Getting Hot Under The Collar!

Distant relatives are the best kind and further away the better - Kim Hubbard
June 
3 Birthdays and Father's Day packed into this month!
1:Birthday Fun!
2:More Cards I Made
3:Funeral
I paid my respects to one of my cleaning bosses, that passed away last month, just short of his 70th Birthday.The funeral was packed.There was no room to sit in on the service, so I sat outside and listened to the service being put on speakers.
I was wearing a black with white daisy dress and a black hat.
One former employee took issue with me wearing it for some reason, kept starring up and down at me, twice!
It didn't help what she decided to wear, that half chewed cardigan at the back...
.I remembered a picture of two famous movie stars from years ago...
Let's raise the white flag!
4: Redditch Pride
5:Showing Off My Dog!
6: Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to my lovely dad.
7:Minions
Got more minions and saw the Minion's movie. 
8: Fixing the net curtain
Since we had new windows fitted, the new net curtains is refusing to stop up! 
That barb wire looks like we live in a prison camp!
9:Hot weather
Plenty of factor 50 sun cream, and sitting in the shade when I can!
July is going to be action-packed month!

I let them cool down.

Painting The Cake Red!

I am a doormat in a world of boots - Jean Rhys
I woke up earlier than I normally do during the week! I left Sleeping Beauty to have a lie-in. I had things to do!
I had the cup of tea....
Sorted out the cloths for work for the final time!
I wrote out my son's Birthday Card.
Hubby rose from his warm pit.
We had breakfast.
The Birthday Boy got up and opened his Birthday Cards. He had his breakfast.
Hubby dropped him off at work.
I got out Kenny and started to make his Birthday cake.
Once that was in the oven, I had some catching up with paperwork that had come during the week.
Hubby came back with a much needed coffee and bacon baguette.
We sat outside to eat it :)
Now to add some 17th Birthday Balloons to the bunting.
The cake was finished!
The Birthday Boy came home from work early.
He really liked the cake!
He brought back the hand I bought last week from Omega.
We had a special treat of ordering another Chinese Takeway.
I then had to carry on writing blog posts from last Sunday.....
I watched two episodes of "Dragon's Den" while doing so.
I will write the remaining two blog posts tomorrow...as brain was closing down on me.....
Sleep tea time!
Another Birthday to celebrate at the end of the month!
(Not forgetting Father's Day a week on Sunday!)
Now to enjoy the bed!
