Breaking A New One In!

A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he gets to know something - Wilson Mizner
Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈
Warm hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Kids were having a TE day, so they had a lie-in.
Hubby was working from home today.
I too enjoyed a lie-in.
Hubby bought me up a coffee a little time later.
Up I got afterwards.
Dressed.
Then out in the cold to fetch the newspaper.
One of my kids was up, so came out for some fresh air.
Newspaper got.
Nothing happened at my late dad's house.
Back home.
Quick read of the newspaper before lunch.

There was only one episode of Top of the Pops to watch tonight from 1990.
Next we watched  Roy Orbison:Love Hurts.
It was such a lovely documentary 
When he died in the December of 1988 I was working in a Newspaper Shop when it came across the radio he had died :(
Next up:
I still have to look away when that music starts..
Hubby was falling asleep and I was looking more at him than the movie.
Time to break in the new duvet cover 🎈
