Getting In & Trying It Out!

Nobody realises that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal - Albert Camus

 Boxing Day
Welcome to my Saturday 👯
Going out for some fresh air and getting some bargains.
I was celebrating 7 years of being tea-total, with a cup of brew!
Breakfast.
We had a bit of lie-in afterwards.
Then it was time to get up!
Both kids got up.
Taking out Sexy Beast... 
Nipped into Dunelm..
Filled up Sexy Beast with bargains.
Off to see mum and dad...
I see my younger brother had dropped off a wreath↑
I had a quick chat with my parents, before heading off home.
Light lunch.
Quick read of the newspaper.
Now to abuse Disney+
Followed by:
 Belated Tea at 3.
I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Tea time.
Finished off some of the turkey from yesterday. 
Now to enjoy some Sewing Bee.
Once we watched that.
We had something to catch up that we had recorded early on in the month.
Hubby had put the new duvet cover on the bed I had bought earlier.
I had to wait 3 years for it to be in the sale.
Sleep Tea time.
Now to try out the new duvet cover \o/
Let's turn off the light....

Jazzing It Up!

We may go to the Moon, but that's not very far. The greatest distance we have to cover still lies within us - Charles De Gaulle
 
Welcome to my Thursday👯
No problems on the snoring front....
Hug with a brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Hubby went out and got my newspaper for me.
He had a jolly good wet 💋 before he went to work.
One of our other sons couldn't escape from it either!
I went round to see my neighbour with his magazine.
I found out why I hadn't received my gardening magazine, as it was delivered to him and not me!
Back to mine for coffee..
Quick read of the newspaper.
 Jodie Foster is an American actress and director. She has received two Academy Awards, three British Academy Film Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and the Cecil B. DeMille Award. For her work as a director, she has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award.She is 58 years old 🎈
 I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Found out where the staples were stored.
Now to jazz up the floor lamp!
The trim was in the sale, in Dunelm before the second lockdown took place. I always find something to use things with.
I had to phone the Doctors, has I have been having stomach cramps for the past four days.
I read the leaflet for the tablets, if having stomach cramps stop taking them.
Will wait to see what the Doctor has to say about it.
Lunchtime
Plus 2 episodes of Hell's Kitchen season 9.
I actually had some post today.\o/
One Christmas present had to be hidden away!
The Doctor phoned. Stop the tablets straight away. If the knee is still painful, before I am due to go back, they will extend the sick note.
(I will so be popular if that happens!) 
Now to thread the bobbin!
Woo hoo....
My chalk and pinking shears has arrived!
Now to measure up the material for the curtain!
It has two layers of thermal backing.
After I clipped it altogether, pan fried the pork chops and let them cook in  some nice cider.
Got the curtain made \o/
Found some curtain rings I bought in the sale at B&Q a few months ago, that will help!
Dished up the meal for everyone.
Pork Chop with homemade Stuffing, on top of noodles with Crab Apple Jelly.
Then we caught up on the two episodes of Season 19 of Hell's Kitchen.
With Sleep Tea.
We are putting up the Christmas decorations up this weekend. How this year has gone, we need a bit of sparkle....
I'm glad I got my late mum's Xmas decorations from my dad's house↓↓
I was looking to see what is coming up on the early Black Friday on Amazon for tomorrow....
I might update the Christmas lights...
Our house won't end up looking  like Blackpool Illuminations, but it might be close!
Friday Feeling is back tomorrow🎈

A big parcel for me..↓

Breath of Fresh Air time!
 
Big big sunglasses time..↓
While I went to pick up my parcel from my local Post Office. I signalled to reverse into a parking space, when a car totally ignored  me and drove straight into the space I was trying to park in!
I park further up the road. While waiting to collect my parcel, the couple (who nicked my parking space) try to push the queue I was in.They got the hint from me to get to the back of the queue!.
I wonder what was in the parcel?
