Knowing More Than I Did Before!

A guy knows he's in love when he loses interest in his car for a couple of days - Tim Allen
Welcome to my Magic Saturday 🎇
Had enough of the snores coming from Sleeping Beauty.
So I slept badly on the sofa.
Lots of ...
Got up before Sounds of the 60s was about to start.
Cup of brew time!
I listened to "Sounds of the 60s" while catching up with the blog!

Sleeping Beauty came down and we had breakfast together. I was so tired from not having enough sleep.
I went off back to catch up on some sleep.
In the meantime, hubby dropped off son at work, and got the newspaper.
I woke up later on.
Dressed.
 I enjoyed a much needed coffee in the front garden.
Then for lunch.
Then out in Sexy Beast to check it's tyre pressures.
Before we left, I heard a man shouting from the otherside of the fence.
As I reversed off my drive, a man who shouting at a woman in a white long volvo in the car park of the factory next to us.
Does the tyre pressures.
Goes back home.
Man is still shouting at the woman in the car.
I grab my Crystal Healing folder.
Hubby phones the Police about the Domestic happening.
Off I go to, my course I am doing at:
There was only 5 including Joe.
Really enjoyed the course!
Learn more about crystals too :) 
Back home.
The Police did come and talk to the man on his own for a good 30 minutes.
The man and woman then left together.
Nice sit in the garden to collect my thoughts!
With a much needed lolly!
We did the Heardles while we were chilling.
Heardle 60s:
My son's answers were:
Joe and younger son went on Big Doris for a ride.
