Doing My Own Christmas Card Delivery...

"Anger is the feeling that makes your mouth work faster than your mind" - Evan Esar
Welcome to my Saturday....πŸ˜€
I woke up early....far too early for a Saturday...
Nice cup of tea to start the day with.
Now to update the blog by publishing 3 days of blog posts.
Halfway through, Sleepy Beauty woke up.
He got the son whose Boxing lesson is this morning up.
A had a Christmas Present delivered, that was due for yesterday!
(Christmas Jumper Day is the clue)
We hadn't had no mail since Wednesday, so I wasn't really going to suspect any mail yesterday.
Warm hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Hubby dropped off son at his Boxing lesson.
I posted 3 blog posts.
Dressed.
Washing machine and tumble drier went on.
Once son had been collected from Boxing lesson.
We went out in Sexy Beast...
Christmas Card Delivery Time.
Every year it is getting less and less.
My good friend of 27 years died in May so that's one less Christmas card :(
After an hour, all was delivered.
I will try and go to the Post Office to send more cards next week.
Quick lunch.
Hubby then went food shopping with younger son (Who is doing next door's shopping as well)
I have to catch up with 2 episodes of Top of The Pops from 1990...
Next Episode:

After watching it. I caught up with today's newspaper.
Concetta  Franconero  better known as Connie Francis, is an American pop singer, former actress, and top-charting female vocalist of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although her chart success waned in the second half of the 1960s, Francis remained a top concert draw.
She is 83 years old 🎈
Charley Pride was an American singer, guitarist, and professional baseball player. His greatest musical success came in the early to mid-1970s, when he was the best-selling performer for RCA Records since Elvis Presley. During the peak years of his recording career (1966–87), he had 52 top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, 30 of which made it to number one. He won the Entertainer of the Year award at the Country Music Association Awards in 1971.
Pride was one of three African-American members of the Grand Ole Opry (the others are DeFord Bailey and Darius Rucker). He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2000.He died aged 86 on this day in 2020.
When hubby came back with the shopping. 
Once the shopping has been put away, I started on the tea which involved Meat Balls!
We caught up with 2 weeks of
"Have I Got News For You!"
Followed by 2 episodes of Season 19 of Hell's Kitchen.
Followed by one more episode of Hell's Kitchen season 14....with Sleep Tea!
Got loads to do tomorrow.....
Off to a warm bed with even warmer hands...
