Thermal vest goes on.
It's a bit windy but dry out there.
I gives hubby another sloppy wet 💋 before I left.
The hall car park was closed.
I parked around the corner.
Someone said "I should carry some bolt cutters,", when they asked why I was parking here!
I got my two hats on with the big big gloves.
Off I went to turn on my lights.
Turns on the lights.
Now for the fun to start..🍭
Just as I started, a black Audi stopped in the Keep Clear space, so unable to cross a child over. Had to walk further up the road to stop traffic to get the kids over.
My deputy boss turned up and stayed until I finished.
He saw the cars going under my big stick.
Then car stopping at the last minute.
He was quite amazed by it all.
Finished in one piece.
Then the rains came in.
Quickly got changed and jumped into Sexy Beast.
I got the newspaper on the way home.
The coffee machine was put on.
Kenny the Kenwood came out for a little play for tonight's pudding.
They were put in the oven for later.
The Soup maker came out to make some nice soup for later.
Once the soup was made, it was poured into a jug and bowl to cool down.
Then the bread maker appeared like magic.
Put that on before I enjoyed my soup.
Chicken, Mushroom and Coriander.
Coffee time.

Said goodbye to my friends.
Now it's round 2.
The cars on the otherside of the road are failing to stop.....
(Eyeroll time)
Ten minutes before the end, it started to rain!
At least I finished in one piece, just a bit damp!)
Hometime.
The breadmaker finished.
We have bread!

Now to see how many tanks I can spot this morning...
Only saw two, is better than what I normally see...
Nice the normal white car on the otherside doesn't stop for me, she might be running out of luck soon!
Still had to do a few more BOINGs!
At least I finished in one piece!
I picks up the newspaper on the way home.
Puts on the coffee maker.
Chops some veggies and put on the soup maker.

While I had some spare time.
Time to reply to the American Prison Pen Pal who sent me 2 letters last week.
I wrote him 6 pages.
That should keep him happy :)
The soup was ready to dish up.
I had a Labour leaflet pushed through the door.
Didn't knock the door.
Only hear the Councillors when they want to be re-electioned! 
Dished up my soup.
Chicken,Leak,and Parsnip.
My new arier arrived.
I got in touch with Dunelm for my refund.
It is now been SIX  weeks since I put the order in. Waiting 3 weeks, and then cancelled it.
Now the excuses pile up:
1: The Manager at my local store hasn't received my order to give me a refund.
2: The IT department are working on it to find my order.
3: Today's excuse, is the only member of their IT team is now on ANNUAL LEAVE and I have to wait for them to come back!
I got sick of this utter crap and wrote a email to their CEO. If I don't hear nothing from him, I will go further up the food chain! 
Now off to do my afternoon shift.
Next door's carers had to move their car again.
On goes one winter hat and lightweight gloves.
I got talking to my friend who has had his hand op the other week. He had come back from Stratford upon Avon on the bus and dropped his earing aid. He was just on the way to the bus stop when I got chatting.
I told his wife, "Since I have been wearing a facemask, I can't wear earrings, as they don't stop long in my ear lobes!"
Puts on my lights.
Now for a little rabbit with my friends.
The sun kept appearing from behind the clouds.
I said goodbye to my friends.
Now to have some fun 🍭
Oh dear, had 3 straight cars go under my stick.
BOING x 3
Some cars on the underside had to stop very quick!
At least I finished in one piece!
Hometime
Now to get changed into the pink lyrca!
I watched the last of The Irishman while doing my spinning.
Then onto the abs machine...

Cools down.
