Billy No Mates!

The eleventh commandment:thou shalt not be found out - 
George Whyte-Melville
Welcome to my Tuesday Fun 💥
I woke up to no music...
Someone (Not Me knocked out Echo behind the book cabinet, and he couldn't reach it)
So hubby's late dad's DAB radio came to the rescue!
Now for a much needed hug...
Brew with Breakfast.
No thermal vest needed today \o/
Now out to work I go...
Gives hubby a sloppy wet one before I leave.
I go and get the newspaper before I slip on my Summer Coat.
Now to turn on my lights.
Could it get any better than yesterday?
One black car on the otherside of the road, came up the road.I had my big stick raised.
She suddenly stopped,moved forward onto the Keep Clear, then put her foot down and drove off.
BOING I went.
More BOINGS given out.
When I got finished, I chatted with a parent for nearly 40 minutes about various things.
Back home.
Coffee machine went on.
As did the soup maker.
A little bit of housework.
Then it's coffee time.
While I was hanging up my water proof bunting outside.....
I got chattering with my new Postman.
He told me they had a repick of all the walks.
The Postman who was doing my old walk has lost it to someone who has higher seniority than he did.Plus we are having another Postman delivering to us as well.
Now for some liquid lunch...
Yum!
Now for part 2:
The summer coat goes on.
I turn on my lights.
I then wait for my friends to arrive...
I know one friend was celebrating his sister's 78th Birthday at a Pub....
I think other friend is having problems with her dog.... 
I felt like a Billy No Mates for half an hour!
Once I started my shift.
An ex-boyfriend drove past in his lorry.
He hasn't aged well at all.
Too many worry lines!
Still had to do some BOINGs!
I was glad I finished in one piece.
Back home.
Brew time.
Then I got on with the tea.
Hubby has sloppy wet one when he came home.
Tea is served.
Looked in today's newspaper.
UK No.1 on this day in 1986:
Falco - Rock Me Amadeus 
USA No.1 on this day in 1986:
Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls.
Now to sort out more of the white tiles in the bathroom...
The kitchen is being done tomorrow!
Sleep Tea time!
It looks like it going to be a wet Hump tomorrow 🐪
