Time To Unplug!

"Welcome this morning with a smile! Happy Saturday!If you don't have a smile, I'll give you one of mine." - Anon
I slept well with the ear plugs for 6 hours.
Now time to unplug....
For "Sounds of the 60s".
 Fell back to sleep....
 I woke to find my new t-shirt had arrived↑↑
Once we finally got out of bed...
Reheated up last night's pizza for lunch↓
 Fresh air time↓
 Does my cleaning job, while hubby does my dad's shopping.
I gets back to enjoy coffee and nibbles↓
 
 Hubby couldn't drop off my dad's shopping,as the prodigal brother was visiting our dad.
He got my supply of "Shake and Vac."
 To make room in the freezer,
I used apples, blackberries in the pan.

Ping Time...

Middle age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday Night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you! - Ogden Nash
Woo hoo Saturday is here...
I managed to hear the last 20 minutes of "Sounds of the 60's". 
I heard a good song to start Saturday with...
 We were going to do our food shopping early before it's gets busy!.
 Fresh air time...
 Lidl time....

One woman picked up a reduced chicken,
I picked up the other one...
I could hear her gums banging together to her husband when I walked off with it! 
We nipped into Home Bargains.
We couldn't visit Waitrose, as the car park was full!
 Next we visited Pets At Home for hamster and gerbil supplies
 Lovely little hamster like our Ruby↑
Pops round to see my dad.
Back home to unload the shopping.
Puts the oven on and it keeps tripping the electric!
Good job we have a microwave!
