Stripping Off The Layers!

Have you ever noticed that wrong numbers are never engaged? - Steven Wright.

Welcome to my Tuesday 🏁

Big hug to start the day with \o/

Brew with Breakfast.

Thermal vest going on, as well as lots of layers.

Gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before I leave.

Two winter hats, and winter gloves went on.

I put on my lights.

Now to walk down the road to my spot!

I did a few BOINGS as a few car drivers were not stopping.

It was getting well warm where I was stopping.

One winter hat had to come, followed by the gloves. Even unzipped my coat, I was getting well warm!

The woman that mouthed "ARSEHOLE" at me last year, went past me, and I gave her a glare!

I finished in one piece!

I got the newspaper on the way home.

I put on the coffee machine.

Amazon sent me a deal.

Not much of a deal I thought...

Lightning Deal = £6.79

Non- Deal = £4.99

Then got changed into the Pink Lyrca, ready for some spinning on my bike.

Great film to watch while I spin.

I was getting into 10 minutes, when my phone went.

It was next door, he needed help.

I went round with my younger son.

He was sat on his portible loo and had no toilet roll nearby. Handed him some.

We were have difficulty trying to get him back to his living room.

I tried shouting his son to come downstairs to help.

Nothing.

After two hours of sorting out the neighbour, the son appeared, all dressed, and kept saying,

"I'm not his carer!"

The situation didn't help it was bring memories of my dad being in that way, only 2 years ago.

We left, as son has to get ready to go to Sixth Form.

I needed a coffee by this time.

I had to get changed out of my Pink Lyrca, and put my Spin Bike away, as I had run of time!

I warmed up the soup for lunch.

Now to go out for part two.

I put one winter hat, and some lightweight gloves, as it is still cold!

I puts on my lights.

One friend is attending a Funeral today.

My other friend, and we had a good yak!

No sign of no low lying sun!

I said goodbye to my friend.

Now to start 🍭

Most car were stopping.

One car behind me was revving his engine up.

I wasn't being hurried to cross over the road.

Finished in one piece.

Home time.

On the way home, there had been a two car smash, so I had to go around by the Household tip.

I covered up Sexy Beast.

As it was going to be cold tonight.

I checked my mail, and got another response from a Prisoner in the USA.

In fact he couldn't believe I wrote to him, and he wrote two letters to me!

I will write the reply later.

I got on making a Leek & Goat Tart for tea.

Inbetween doing that, I was trying to get yesterday's blog post wrote.

Hubby came back and had a nice wet 💋

Dished up the tart.

It was yummy.

Finished off writing my blog post.

Now to look in to today's newspaper.

I start writing to my Prisoner Pen Pal,

Hopefully it won't be a cold Hump Day tomorrow 🐫

Friday 22 January 2021

Snowball Time!

The illegal we do immediately.The unconstitutional takes a little longer - Henry Kissinger

Welcome to my Friday 👯

Brew with a warm hug.

Breakfast.

Hubby is still running a high temperature.

We are awaiting the results of Covid tests from yesterday for us to see our Doctors.

Gets the kids up to do their on-line lessons.

We lie in bed listening to the radio.

Hubby is still looking green .

I get dressed and I need to do something!

Empties the bins in the house.

Loads and puts on the dishwasher.

Cleans the top of the oven, microwave and cleans out the fridge.

Coffee time after that!

Off out for some fresh air and a little ride in

Sexy Beast.

I gets the newspaper.

Next stop to do a little bit of shopping.

Oh dear.....

There was only two till operators. So we all queued down the aisle, someone tried to push in to get served before us of all.

One old biddie told them to join the queue. She got the message. I had one old boy who didn't unstand the 2 meter rule. Once I loaded my things on the till belt, he was standing next to me!

Great!

I had the result of my Covid Test come through.

Negative!

Paid for my shopping and left the store.

Gets home.

Unpacks the shopping.

We both phone our doctors up to have telephone appointments.

Quick lunch.

Guess the year time!

My Doctor phone me first.

He is putting in for a chest X-ray first.

As having a 6 week cough is rather worrying.

I did point out my hubby's late mum, had a long term cough, she kept going back to her Doctors from the September, in the December of the same year, she was told she had terminal lung cancer. She didn't smoke, but caught it from second hand smoke.

She passed away in the following April.

I mentioned I am tea-total for nearly 8 years.

He is also a tea-total for 3 years!

That broke the ice!

Just have to wait for the appointment for the chest x-ray.

Hubby's doctor phoned and it sounds like he has a very serious chest infection!

As we have snow forcasted over the weekend.

I decided to do

our shopping and next door's shopping today while the sun is out!

Grabs the shopping list and out the door we went.

A ex-boyfriend went past in a van and actually put his hand up!

He even waited up the top of road, when I reversed off my drive.

Off to Lidl's we went.

We finished before it got dark!

We got back before hubby!

(He was picking up his perscription!)

I got some great bargains from Lidl↓↓

After I put the shopping away.

Time to look in the today's newspaper.
