Adding His Name To The List!

 I'm too old for a paper round, too young for social security and too tired for an affair - Erma Bombeck

Welcome aboard on my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Warm hug to start Monday with.

Breakfast.

Opened the curtains....

Dressed.

Checked the weather, the rain is coming in, in the afternoon.

No sexy lumo trousers to wear \o/

I gives hubby a sloppy wet 😘 before I left.

Once I had zipped up my coat, I was asked to move my car, over to a bit, as the centre was being used to give Booster Covid jabs.

Moved Sexy Beast over a bit. 

Turned my lights on.

Now for the fun to start...🍭

It didn't help there was 2 piles of dog poo near when I stand.

So it was poo watch, to alert people not to step in too it!

Also it's be careful of the older people driving to get their booster jabs.

Some seem to forget they have to stop when I'm in the middle of the road!

One car on the other side of the road had to slam its brakes on or face a tap and crack to their windscreen!

The sun came out!

I noticed more and more drivers are still using their mobile phones. One sat on his, and causing a backlog of cars, as I had gone back on the pavement!

I finished in one piece.

I got the newspaper on the way home.

Coffee machine went on.

Now to get some jobs done around the house!

Once they were done....

Coffee time!

I wrote yesterday's blog.

Finally got my Amazon delivery delivered!

As they couldn't find me yesterday!

Lunchtime.

As normal the rain came in.

On goes the sexy lumo trousers...

I parked elsewhere, as the centre was full of cars. My two friends appeared for a chat before I started the afternoon shift.

We were joined by someone I had yet to meet.

(And afterwards, I never want to meet again)

"I want your job,"He said.

"I will add you to that long list that wants my job!" I replied.

"It's good pay and you get paid for school holiday,"He said.

"It is, but the added danger of getting hit by a car," I replied.

It didn't help him taking the piss out of one of my friends either.

On and on he went. I was glad when he did leave. He was trying to be funny, but he failed as I was concerned! 

I said goodbye to my two friends.

I was glad to start my shift. 

Sunshine, and rain.

One red car behind me, tried to old trick of moving forward to drive around my hand, until I moved near the pavement!

I was glad to finish in one piece!

Back to Sexy Beast...

Back home.

Nice cup of tea was needed!

I caught up with some of the newspapers from the weekend....

Now to get on with my Stir-Fry....

Washing machine has been well busy.

2 more bags of baby clothes.

I finished reading the weekend newspapers.

I pre-ordered the new Joan Collins's book.

I read a bit of it, and it looks so interesting!

Now to look in today's newspaper.

Plus he came home in the rain....

I kept the bed warm for him.....

 Welcome to my Sunday 💗

I woke up first, and brought up the brew.

"Wakey,Wakey,"I said to Sleeping Beauty.

Even opened the curtains to let the sun in!

A little bit of cuddle,

Then off downstairs he went to make the breakfast.

I meanwhile, opened all the curtains and windows to let the air in.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Now to leave the house for a short ride.

Pump up the tyres.

Take away coffee.

Now off to see my parents....

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.

The people who are doing the loft wanted to do this Friday!

Lol

We have to empty the loft first!

(That's going to be fun!)

Now to get yesterday's blog post wrote.

(If I don't it's going to back up again!)

Hubby dished up the tea.

I published my blog post.

Hubby went to sleep on the sofa.

I looked for a wooden garden arch while he was snoring.

Gave up looking....
