Flashing Red Light.....

 If you think it's difficult to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball - Jack Lemmon
Welcome to my Sunday 💗
I got up to make a brew, as I had dry throat.
After half an hour, hubby rose out of the warm bed, to make the breakfast and a hot cup of coffee.
Big hug to start the day.
Thermal vest went on.
As well as loads of layers.
Now to sort out Sexy Beast.
First to get Sexy Beast, washed and polished.
6 cars in front of me.
The white 4x4 behind was sat on my arse the whole time of me waiting.
After waiting nearly 50 minutes,
I'm there!
Sexy Beast is nice and clean.
Checked the tyres.
Now for a much needed coffee!
I nip into the Co-op for some bits.
The self-service doesn't like me scanning the reduced food.
The red light kept going off!
There is a fault with the I.T system when asked about the red light keep going off!
Now finally back home!
Puts on coffee machine

Puts the bits away from Co-op.
Soup is done!
Yum!
Now back out to check hubby's tyres.
We pop and see my mum and dad.
Back home to do some housework.
Dishwasher unloaded again.
Washing machine back on.
I started to write yesterday's blog post.
Tea was put on as well.
Finished blog post just in time for tea!
Followed by homemade rice pudding.
I used brown sugar instead of white.
Plus added some vanilla essence and double cream to it.
Tasted so nice!
After letting that go down.
I was first in the queue for a shower!
Letting the hair dry,
I looked into today's newspaper.

Back home to unpack all the lovely bargains.

Younger son already did one Jigsaw that we bought earlier.
I carried on writing two blog posts.
Hubby recovered from his migraine.
(Slept it off)
To do the tea.
Tea was finished.
Blogs were published.
Time to catch up with 2 episodes of Top of the Pops from 1992.
A good song was at number 11.
There would be a new number one for the next 8 weeks...↓
Marcella Detroit was sacked in 1993 from the band.
 While unsurprised at the final dissolution of the partnership, Detroit was distressed by the way it ended and how it was announced. Many years later, she would comment "I was never in it to steal anyone's glory away; I just did my job. I was asked by everybody to become part of it and then everybody wanted me out... I learned a lot about what it means to be an artist... To put two people as different as we were together – well, we were bound to have differences personality-wise. In the video for 'Stay', I was singing to this guy who was dying and she (Siobhan) was the Angel of Death. We used our personality differences to our advantage, but it was a little too real!"
Detroit and Fahey had not spoken to or seen each other for 25 years before eventually meeting and talking again in 2018.
They did some good songs together in 2019.
I looked into today's newspaper.

He would have been 88 years old 🎈
He sadly died aged 59 in 1993.
Exactly a week after it aired in America, the first episode of Hill Street Blues received its UK premiere on this day in 1981.
Joan Armatrading releases
"Drop the Pilot" on this day in 1983.
On this date in 1984 "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood reaches number one in the UK singles chart, despite the BBC ban; it will spend a total of 42 weeks in the top 40.
"Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes was the #1 song on the Billboard charts today in 1984. It was the first of two 2 straight weeks on top.
Airwolf, the action drama tv series debuted today in 1984. The series ran for a total of four seasons airing 80 episodes. 
Then we moved onto watch

He doesn't know what to say to his brother when he sees him next.
