More Humpty Than Tumble!

 Welcome to my Saturday, not long to go until we go on holiday..🗼

As normal I woke up early.....

I enjoyed a brew before I started to write yesterday's blog post.

I listened to Sounds of the 60s while blogging, 

Once Sleeping Beauty rose from the warm pit.

I finished and published yesterday's blog post.

Now for warm hug, brew and breakfast.

Gets dressed.

Now to drop off son at work...

&

the other son to help out at the uniform bank. 

Now to town we go...

Parks in Car Park 4.

Cheeky Costa...

I then to go off to have my eyes tested....

I don't need new glasses \0/

That saved £150+

I buy a new dress to wear on holiday.

Found something to help with my worries...

Now to pick up son from work.

We were enjoying coffee and cake...

When suddenly a flock of loud mouthed crows entered the room....

One said to me as she walked into the room and called me: "Mr Tumble!".

Considering I was just sat there wearing a black flowing maxi dress with my red multi-coloured hat....

I don't look nothing like Mr Tumble

(as far I know!)

More like Humpty Dumpty!

They were being nasty to my son who served their drinks....

So reminds me of those horrible Stepford Wives I had to deal with at my kids's First School...

I just had to leave the room as my eye rolls was getting louder by the minute.

I said goodbye to Joe and Tracy and off home we went....

Gets home to find the shop had given me the wrong size dress!!!

It wasn't the same size that was on the clothes hanger..

Great, will have to change it when I get back!

Hubby went to pick up the other son from the uniform bank.

They nipped into Lidl to get tea for tonight.

I meanwhile had to pack my bags for the upcoming holiday...

Tea is served.

Quick look in the newspaper.

Then after tea,

A quick look in the newspaper.

Bobbie Lee Gentry (born Roberta Lee Streeter) is a retired American singer-songwriter who was one of the first female artists to compose and produce her own material.

Gentry rose to international fame in 1967 with her Southern Gothic narrative "Ode to Billie Joe". The track spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was third in the Billboard year-end chart of 1967, earning Gentry Grammy awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1968.

Gentry charted 11 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and four singles on the United Kingdom Top 40. Her album Fancy brought her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. After her first albums, she had a successful run of variety shows on the Las Vegas Strip. In the late 1970s Gentry lost interest in performing, and subsequently retired from the music industry. News reports conflict on the subject of where she currently lives. 

She is 79 years old 🎈

We caught up with news and newspaper review with some sleep tea!

Is tomorrow's Hump Day going to be warm or wet one? 🐫

I have a quick read of today's newspaper.

Jewel Franklin Guy  known professionally as James Best, was an American television, film, stage, and voice actor, as well as a writer, director, acting coach, artist, college professor, and musician. During a career that spanned more than 60 years, he performed not only in feature films but also in scores of television series, as well as appearing on various country music programs and talk shows. Television audiences, however, perhaps most closely associate Best with his role as the bumbling Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane in the action-comedy series The Dukes of Hazzard, which originally aired on CBS between 1979 and 1985. He reprised the role in 1997 and 2000 for the made-for-television movies The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion! and The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood (2000). 

He would have been 95 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 88 in 2015.

Off to a nice warm bed....
