I gets the newspaper and comes back home.

I had have a normal coffee...

Then time to make some soup.

While that was being made,

I was making tonight's tea.

Just as I was chopping up a red onion.

The Soup Maker's plug was disconnected, then it jumped off the surface and poured all the soup over the floor!

Great!

It went everywhere!

I just had enough soup left in the soup maker for today!

Cleaned up the kitchen.

Carried on making tonight's tea.

Once that was done, put it in the oven for later.

Time to have the remaining soup for lunch!

Did some more housework up to Tea at 3.

My coffee maker has been delivered to my drop off point, so picking that up tomorrow, woo hoo :)

Put the oven on for tea later.

Not quite warm enough not to wear a jacket.

Give hubby a sloppy wet one before I leave.

I got today's newspaper before I put on the winter coat.

As two weather forecasts said it will rain soon as I start.

Has the normal waves off car drivers, as I am waiting to put on my lights.

Time to start.

Let's hope I don't give out too many BOINGs.

Now to chat to the parents.

Everyone told me about what they did during last week's holiday.

One went to Broad Street,

Great night of drinking, dancing, kissing.

Great night had by all.

One Parent went to Cornwall,

Only to come back half way during the week due to the rain and cold!

One Parent put the heating back on as they were feeling cold.

The forecast said no rain.

Guess what?

It did!

Good job I had my winter coat with the hood.

It was very quiet due to one school have a TE day. 3 cars had BOINGs and 2 cars did emergency stops.

Finished in one piece!

I went down to the Co-op to fetch things in for tonight's tea.

Even had to visit Morrisons to get some stuff, that Co-op didn't have.

Back home.

Hubby was still at home trying to get through to his Doctors.

One he made an appointment.

He had a big sloppy one and off to work he went.

Coffee machine went back on.

Unpacked the shopping.

On goes the washing machine.

The soup maker went on as well.

Watered the garden.

Some plants were fine. some were bone dry.

Now for some liquid lunch.

Back out again for round 2.

I put on my summer coat.

Turns on my lights.

Gives a parent, 3 sticks of rock for her kids.

My friend comes and I give him some rock.

We have a good rabbit.

I say goodbye to my friend.

Now for more fun.

More BOINGs given out.

I had three lovely thank yous of the kids I had given their rock to their mum.

The High School was let out early.

Road was still quiet.

Calm before the storm, back to normal tomorrow.

Finished in one piece.

Back home.

Nice Hole In The Ground!

Television is a weapon of mass distraction - Larry Gelbart

Welcome to my Thursday 👓

Nice warm hug....

Brew with breakfast.

That Thermal vest goes on....

The temperatures dropped down last night.

Brrrrrrrr.

Now to leave the house.

I gives hubby a wet sloppy one 😘

It's freezing...

Two winter hats and those warm gloves got put on.

I turn on my lights.

Now to Rock 'n' roll...

I didn't see no tanks either!

Traffic was behaving themselves, and stopping!

Everyone said it was well cold again.

I survived the morning.

I go and put my lights on....

Then I discover a hole had been dug this morning after I had finished...

I have a rabbit with my friends...

Those dark clouds kept coming overhead.

Plus it was getting colder.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Then we had bits of snow appear while the sun was shining!

Everyone was looking in the hole...

Someone said,"Looks like someone is having a water meter fitted!"

I was glad I finished in one piece as the temperatures were dropping.
