I'm not a snob.Ask anybody.Well, anybody who matters -

Simon LeBon.

Welcome to my Saturday 👣

Nice warm hug.

Brew with breakfast.

We listened to "Sounds of the 60's" 

UK Top 3 from 1960. 

3: Michael Holiday - Starry Eyes↓

What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For?↓

Thermal vest goes on.

As well as some layers.

Now out of the house we go.

Parks car.

Now to look in the first Charity Shop.

There was nothing in there.

Picked up an Americano

(With blue milk)

Plus a cake to eat later on.

Moving on with the Road Trip.

Lots of bargains we got.

Nipped into Waitrose for some bits.

Then back out for a nibble!

On the way back, 

Hubby got his car cleaned...

All nice and clean now.

Back home to unpack all the lovely bargains.

More jigsaws for younger son to do.

Lunchtime.

We rewatched the Meatloaf programme again from last night.

Really good programme.

R.I.P Meat Loaf.

Now to put all the Minions together. 

I will have to make some trousers for the Hulk teddy.

Younger son already did one Jigsaw that we bought earlier.

I carried on writing two blog posts.

Hubby recovered from his migraine.

(Slept it off)

To do the tea.

Tea was finished.

Blogs were published.

Time to catch up with 2 episodes of Top of the Pops from 1992.

A good song was at number 11.

There would be a new number one for the next 8 weeks...↓

Marcella Detroit was sacked in 1993 from the band.

 While unsurprised at the final dissolution of the partnership, Detroit was distressed by the way it ended and how it was announced. Many years later, she would comment "I was never in it to steal anyone's glory away; I just did my job. I was asked by everybody to become part of it and then everybody wanted me out... I learned a lot about what it means to be an artist... To put two people as different as we were together – well, we were bound to have differences personality-wise. In the video for 'Stay', I was singing to this guy who was dying and she (Siobhan) was the Angel of Death. We used our personality differences to our advantage, but it was a little too real!"

Detroit and Fahey had not spoken to or seen each other for 25 years before eventually meeting and talking again in 2018.

They did some good songs together in 2019.

I looked into today's newspaper.

Bill Bixby  was an American actor, director, producer, and frequent game-show panelist. His career spanned more than three decades, including appearances on stage, in films, and on television series. He is known for his roles as Tim O'Hara in the CBS sitcom My Favorite Martian, Tom Corbett in the ABC sitcom The Courtship of Eddie's Father, stage illusionist Anthony Blake in the NBC crime drama series The Magician, and scientist Dr. David Banner in the CBS science-fiction drama series The Incredible Hulk.
He would have been 88 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 59 in 1993.

Exactly a week after it aired in America, the first episode of Hill Street Blues received its UK premiere on this day in 1981.

Joan Armatrading releases

"Drop the Pilot" on this day in 1983.

On this date in 1984 "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood reaches number one in the UK singles chart, despite the BBC ban; it will spend a total of 42 weeks in the top 40.

"Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes was the #1 song on the Billboard charts today in 1984. It was the first of two 2 straight weeks on top.

Airwolf, the action drama tv series debuted today in 1984. The series ran for a total of four seasons airing 80 episodes. 

Then we moved onto watch

"Dragon's Den"

Next Room To Do!

 The only success the mother-in-law had was with the council, selling her mince pie lids as manhole covers - Les Dawson.

Welcome to my Sunday 💓

I woke up early, and needed a cup of brew.

I got on with writing my blog from yesterday.

Once finished, I woke up Sleeping Beauty up with a nice hot coffee.

We finished off the crumpets.

Now to get some layers on,

And go on a ride with Sexy Beast. 

First, to check the tyre pressures.

It didn't help a Black BMW parked over the first tyre pressurer machine, but was using the second one!

Next off to visit my mum and dad.

I removed the two wreaths.

Looks like no one else had been up except me!

Someone had drove in the wrong way, and was waiting for me to leave, so she could reverse all the way out!

Back home to put on the coffee machine.

Next job was to sort out boxes on top of the kitchen cupboards and inside the cupboards.

Coffee first.

Noah and the Whale came on the radio.

Again they blanked out some lyrics again.

 "She went down on almost anyone"

I have heard worst lyrics than that they allow to play!

Now to start on the kitchen!

I found two boxes of glasses I had from my dad's house last year.

They will come in useful, as I only have the minion glass :)

Lunchtime.

Put all my new diffusers in the same place.

Bag of paperwork to go through tomorrow.

Hubby and younger son put some things up in the loft.

Too late to start on the roast dinner.

Use up the Christmas themed pasta instead.

I added Spinach,garlic,chilli flakes, and mushrooms to the homemade Pasta Sauce.

There were four empty plates afterwards!

Dishwasher was loaded up afterwards.

Time to catch up with Top of the Pops from 1992.

Oh dear the fast forwarded button was used up to the number 1.

The second episode was a bit better.

At least they played the Genesis video in full!

Shakespear's Sister was on.

(Cut the song off half way)

Curtis Stigers was also cut of in mid song.

Hubby is rewatching the second episode on his own on Tuesday night, as I am not wasting my precious time watching some crap songs that was on!

We tried to watch something on Netflix, and one of the children was watchin instead.

We let it go this time,next time they are coming off it!
