Welcome to my Tuesday 👅

Bruises appearing on my knee still...

Brew and hug time.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he left for work.

I did the same to our kids before they left too.

I enjoyed a much needed coffee...

My Zoflora order arrived \o/

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

No post today..

(I am waiting on a pattern to make a large bag to hold fabric in)

I had some light lunch.

Now to make something with this↓

Out comes the sewing machine.

Had a minor break at 3pm for tea at 3.

Back to it....

Finally made something beside facemasks.

Dust cover for the sewing machine!

Now to catch up with Top of the Pops from 1990.

I actually bought the single and still have it.

I really liked it :)

(Another single I bought at the time)

I fast forwarded to the next episode of Top of The Pops.

(Another single I bought!)

They played out with a good song from Aerosmith.

The next two episodes are on this Friday \o/

Time to dish up the meat free Stir Fry.

Now to move onto Hell's Kitchen Season 4.

Hubby went to Morrison's to get some blue milk.

The eggs had all gone, and big packs of toilet rolls again.

Now to catch up with

The Great British Bake Off...

This time last year I went to the Craft Show at the NEC. Producers from the show wanted me to sign up for The Great British Bake Off.

I said,"No way!".

At the end of the episode tonight, they want people to sign up for series 12.

I said to hubby, "No way!".

Quick read of the newspaper.

Locke's autobiography, The Good, the Bad, and the Very Ugly: A Hollywood Journey, was published in 1997. She died on this day in 2018 aged 74 years old.

Now to enjoy some Sleep Tea before bed.

Hoping for a sunny Hump Day 🐫 tomorrow.

One son moaning about how many were around the lake, and how rammed it was...
