Made My Monday!

 I was the only director who ever made two pictures with Marilyn Monroe. Forget the Oscar, I deserve the Purple Heart - Billy Wilder

Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Last Monday of January \o/

Heardle Time.

Heardle 60s:

My answers:

Breakfast and Brew.

Thermal vest goes on as well as lots of layers.

Still got a bit of a stomach upset, which I don't need!

Now to to leave the house.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.

I have to go the long way round to work to avoid 2 sets of traffic lights.

On goes the winter coat, 2 hats, and winter gloves.

I gets the newspaper.

Now to fetch my big stick...

I go and put on my lights.

Let's go to work...🍭

I just crossed someone over,I saw the small VW 19 plate car that wouldn't stop on Friday when I was in the middle of the road and nearly took my arm off!

I had a few BOINGs to dish out as well.

Nice to catch up with what's been happening in everyone's world!

I finished in one piece.

Back home I go.

The coffee machine goes on.

Loads and puts on the dish washer (twice)

Now to finish putting satin varnish on the toads we painted yesterday.

Left them to dry.

Now for some liquid lunch.

I was getting to ready to go and do the afternoon shift.

I had a interesting visit from the Council worker to look at doing the Pointing (to stop the wall wobbling when I close my back door).

He looked at it and we got chatting.

Half an hour chatting in the back garden,

Then I showed in the front of the house, and another hour of chatting....

I told him about the meeting I had, and piss taking I had from the three in the meeting about how much stuff I had, and hinting I am a Hoarder!

He laughed.

"No way  you are a Hoarder!"He said.

"You have made my day!" I replied.

He then went on to say,"If they say Hoarding again, just mention have they done the Dignity course?

That will should shut them up!"

Now to try to remember the Dignity course...

He then went on about a case of a Hoarder he had to deal with:

"3 level house, top floor hadn't been opened since 1971. All the rooms full on the second floor, the only room that was lived in was the Living room.

9 vans and 7 flat bed trucks it took to take empty the house!"

Then we go on to vinyl and Heardles.

He mentioned Alexa has a game of Spot the Intro. I will have a go on that later.

I said "Goodbye and hope to see you again!"

I looked at my watch and realised I might be late for the afternoon shift!

I had to go the long way around to avoid the traffic lights.

Just got one parking space that was left when I got there! Phew!

On goes my winter hat, winter coat and gloves.

As I turn on my lights.

I got chatting with a lovely friend who makes me laugh and vice versa.He is having a second bout of chemo for skin cancer.

I wished him well, and went and get my big stick.

One of my friends appeared.

He had walked down to the Charity Shop and looked through the window.

Someone went past and shouted to him:

"We know who you are looking for!"

I told him, "Too much yakking has made me late!"

My other friend couldn't come as her daughter had Chicken Pox.

Collected my stick and we went to wait in the square to have a little rabbit.

It was time to say goodbye.

Now to do the afternoon shift.

The low lying sun was a bit of a pain.

A few BOINGs given out for not stopping.

The low lying sun was being covered by clouds which helped!

Finished in one piece.

Home Time.

The No.1 on the Feel Good Chart that Greatest Hits Radio was counting down, turned out to be:

Get home.

The frogs had dried and to put them outside.

Now for a cup of brew!

I didn't have a Stir Fry today.

I am playing safe with a salad instead!

Only could eat half of it :(

Kids finished off their pizzas.

Then they went off to the Town Hall to observe the full council meeting.

I looked into today's newspaper.

I had a quick go on Spot the Intro with Alexa.

Oh well, try again tomorrow!

Let's hope for a even better day tomorrow!

Still a bit nippy.

Lots of layers to put on, under my Summer Coat.

Panda hat went under my summer hat.

I got the newspaper.

Now to turn on my lights!

Let the fun start 🍭

I gave out 5 BOINGs.

Tested some car brakes.

There was fun of a red car further down the road so the flower couldn't park in it's normal parking space. So it parked opposite me on double yellow lines!

Any other time, the lorry driver, waves at me when it goes past me.Not this time. Must have the Thursday Mood!

I finishe in one piece.

I nipped into the Co-op for some bits then home I went.

I put on the coffee machine.

I swept the path outside of leaves and old pears.

Got some large Bramley Apples for my friends.

In the bag they went, and in Sexy Beast.

Time for a much needed coffee.

Then two washing machine loads went on the washing line.

My new book arrived↓

As did my delayed Amazon from the day before.

Pity they couldn't find my front door!

Light lunch time!

Now to do the afternoon shift!

I just put on my Summer coat and summer hat when my friends to collect the large bag of apples.

They thanked me for them.

One of my friends asked, "If I know anyone who can do a wreath for a funeral?"

I do and she does lovely wreaths↓

She made my dad's wreaths and my late mum's flowers :)

She is very good at it :)

I will pass my friend's number over to her.

I put on my lights.

Then it was time for a little rabbit with my two friends. 

Until it was time to say goodbye.

Part two time.

The wind was getting up again!

Some drivers just ignored my big stick again on the otherside of the road and just driving through!

Those on my side had to stop as I stuck my big stick right out!

Testing those brakes again!

At least I finished in one piece.

Home time.

Much needed cup of brew needed!

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Hubby was trapped in traffic in Evesham.

He got back half an hour late.
