Too Much Finger!

 Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognise it as such - Henry Miller

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Nice warm hug to start the hump with.

Brew with Breakfast.

Thermal vest goes on.

As well as layers!

No Frost last night,

So no uncovering of Sexy Beast. 

I gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋before I left.

I still had 2 winter hats and the big big gloves on.

Walked up and waited to turn on my lights.

I turned them on,

Now ready to roll 🍭

First Limbo Dancer of the the morning was only going 10 m.p.h but went right under my stick!

The Silver BMW was next, he wagged his finger at me as he went under my stick.

The third Limbo dancer, the car driver attempted to stop, decided no too, and carried on under the stick!

Cars were braking the last minute!

In the final 15 minutes of my shift, I was waiting to cross anyone over, when a red Toyota with 2  men aged 20+ sat in there.

The driver flicked me his third finger at me when he drove past!

"What have I done to deserve this?"

Lucky for him, I remembered his license plate number!

After I finished in one piece.

I picked up the newspaper and my neighbour's magazine.

Got home.

I put on the coffee machine.

I phoned up my new boss to report and give her the license plate number. She will pass it onto the Police.

She had 2 reports of angry car drivers getting out of their car verbal abusing the Lollipop men/woman!

On the phone for 45 minutes.

I asked my kids would they get out of their cars and have a word at me....while doing my lollipop job.

"No way" came their reply

I phoned hubby up to tell him what happened earlier.

5 minutes on the phone.

Phoned my friend to tell he what happened.

45 minutes on the phone.

Coffee time.

I ran out of time to write my blog post from yesterday.

Now to enjoy some soup!

Mmmmm

The sun is back out....

Time to wear the big big sunglasses..

Time for part two.

Still had two winter hats and gloves on.

Turned on my lights.

Had a little rabbit with my friends.

I said Goodbye to them when I started.

Low lying sun was a bit of a problem.

I told a few parents about the finger problem from this morning.

They couldn't believe it!

Still had a couple of car failing to stop,

BOING!

Just as I finished, my friend appeared again with his dog.

Walks back to the car for more RABBIT.

Once finishing yakking, time for me to go home.

I covered up Sexy Beast, as there is another frost due tonight.

Then time to peel some potatoes and get the tea on the go.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 when he came home.

They had sausages,mash,and peas.

I had the veggie option.

Yum!

Quick look into the newspaper.

At least I shop at Waitrose sometimes!

He manages 110.

Once he cools down, he goes for a shower.

I keep a eye on tea in the oven.

Publishes all 3 blog posts.

Now to dish up the tea!

We all catch up on Friday's episode of

"Have I Got News For You"

Now to carry on with the series=

  Live and Death Row.

Series 1: 2 of 3 Judgement 

This film follows the trial of 26-year-old Guy Heinze Jr, with remarkable access to the jury members charged with reaching a verdict on allegations that Heinze beat his father and seven members of his family to death. As the trial progresses, there is legal manoeuvring while evidence about the brutal killings unfolds.

Series 1: 3 of 3 Crisis Stage. 

The final film of the series follows 25-year-old legal student Kelly Hickman as she attempts to save two of the young killers facing execution in America.

Kelly volunteers at the University of Houston Death Penalty Clinic, a team of Texan students who help mount last-ditch legal appeals for killers on death row.

The team are working on two 'crisis cases' - cases where all of the offenders' normal legal appeals have failed and they are now just weeks away from execution.

Robert Pruett was sentenced to death for murdering a prison guard at the age of 20. He was already one of the youngest killers in the American prison system, having been sentenced to 99 years for his involvement in another murder at the age of 16.

Robert Garza was a member of the notorious Tri-City Bombers street gang and was sentenced to death at the age of 20 for his part in the drive-by killing of four young women.

As execution day dawns, Kelly feels frustratingly shut out of the legal process, confined to her office and following events over the internet and the phone as news filters through of an eleventh-hour intervention by the Supreme Court 

Series 2: 1 of 4 = Execution 

Series telling the story of capital punishment through the eyes of young people whose lives have been shaped by it.

On March 11 2009, Daniel Lopez was pulled over for driving erratically. The dramatic car chase that ensued killed a police officer and 27-year-old Daniel was given the death penalty. Unusually for a death row prisoner, he is resisting all appeals to block his execution - which is due in five weeks time. The state-appointed attorneys for Lopez are arguing that their client is using the justice system as a form of suicide. His family are also pleading with him to fight the execution and stay alive for them. With access to Daniel, his lawyers, his parents and the widow of the police officer that Daniel killed, this film follows the lead up to 'execution day'. Will Daniel go to his death, as he insists he wants to do, or will the people who love him be able to save him?

Series 2: 2 of 4 = Punishment.

Series telling the story of capital punishment through the eyes of young people whose lives have been shaped by it. With unprecedented access inside prison walls, it discovers what it's like to live with the threat of the death chamber, as well as hearing from victims and their families, and the family of those on death row - some praying for execution, some hoping for a reprieve. Each episode focuses on different aspects of the system - execution, punishment and the complex nature of 'truth'.

In April 2013, 18-year-old Shawn Ford Jr was charged with killing his girlfriend's parents with a sledgehammer. Now he is on trial for his life and a jury of 12 ordinary people must decide whether he should live or die. This film follows the court case from the inside, as both the family of the victims and the defendant struggle to come to terms with such a horrific crime. But it is the jurors who must ultimately decide Shawn's fate. As the details of the shocking murders mount, can an impassioned plea for mercy from Shawn's mother save her son's life?
