Trying To Catch Up!

The worst thing about having a mistress is those two dinners you have to eat - Oscar Levant
Welcome to my Thursday πŸ’ͺ
Nice hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
I got one son up for school.
I gave out plenty of wet sloppy πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹ 
Now out....
Where has the sun gone?
The Summer coat went on.
It was really warm already.
Now for the fun to start...🎈
Most car drivers did stop, I did hear some gums banging a few times....
Oh dear, how sad, nevermind.
I finished in one piece.
Back home.
I gave the kitchen floor a mop.
Plus the washing machine went back again.
Now to try and get the blog updated....
I got last Friday, Saturday and Sunday wrote....
All the way to lunchtime.
I watched Hotel Inspector....
Now back out into the sunshine...
It is so warm, glad I took a bottle of water with me.
Everyone was stopping for me for once...
(I hope it carries on for tomorrow)
I finished in one piece.
I chattered with the caretaker of where I park my car.
One parent had parked their car in there
(They are not supposed to)
He closed the one gate to go in.
He was was giving them a bit of time to move the car or once the other gate is closed.
It's £50 to open the gate.
Back home.
A much needed lolly to have.
I carried on getting the blog updated.
Nice Pork Balls for tea.

While I wrote yesterday's blog post,
Hubby had a quick play with Henry.
Kids hoovered their own bedrooms.
Lunchtime.
Followed by another episode of Narcos.
Done more tidying of the house.
Tea was put in the oven.
Now for a very quick ten minutes of 
Top of the Pops from 1990.
 Onto the next episode:
Oh dear Elton John has gone down to number 2!
That was a quick use of the remote control to fast forward some of it!
Tea time.
Fish dinner with onion rings.
We finished Season one of Narcos.
Moving onto Season 2. 
Sleep Tea time.
I looked at the time it was coming up to 1.30am...
It was great to have a late night which didn't include alcohol!
(No hangover for me tomorrow!)
