Behind every successful man stands a woman. And behind her stands his wife - Fay Weldon
Welcome to my Tuesday 💪
Nice warm hug.
Brew with breakfast.
Thermal vest goes on.
Dressed.
Now to leave the house.
Fetches the newspaper on the way.
Sees my gold diggering brother at the Petrol Station.
My mobile phone decides to play up when needed.
One driver all over the road, goes past,
and he has his mobile phone stuck to his ear when we went past him.
Then he overtook us,
(started to slow right down)
He slowed down even more coming up to the Road Traffic Island, just to make it bit more amusing, two cars jumped into the space that was left between us and him.
We parked in the car park, and now to look for some bargains.
We went into The Works, and picked up two boxes of charitable Christmas cards for next year. We had a look in the Craft Shop.
Next to look in the Garden Centre.
I got a few bits.
Nice glasses pity I don't drink alcohol!
Now went for a much needed coffee.
I had a Americano with Almond Milk,
As they don't do full fat milk!
Now for lunch!
Now to walk it off!
I met a dog called Ralph and had a yak with his owner.
The only other Ralph I knew was:
Now back on the road, home.
Gets back home.
Unpacks the small amount of things we got.
Now for a very strong cup of coffee...
My son's Air Frier came out to do their tea of chips and fishcakes.
We were still full up from lunch.
We watched a great film...
Now to catch up with some Christmas Specials of Top Of The Pops.
1986.
Then onto 1978 Christmas Special.
I got on with writing yesterday's blog post.
Then a quick look in today's newspaper.

News time.
Sleep Tea Time.
Bed early as having a road trip to Alcester tomorrow!
Oh dear, it was getting worst as my shift went on. No one was stopping, just kept going under my stick and just giving me the look when they went past.
Oh well, at least me feet are still on the pavement!
I finished in one piece.
I got the newspaper on the way to get my back wiper changed.
He came out, and in seconds it was done.
"It looks quick, but I have been doing since I was 12 years old!"
"Wow," I replied.
I said "Goodbye," and drove home.
I put on the coffee machine.
Loaded up the dishwasher and put it on.
Now for that much needed coffee!
Now to get yesterday's blog post.
Light lunch.
Now for round 2.
One song that I was on repeat was:
Wears one hat, and gloves.
Turns on my lights.
Has a rabbit with my two friends.
I noticed my parcel I had ordered was delivered to the nearby supermarket. I will pick it up afterwards.
I said goodbye to my friends.
Now to start my shift.
Different from this morning.
Cars were actually stopping for me!
This carried on until I finished.
Now to fetch the parcel from the supermarket.
It is massive and heavy.
(Good job I left my lollystick in the car)
Now for the journey home.
One white car I was following, decided to signel right at the roundabout.
He was in the outer lane, I was in the left hand lane. I carried on over the roundabout, and I looked at my mirror and woe and be hold the white car was following instead of turning right!
I was glad to get home!
Time to put the tea in the oven.
Nice cup of brew to keep warm.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 when he comes home.
Now for tea to be served.
Quick look into today's newspaper.
