Trying Not To Slip & Slide!

It's the good girls keep diraries. The bad girls never have the time - Tallulah Bankhead

Welcome aboard to a very cold Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Nice warm hug.

Brew with Breakfast.

Lots of layers on top of the thermal vest.

I gives hubby his sloppy wet 💋 

Very icy, and cold outside.

I parks in the car park around the corner.

As the Covid-19 Boosters are in the hall.

2 winter hats go on with gloves, and boots.

The Christmas Santa has now returned!

Now let's go to work.

Car drivers were going a lot slower than normal because of the ice on the roads.

I hope where I stand in the afternoon, defrosts, as it is slippy as hell on that side of the road.

Everyone commenting on how cold it is this morning. It was -2.5c when I started this morning.

Few car drivers kept going and not stopping on the otherside of the road.

At least I finished in one piece.

I was careful going back to Sexy Beast.

I got changed and just about to walk down to the Post Office, when I forgot my facemask.Back to the car to fetch that.

I was careful going down the hill. Gets my letters weighed and gets asks if I know these people I have wrote a letter too.

"Nope, not yet, as they are on Death Row in America, I won't get to meet them personally either."

She was fascinated about it.

I told her about the series on Netflix about people being on Death Row. 

I found a website that you can write to inmates  on Death Row. So I did!

The queue was getting longer in the Post Office, so I finished my conversation and said goodbye once I paid the postage.

I just about got up the hill, but nearly slipped over in the car park near my car.

Gets off my boots.

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

Puts on the coffee machine.

I moved the things around in the bathroom to create more room in there!

Put the recycling out, and fetch some bread to the birds.

I had my minor workout after that!

Coffee is now needed.

I had to chase up Amazon up as they charged me full price for two Amazon echos instead of £29.99, I even put the discount code in.

I will have to wait for them to be delivered next week to get the refund!

I write yesterday's blog all the way to lunchtime!

Now for part two.

Nice little tune on repeat on the way to work.

Managed to park in the car park of the old Health Centre.

I gets gloves and 2 winter hats and walks up to put on my lights.

Has a good rabbit with my two friends before I start my afternoon shift.

Now to start.

One parent commented he nearly slipped over on the pavement before I crossed him back over this morning.

I'm glad the ice has now been defrosted on the pavement.

One parent I was talking to, was saying she went out for meal with 3 others on Saturday at a nearly pub. The cost was for three courses each, wine etc...... The amount was £280!

I pointed out I don't drink alcohol, I normally drink lemonade, but go dangerous and have lime added to it!

I wished her a happy Birthday for tomorrow.

Finished in one piece.

Hometime.

When I got home, the younger son had got all the boxes of Christmas decorations out from the loft.

He has put all a Christmas Tree in his room.

Hubby is at snooker tonight, and won't be putting up the decorations in the house until tomorrow night. The boxes went back up in the loft.

Someone was kept downstairs mind.

In need of a  strong brew...

Out comes the new wok we bought Saturday.

Meat Free Stir-Fry time.

Quick look in the newspaper.

I took my sleep tea up to bed.

As I have a good book to read about the Godfather film.

Hubby comes back from snooker.

He loses his game and his team loses 4-1.

I told him to take a break next season, and just practice with his snooker pal on a a Monday Night to try get his snooker Mojo back!

The warmth and the sun is back tomorrow, going up to 12c!

A few layers of clothing will be removed tomorrow!

First stop was to get the newspaper.

Next stop was to nip into Sainsburys.

I got some reduced things for the garden.

Now for that coffee!

I got writing yesterday's blog post,

All the way to dinnertime!

Then it was time to make a Cottage Pie and Apple Pie for tea.

Tea at 3. 

While I was making them,

Paul Jones from Manfred Mann was on the radio, talking about his life in Manfred Mann and the upcoming tour!

The tour is rescheduled to October...

I jumped on the net for tickets!

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? 🐫
