Just Don't Feel Like ....

Beauty is only a light switch away - Austin Powers

Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Running a bit late to do the Heardles.

They will be done later...

Breakfast and Brew time.

The thermal vest goes on.

Now to exit the house to do the first shift of the working week.

I gives hubby a wet sloppy one 💋 before I leave.

Going the other way as there are a lot of traffic lights on the way I normally go.

On goes the winter hat, winter coat, and gloves.

Turns on one set of light, fetches the newspaper and goes back to Sexy Beast.

Swaps the newspaper for the big stick.

Goes and turns on the other set of lights.

Right let's get on with it 🍭

Nothing like a Monday for cars!

Lots of BOINGs for cars doing the limbo under my stick!

Last minute brakers as well!

At least I finished in one piece!

Back home.

Brewed up some coffee.

The guard dog which I gave some blankets for had passed away 2 weeks ago :(

I am going to have a skip next month to help sort both sheds out.

If we have to go, as least we won't have to empty the sheds in a short moment of time!

Wrote a blog post up to liquid lunch.

Now out to do the afternoon bit.

I put on my winter coat, winter hat and gloves.

I don't trust them dark clouds, and the waterproof shoes went on.

Turned on both sets of lights, and walked back to Sexy Beast.

My friends appeared for a little rabbit.

Then it was time to say goodbye.

Now for the afternoon shift.

A few cars trying not to stop on the otherside of the road.

I just lowered the stick down for them not to drive under it!

Finished in one piece!

Home time for me.

Back home.

Cup of brew is needed.

Writes one blog post.

Tea time.

Lovely.

Bad Tuesday Again!

Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost more than you thought - Murphy's Law.

Welcome to my Tuesday 💦

Nice big hug to start Tuesday with.

Brew with breakfast.

We did all the Heardles.

No need for the Thermal vest \o/

Hoping nothing is going to happen today.

As it normally does on a Tuesday!

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one.

I goes and gets the newspaper first.

I slips into the Summer Coat and hat.

With big big sunglasses.

I puts on my lights.

Now off to work I go....

Some on the otherside were not STOPPING, my stick is not quite long enough to tap their windscreen!

Talked to some of the parents.

They hoped tomorrow would go alright.

Finished in one piece.

It's getting warm.

Gets home.

The coffee machine goes on.

I change into a tee-shirt.

All the windows are opened.

Now to wait for the council to do some repairs.

Coffee time.

The bread maker and soup maker goes on.

Caught up with some blogging.

The council man comes and as he turns off the water under the sink.

The container under the pipe to the washing machine is full of water.

The pipe is leaking again for the second time in 9 months.

Once the council man did the repair, I thanked him for doing it.

Gets onto the place where I bought the washing machine.Fobbed off and said I have to phone Bosch now.

Before I did, now for some light lunch.

Off to do round 2.

I put on my summer coat and walked to put on my lights. On the way to get a cold lollypop, I bump into someone I chat to in the morning.

He was having a bad Tuesday, he doesn't like Tuesdays. I told him I was having a bad Tuesday.

We now have 2 members of the Bad Tuesday Club.

Off to get a ice cold lolly!

Only one friend turns up, as my other friend was running late.

Time for a little rabbit...

When it was time to start.

My friend then goes off home.

Cars were stopping myside,

The other side, they were stopping in the Keep Clear space..

Finished in one piece.

Back home.

Nice cold lolly to cool down.

Carried on writing my blog.

Phoned up Bosch.

Because I work weekdays, I would have preferred a Saturday for the engineer to come out.

Nothing for 3 months.

Handwashing for 3 months then I said.

Someone is coming out next week.

Great.

Gets on with the tea.

Hubby has a sloppy wet one when he comes back.

Lovely.
