Dorothy Parker
Welcome to my Thursday Fun 💪
Nice big hug to start the day!
Brew with breakfast.
Thermal vest put on.

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one 😘 before I leave.
No need for gloves...
Note to self, take off a layer for the afternoon shift...
Already getting hot under the collar before I start!
I put on my lights..
Now to Rock 'n' roll...🍭
My side of traffic was at a standstill, the otherside the cars had  no intention of stopping, a few cars had to use there brake hard to stop!
At least they just about stopped!
It started to drizzle for a short time...
I survived this shift.
I collected the newspaper on the way home.
Coffee machine was put on...
Dishwasher was loaded up and put on.
I thought the blog won't take too long to write it....
But first coffee!
Looking back in yesterday's newspaper,
Which was quite interesting:
I wear my trainers out, so won't have to worry about not wearing them!
Spinning bike in at number 8...
Speaking of Yoga mat, I have one, and because of my dodgy knees, I haven't got it out yet!
Done my 2 minutes silence...
Finally finished yesterday's blog post by lunchtime.
Now for round 2:
No gloves again needed.
Both friends arrived early.
So we did a convoy to put on my lights and walked back to the bench for a jolly good rabbit...
Said goodbye to them, just before I started my shift.
One large van went under my stick.
Going to carry on from this morning.
At least I finished in one piece.
Home Time.
Must needed brew needed.
Feeling terrible, so a quick power nap is needed!
Had a nice warm hug off hubby when he came back.
Tea is served.
Now to watch the first episode of the first series TV series "Fame".
We watched the first 3 episodes...
I looked in today's newspaper.
The Beatles with Billy Preston release "Get Back" in UK in 1969.
Sleep Tea Time.
 The Friday Feeling is back tomorrow 🎈

Getting Ready To Go Back!

 Rain is one thing the British do better than anybody else -
 Marilyn French
Welcome to my Halloween 👻
It was nice to have a lie-in...
Lots of rain going on outside...
Nice hug with brew.
Breakfast.
My watch has a button that has stopped working to put back the hour and minutes back!
I bought this watch four years ago...
Speaking of four years ago.
I had a major accident which involved my achilles tendon snapping off, breaking a bone in my foot. 8 months off work, learnt to walk again. 
The NHS,family and some good friends help me get better a lot quicker!
As soon as I got back to work at my old lollipop job, 
(I did 21/2 weeks before I broke up for the 6 weeks school holidays)
Then I was made redundant from it :(
At least I have another lollipop job to do....:)
One minute raining heavily, then it stops...
I put my lollipop stuff in the car ready for tomorrow. 🍭 
Coffee time.
Washing machine went on.
My hunt for a simple watch was on.
I was not going to get a £350 watch....
I don't need the bells and whistles......
At least a good DVD boxset arrived.
One son filled out his application to get a Passport.
(He is going on a Foreign School Trip next year)
I sorted it out.
The other son needed a Scientific Calculator for his A level Maths and Chemisty.
I got that for him.
I finally found a watch that wasn't in the £££££'s.
Lunchtime.
Now to watch Red 2.
Really Great Film :)
After watching it.
Time to write my blog post from yesterday!
Then it was time for showers for everyone!
Tea time.
Then to watch the first disc of the Kenny Everett boxset that was delivered today...
George Harrison's "Something" is released by the Beatles as a single in UK, his first "A" side in 1969.
Dame Shirley Bassey did a good cover of it...
Sleep Tea Time.
Back on the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow.
(Hopefully without all the rain we have had today)

Misses It Again!

 The safest way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket - Kim Hubbard
 Welcome to my Hump of the Week🐫
Nice hug with brew to start Hump Day!
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Got one son up for school.
Now to share out my sloppy wet 💋💋💋 
On goes the summer coat.
As soon as I take the Tree Pic,
Down came the rain.
I put on my lights, and hurried back to Sexy Beast.
I changed into my Winter Coat and went to start on my spot.
No sooner as I had started, one woman in a black car nearly had her windscreen smashed by my lollipop stick as she failed to stop.
I shouted, "Missed!"
Five minutes later the same woman came to see me and said sorry for not stopping!!!!!!
I am circling this day, as it's not going to happen again!
The man in his Rolls Royce went past me, talking on his mobile phone. 
Blue skies appeared and it was getting well warm in my winter coat!
Finished in one piece.
Now off to B&Q. 
I got some bits to paint the hall ceiling over the weekend....
Next into Asda for some milk...
Nice tv!
 I was chatting with a man near the CD section.
I picked up the 60's CD and put it in my trolley.
He said to me:
"I never really appreciated The Beatles in the 60's until now.My daughter likes the group, Manfred Mann!"
I replied to him:
"I like the  Manfred Mann as well, I even sent Manfred a 80th Birthday card last year!"
Then the conversation finished.
I picked up some sunflowers for the garden.
&
A 60s CDs I haven't got. 
Back home.
Repotted the sunflowers in the garden.
Now for a much needed coffee.
Got tea ready for later...
Sausage Casserole with mash!
Once everything was done.
In the red heavy casserole dish it went.
Now for my light lunch.
It started to rain when I left the house.
I just had a few songs left on my 50's CD to listen to.
When I got to Lollipop job.
The new CD went in.
There was 40% chance of rain...
The winter coat went on,
As well as the boots.
I turned on my lights and chattered with one of the parents.
The sky didn't look too good for rain either!
Let the fun start...🎈
One old man in a red car failed to stop.
Nearly went BOING BOING on his car roof as he went under my stick!
The rain clouds cleared, the sun came out and the temperature went up....
It's a good job I carried some water with me, it was so hot in my winter coat!
Finished in one piece,
Now to strip off the winter coat and boots!
Back home for a much needed ice lolly!
I had a lovely ice lolly to cool down with.
Wrote yesterday's blog post.
Hubby came back with today's newspaper and next's door magazine.
Dished up the sausage casserole.
One son went to a pub to watch the football game.
While we watched the Blu Ray of Justice League.
(4 hours and 2 minutes long)
We got through 50 minutes of the film.
Son needed to be picked up from Pub.
The score was:
England 2 Denmark 1 
The final is on Sunday!
Quick look into today's newspaper before bed.
The Beatles's "All You Need is Love" is released on this day in 1967.
"The Spy Who Loved Me", 10th James Bond film starring Roger Moore and Barbara Bach, premieres in London, in 1977. 
Let's hope I'm in the Summer and not the Winter Coat tomorrow!
