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

I went back to bed for a bit..

I woke up late felt like 💩

Dressed.

Now out to get some milk,newspaper and bargains.

 While get the £1 coin out for the newspaper, the zip got jammed!

(It's going to be one of days is it!)

I parked behind a car outside the Newsagent Shop. The car driver shot me a look when she got back to car. I watched her from inside the shop, to make sure she didn't hit my car as she reversed her car.

(I left her loads of room!)

Further on, the traffic lights stopped me for no reason, as there were no other cars at the three way lights!

(Going to be one of those days!)

I gets down to Studley.

Now to use my offers on the Co-op card!

Now to have a quick look in the Charity Shop.

Loads of bargain buys on the DVDS!

Gets back home.

The coffee machine was put on .

Unpacking my bargains...

Now for coffee...

Tumble drier went on

(As I don't trust the weather!)

I had a week's newspapers to catch up with.

So I caught up todate with everything.

The 3 green recycle bins are being emptied this Thursday... 

Now for lunch.

Done more tidying up to Tea at 3.

Then I went out to get a Lucky Bag from Morrisons.

(It's a good job I only got one, as the other two bags were the same as mine!)

I did my Stir Fry, but I had a little meat with it.

Mmmm  what to watch?

Hubby came back from visiting his dads.

He had a sloppy wet 💋

We carried on watching Netflix.

I quickly looked in today's newspaper before I pressed start.

Aretha Franklin  was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist. Referred to as the "Queen of Soul", she is regarded as the most influential female vocalist of the 1960s. Franklin began her career as a child, singing gospel at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan, where her father C. L. Franklin was a minister.

At the age of 18, she embarked on a secular-music career as a recording artist for Columbia Records. While her career did not immediately flourish, she found acclaim and commercial success after signing with Atlantic Records in 1966. Hit songs such as "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)", "Respect", "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", "Chain of Fools", "Think" and "I Say a Little Prayer" propelled her past her musical peers. 

She died on this day in 2018 aged 76. 

Sleep Tea Time.

My kids are going to have their first Covid jab tomorrow....

Hopefully there won't be screams!

Welcome to my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Hug with brew to start Monday with.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Woke one son up for school.

Gave out sloppy wet 💋💋💋 before I left.

On goes the Summer Coat....

Now for the fun to start 🎈

It was very quiet for a Monday.

Some of the parents were going in late because of the football last night.

Two baby birds landed on the road just up from me. Two seconds later, a car ran down over, the car following made sure both became pancakes :(

Some of the parents asked if I watched the match, I told them I watched Top of the Pops from 1991 instead.

Finished in one piece.

I had popped into the Co-op to get some milk.

The DPD delivery man phoned me, asking where my house was. I gave him the directions, and he put phone down soon after.

Back home.

The Dpd man found me and delivered the boxes from Star Bargains.

Unloaded the boxes.

Coffee time.

They are needed for the next good deed we are doing.

Now to sort out 3 boxes of CDs of my late dad's.

I managed to sort out out two trays full of CD's for the Droitwich Lions. Next was the gardening magazines that I was saving for no reason, that went in a box, then some cooking books I had from my dad's which I don't use and someone else might find useful.

4 boxes of useful things being dropped off at a Droitwich lions member on Saturday morning.

Lunchtime.

After watching a episode of The Hotel Inspector.

Out I went again.

There was a dark cloud, but I still worn my Summer Coat...

Far too humid for that winter coat.

Still some parents were asking if I saw the match, I said, "Top of the Pops from 1991".

"Manic Street Preachers on there yet?"

"No, but Paul Young and OMD was," I replied....

I finished in one piece.

Back home for a lolly pop.

I caught up with more Hotel Inspector and last week's newspapers.

I had a Chicken Stir Fry for tea.

Hubby came back from seeing his dad.

Quick look in today's newspaper.

Kids started on their walk.

We went past where the new Lidl is being built.

They are slowly bringing down the old buildings..

Tidied up my parent's grave.

We had a look around the graveyard.

When we got back, time for all of it to go in the freezer.

Time for a much needed coffee.

Hubby and son then went off to do some food shopping for us and the next door neighbour.

I had a Cottage Pie to make.

Once it was done, in the oven it went.

Having fun at the moment trying to master bread.
