Minion With A Dash of Singing!

A leaf it fell upon my foot,
And to move it I was unable,
The leaf was made of solid oak,
From Auntie Aggie's table - Les Dawson
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Emptied the dishwasher and loaded it back up.
Then I made tea for tonight.
In the oven it went for later.

Welcome to my Thursday Fun 👄
 Didn't have enough time to do the Heardles.
Breakfast and Brew.
As well as the thermal vest and those sexy lumo trousers went on.
 Now to leave the house.
Gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I left.
There was a chance of rain again.
Gets to work.
On goes the waterproofs.
Turns on my lights, and gets my newspaper.
I tuck my newspaper into my winter coat and walk up to turn on those lights as well.
Returns to Sexy Beast to swap the newspaper for my big stick.
Now walks to my spot in the pouring rain.
There was no room for the Flower lorry to park, so it carried on.
Another lorry parks on double yellow lines.
They find it funny parking there!
At least the rain has stopped.
Still gave a few BOINGs out.
Finished in one piece.
Applying for another Councillor job in another Parish now.
Off home I go.
I wrote yesterday's blog post up to the liquid lunch.
I didn't on my sexy lumo trousers.
Off to the afternoon shift.
I started to rain on the way to work.
It stopped when I parked up.
I still put on my waterproof shoes just in case.
I walk and turn on two sets of lights.
I nip into the Charity Shop for a mooch...
Then back to  Sexy Beast to get my big stick.
My friends join me to have a good rabbit!
Those dark clouds are coming in thick and fast!
I said goodbye to my friends and started my shift.
A few BOINGs given out to those on the otherside of the road for failing to stop.
I had my big stick just out in front of me a little bit as the wind was getting up.
One red car came up the road, slammed on the brakes in front of me, and started banging her gums at me.
(IF she wound down her passenger window, I could have heard what she what saying!)
She then sped off!
I was glad to finish in one piece.
Back home I go.
Brew time.
Out comes the sewing machine.
Wonder Woman themed cushion.
Birthday Card.
Then I made a quick easy tea.
Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet one 💋
Tea is served.
Leeks wrapped in ham, in cheese sauce.
Lovely!
Wrapped up the Birthday Present.
Now to look into today's newspaper.
UK No.1 on this day in 1956:
