Don't look at me in that tone of voice - Dorothy Parker

Now for that coffee!
Hubby is still feeling rough from Covid.
So is older son who is suffering from it as well!
I am carrying on painting the front of the house tomorrow morning as it is still sunny!
Light lunch time.
Then I write yesterday's blog post.

Go On Do It!!!!!

A dress has no meaning unless it make a man want to take it off - Francoise Sagan
Welcome to my Saturday fun of bargains 🎲
We did the Heardles before breakfast.
Heardle 60s:
My son's answers:
Breakfast time.
Now out of the house....
Drops off son at work.
Now onwards to Droitwich we go.
So much traffic before we actually got there!
We parked in the Waitrose car park....
So we can have a nice walk up to the Droitwich Lions event.
Now to look around the Droitwich Lions's event.
I bought a great big hamper
(To put all my fabric in)
Lots more as well.
Hubby had to go and fetch the car to put it all in.
Once we loaded his car up with it.
He went back to park it back in Waitrose car park.
Then I waited for him to join me.
First we needed a drink!
I found all the main characters of the film, "The Secret Life of Pets" in teddy form.
Two didn't have a price on, and the woman made up the prices.
I went back into another charity shop and got the film on DVD for 50p!
Still went looking for more bargains.
Nice single :)
Nipped into Waitrose for some bits.
This was in the reduced items bin↓
There was a nice car in the car park↓
Back home to unpack all the bargains.
Another Minion to add to my collection!
Light lunch time.
Then hubby and younger son went out to do the week's shopping.
I in the meantime had to move about everything, so the big wicker basket could be put in and all my fabric put in.
Got two wicker baskets to take over to my late father-in-law's house tomorrow,to put where the Fridge and Freezer was.
Then I start to catch up on my blog.
Hubby comes back with the food.
Then we drop off son.
I have to go to 3 shops in one hour to pick up bits to take to my late Father-in-law's house tomorrow.
First stop was Dunelm.
Only had to pick up one item...
3 people in front of me, two people on the tills.
I thought I was bad when I go in there, one person's bill was £53.
I finally pick up my one item, comes out of the store. I walk over the crossing to the car park, when this blue car appears, and just drives at me on the crossing, I get over the otherside when he stops the car and shouts out of the window:
"Are you trying to get run over?"
"I was on the crossing,it was my right of way,"I replied.
I must have took him by surprise
(Not used to a woman answering him back)
"That's not a crossing!" He shouted at me.
"If you want to run me over, reverse and finish the job!" I shouted back at him.
He then parked his car opposite where my hubby was parked. I got in the passenger seat and looked in the rear view mirror.
He got out and followed wife into Dunelm.
I thought he wanted another word in my ear.
He is probably not used to trying to get hit by traffic twice a day like me in my job, 34 wks of the year!
Next stop was Tool Station and Screw Fix.
Finally got home!
Unpacked my stuff.
Hubby put the tea on, as I have blog posts to finish.
We even got to hear the whole of "Sounds of the 60s.
UK top 3 of 1965 
3:
The Fortunes - You Got Troubles
2:
The Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man
1:
The Beatles - Help
Quick look into today's newspaper:
US No.1 on this day in 2016:
Sia featuring Sean Paul - Cheap Thrills 
Sleep Tea time.
Bed time, as we are well busy tomorrow!

Things Can Only Get Better!

I can't cook. I use a smoke alarm as a timer -Carol Siskind
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Nice warm hug.
Brew with breakfast.
No thermal vest needed.
Hubby is back at work today.
Speaking of work, off I go to mine.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet one.
I went and got today's newspaper and next door's magazine.
I slipped into the winter coat, but took off my jumper as I was getting warm.
Rain wasn't forecasted until after I finished.
After I put on my lights, the rain started!
Good job I had my winter coat on, as the summer coat doesn't have a hood!
It rained the whole time I was on duty!
I had one BOING.
Finished in one piece.
I go off to Co-op to do some shopping.
Back home to unpack it all.
Coffee machine went on.
One of my sons came back from school with a Wonky Box.
The soup maker was put back on.
Time for coffee!
Time for some liquid lunch...
Hubby had a good return back to work.
Speaking of work, time to go back to mine.
I put on my summer coat and  hat.
I turn on my lights.
Then wait for my friends to arrive.
Time for a rabbit!
Once it was time to start.
I said goodbye to my friends.
It was a bit quiet at first, then went crazy.
A man over the road, fell from his bike and lay in the road. Everyone went over and put him the Rescue position.
Then he stopped breathing. A blanket went up and everyone was taking turns to give him CPR.
One man shouted at me,"Will the lollypop woman stop the traffic coming down!"
I was stopping the traffic to cross the kids over!
Soon the traffic was backing up on my left.
All the car doing U-turns, One Ambulance turned up, the De-fib was being used. The Paramedic also came down to help. 
The kids in cars coming up the road were upset going past the man in the road.Soon the traffic was stopped coming up the road. The woman in her silver grey Land Rover that tried to run me over, had to leave her landy down the bottom of the road and walk up to collect her kids. She huffed and puffed as she went past me twice.
Soon the traffic were stopped coming down at both ends. Some of the general public think I can direct traffic, or stand up where I put on my lights and stop traffic coming down the road.
The Air Ambulance came to see if they could help.
 They had been giving him CPR for 40 minutes now.
Another ambulance arrived as I finished.I went the back way home.
I phoned my boss up and asked I carry on with my job and not direct traffic.
Correct they said.
Time for a much needed brew!
Puts the tea in the oven.
Hubby comes back and has a sloppy wet one.
Yum!
