Missed Me This Time!

Why are undertakers nice?
They're the last to let people down.
Welcome back to the Friday Feeling🎈
I going to have the blue tracksuit on, hoping it isn't going to be too cold this morning!
Heardles first.
Heardle 50s:
Heardle 60s:
My results:
Breakfast and Brew.
On goes the thermal vest, and blue tracksuit.
It was getting quite warm for a coat and scarf to wear.
Now outside for the final day at work.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one πŸ’‹
Off to work I go.
One Blue BMW shot out of a side road in front of me. However he was stuck behind two cars doing a 30 m.p.h.
The Hall car park wasn't open at first.
Parked Sexy Beast in the car park opposite.
Slipped on my Winter coat and walked down to turn on my lights and get the newspaper.
Came back and the Hall Car Park was open.
In I went with Sexy Beast.
I only wore one hat, and lightweight gloves.
Went to turn on my other lights.
Down to my spot I went.
Getting very busy crossing lots over the road.
In the first ten minutes I gave out a BOING!
Lots of happy parents that kids are back at school. Had a convoy of cars failing to stop over the otherside of the road.
Nice bit of parking by an Argos driver.
It was getting quite warm.
Finished in one piece.
Back home to change my clothes!
I put the dishwasher on.
Changed my clothes as it was getting well warm.
I had a first coffee before my friend arrived.
We had a good chat with two cups of coffee!
Wished her a good weekend.
Time for a quick liquid lunch!
It looked like rain outside.
Those dark clouds were over the house.
I got to work.
I puts on my Winter coat and winter hat.
It starts to spit with rain...
I walks down to the Charity Shop with two bags of books.
Of course I had to get something from there.
It throws it down with rain while I was in there.
It stopped raining when I came out \o/
I put my lights on on the way up.
One friend joins me and we walk up to turn on the other lights.
A New PILLAR BOX TOPPER has arrived!
Back to
Sexy Beast for my big stick.
Then we were joined my one friend with dog.
Then joined by two more friends and their dog.
We moved onto the Square for a big Rabbit!
When it was time for me to start my shift.
I wished everyone a good weekend.
I had a Amazon van park just by me, half on the pavement the other half on the road. It was making it difficult for the cars coming up the road to see me!
A bit close for comfort, especially crossing the Amazon driver over the road for him to move his van!
One parent moaned about Mother's Day for visiting all his female relations...
I commented,"How lucky he can visit them in person, as I will be visiting my mum in the graveyard!"
Someone asked me what I am doing for Mother's Day.
"Visiting the Craft Fair at the NEC."
"Are you  Crafty?"He asked.
"When the mood takes me!" I laughed.
Finished in one piece.
Back home I go.
Time for a much needed brew.
 I put the tea in the oven.
Then off to have a hot shower....
Hubby came back and had a sloppy wet one πŸ’‹
 Hubby liked his River Island shirt I bought for him to wear at work :)
Tea is served.
Looked at today's newspaper.

Now to catch up with some telly from last night.

Then onto 
Dragon's Den.
Then we sorted out the remaining books into two piles.
One pile going to the Charity Shop and the other one to Coughton Court Book Shop.
Sleep Tea time.
Now to enjoy the Friday Feeling in bed with a warm hubby....

Welcome to my Sunday πŸ’“
We had a bit of a lie-in..πŸ›
Breakfast and Brew...

It was so warm, the coat had to come off!
First to do was the tyres...
Off to see my mum and dad.

I had my Mother's Day meal a week early.
I just had to normal meal,
(No upgrade to a large portion,
Hubby had my Yorkshire Pudding and roast potatoes)
We didn't have no puddings either,as we were full up!
Back home.
Now to sort out the Dining Room.
There was one cabinet that had to come out, so we can may room in there.
Two more cabinets were emptied to get it out of the house!
Then to move the two cabinets back in and sort through nearly 14 years of stuff!
Nice item I found.
A friend is having it.
After nearly four hours we got one half of the Dining room done.
The other half is next weekend!
We had a nice light tea of smoked salmon on crackers.
We had to catch up with a tv programme that went onto 1.15am this morning, and we were so tired at 12.30am, that we left it to go to bed.
The programme was:
"Shocking Truth About Talent Shows."
Was very good :)

Bang Bang & Bounce!

Welcome to my Thursday πŸ’₯
The sun was up!
My late father-in-law's funeral is next Wednesday.
I did all the Heardles, except Heardle 70s which turned out to feature in the film,"Deliverance"
Now time for brew and breakfast.
No thermal vest today!
Long blue dress on instead.
Now out into the sunshine...
I give hubby his sloppy wet one.
 The big big sunglasses kept put on.
I gets the newspaper and chats to someone who knew the man that died last Wednesday.
"He was 64, and not a nice man." He said.
Then he told me about the dealings he had with him, which was no nice.
I wished him a good morning, and got my summer coat on.
I put on my lights.
Now to Rock 'n' Roll.
Again, people not stopping.
Lots of BOINGs handed out.
One woman in a blue car just drove into my stick, It hit the front of her car, went bang, and bounced off.She kept driving!
I was glad to finish in one piece!
I goes past the Charity Shop and notices 2 nice pictures that I like.
I park up, grab a bag and my facemask and off to the Charity Shop!
Their card machine wasn't working, so I went to get some money out.
I got the big picture of flowers.
The manager of the shop saw me go past and saw me looking at the pictures.
I showed the picture of the two pictures I bought two weeks ago.
She said I did a good job and perhaps get a job as a Interior Designer.
I laughted and said it was too stressful!
Put all the nice things in SEXY BEAST.
Did some shopping in the Co-op while I was there.
Back home.
Too our recycle bins off the pavement.
Coffee machine went on.
Unloaded the shopping.
Soup maker went back on.
Coffee time!
I caught up with some blogging.
Then armed with a hammer, I put the 3 pictures,I bought on the walls.
Now for some soup.
Then it's time for Part 2.
The fun I had driving to my job.
One Corsa tried to take me out, pulling out of a junction, then he braked at the last minute!
Some was reversing and not signelling when she was backing into!
I was glad to park up!
On goes the summer coat.
On the way to turn on my lights.
I got chatting to two ladies.They asked if the man survived last week. I said sadly not.
They were on their way to the Charity Shop, I told them I went in earlier, and have left some bargains!
Turns on my lights.
Chats with my friend with the dog for a chat.
Then my two friends turn up to for a little rabbit.
Said goodbye to them when it was time for me to start my shift!
3 older women in their cars failed to stop.
They had 3 BOINGs for doing that!
Glad I survived that!
Hometime.
Time for a brew!
Puts tea in the oven.
Now to do some blogging.
