 Welcome to my Sunday 💗

I woke up first, and brought up the brew.

I had a chat with Mrs Messenger while she was tending her brother's grave.

I said goodbyes to my parents.

Dropped Sexy Beast back home and went to look around the garden centre....

I found some nice plants.

"I thought you were only looking,"Said hubby after I sent him to get a trolley

 for me to put the plants in.

Loaded them up in his car...

Once we got home.

We had lunch first before I stated to repot the plants.

I got through one bag of compost.

The Monkey Puzzle is sharp!

I have some more plants arriving tomorrow...

Let's hope I have enough pots and compost for them!

Put the Meat in the oven.

I filled out the form needed for permission for the loft to be done.

I will pop that into the Town Hall tomorrow.

Helped hubby sort out the Dining Room.

Now to get yesterday's blog post wrote.

Hubby dished up the tea.

The woman on the door, say:

"His brother can go with him the same time as his jab."

"That's good, I won't hear the screams from my car,"I replied walking back to Sexy Beast.

"So we have to hear them then?"She replied.

A good 20 minutes they came out. Sore arms, but everything was fine.

We were enjoying coffee and cake...

When suddenly a flock of loud mouthed crows entered the room....

One said to me as she walked into the room and called me: "Mr Tumble!".

Considering I was just sat there wearing a black flowing maxi dress with my red multi-coloured hat....

I don't look nothing like Mr Tumble

(as far I know!)

More like Humpty Dumpty!

They were being nasty to my son who served their drinks....

So reminds me of those horrible Stepford Wives I had to deal with at my kids's First School...

I just had to leave the room as my eye rolls was getting louder by the minute.

I said goodbye to Joe and Tracy and off home we went....

Gets home to find the shop had given me the wrong size dress!!!

It wasn't the same size that was on the clothes hanger..

Great, will have to change it when I get back!
