Crossing Sides!

When a man tells you he got rich by hard work, ask him whose - George Bernard Shaw
Welcome to my sunny Thursday 😎
Breakfast and Brew
Dressed.
Now out of the house I go...
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I left.
On goes the summer coat, summer hat
&
Big big sunglasses. 
I walked down the road to turn on my lights.
I bought the newspaper on the way back up.
Swapped my newspaper for my big stick.
Ambulance was outside one of the houses on the same side my spot is in the morning.
I go and turn on my other lights.
While I am waiting to put on my lights, the queue of traffic is forming to get around the ambulance.
I go down to my spot.
The traffic can't see me stood on my spot.
I cross over the road and cross over the children from the side I normally use in the afternoon until the Ambulance has gone. 
Once it goes, I go back over the otherside.
Good job I did, I have a truck suddenly park on the double yellow lines...
I was glad to have finished in one piece.
I did the survey of the Recreation Ground.
Went down to the Charity Shop and gave them the shortbread I made.
Then back home.
Cup of coffee needed.
Loaded up the dishwasher up.
Added some washing to the line outside.
Lunch time.
It was a bit warm for liquid lunch.
I had a chat with hubby on his lunchbreak.
Now to add more suncream on.
Now to do the afternoon session.
Puts on the summer coat and summer hat
&
Big big sunglasses.
On the way to turning on my lights.
There is a new Pillar Box Topper...
Then it's time for a cool drink.
Very nice.
Afterwards I go and get my big stick out of Sexy Beast. And stands in the square for a little rabbit with my friends.
I say goodbye to my friends and does the afternoon shift.
Still have cars trying to get under my stick!
I lowered it really low on the third attempt of someone trying to drive under it.
A few BOINGs were given out for those cars failing to stop on the otherside of the road.
Finished in one piece.
Home time.
I had a nice ice cold lolly when I got home.
Then I got on with the tea.
Hubby came home and a sloppy wet one 💋.
Tea is served.
Yum!
I had a look in today's newspaper.
Mmmm another film to watch...↓
Great film :)
Caught some news.
Sleep Tea Time.
All ready for the Friday Feeling 🎈 tomorrow :)

Making The Most Of The Rays!

There is no such thing as a little garlic - Arthur Baer
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
I slept a lot better last night \o/
(I must be getting better!)
Taking another test tomorrow.
Now for brew with breakfast.
No sloppy wet one for hubby yet.
He went off to work.
I went back to sleep....
Later on the spur of energy came back!
The sun is shining.
Coffee machine went on..
As did the breadmaker and soup maker.
Time to enjoy some rays....
I moved all the windmills about the garden.
I gave the birds of the garden some bread and filled up their water bath.
I goes back inside.
Then I have honey delivery.
The Postman delivered my balloons for Mother's Day and wanted some biscuits for the dog over the road.
(I don't think he noticed the big red cross on the front door)
I didn't have no dog friendly biscuits to give him.
He then remembered I am still suffering from Covid, and quickly disappeared. 
The bread was ready.
Now to try some of that lovely soup I just made.
I spoke to hubby.
Then I remembered to write out next door's neighbour's Birthday Card.
Now to write yesterday's blog post.
Tea at 3.
Next door's son came round to say he will be moving his van soon.
(My hubby normally parks there)
I said "No problem."
(Hubby is parking behind Sexy Beast on the drive) 
Puts the food in the oven.
Hubby comes back home with the newspaper and next door's magazine.
He goes round with card and magazine to see our next door neighbour.
Tea is ready.
Next I ordered some groceries from Waitrose.
We have run out of nearly everything except bread!
If I hadn't had Covid I would have done a little bit of shopping at Co-op or Lidl.
Hey Ho, if I can't treat myself to Lentil Noodles when I can?????
It was getting dark by 7pm, so no point get the food delivered between 7pm - 8pm tomorrow.
Complete darkness out there.....👻👻
7am - 8am tomorrow morning instead.
Hubby and kids will be here to put the groceries in the shopping bag outside.
(I hope) 
I left hubby watching a episode of the Twilight Zone while I went for a hot shower.
Now to carry on watching series 3 of:
MGM Cotai, Macau↓
The Torridon, Scotland↓
Schloss Elmau, Germany↓
Quick look into newspaper.

Then off to separate bedrooms.
