visiting Scotland on a Coach next month just before his Birthday.
I wished him a lovely time.
On the way out, I saw a Councillor on the Poppy Stand. I got a lanyard and a poppy to add to it.
Got chatting about the house next door.
Then off I went, back to work.
I visited the War Memorial, as it was cleaned last week.
(Someone told me this morning)

I walked back to Sexy Beast.
I got on my winter coat, summer hat, and big big sunglasses.
A good Pillar Box topper appeared:
I dropped some cake around to my friends, turned on the lights, and walked down to the Charity Shop.
I had a yak and look around.
(Didn't buy nothing)
Says goodbye to everyone.
Turns on my other lights.
Gives a piece of cake to my friend.
Gets big stick out and off to the square we went.
I had chat with one of the mothers.
Then I say goodbye to everyone and has to put up with the low lying sun.
Then I have two vans blocking my view of cars coming up the road.
The Traffic Warden told to move, 
It did to the opposite side on double yellow lines and on a bus stop. The van then moved and parked on the live single line further down the road which you can't park on between 3pm - 4pm.
The Traffic Warden ticketed a red car that was parked on the live line earlier and got abuse for giving them a ticket.
My fun carried on.
Nearly hit a windscreen as a car drove straight under/around my raised stick.
One car slammed his brakes on, causing smoke to come from his wheels and made a nasty skid mark on the road when they stopped!
My other friend appeared towards the end of my shift.
Once I finished, we walked over to Sexy Beast.
I gave him, his piece of Halloween cake.
I told him to be a bit earlier tomorrow.
I wished him a good evening.
On the way home, I followed an ex-Councillor.
He kept looking at me in his mirror as his car was veering to the left a lot. He went off down a side road. I was worrying he was going to follow me home!
Cup of brew time.
I wrote two blog posts.
Tea time.
Then to read today's newspaper.
I had a parcel of mine, pushed through the letterbox.
Must have been posted to one of the factory units.
I'm glad I finally got it, as what's inside is needed for Sunday!
Got some more Council work done.
Caught up with the news and newspaper review.
Sleep tea time.
Early night needed.
Just as I was going to sleep,
Younger son came through the front door...
Zzzzzzzz.

Gone! Just Like Magic!

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy - Spike Milligan.
Welcome to my Monday Motivation 😄
Breakfast and Brew.
(With my new Monday cup!)
Dressed.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before he goes to work.
On goes the poppy on my jacket ↓
As I am on the way out, I had a workman ask to move my car over the drive a bit.
I told him I was on the way out and you can use the drive. He was here to remove all the bamboo from next door's garden. I will park on the road when I come back.
Off I went....
I parked in the Co-op car park.
(There is only a 90 minute parking allowed)
I dropped the big bag of Dvds at the Charity Shop.
The actual buildings which includes the Charity Shop was  up for auction last week, someone bought it instead of it going for auction↓↓
I got a nice Robin scarf and a mini-cupcake baking tin↓↓
I chatted with a parent on the way back to Sexy Beast.
Picked up my shopping bag from Sexy Beast and went to get my newspaper and other bargains from the Co-op.
Back home I go.
I parked on the road.
The workman were outside.
"Finished? That was quick!"
They all laughed.
I may one a cup of tea.
I unpacked my bargains and shopping.
Cup of coffee time.
I wrote one blog post from last week.
Listened to Pick of the Pops from 1967 and 1979.
No liquid lunch today.
I chatted with hubby on his lunch break.
Back to writing yesterday's blog post.
Published last Monday's blog post.
Now to make some cake....
Out comes Kenny the Kenwood....
Goes in the oven.
Cup of Brew needed...
The workman thanked me for giving him a cup of tea.
After they left, I put Sexy Beast back on the drive. 
Let's have a look at the garden next door!
One bit of bamboo left!
 
Looking good :)
I got one cake tin out of the oven.
One left to bake.
I sort out my Council emails.
Salad for tea.
Let the cake cool down.
Looked into today's newspaper.
Now for a bit of Mafia....
I watched the first one.
Put the cake together and added the frosting to it.
I will decorate it tomorrow.
Sleep Tea time.
Hubby came back from Snooker.
He won his game, however his team lost 3-2 at the end. 
Time for a warm bed with a even warmer hubby!
