Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈🎈

Time for me to leave as well.
Gets the newspaper.
Drops son off at work.
Now time to B3.
Now to have a look around.
Goes into Hobbycraft.
While paying for my items.
The staff at the till was talking about film trailers.
I mentioned the new John Wick 4 has landed.
One mentioned the film,
"The one with the shark?" I asked.
He says, "It was a good film," and 
I might check it out.
I told him to check a good film out:
Time for coffee and nibbles.
My friend arrived.
Time for a yak, coffee and nibbles.
After two cups of coffee.
It was hometime!
I wished my friend a good weekend.
On the way home, down the duelcarrageway,
There was a Land Rover trying its damnest to catch me up.
It sat in the righthand lane for the most of the time trying to speed up!
Being a Land Rover, they are not built for speed.
I got off my junction, and it still tried to catch up with me.
I thought it was following me home, it turned into a junction, not far from it.
Lunchtime.
Then I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Afterwards it was time for me to leave.
Haircut time!
Gets in early,
(As the traffic is bad enough at 5pm)
The Hairdressers hadn't seen before my late Father-in-law's funeral.
I had to tell them what happened, who said what, and who didn't say nothing to me at all.
I have all this fun stuff to have at the Party next week!
The weight has been lifted!
Feel like a million $$$$
Like my new hairstyle↑
Back home.

Watch Out For That Sun!

 Pissing in his shoe keeps no man warm for long 
- Icelandic proverb.
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪
I had a nice warm hug :)
Brew with Breakfast.
The thermal vest and many layers went on.
Good job I covered up Sexy Beast last night!
I gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋
Now to leave the warm house...
It's freezing!
On goes two winter hats, big winter gloves.
Now to walk up and turn on my lights.
Turns on my lights.
Now to walk on back down the road to my spot.
It's cold and frosty.
Two cars had to perform emergancy stops!
Three cars go straight under my stick like limbo dancers!
It doesn't help when car drivers don't scrape the car before they sat off...
Tank drivers I call them!
One woman I talk to was saying where her son is , in South Korea, it's -15c!
I laughed, and replied: 
"I won't never moan about -2c again!"
I survived the morning!
I move Sexy Beast.
I post the letter to my Prison Inmate in the USA.
Then it's into the Co-op...
Plenty of reduced veg to make soup with this week!
The self-service till kept going off with all the reduced items I had bought!
Then onto get my newspaper and next door's magazine.
Now home:
Coffee machine goes on.
Unpacks the shopping.
Now to get tonight's tea ready.
Pork Chops pan fried.
Stuffing added to them.
Put in oven ready for later.
All the vegetables put in their saucepans.
Now I need that coffee!
I wrote yesterday's blog post all the way to dinnertime.
Now to reheat the soup we made last night.
Sweet Potato, Carrots, Onions and Parsnip.
The sun was out, and that normally means low lying sun!
Big Big Sunglasses go on.
Two winter hats and gloves go on.
The low lying sun is back!
I turn on my lights.
Now for a little rabbit with my friends!
When it was time to start.
I said goodbye to my friends.
Now for the fun to start!
One grey car that never stops, kept going again under my stick it went!
A green car done the same.
My friend returned with his dog for the last 10 minutes.
The red car from Monday returned, and kept going under my stick again, and then turned left further up the road! 
At least I finished in one piece.
My friend, his dog and me went back to my car.
While chatting, we noticed something up in the sky!
I said to my friend:
"They finally found us!"
He laughed.
He said goodbye, and walked home with his dog.
Home time for me.
I covered up Sexy Beast.
Put the bins out for tomorrow.
Put the tea on.
Now to carry on watching a good film, I missed yesterday.
Cup of brew time.
Time to dish up the tea!
Yum Yum!
4 empty plates afterwards.
Time to look into today's newspaper.
John William "Long John" Baldry  was an English-Canadian blues singer, musician and voice actor. In the 1960s, he was one of the first British vocalists to sing the blues in clubs and shared the stage with many British musicians including the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. Before achieving stardom, Rod Stewart and Elton John were members of bands led by Baldry. He enjoyed pop success in 1967 when "Let the Heartaches Begin" reached No. 1 in the UK, and in Australia where his duet with Kathi McDonald "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" reached No. 2 in 1980. 
He would have been 81 years old.🎈
He sadly died aged 64 in 2005.
Randy VanWarmer (also written as Vanwarmer, Van Warmer) was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. His biggest success was the pop hit, "Just When I Needed You Most". It reached No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart in September 1979 after peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks earlier that year. 
He died on this day aged 48 in 2004. 
Barbra Streisand was #1 on the Billboard Easy Listening singles chart with the song, 'The Way We Were' in 1974.
Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes was the #1 song on the Billboard charts today in 1980.
I went for a hot shower, and left hubby watching his Tales of The Unexpected boxset.
Now to settle down to watch the news and the newspaper review.
Sleep Tea Time.
Now to enjoy some warm hump 🐪
