Moving It About!

 If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it - J.P Morgan
Bank Holiday Monday
No Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 due to the Queen's Funeral being today.
We had a good time in the bed↓
Time to test out the shower!
A cup of brew afterwards!
Dressed.
Down for breakfast!
Yum!
Back up to the room to pack the bag.
Next time I will pay the extra £25 for a better room.
Missed having a
 Fridge,
Radio, 
Toilet Brush.
There will be another offer coming soon for evening meal, bed, breakfast and a free bottle of wine up to November 30th.
Got back to the car and off we went.
Got back home.
Coffee machine put on...
We still have things to move out of the way, as we are finally having a new boiler fitted!
Hubby moved all the plants and the green house away from the wall by the back door.
(As scaffording is going there)
Got all the bed linen out of the airing cupboard, only to discover the boiler had leaked again, and 6 black bags of bed linen has to go to the Household tip, as they are all black and stinky!
 Late lunch.
The radiator cover needed removing from the hallway.
Everything was moved away from the other radiators in other rooms. 
Quick stir fry for tea.
Then a quick look into today's newspaper.

Time To Kiss The Pavement!

When a teacher calls a boy by his entire name, it means trouble - Mark Twain.
Welcome to my Thursday Bad Day 😔
Hoping for no rain while I am working.
Heardle Time!
Heardle 60s:
My answers:
Time for breakfast and brew.
Dressed.
Time to leave the house.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋
I gets my newspaper.
Puts on my summer coat.
Goes and puts on my lights.
Puts on my lights.
Now to get on with it!
Oh dear...
First child I cross over, car on the opposite of the road, failed to stop, BOING!
Lots of BOINGs given out.
I had my big stick out in front of me.
One grey car did the limbo right under it and kept going!
I could have took off their radio ariel!
Plenty of bedlam to put up!
I nearly kissed the pavement when I finished!
It was that bad!
Back home.
Picked up some coffee.
Back out for a date with a big dog!
He kept trying to give me doggie kisses.
He snagged my bracelet and all the crystals went everywhere!
Nice long chat and coffee.
Time to go.
Gave some fuss to big dog.
I just got home, and my paint appeared!
The Delivery Driver had to go and fetch it where he delivered last Friday, and delivered it to me now!
I can finish painting the front of the house now \o/
Light lunch time.
 I got the news my neighbour passed away last night :(
Now back out for part 2.
It was raining when I left.
On goes those sexy lumo trousers.
When it finished raining.
I turned on my lights.
My two friends appeared, ready for a quick rabbit!
We had a good rabbit.
Said goodbye to my two friends.
Now to do the afternoon shift.
Still gave some BOINGS out.
It did rain for a bit, then stopped after 10 minutes.
Finished in one piece.
Back home.
 I chattered to the two sons of my late neighbour.
I told one of the sons not to open the letter which will come with the will.
As his late dad had wrote some nasty things in it.
In need of a brew...
I got on with the tea.
Hubby came back, 
He had a sloppy wet one 👄
We just sit down, turn on the news and the Queen has died!
 Tea involving rice and vegetables.
I had a look into today's newspaper.
