Early Birthday Treat!

Ducking for apples. Change one letter and it's the story of my life - Dorothy Parker 

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Nice big hug with brew.

Breakfast.

I gave hubby a wet sloppy 💋 before he went to work.

I meanwhile made full use of that king size bed and went back to sleep!

Later on I got up, dressed and went out in Sexy Beast to fetch the newspaper and next door's magazine.

Back for coffee!

Then I wrote yesterday's blog all the way to dinnertime....

Then to some a little bit of housework.

Tea at 3. 

Before putting the tea in the oven. 

Once hubby came home, he had a nice wet slopply wet 😘.

We had a nice tea involving fish and wedges.

Now to give my dad a early Birthday Surprise.

Rainbow greeted us as we were leaving..

Balloon time 🎈

I added more flowers to his grave.

Then went to collect a lucky bag from Morrisons.

Back home to see what was in the bag.

Now to look in today's newspaper.

Verla Eileen Regina Brennan (née Brennen; ) was an American actress. She made her film debut in the satire Divorce American Style (1967), followed by a supporting role in Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show (1971), which earned her a BAFTA Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Nice hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Looked out of the window.

Rain!

Those sexy lumo trousers will have to be worn....

Wakes up one son for school.

I give out lots of sloppy wet 💋💋💋 

Winter coat gets put on.

And boots...

Tree shot.

It is still raining when I start.

Some cars were testing out how good their brakes were in the rain, when I stuck my lollipop stick out in front of their path!

No lambo today....

It stopped raining half way through my shift.

I was glad to let the zip down, as I was getting quite hot under the collar. 

Finished in one piece.

Back home to make cake....Birthday cake...

Kenny comes  out for a little play..

Strong coffee time!

Once the cakes when in the oven.

Time for some strong coffee........

Get's the cakes out of the oven to cool down.

Light lunchtime.

It forecasted rain this afternoon.

It was too warm to wear those lumo trousers again.

I put on my winter coat just in case it does rain.

I put on my lights, chatted with my friend who appeared without his dog. I had a good yak for 10 minutes. Said goodbye to him, and chattered to another friend just before I started my afternoon shift.

Three cars in one go failed to stop when I started. Going to go BONG BONG on a car roof if they keep failing to stop!

No sign of rain, so the zip went down a bit further but used the velcro to keep the coat done up!

Some parents were crossing further up the road, and not using me!

Great!

Glad to take off the winter coat when I finished in one piece!

Back home to finish the cake!

Cup of brew time...

One chocolate collar was added to the cake.

Now onto tea...

Nando's extra hot sauce added to it 

Next chocolate collar was added to it...

Now for some music to get me in the mood...

The balloons were pumped up...

Now to add them to the garden...

Cake is done too.

Hubby returned from visiting his dad.

Ran out of Sleep Tea......

Good dose of lavender pillow spray will be needed now!

It's Birthday Time tomorrow 🎈

 
 

I Only Went In To Get One Plant!

 Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before  -  Mae West.

Welcome to my busy Saturday ⚘

I got bit later than we normally get up during the week.

We caught the last hour of Sound of the 60s.

Brew with Breakfast followed.

Dressed.

Then to take son to work.

We popped into  Omega for a chat and a coffee.

We nipped into Boomarang and got two bargains.

One ideal present for hubby's dad who likes Blackpool.

We blew up the balloons to put on my dad's grave for Father's Day.

(It will be a nice surprise for brother's went they come up tomorrow to see him!)

Puts them on my dad's grave.

All ready for tomorrow.

At least it brightens up the grave yard!

Back home for a light lunch in the garden.

Then we went to pick up our son from work.

We carried onto Homebase in Bromsgrove.

Compost, reduced plants and pots....

Loads of bargains.

I told one woman while we were pushing the trollies back to the car;

"I only went into the store to get one plant!"

As the kids and hubby loaded up his car full of plants. I carried on talking and they went home to unload the car.

I was still talking when he came back.

(Nearly an hour later, I said goodbye to the woman, who I had never met until today!)

Off to Aldi to get a drink, my throat was all dry from all that talking!

Anyone fancy a mince pie in June?

Nice drink and nibble↓

We got home to unload our bargains.

Next to visit Co-Op for some more bargains.

Lots of things I can cook with on the reduced stand.

Back home to unpack.

Now to use some of the compost up to replant the plants I bought earlier....

Time to use those Diffusers I bought from Aldi↓

Now for a nice bit of tea.

Now to catch up with 4 weeks of Top of The Pops from 1991.
