A Cooler Hump!

More always means worst - Kingsley Amis
Welcome to my warm Hump of the Week 🐫
It was still warm upstairs.
Heardle time
Heardle 60s:
My son's answers:
Breakfast and Brew time.
I gets dressed.
I have to drop off younger son at school before I go to my job.
He has a free trip to Wales :)
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋
I drop son off at school.
Gets down to do my Lollipop job.
Suddenly there is lot of traffic everywhere!
Gets out of Sexy Beast,
&
My watch strap breaks!
I buys my newspaper.
No magazine for next door in.
Collects big stick.
It might be cloudy, but it is still warm!
Puts on my lights.
Let's Rock 'n' Roll.
My hubby goes past in his car and waves at me.
There are lots of traffic at the bottom by the island.....
Lots of BOINGs including a man who had his roof down, and as he was driving under my Big Stick, I could have tapped his bald head!
Lots of traffic, and lots of people to cross over!
Finished in one piece.
One of my friends who I rabbit to in the afternoon, was going for a quick coffee.
So I tagged along! 
Had a good chat, nice coffee with teascake.
Said goodbye to everyone.
There was traffic lights on the way home, I turned around and went to other way home.
Puts the coffee machine on for another coffee!
I put the washing machine on.
Once that was finished.
Hung it out to dry.
The job I resigned from last June is being readvertised again!
 
It took me 3 hours to clean the house from top to bottom. I am glad I took all the cleaning products I paid for out of the house, mops, mop buckets and my Henry Hoover!
Repairs my watch strap!
Light lunch time.
Now back out to do part 2:
Puts on my Summer coat.
Turns on my lights...
I buys a ice lolly.
Picks up big stick from Sexy Beast.
Waits in the park in the shade for my friends to arrive.
My friends arrive to have a little rabbit.
Walks to my spot.
One friend goes to work.
The other friend walks down to the Charity Shop.
Now to start.
Every other car is failing to stop!
Lots of BOINGs given out.
One parent asks, "If I am doing a wet t-shirt tomorrow?"
"You will have to find out!" I reply.
One builder's lorry had to slam his brakes on as my big stick was in direct line of their windscreen!
Another car on my side had to slam it's brakes on. I could hear the gums banging when I crossed the kids over.
Finished in one piece!
Back home.
Cup of tea is needed.
Son comes back from his Wales trip.
He tells me all about it.
And shows me what he bought!
Hubby comes home for a sloppy wet one 💋
Tea is served.

More Hump Day Fun!

 What fresh hell is this? - Dorothy Parker, answering the phone.
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪
Hubby came to bed at midnight last night.
I had a bad night's sleep.
Plenty of ...↓
Gets up at 6am and has cold shower.
Heardle time!
Heardle 60s was:
Then it was time for brew and breakfast.
Dressed.
Then out of the door.
Big Big sunglasses time.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one.
I got the newspaper.
Put on the summer coat.
I turned on my lights.
Back to it 🍭
It was getting well busy.
9 cars failed to stop on the otherside of the road.
The 10th car had to do a emergency stop!
Chats with the parents.
Then it starts to rain...
(Even though my pine cone says sunshine)
A brief shower!
See the blue Skoda from last November that tried to run me over!
Funny her license plate doesn't match the car details on the DVLA website!
Finishes in one piece.
Now off to be B3.
Meets friend for coffee and nibbles.
The slices of cake looked nice.
But I'm saving myself for the lovely homemade cake at the coffee morning tomorrow :)
I said goodbye to my friend and off home I went.
Filled up Sexy Beast....
Fuel is getting bloody expensive...
Horse and cart next!
At least the horse poop be good for the garden!
Very light lunch indeed.
Back out for part two.
That black cloud doesn't look too good↓
Traffic lights have been up opposite where I put on my lights.
I turn on my lights and get back to Sexy Beast.
Then the heavens open and it rains really heavy!
One of my friends comes and we wait for the rain to finish.
I change coats into my winter one.
We go and wait in the square for our other friend.
My friend comes, and it's time for a little rabbit..
We were watching the traffic backing up all the way to my spot....
I said goodbye to my friends.
Part two.
One car got tired of waiting for me to cross the kids over the road.
And tooted me to hurry up!
Cars were putting their toe down and not stopping the other side.
It was getting that bad for traffic.
Both sides were not moving but the traffic lights kept changing!
I was glad to finish in one piece!
I drove half way home and didn't release my boot lid was still up.......
I was glad to get home!
Has a ice lolly to call down with.
Puts pie in the oven.
Writes some blog posts.
Hubby comes home for a nice sloppy wet one!
Tea is served.
