Off It Comes...

Be nice to people on your way up, because you'll meet them on your way down - Wilson Mizner
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Nice big hug with brew to start Hump Day with.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
I got one son up for school.
Now to share out the sloppy wet 💋💋💋
Out I go....
On goes the summer coat
Big big Sunglasses 🕶

 
Now for the fun to start 🎈
The car drivers were actually stopping for me,
Well them on my side of the road...
The other side that was different!
Finished in one piece.
I went down to Co-op to get some bits for tonight's tea, went to see if the Hairdressers were open. Closed on the door.
Gets the newspaper and my neighbour's magazine before I got back home.
I put the coffee beans in the coffee maker.
Put all the tea in the oven ready for tonight.
Just phoned the Hairdressers to book to have my hair cut. They can fit me in this morning!
Quick coffee and back out...
I had a number 2 shave at the back, as it grew back too quick when I had the number 3 last time.
Nice and short!
All gone!
I nipped back into the Co-op to get the roast potatos for tonight.
Now for a light lunch.
More Hotel Inspector to watch.
Then back out...
The Summer Coat went back on.
I'm glad I had a bottle of water with me, it was so warm in the coat!
At least my hair is a bit shorter now!
Car driver couldn't decide whether they will stop or not.
I'm in the middle of the road, and up the road they come, see me at the last minute and slam the brakes on!
At least I finished in one piece!
Back home for a much needed lolly!
I actually did start to get the blog updated \o/

Quick look in today's newspaper.
More sleeping on top of the duvet tonight....
