Welcome back to the Friday Feeling 🎈

No sunrise :(

The thermal vest still goes on.

Final day at work!

Time to leave the house.

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

On goes the Summer hat and summer coat.

I walk down the road to turn on my lights.

Buys the newspaper.

Swaps the newspaper for my big stick.

Goes and turns on my other lights.

Let's go to work....🍭

It was a bit quiet for traffic.

(Not like yesterday!)

Last minute braking and BOINGs given out.

Finished in one piece.

Off home I go.

There were two Council vans over the drive.

I went round to my neighbour's house and two workmen were in there deciding on what room to start on.

I asked if they could just move the van up a bit so I could get my car on the drive.

They told me the kitchen has to be ripped out, and the shed has to go.

The van was moved down and I parked on the drive.

Now for coffee!

There was lots of drilling, and banging coming from next door.

(Wait to see if the bamboo is going to be chopped down)

Household chores done.

Downloaded photos for yesterday's blog.

Liquid lunch time.

It was forecasted to rain at the time I start the afternoon shift.

It was too warm to wear those lumo trousers.

Those dark clouds look grim↓

Had to listen to a good song on repeat,

Can you guess which one it was?

(It's at the end of this blog post)

I puts on my Summer Coat and Summer hat on.

Goes and puts on both sets of lights.

I visited the Charity Shop for a rabbit..

The Corner shop was closed to get the Post Office fitted in it.

(Post Office opens on May 19th)

Goes back to Sexy Beast.

I takes the lining out of my winter coat.

I put that on, and my waterproof shoes as those dark clouds are coming over.

None of my friends, came for a rabbit.

I'm need of a Boost now! 

One school was let out early.

I goes over to my spot.

Soon as I started the rain came down....

It rained for ten minutes.

Stopped.

Still had cars stopping in the Keep Clear space!

Lots of BOINGs given out for cars not stopping.

Then it started to rain again!

Grrrrr

Finished in one piece.

I got talking to someone about how much fun I am going to have being an Councillor for over an hour!

Wishes them a good Bank Holiday Monday.

Back home I go.

I went to see what the Council had been doing to next door's house.

All the kitchen cabinets had been ripped out.

The three interior doors were outside.

The fireplace was ripped out.

There was a crab in a bag on the floor↓

And some Cinnamon sticks if anyone is interested?

Gets the tea on the go.

Now for the fun to start....

It went quite well.

Only one BOING for one car that didn't stop on myside.

It was different the otherside.

One yellow car just carried on going even though I stuck my stick well out!

It was nice to have a chat with the parents again!

Survived the morning session.

I gets the newspaper on the way home. 

On goes the coffee maker.

I chopped up the veggies for my Meat - Free Stir Fry later.

Then it's soup time....

Now for part two.

My friend dropped off some lovely stuff for me.

She went off to park her car.

I got my winter hat on with gloves.

I turned on my lights.

Now to enjoy a bit of a rabbit.

Felt better after that!

I said goodbye to my friends.

Now for the afternoon fun...

All was going so well, when I held my stick out in front of me, a red car went straight under it, doing the Limbo Dance as it went under!

A van driver a few cars down, stopped by the side of me, and said:

"You missed a trick by NOT giving the windscreen a crack with the stick!"

"Always next time!" I laughed.

Home Time for me!

 I then got chatting to another friend about his Christmas.

He paid £85 for a Christmas Dinner at a Pub on Christmas Day with his family.

The Starter was nice, Christmas Dinner, He had fish, abit tight on the vegetables he said.

The Cheesecake for pudding was lovely.

He is having his other hand done next week.

He fixed his £500 Spin bike he bought off Amazon.

I wished him good luck for the op next week.

Now home I go.

I had a much needed brew.

I had two more bears....

Now to put up the new Guardians of the Dining Room↓↓

Now to dish up the grub!

Yum Yum.

Now to look into today's newspaper.

Johnny Ray  was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist. Highly popular for most of the 1950s, Ray has been cited by critics as a major precursor to what became rock and roll, for his jazz and blues-influenced music, and his animated stage personality. Tony Bennett called Ray the "father of rock and roll", and historians have noted him as a pioneering figure in the development of the genre. 

He would have been 95 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 63 in 1990.

The Invaders, starring Roy Thinnes as an architect who learns of an alien invasion already underway, traveling from place-to-place attempting to foil the aliens' plots and warn doubting officials and the public, airs its first episode 55 years ago today in 1967.

USA No.1 on this day in 1976:

 C.W. McCall - Convoy

The first episode of the BBC1 comedy drama series, Lovejoy, with Ian McShane in the lead role of a roguish antiques dealer, was broadcast in 1986. It ran over 6 series, totalling 71 episodes, until 4 December 1994. 

The very first episode of 'The Sopranos' premiered on HBO on this day in 1999.

 It went on to run for six seasons and became one of the most popular and critically acclaimed shows of all time.

Hubby had won his two matches with the lucky cue I bought him for Christmas \o/

Sleep Tea time.

Now to get into that really warm bed with even warmer hands ;)
