Welcome to my Friday 👯

Brew with a warm hug.

Breakfast.

Hubby is still running a high temperature.

We are awaiting the results of Covid tests from yesterday for us to see our Doctors.

Gets the kids up to do their on-line lessons.

We lie in bed listening to the radio.

Hubby is still looking green .

I get dressed and I need to do something!

Empties the bins in the house.

Loads and puts on the dishwasher.

Cleans the top of the oven, microwave and cleans out the fridge.

Coffee time after that!

Off out for some fresh air and a little ride in 

Sexy Beast.

I gets the newspaper.

Next stop to do a little bit of shopping.

Oh dear.....

There was only two till operators. So we all queued down the aisle, someone tried to push in to get served before us of all.

One old biddie told them to join the queue. She got the message. I had one old boy who didn't unstand the 2 meter rule. Once I loaded my things on the till belt, he was standing next to me!

Great!

I had the result of my Covid Test come through.

Negative!

Paid for my shopping and left the store.

Gets home.

Unpacks the shopping.

We both phone our doctors up to have telephone appointments.

Quick lunch.

 Guess the year time!

My Doctor phone me first.

He is putting in for a chest X-ray first.

As having a 6 week cough is rather worrying.

I did point out my hubby's late mum, had a long term cough, she kept going back to her Doctors from the September, in the December of the same year, she was told she had terminal lung cancer. She didn't smoke, but caught it from second hand smoke.

She passed away in the following April.

I mentioned I am tea-total for nearly 8 years.

He is also a tea-total for 3 years!

That broke the ice! 

Just have to wait for the appointment for the chest x-ray.

Hubby's doctor phoned and it sounds like he has a very serious chest infection!

As we have snow forcasted over the weekend.

I decided to do

 our shopping and next door's shopping today while the sun is out!

Grabs the shopping list and out the door we went.

 A ex-boyfriend went past in a van and actually put his hand up!

He even waited up the top of road, when I reversed off my drive.

Off to Lidl's we went.

We finished before it got dark!

We got back before hubby!

(He was picking up his perscription!)

I got some great bargains from Lidl↓↓

 After I put the shopping away.

Time to look in the today's newspaper.

Afterwards I had put sewn it on, 

I might put a pocket over it instead.

I will see how son feels about it when he comes back later.

I had some infacing arrive in the post,

with some more material to play with.

 A late lunch.

I sorted out all my craft themed books out.

 I haven't looked into the cupboard containing a lot of cook books....

(I will save that for another day) 

I watched Boris in Parliament while having my 

Tea at 3. 

Our children came home.

Told me all about their school day \o/

That's tea sorted out for tonight.

£7 off the bill.

Hubby went with one son to fetch it.

We carried on watching the semi-final of season 3 of Hell's Kitchen.

The final was in two parts.

Rock was the winner.

Sleep tea time.

Just when I think my knee is getting better.

More bruises appear and my foot starts to swell up!

Roll on Tuesday!

"Our prodigal brother has sold the car my dad gave him!

The reason is, it wasn't his kind of car!" 

Nice bit of profit for him!

He thought it was Monday...

I said to him, "Don't use that swear at me using that M word!"

Suddenly a great song on the radio...

I started to do a little dance...↓
