Making The Most Of The Sunshine!

Good news rarely comes in a brown envelope - Henry Goldsmid

Welcome back to Monday 👍

Got up a bit later than normal.

Still squeezed in the Heardles:

60s Heardle was:

At least my youngest son got it!

Time for breakfast with brew.

Dressed.

Now time to go outside in the sunshine...

Puts on those big big sunglasses..

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 😘

I go and get the newspaper first.

Then I put on my Summer coat.

Turns on my lights.

Now let's go to work!

All the parents were glad of the sunshine.

Told them it's going to be v hot on Friday...

Going to be near 29c.....

Oh dear I had to give out 6 BOINGs.

The 7th car had to do a emergency stop!

At least I finished in one piece.

I paid a visit to Co-op.

Got some more bits for the Stir Fry tonight.

Some of the food prices have gone up so stupid.

I had to choose between a pack of Poppadoms at £3.50 or another pack priced at £1.20!

Got my vegetables for the soup this week.

Back home.

Puts on the coffee maker.

Puts the shopping away.

Washing machine goes back on.

Chopped veggies for soup.

Even the soup make goes back on.

Now to enjoy my coffee outside!

Waters all the plants.

Empties the dish washer.

 Looks at the winter duvet on our bed. It will have to come off sometime this week! 

I hope the sheet and duvet cover I bought from Blackpool fits a King Size bed!

Time for some liquid lunch!

Now out to do part two.

Slips on my summer coat.

Turns on my lights.

Now waits in the square for my friends.

My friends apppeared.

Now for a little rabbit...

Once it time to start,

I said goodbye to my friends.

I must turn invisible as cars were not stopping on the otherside.

It was getting quite hot in the summer coat.

About 4 BOINGs were given out.

I finished in one piece.

Home time.

Back home.

Nice cold lolly.

Then I wrote two blog entries.

Hubby a sloppy wet one when he came home.

Meat Free Stir Fry.

Welcome back to the Friday Feeling 🎈

I was so stiff from sleeping on the sofa last night.

I woken up by sleeping beauty....

While he was making breakfast, I got dressed.

(No thermal vest needed)

Time for...

We did all the Heardles...

My favourite was Heardle 60s...

Now to leave house for job...

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one before I leave.

I fetched the newspaper and next door's neighbour's magazine.

It was going to rain, 

On goes the winter coat, with summer hat and no gloves.

I turn on my lights...

Let's hope the car drivers are gentle with me after the last few days I have had!

No chance!

One car went straight under my big stick, and was inches away from his windscreen.

I was in the middle of the road, and the Learner left it a bit too late too brake.

An emergency stop was done, inches away from  me!

Many of parents were glad to see me back.

They asked how the funeral went.

I told them what went on, and they couldn't believe it.

"I won't be seeing them again anytime soon \o/" 

I said.

Then a BMW driver tried her luck!

My big stick was out in front,

Windscreen or stop

Emergency stop at the last minute.

I safely got back to the pavement.

The rain was carrying on.

Finished in one piece.

Back home.

Goes back out...

Coffee Date.

I chats with the current postman to find out what's happening with the repick.

The whole office has had a repick, all depends on how long you have been there.

I would have been there for 32 years....

Now for coffee!

My friend joined for a good yak!

Another coffee and nibble.

Yum Yum.

Enjoyed the chat, coffee and nibbles.

Now back home.

Didn't feel like soup.

Turkey and Mustard sandwich.

Now out for part 2 of the day.

Various weather reports say either cloudy or rain.

I got out my summer coat.

Turns on my lights.

Waits for my friends to arrive. 

My friends appear.

Time for a rabbit...

Wished them a good weekend.

Now to do the final shift of the week.

Oh dear back to it again.

Nearly clipped a windscreen as it went under my big stick.

One man is a red car went under the stick.

I did the BOING, he turned into the side road.

Kept shouting at me!

I crossed more kids over the road.

He then came back for another go at me.

He parked on double yellow lines and delivered two bags of food at the house opposite me.

He kept shouting at me, I ignored him and carried on doing my job.

After that fun episode, nothing else happened.

Finished in one piece.

Home Time.

In need of a brew!

Now to get the blog updated.

Wrote about yesterday.

Now to put the blog back on!

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one when he comes home.

He does the tea....

Tea is done.

Yum!

Nice warm hug to start Monday with!

Brew with Breakfast.

Then before there is a rush for the bathroom,

I'm in there first...

Thermal vest goes on....

Now back on that Wobbly work wheel 🎡

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one before I leave.

At least the sun is coming out!

Two winter hats and warm gloves are being worn this morning!

I turned on my lights.

Now to walk down to my spot.

Back to normal again....

Car drivers just not bothering to stop...

Few BOINGs handed out for those that didn't.

Some on the otherside of the road, just don't car eless and keeps going, even when the big stick is coming out!

It didn't help with my bum bag slipping down my body and dropping on the pavement!

(Needs to tighten it up!)

Oh well, at least I survived the morning shift!

I picks up the newspaper on the way home.

The coffee machine goes on.

Now to break in the new bread maker.

Nice bit of bread mix to go on with...

Cheddar and Sun Dried Tomato.

Plus the soup maker goes on as well.

Once everything starting making everything.

It's coffee time!

Now to carry on writing yesterday's blog post up to lunchtime.

Soup is served up.

The bread was ready just before I left.

It smelt lovely!

Now for part 2.

The sun might be out, but that cold blast from the wind.

Still two hats and warm pair of gloves goes on.

Puts on my lights.

Going to have some fun with that low lying sun.

Met up with my 2 friends for a good Rabbit.

Time goes quick when you chat.

Said goodbye to them.

Let the fun start!

One white car was coming up the road.

Stuck my big stick out,

Guess what?

She put her foot down and went under it at 50 m.p.h!

She had a extra special BOING when she went under my stick!

Still had to slow down to turn left up the road!

One red car stopped over the road in the Keep Clear space, looked at me and my big stick, drove down a bit and got out of the car and came up to have a word.

He is going to say sorry for parking in the Keep Clear space.I was wrong, He wanted to know where the red school was?

I gave him directions, I could have acted dum, but I didn't.He turned round and went past without saying thank you.

Still had fun giving out BOINGs.

At least I survived!

Home time.

I covered up Sexy Beast as there will be a frost tomorrow.

Now for a much needed brew!

Marmite on some nice bread too↓

Sorted out tonight's tea.

Pizzas went into the oven.

I did my meat free Stir Fry.
