Breaking Them In!

Brass bands are all well in their place - outdoors and several miles away - Thomas Beecham
It's so nice to be on the Wobbly Work Wheel🎑
Nice hug with brew.
Breakfast.
I gets up one son for school.
What to wear today???
Something cool.....
I gives out wet sloppy πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹
Now to leave...
&
Big big sunglasses..

 
Now to break in my new trainers 
&
New rim on my lollypop stick!
On goes the summer coat as well.
Tree Pic.
Now for the fun to start...🎈
I only started when someone in a black car came speeding down the road at the same time I had my Lollipop stick out in front of me trying to cross some children over.
He looked at me, I looked back...
Two choices...
Stop or windscreen will get a crack in it!
He stopped \o/
No sports cars this morning.
At least the sun was out, and getting the rays!
Finished in one piece!
Back home.
Coffee time!
The youngest son finally got up!
Now to see a man about some new carpet!
He didn't have enough red carpet for the landing :(
The purple was a tad expensive.
I told him I don't do grey carpet....
The red stripes looked nice....
Number 1 in Redditch! For a bit more I could get the stairs done as well.
(I have had the stairs carpet at 2 other properties I lived in since 1996!)
All bought and paid for...
Nice carpet in the house ready for the weekend!
Nipped into Sainsburys for some salad.
Last stop was the garden centre.
Picked out some house plants.
Now for coffee...
Son had a nice doughnut...
After drinking and eating, we went to look about the store.
£799
I found some houseplants half price.
I picked up a Peace Lily, and 2 Mother in laws tongue plants at half price.
When I got to the till, I had a bit of ado with the sales assistant who tried to charge me for the plastic saucer the Peace Lily was sitting in.
I told her to keep it and take it off the bill.
It came with plant, she wouldn't have it.
So I got the plant and not the saucer! 
Plants put on the back seat of Sexy Beast. 
When I got home, I repotted the plants.
Just had enough compost!
Even got a Venus Fly Trap!
Light lunch.
Now back out into the sunshine..
The summer coat goes on.
It's not supposed to rain until later..
We will see...
Some car drivers are ignoring the new rim on my lollipop stick and driving under it!
One day it will go BOING BOING on their roof as they drive past!
Finished in one piece..
Had a good yak with my friend for a good 40 minutes!
I said goodbye and hopefully see him soon.
Back home.
I ate a 50p meal I bought from Co-op yesterday..↓
I will be glad of the Stir Fry tomorrow night!
Now to write yesterday's blog post...
Hubby arrived from seeing his dad.
Now to catch up with today's newspaper...

He is 78 years old 🎈 
Richard Donner (born Richard Donald Schwartzberg;) was an American director and producer of film and television, and occasional comic-book writer. After directing the horror film The Omen (1976), he directed the superhero film Superman (1978), starring Christopher Reeve.
Donner later went on to direct movies such as The Goonies (1985) and Scrooged (1988), while reinvigorating the buddy film genre with the Lethal Weapon film series. He and his wife, producer Lauren Shuler Donner, owned the production company The Donners' Company (formerly Donner/Shuler Donner Productions), best known for producing the Free Willy and X-Men franchises. In 2000, he received the President's Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. Film historian Michael Barson writes that Donner was "one of Hollywood's most reliable makers of action blockbusters"

Now time to get off the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎑

Into a warm bed...
