No Dance Monday!

Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.

Welcome to my Monday \o/
No Wobbly Work Wheel to mount today, due to my Inflammed knee still!
At least the brew tastes a lot better!
Brew with hug.

Hubby went and got the newspaper for me.
There was some nice clouds above the house.
I gave hubby a nice wet sloppy 💋 before he went to work.

 "Am I going to be took off my duty nearer the time?"
He replied to that:"Do you expect me to take someone off their duty for you to go on it?"
*So I was delivering mail, carrying 16 kilos of mail when I was seven and half months pregnant!*
 I enjoyed my table for one↑↑↑↑↑
After 20 minutes, of looking at empty glass and starring into thin air.
I left....
I got changed and enjoyed a coffee and nibbles↓
 I went to Job 2
