Let's Follow That Tractor!

I was once so poor I didn't know where my next husband was coming from - Mae West.

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he went to work.

I meanwhile left the house shortly after too.

I had a phone call, from the friend I have coffee with at Webbs, saying the Bromsgrove Highway is closed due to an accident.

I now have to figure another way to Webbs.

Picks up the newspaper & my neighbour's magazine on the way.

I gets off at a sliproad before I get stuck in the massive queue on the Highway.

I goes the old way I used to go to my old job.

Through the lovely countryside.

I finally get to Webbs and B3

I have a look in Hobbycraft...

£58

My didn't cost mine on Saturday!

£2.99

Now to have coffee, chat and nibble!

Then it's a good look around the house plants!

Wonder if I could fit this in my garden???

I said goodbye to my friend.

Off home I went.

I thought the highway might be open by now.

Big Mistake,it wasn't.

On the way through the back roads of Bromsgrove to get home, I was stuck behind a tractor with a trailer doing 20 m.p.h.

Some managed to overtake it, by the time it was my turn, the lines were against me.

I gets to a slip road of the Bromsgrove Highway it was still closed.

So I had to follow the tractor once more.

A convoy was slowly building up behind me.

An ambulance that was 4 cars behind me, put their blue lights on, so I stopped and let it through.The Tractor refused to let the ambulance through until the ambulance put on it's music (Sirens)THEN it stopped and let the ambulance through!

I took another short cut and didn't follow the tractor no more \o/ 

Finally got home after half an hour!

My magazine and pom pom trims arrived.

Lunch.

Now to get out in the garden for a little bit of tidy up!

Swept the path, got some weeds up!

Tea at 3 was a bit late.

Now to get yesterday's blog post wrote....

Hubby came back with tonight's tea.

Now time to declutter.

First up was to sort out all my craft magazines.

Another magazine arrived in the post.

Now for lunch.

I pan fried some turkey steaks, then cooked them in red wine.

They were put into the oven for later.

I put the linguine in the saucepan too.

Back to decluttering!

Sorted out all the wicker draws in the Living room.

Quick tea at 3.

I have freed up so much room now.

I have some more craft magazines coming over the next few days to fill that space I made!

My son practiced making his dessert he is making for GCSE food exam next week.

He is trying out his recipe today.

On Friday he will try our Mary Berry's recipe.

The recycling bin is full of paper I found why I was decluttering.

Welcome to my Monday 👯

Nice hug with brew.

Breakfast.

I gave hubby a wet sloppy 💋 before he went off to work.

I had a nice hot shower.

Got the kids up.

I had a quick coffee...

Now to do some work around the house.

Dishwasher went on.

Tumble Drier on.

All the recycling went into the green bin.

I added new sealant to the basin in the bathroom.

That done :)

Before I started on the bath.

Fresh air needed.

Out to get the newspaper.

I filled up the bath half full of water.

I took off the old sealant.

However the new sealant didn't work!!!

I used some sealant tape instead.

That looks a lot better! 

Now for a very late lunch!

Then to write 2 blog entries.

The Prodical brother of mine had actually paid a visit to our parents grave over the Christmas period!!!!!

(First time since the funeral last March!)

He put a photo on his FB to prove it↓

He took my wreath off where I had put it.

He also put a picture on, off our late parents on their wedding day in 1968.

  (A postman friend gave me the picture to give my dad.

Now I know who has got it now!)

I am going up again this weekend and hopefully the other brother hasn't messed up the grave like he did last time...

I had run out of time to add the third blog post that covered Valentine's Day.

That will be posted tomorrow! 

I gave hubby a wet sloppy 💋 when he came home.
