Welcome to my Tuesday 💜

I jumps into have a shower before breakfast.

Then its hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he goes to work.

Nice to wear my White Rainbow Heart Pride Charity T-shirt today.

I went out with rain mac to get bits and pieces.

First stop was to get the newspaper.

Next stop was to nip into Sainsburys.

I got some reduced things for the garden.

Just need the sun back to charge them up!

Back home for a much needed coffee.

The pineapples went in the garden.

Fake Furry Plant in the Hall.

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!

Tour?????

The tour is rescheduled to October...

I jumped on the net for tickets!

Woo Hoo....

A late 10th wedding anniversary present for us

(Our anniversary is on the 5th September)

I will be thrilled if they play one of my favourite Manfred Mann songs.....

Georgie Fame is going to be there too \o/

The last real concert I went to was to see

Del Amitri in Birmingham in 1991!

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

Now to serve up the Cottage Pie.

Followed by

Apple Pie.

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!

A tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well - Dan Rather

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪

Hug and brew to start the day.

Breakfast.

Followed by a hot shower.

Dressed.

Hubby goes and fetches the newspaper.

I turn on my Lava Lamp and the bulb blows!

Trying to find a matching bulb is going to be an adventure!

Either the watt is too high,or the bulb is too expensive!

I could have got a new Lava lamp on what I paid for the 3 bulbs I got in the end!

At least my bread flour order arrived!

Now to sort out my kitchen unit that will hold this flour↓

I sorted and gave it a good clean out.

I didn't have enough storage jars for where the flour was going in to.

On-line order, hubby will pick them up later.

I whipped up a French style of bread in the breadmaker while I was sorting out the various flours.

Much needed coffee time.

Afterwards, I went outside for some much needed fresh air.

I had a funny shaped parcel delivered to me.

It was the wallpaper boarder I ordered.

Another job to be done over the weekend!

I had more post as well.

The final book I ordered for my next neighbour came.

As well as a book I ordered for one of my sons.

I had a letter about booking an appointment for my Covid jab. Already booked in for mine in a few days...

Lunchtime.

Snowball Time!

The illegal we do immediately.The unconstitutional takes a little longer - Henry Kissinger

Welcome to my Friday 👯

Brew with a warm hug.

Breakfast.

Hubby is still running a high temperature.

We are awaiting the results of Covid tests from yesterday for us to see our Doctors.

Gets the kids up to do their on-line lessons.

We lie in bed listening to the radio.

Hubby is still looking green .

I get dressed and I need to do something!

Empties the bins in the house.

Loads and puts on the dishwasher.

Cleans the top of the oven, microwave and cleans out the fridge.

Coffee time after that!

Off out for some fresh air and a little ride in

Sexy Beast.

I gets the newspaper.

Next stop to do a little bit of shopping.

Oh dear.....

There was only two till operators. So we all queued down the aisle, someone tried to push in to get served before us of all.

One old biddie told them to join the queue. She got the message. I had one old boy who didn't unstand the 2 meter rule. Once I loaded my things on the till belt, he was standing next to me!

Great!

I had the result of my Covid Test come through.

Negative!

Paid for my shopping and left the store.

Gets home.

Unpacks the shopping.

We both phone our doctors up to have telephone appointments.

Quick lunch.

Guess the year time!

My Doctor phone me first.

He is putting in for a chest X-ray first.

As having a 6 week cough is rather worrying.

I did point out my hubby's late mum, had a long term cough, she kept going back to her Doctors from the September, in the December of the same year, she was told she had terminal lung cancer. She didn't smoke, but caught it from second hand smoke.

She passed away in the following April.

I mentioned I am tea-total for nearly 8 years.

He is also a tea-total for 3 years!

That broke the ice!

Just have to wait for the appointment for the chest x-ray.

Hubby's doctor phoned and it sounds like he has a very serious chest infection!

As we have snow forcasted over the weekend.

I decided to do

our shopping and next door's shopping today while the sun is out!

Grabs the shopping list and out the door we went.

A ex-boyfriend went past in a van and actually put his hand up!

He even waited up the top of road, when I reversed off my drive.

Off to Lidl's we went.

We finished before it got dark!

We got back before hubby!

(He was picking up his perscription!)

I got some great bargains from Lidl↓↓

After I put the shopping away.

Time to look in the today's newspaper.
