Stop Monday, I Want To Get Off!

One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say - Will Durant
Welcome to my Monday๐ŸŽˆ
Back on that Wobbly Work Wheel๐ŸŽก 
 I enjoyed a much needed hug and cup of tea!
 I gave everyone their sloppy ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ’‹ before I left the house.
It still feels cold↓
 I have a quick look in the newspaper before I start↓
Don Wilson, American guitarist (The Ventures).He is 87 years old ๐ŸŽˆ

 My tree picture↓
 The car drivers are actually stopping for once!
Except for one car driver,
Who had a option to stop or her windscreen gets put through.....
Bonus 50 points denied!
It is still a bit windy around certain parts!
I finished in one piece!
Now for some serious singing..
  I gets to have my B3 space↓
 
 Oh la la la!
Now for chat, coffee and nibble!
 I said goodbye to my friend.
Now for some more singing↓
Back here after 5 days away↓
 They coped a lot better while I was away.
(The former worker did her old job for 3 days. I asked if she is coming back permanently?)
I had some nice cards↓

 I left with a nice red face.
More singing to do!
 Gets home↓


 
 Someone had blocked up the toilet!
I flushed it after using the toilet brush.
The brown water came came over rim of the toilet, all over the floor and onto the landing!
Great!
Jam jar, bucket and blue gloves were needed for this!
Done!
Unblocked..
I didn't even have time for a coffee!
As it was raining,
I put on my sexy yellow trousers for my afternoon lollipop job..

Dark clouds are coming↓
 After half an hour, the black clouds went...
Blue skies and sunshine!
I survived in one piece.
Back home↓
 The kids saw the mess in the toilet.
One said sorry for blocking the toilet.
His punishment was to load up the dishwasher!
I go off to The Better Place Of Work.
As soon as I get in, I was told to deep clean a office upstairs...
I replied:"I did it on Friday night...!"
So I go and do it again..
I was just about to turn on Henry, when I was told:
"I didn't mean now....!"
Too late, Henry is now on!
Later on I was discussing a meal that was planned for April....
There were four going.....
I was asked to come along anyway.
"I only go if I am invited.When are you going?"I replied.
"After work, oh you will be still be here......!" The reply came back to that. 
I brought back the free picnic basket I asked for↓
 I had a much needed coffee!
Followed by Duck Stir Fry↓
 Then to burn it off doing final job of the evening↓
I talk to the full moon on the way back home.
If my dad is listening, tell your prodical son to stop stripping the house!
 I take off the hot rollers↓
 Time to sleep off this bad afternoon!

Quick coffee and nibble before I go to The Happy Place Of Work.. ↓
Someone was liking my butterfly scarf a bit too much..
(Not wearing it there no more)
I was expecting to get everything done in the time limit, until people was doing overtime!
I gave up by 5.30pm.
I will finish it tomorrow!
