Banging The Rolling Pin...

Welcome to my baking Thursday🎈

The rain isn't going away just yet :(

 Hug and brew time↑

Has breakfast.

Gets changed...

No daily walk today....

It's pouring down with rain↓

 At least it's in the double figures↑

Once we got back...

 It was still raining↓

 I got the Birthday card ready

Out in the rain once more.

 Nips into Lidl.

Oh dear here we go again ...

A man had loaded up his shopping on the belt, he just stood at the beginning of it, picked up a box of coffee, looked at it, sniffed it, and put it back. I had kept my 2 metres distance. The member of staff at the till was waiting for him to pay for his items, and I couldn' t put my things on the belt until he moved. Once I loaded my items onto the belt, he was loading his things into his shopping bag so slowly, and gawping at me the whole time!

(If he wanted a picture of me, he only had to ask!)

I paid for my shopping, and while he was loading his shopping into his car.He was still gawping at me when I went past....

Off to see my good friend, to wish her a Happy Birthday 🎈🎈🎈

 I had a good chat.

Back home in the rain↓

 Coffee time↓

 Banging the rolling pin on the biscuits↓

 Used up the 10 limes↓

 In the oven it went.

 Light lunch time↑

The Key Lime Pie is ready

 Tea at 3 time↓

 We got 2/6 on the Tv themes quiz.

I had a quick read of the newspaper↓

 Alison Moyet  is an English singer, songwriter and performer noted for her powerful bluesy contralto voice. She came to prominence as half of the duo Yazoo (also known as Yaz), but has since mainly worked as a solo artist.She is 59 years old 🎈

    I made a Chicken & Mushroom pie using Filo pastry for the lid↓

 Off to work before the rain starts again

A big tune to start with↓

The clouds are coming over, once I finished.

 When I got back.

I did some bedtime reading.

I completed the online GDPR course
Just about passed!

(I will sleep well tonight after that!) 

Sleep tea time 

(Just to make sure I have a undisturbed sleep)↓ 

 Friday Feeling 🎈 is back tomorrow :)

Tuesday Thinking

People do not change,they are merely revealed - Annie Enright

I didn't have my normal lie-in.

I had to squeeze in a trip to Morrisons to get some urgent supplies..

 At least the sun is coming up!

I ran out of time to make my good friend a Birthday Card...

(At least I didn't forget ;))↓

 I gets back just in time↓

 Quick coffee & Liquid Lunch

Before I go out again

 

 Those dark clouds are back..

 

 Trying out a new CD to listen to.

It's a bit of a hit and miss on some of the songs. One of my favourites is on there..

I had a quick read of the newspaper↓

  

 Fingers crossed for dry weather

 The rain kept off \o/

Back on the road again...

 

 I had to tip some water out of some garden pots and the poor plants were drowning in water.

After our tea, I went over to see my dad.

He had the normal moans about my younger brother not coming around enough to see him.  

I did say stopping in bed causes a lot of over-thinking.....

He didn't listen and carried on with his moaning.

At least there was some pie to enjoy when we got back..

 Let's hope I don't have a troublesome Hump Day tomorrow 🐫

 

Thinking About The Good Times Ahead!

I hand in the receipt for some cleaning items.
I get asked "Why cola was on the receipt?"
"To clean a toilet with....!" I replied.

Sad news to hear  Aretha Franklin had passed away...
Two songs of hers helped my life better....

↑↑↑ The song helped me through the time of moving on from ex-plum to my new love of my life.....my second husband...💗💗
The second song is so good and lifts my spirits and gives me chance to have a good sing-a-long.
(It's at the end of the blog post)
All ready for the upcoming Friday Feeling..
