My Lumo Coat Isn't Bright Enough!

If you play with anything long enough it will break - Murphy's Law
Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Nice big stretch \o/
We will be doing the Heardle later on.
First up,
Brew with Breakfast.
Dressed.
Now out of the house...
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.
I goes and gets newspaper.
Comes back for my Summer coat with gloves.
It is getting a bit colder in the mornings now!
Goes and turns on my lights.
Let's go to work!
The fun I have on a Monday morning!
Lots of cars failing to STOP
Boing Boing I go.
The blue mini whose driver called me a Arsehole, doesn't stop until I am in the middle of the road!
She done her normal Limbo dance under my stick. Only inches from her windscreen!
Lots of cars breaking at the last minute!
One set of parents comes out of the sideroad, instead of using me, they run over the road in front of moving traffic!
Then we have the lorry parking on double yellow lines!
I was glad to finish in one piece!
Back home I go.
I puts on the coffee machine.
Irons my clothes ready to put on for the job interview.
On goes some make up, tights and then clothes.
Quick coffee time.
Got everything ready to wear and folder.
Off I go.
Parks at where the job interview is being held.
Has a chat with some old customers of mine while they were enjoying the coffee morning.
Then I had a chat with one of the clerks.
"I do scrub up well, when I have too." I responded to how good I looked.
I got called into the interview.
3 people were on the panel to aske me questions.
"Do you have office experience?"
"None whatsoever!" I responded.
"How did you get ready for this interview?"
"Sorted out my certificates in order!" 
I was thanked for coming.
In there for 30 minutes instead of 45 minutes.
Back home I go.
Got out of my best clothes.
Early light lunch is needed.
Now out I go for the afternoon shift.
By the look of those cloud and Google saying 50% of rain.
On goes the big coat.
Turns on my lights.
Sits in Sexy Beast.
My friends arrive for a good rabbit.
It was time to start,
I said goodbye to my friend.
Part 2.
Oh dear it's the same as this morning's shift.
It was like I was invisible again.
One van which failed to stop on the otherside of the road nearly had a tap and crack on his windscreen.
I think the button on my big stick which said "Invisible" was stuck on.
Lots of BOINGS given out!
The set of parents that fails to cross with me in the morning, and risk life and limb crossing in moving traffic, decides to cross with me in the afternoon instead!
The rain clouds disappeared, and the sun came out!
One van decides to park on the double yellow lines so I couldn't see any cars coming up the road!
I was glad to finish in one piece.
Back home.
Time for a much needed brew!
Now to try and update the blog!
I get a phone call from the place where I had my Job Interview.
I didn't get the job :(
However I was like a breath of fresh air in the interview!
Wrote one blog post.
Now onto a Meat-Free Stir Fry.
Hubby has gone back to playing snooker.
He didn't sound too well when he phoned me.
I looked into today's newspaper.

US No.1 on this day in 1960:

Made sure hubby was wrapped up well!

Glad To Be Back!

I like being President. The pay is good and I can walk to work - John F.Kennedy
Welcome aboard the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
(After nearly 7 weeks off) 
It started to rain outside.
Those sexy lumo trousers will have to be worn!
Heardle Time!
Headle 60s:
My answers:
Breakfast with Brew.
Dressed.
On goes those sexy lumo trousers.
First day back to work!
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I went.
Goes and gets my newspaper and next door's magazine.
Gets the big winter coat, and boots on.
Now to go and turn on my lights.
There was a big queue of parents and children waiting for the bus that takes the children to Grammer School.
Turns on my lights.
Let's go to work!
I only had 2 of the 4 schools open today.
Only 2 years are going in the High School.
The new Year 7's of the High school was looking really smart when I crossed them over.
Just 15 minutes into my shift.
It stopped raining, and the sun came out!
I was getting well warm in my lumos!
It was nice to catch up with what has been happening in the past 7 weeks.
Some parents were so glad to see me!
I thought I was going to give out no BOINGs.
I was so wrong, by the end, I had given out 3! 
I finished in one piece!
I soon took off those sexy lumos when I got back to Sexy Beast.
I got chatting to someone about a job advertised on the Notice Board.
"Go for it, you will regret if you don't!"
I gets home.
Coffee machine went on.
I had to have another wash and change of clothes, I sweated that much!
Coffee time!
I got the Cottage Pies ready for tonight's tea.
In the oven they went for later.
Right, let's get on with filling out the application form for this job.
I first had to convert from PDF to Word.
Sorted out the spelling mistakes.
Made the boxes bigger to fit all the exams I have took.
Got two names to give for references.
A former employee once said to me, on completing Microsoft Word level 3.
"It's not worth the piece of paper it's printed on!"
I did get my own back, when she was working in the office and couldn't get the printer to work.
I said,"Put the number 40 in the printer settings, Oh I learnt that doing Microsoft Word Level 3!"
Emailed the Job Application off.
Wish me luck!  
Light lunch. 
Now for round 2.
Those dark clouds look worrying.
On goes the winter coat.
Puts on my lights.
Goes and get a much needed lolly.
Fetches my big stick.
Catches up with the gossip.
One friend arrived for a chat.
My other friend probably didn't read his text messages, as I sent him one to say "I'm Back!" 
I had a good rabbit with my friend up to the time I started my shift.
Said "Goodbye" to my friend.
I was expecting rain.
I only got sunshine, those dark clouds disappeared and the sun appeared.
I was so warm in my big coat!
3 BOINGs given out.
Chattered to one parent.
I mentioned I celebrated my 11th wedding Anniversay yesterday.
He says,"I have my 20th wedding anniversary next month."
"Are you going anywhere to celebrate?" I asked.
"The same place we have celebrated the last 19 years, at home!"
I also commented about us going to see the Minions movie last Saturday.
He and his kids went the same time and day as we did, and was stuck with someone
 talking on the phone, the whole time the movie was on!
I finished in one piece.
Back home.
In need of a brew!
Oven went on.
Now to write yesterday's blog post.
I gave hubby a wet sloppy one when he came home 💋
Cottage pie is served.

I turn on my lights.
Now for the fun to start on a Monday! 
Let's hope they keep it clear!
The traffic lights wasn't hindering the car drivers for not stopping for me!
One blue BMW done the limbo under my big stick, but couldn't carry on any further as the traffic lights were red!
On the other side, 3 cars, one and the other just ignored my big stick and kept going.
Few more BOINGS  given out!
Suddenly a blue 20 plate Skoda went past...
Short blonde hair, big big sunglasses...
GOT HER!
The same car that tried to run me over in November. It didn't help that the lights turned RED and can the last three letters of the licence plate!
*VU20 ---* 
Finished in one piece.
On the way home, a lorry pulled out of a side road, and nearly took me out.Two large blasts of  horn was needed!
Finally got home.
Coffee machine was put on.
I put my Summer Coat on a short wash.
Hung it out on the line to dry.
Did some more washing.
Coffee time.
Tried to reach a box on top of the shelf in the Dining Room.
Will have to get one of the tall sons to reach it.
As the box contains the cake tin, I am using for the LGBT+ Bake Off in August.
I finished in 2rd place last time.
I tried to put the throw on the our bed, and the link broke in my watch strap!
I then nearly cut off a finger by moving a Craft knife I used to cut adhesive tile covers with!
Anything else wants to go wrong why I am breathing!
I go outside to water the plants.
I need some fresh air after that!
Light lunch time.
Now back out for part two.
The Summer coat had dried nearly. 
New set of traffic lights on the way!
