Behind The Green Door!

 Come on Marlene.Let's go home and ignore each other for the evening - Boycie,Only Fools and Horses.

Welcome to my busy Sunday💓

Little bit of a lie-in.

Hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Now to start to get the back garden cleared of stuff to go down the tip.

Filled car up, hubby and younger son went down to empty the car.

Meanwhile my other son and me were sorting through lots of black bags from the loft.

I found a Duck!

Edd the Duck.

When hubby came back...

Time for coffee!

Then to load hubby's car to go down the storage unit.

More sorting out to do.

Once car was loaded up.

We had a quick lunch.

Hubby went off to the Storage unit to unload his car.

Hubby comes back.

Now out in Sexy Beast. 

Check tyres,

Fill up, and get today's newspaper.

Back home to fill hubby's car up with more things to go to the tip!

Once filled up, off he went!

I found my Misty Annual from 1981!

I had this every Christmas until 1985!

Nice easy tea.

I was going to collect a Magic bag from Waitrose tonight, however they didn't have enough food.

So it was cancelled.

We picked up the first Magic Bag from Morrisons.

Then a Magic bag from M&S.

Now to catch up with a great film, we recorded earlier.

Sleep Tea time.

Quick look into today's newspaper.

David  McCallum  is a British-American actor and musician. He first gained recognition in the 1960s for playing secret agent Illya Kuryakin in the television series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. In recent years, McCallum has gained renewed international recognition and popularity for his role as NCIS medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard in the American television series NCIS. With John Leyton, he is one of the last living actors from the 1963 classic The Great Escape.

He is 88 years old 🎈

Michael  Elphick  was an English film and television actor. He played the eponymous private investigator in the ITV series Boon and Harry Slater in BBC's EastEnders. He was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the 1983 film Gorky Park.

In his prime, Elphick always looked older than he was, and with his gruff Sussex accent and lip-curling sneer he often played menacing hard men.

Elphick struggled with a highly publicised addiction to alcohol; at the height of his problem he admitted to consuming two litres of spirits a day, which contributed to his death from a heart attack in 2002. 

He would have been 75 years old 🎈

John  Challis was an English actor. He had an extensive television career but is best known for portraying Terrance Aubrey "Boycie" Boyce in the long-running BBC Television sitcom Only Fools and Horses (1981–2003) and its sequel/spin-off The Green Green Grass (2005–2009), as well as Monty Staines from the seventh series onwards in the ITV sitcom Benidorm, from 2015 to 2018. 

He sadly died today aged 79.

I actually met John Challis at a book signing in 2015.

Back on the wobbly work wheel tomorrow 🎡

Before I left the house↓

I saw a car driver eating toast,

Another one was drinking from a coffee cup...

I finished in one piece.

Back home...

 

 Done a bit of quick housework..

Followed by a much needed coffee↓

Followed by a early lunch↓

There was rain forecasted later on...

Surely after dinnertime?

I guess the year right :)

It was pouring down with rain.

 The temperature is going down↘↘↘

 Peaches and cream↓

I had to put on the sexy trousers as it was still raining↓

 The rain was not stopping any time soon.

Neither were the car drivers either.

One taxi driver had to stop! 

I got home in the rain.

 Ex-plum was there talking to his son.

He delivered my dad's flowers for the funeral tomorrow.

His wife is a great florist.

 I had a quick coffee and nibble.

 I said goodbye to ex-plum.

Now off to the Happy Place Of Work.

The good music was put on↓

 Back home for some nice tea↓

 Final job and singing to do↓

 I got back and hubby was sorting out his clothes for tomorrow.
He has a 75 year old bodyguard (His dad) going with him.
Lets hope the prodical brother of mine leaves his knuckles dragging on the floor and not to use them to punch someone tomorrow at the funeral or wake!
My other brother isn't speaking to me after I turned down his request for £500 last Thursday!
Tomorrow is to say the last goodbye to my dad ;'(
