Turning A Nice Green!!

He's as slippery as an eel that's been rubbed all over with axle - grease - P.G Wodehouse
Welcome to my chilled Sunday🎈
I had a little bit lie-in...
Then it's tea and hug time!
 Now to leave the house↓
 Off to give Sexy Beast a shower!
 We went round to see my dad.
Oh dear, he hasn't got too long on this planet.
My hubby tried to put some gel on his knee, only he hasn't got no knee, he has got that thin!
I gets back.
Sexy Beast is looking well nice!
 A little visit out↓
 Interesting↓
 Cake and coffee↓
 Nice price↓
 Back home.
I did some housework..
Light lunch↓
 My right foot was hurting.
While I was resting my foot up,
&
catching up on this week's newspapers.
Hubby went food shopping.
My younger brother phoned up..
Then it started...
He wanted to clear everything from the first floor of my dad's house even though my dad is still alive!
I said "He was being disrespectful to my dad.As he hasn't gone yet!"
I told him,"I don't want him to do it, if he goes against me, I will cut him like I have cut off my other brother...!"
"I'm not making a profit out of it!" He squealed at me.
He tried to out shout me, and failed.
I was slowly turning green,as my anger level was going up ↗↗↗↗
In the end, I put the phone down on him.
When hubby came back, I told him of the event of me turning green! 
After putting the shopping away.
My younger brother phoned my hubby.
He said, " I have got the wrong end of the stick, just de-cluttering the first floor, not stripping out of all of the stuff...."
(He is back pedalling from last Wednesday's visit.)
My younger brother didn't tell me that my other brother was visiting my dad at the same time as he phoned my hubby.
Who's pulling whose strings????
I got on with the evening meal.
Using the nice casserole dish I bought↓ 
Another half an hour, my younger brother phoned my hubby again.
"Have you talked to my sister?" He asked.
"Can I come over tonight to talk to her?" He asked.
Hubby just told him to leave it for now.
Then he told my younger brother↓
"Make the most of the time your dad is here!"
Tea is ready↓
 Sausage and Dumplings!
 Younger brother keeps phoning my hubby!
My new plant I bought this morning↓
  We caught up on some telly programmes.
Top Gear Series 28
 Paddy, Freddie and Chris head on a British summer holiday in super-cheap second-hand convertibles. Chris tests the new Ariel Atom on track, and Freddie attempts to bungee-jump an old Rover off a dam.
Followed by:
 Louis Theroux - Selling Sex
 The exchange of sex for money is legal in Britain, so long as it doesn’t involve coercion, exploitation, or any kind of public nuisance. Now, fuelled by websites and social media, a new economy has emerged – bringing a world of transactional sex to people who might never have previously considered it. 
My younger brother texted my hubby and me, that is trying to spend as much time with our dad as possible and will clearing out his house at a later date! 
I looked at the Birthday's:
 Scott Glenn, American actor (Right Stuff, Personal Best, Backdraft).He is 79 years old 🎈
 Andrew Ridgeley, English rock guitarist (Wham) is 57 years old 🎈
Colin Vearncombe, English singer-songwriter (Black), dies after a road accident aged 53 in 2016
I have got my things ready for the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎑 for tomorrow!

Wow,They Look Good!

I can live for two months on a good compliment - Mark Twain
After going to bed at 2am this morning...
I had a much deserved lie-in!
Our kids were doing their good deed of the month by doing goal-keeping for the Redditch lions at the Green Fair around the Near-by lake today
Once they got up, 
Dressed,had breakfast, they were dropped off.
We had to do some errends ourselves.
 
We had to get another washing line,
As the last one was cut down to get the scaffording up.
Nice things in B&M.
Some people were sniffing the bottles of Zoflora.

So many lovely smells!
I got my dad's newspaper from Sainsburys.

Then off to do this week's food
I got two nice magazine holders for £3.99 each.
 
It's getting warm \o/
We gets home,
Puts the shopping away.
Now to head to the lake!



Some nice cars and motorcycles to look at.


Some birds of prey to look at.


I bumped into a ex-work mate who I worked with at "Fawlty Towers".
She was saying she wasn't getting no help with her daughter at the school.
I did say there were more than one school in Bromsgrove to go to if she wasn't happy!
There was a nice car to look at on the way out↓
The kids were given £10 each for helping out with the Redditch Lions.
We had a late tea due to trying to get things in the loft!
I meanwhile had to repot some plants and give them a good water!
Beans are growing!
  Lots of veg this year!
We caught up with this week's Top Gear..
Paddy and Freddie head to Borneo for a jungle adventure with the Gurkhas in a pair of very rare, very cheap old cars. Chris Harris tries out the world's most luxurious SUV, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, while Bob Mortimer is the studio guest.
Really good episode! 
All ready to mount the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎑 tomorrow!

Forever Monday

Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig - Robert Heinlein
Back on that wobbly work wheel 🎑
First thing to do....
Iron today's t-shirt...
 Followed by coffee and nibble.
  Sorted out the bathroom,
Where a certain shower caddy is going.. 
 Motto:
We don't NEED any more shower gels, bath bombs, shampoos for the rest of the year!
On to a light lunch 
 I'm hoping the rain keeps off...
 
 It was quite warm.
Had a quick look at the newspaper before I went in↓
 Fingers crossed the rain keeps away
 It was a good Monday shift.
On the way home, I did some great singing along...
It has reached 20c! 
\o/
 
 Coffee and nibbles↓
 Some new editions to my kitchen↓
 I went to my other job and got two thank yous from both bosses for alerting them to something on Sunday night.
 I got the tea sorted.
We finally got the shower caddy up in the bathroom.There are some nasty edges on some of the metal pipes! 
My dad rung me to say his carer hadn't come round.
We arrive the same time as the carer.
We make should he has his tea.
Then we get back home.
 Good job I didn't burn the homemade fruit pie!
Went to my other job with some music to sing along with...
Finally gets back..
I catch up with the new series of "Top Gear".
 In their first adventure together, Freddie Flintoff, Chris Harris and Paddy McGuinness head to the searing heat of Ethiopia in their first cars. Back at the track, Chris puts the Ferrari 488 Pista and McLaren 600LT through their paces.
Very good and very funny :) 
I hope to hear about the Lollipop 🍭 job soon....
Now for some sleep tea.....
