Say It With Balloons!

Never judge a book by its movie - J.W Eagan
Welcome to my weekend πŸ‘…
I had my 8 hours sleep,
I got up and left Sleeping Beauty to snore.
Cup of tea.
Then to write yesterday's blog post.
While listening to Sounds of the 60s on Radio 2.
The top 3 Uk singles from 1965

Just published blog when Sleeping Beauty came downstairs.
More brew with breakfast.
Got the kids up.
Dressed.
Now out of the house.
Drops off son at work.
Now round to wish my mum a Happy Birthday 🎈
Now off to do some food shopping.
Lots of sewing threads in....
We got a wonky box :)
Back home to unload the shopping.
Coffee machine gets up on.
Once the shopping has been put away.
Coffee time!
&
To look at the lovely sewing things I bought.
Caught up with the One Hit Wonders from the 1970's we recorded from this week.
Son wanted a lift, so off I went to pick him up.
Nearly had my car took out on the Asda roundabout.
Son had left work and was walking home, I found out this when I got to his workplace.
Great!
At least I had my good CD with some big songs to listen to on the way home.
I had to reheat up my coffee!
Now for lunch!
Now to open the box...
Lots of blue language to try and thread the machine....
I had a quick play on.
Tried out the letters and numbers.
I am sewing another layer of material onto the Living Room curtains tomorrow. 
Tea time.
We watched two episodes of Hell's Kitchen.
Then we went out to collect 2 Magic Bags.
One red van was in the wrong lane on the Sainsburys Island and nearly took out my hubby's car!
Nice moon tonight.
Back home to unpack the magic bags.
Now to catch up with last night's
Have I Got New For You.
I looked into today's newspaper.
William Scott "Jack" Elam  was an American film and television actor best known for his numerous roles as villains in Western films, and later in his career, comedies (sometimes spoofing his villainous image). His most distinguishing physical quality was his misaligned eye. Before his career in acting, he took several jobs in finance and served two years in the United States Navy during World War II.
Elam performed in 73 movies and in at least 41 television series. Some of his more memorable roles are in Once Upon a Time in the West, High Noon, Support Your Local Sheriff!, and on the series The Twilight Zone and Gunsmoke.
He would have been 101 years old 🎈
"GoldenEye", 17th James Bond film, starring Pierce Brosnan for the first time and Judi Dench as M, released in 1995.
Sleep Tea Time.
Now off to a very warm bed!

You Know You Want It!

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it - J.P Morgan
 Welcome to my Sunday 🎊
No lie-in this morning...
Hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Collects the shopping trolley and tickets for the show, and off we go.
Parks in the car park near the hall we are going to visit.
Someone is already in the Christmas Mood...
Show both of my Covid Vaccine cards.
I was given a orange wristband.
Now off to the show...
We have another wristband for being VIP.
We go off to the VIP stand for a coffee and nibble.
They didn't have the blue milk which I have, as green milk doesn't do my stomach much good.
I had to choose between soya or green milk...
Wish I had bought my own milk now...
Now to look around the show.
£10 for half a metre.
I asked "If he was on-line?"
"Nope," He said.
I carried on looking, further up the aisle, was some lovely fabric. Bargain price.
I found a Janome sewing machine I was interested in.
There was already £100 off it on the internet.
They wouldn't knock anymore off because they were at the show.
I carried on round to the Brother Sewing Machine instead.
They had the sewing machine I was looking for.
Only £180 cheaper then the Janome.
 Plus a £150 Quilting Kit was thrown in as well.
The only problem was DPD was going to deliver it....
"I sure you won't have no problems with the delivery with DPD",The Salesman said.
"You will be the first one to find out if I do have problems with the delivery!" I laughed.
We looked around the  Simply Christmas event, and couldn't wait to leave.....
We went to look around the Cake International Event.
I did put a cake in back in 2013...
Shaun the Sheep and Friends in Halloween Costumes.
Now for more pictures of cake...
Back to get our final coffee with a bit of cake.
 Once eaten.
Playtime...
 We walked back to the car.
I was so glad of some fresh air!
Once we got back, I unpacked the trolley.
Now for some much needed lunch.
Out again to check the tyre pressures of Sexy Beast.
Once that was done, I covered up Sexy Beast.
The tumble drier went on, after the washing machine had been on twice.
Showers were taken by everyone.
Hubby put the tea in the oven.
Now two more episodes left of Narcos:Mexico series 3.
We finished the whole series by 10pm!
Sleep Tea time.
Back on that Wobbly Work Wheel🎑
