Running Out Of Time To ...

There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want. - Bill Watterson 
We had the final lie-in of the week...
As it's back to school tomorrow....
  I had breakfast in bed.
Hug and kiss with hubby.
Then off to work I go...
 Pink hat time↑
Comes back to blue skies!
 I tidy up the kitchen,
(Saves time tomorrow)
I got the biscuit base done of the cheesecake.
Then my time just vanished!
We went out to fetch a coffee...
 On the way out, I see my favourite Lentils have 1/3 off...
I go back in and get four packs...↓
We get back to unpack the shopping.
Hubby goes down the tip.
I chat with neighbour and his son.
By the time I got in the house,
It was too late to make the chicken pie
&
Cheesecake.
I will make them tomorrow instead.
I removed the Christmas tablecloth off the Dining Room table.
I looked at the Birthdays
 Arthur Bostrom:Is an English actor, most famous for his role as Officer Crabtree in the long-running BBC TV sitcom 'Allo 'Allo!
He is 64 years old.
(Officer Crabtree was played as an idiotic British undercover officer, disguised constantly as a French local police agent during the Second World War. Much of the character's humour derived from his supposed inability to pronounce French words correctly in conversation, which, on an English-language television programme, was represented by ludicrous exaggeration and mispronunciation of ordinary English words. For example, "Good morning" would be pronounced as "Gid moaning", "I was just passing round the corner" would be "I was just pissing roond the corner", and famously, "The bombers were being chased by fighters when they dropped their bombs on the London docks" became "The bummers were being chased by farters when they drooped their bums on the London dicks'
Bostrom actually speaks fluent French)
 
 Anthony Minghella: English director and screenwriter (The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley) would have been 65 years old.
(He died aged 54 in 2008)

Lou Rawls: American vocalist (Dean Martin's Golddigers, Natural Man) dies at 72 in 2006.

Ice skater Nancy Kerrigan is attacked by Tonya Harding's bodyguard in 1994.
Now to enjoy the rest of Sunday with:
No late night as
The alarm clock is being used tomorrow....

 I got my order.
My mum's grave is going to look nice for her upcoming birthday next month :)
 While my hubby took my dad's cat to the vet.
I had to repot out new additions to the house.

So So Tempting

We had a bit of a lie-in 🛏
Phoned the council up about getting the waste pipe sorted.
Their Plumber said it wasn't classed as a emergency 😮
"Wash the clothes in the washing up bowl."
Nice advice!
So no use of washing machine or kitchen taps to be used until Monday.
Now to get the mobile phone sorted.📱
Had so many chances of taking photos...📵
But no camera at hand 📸😒
I was offered a new mobile....
The temptation was there....↓↓
I had a budget to stick to.....💰
While hubby was sorting out our Broadband.
I had a little play with their Apple music...↓
 Everyone had to listen to a nice offering from Taylor...↓
 Now to hit some 1960's tunes..↓

I was so so tempted to put my current fav 1960s song on......↓↓
And leave it on repeat...😉
After we had left the Mobile Phone Shop.
Time for a pick me up...
 Gets back home.
Added all my apps back onto the new phone.
Even had to add this great song ↓↓ as the ringtone.
(The looks  👀👀👀   I get when my phone rings in public!)

Play, Sing, Repeat x 3

Last day of the half-term holidays.
I was going to enjoy some Friday Feeling....
The sun was back!
 Nipped into Morrison's to do a bit of shopping with my sons.
Had to drag one moody son around the supermarket.
Oh the take-away coffee help me gain the Friday Feeling back..
I had one particular song I had on repeat playing in the Sexy Beast.
On the third hearing of the song..
One son said,"Not again!"
I turned it up a bit more just in case they missed any of the song twice before...
My friend who is in hospital.
Send me a picture of her lunch.🍴↓
This was mine..↓
 (Ham,English mustard, spinach, in a whole meal wrap)
To cap my Friday off....
My mobile phone packed up.
(Time to get out the old mobile out)
 Water is starting to appear under the washing machine....
(Has something been chewing on the waste pipe again??? 🐀)
Roll on the weekend..
It can only get better!!!
