A Very Cold Hump!

My toughest fight was with my first wife - Muhammad Ali

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

I had great night's sleep under that warm duvet cover!

Warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Thermal vest going back on .....

Dressed.

I had covered up Sexy Beast thinking there was going to be frost....

(I looked out of the window and it had just finishing raining!)

Uncovers Sexy Beast.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋before leaving.

At least the sun was out, but it was freezing!

On goes the winter coat, hat and gloves...

Turns on my lights.

Now let's do it....🍭

Most car drivers were stopping, I had the odd few that I had to give the BOING to with my stick.....

Most just look at me when they don't stop!

At least I finished in one piece.

I got the newspaper and my neighbour's magazine on the way home.

The coffee machine was put on.

I have so much to do in so little time to do it!

Emptied all the bins in the house.

(Ran out of swing bin liners, added it to the shopping list for hubby later)

Tumble Drier went on.

My fabric order finally arrived that had been sent out on October 14th, the first delivery firm lost it, and now has been sent out!

My large cutting matt also arrived with some Christmas fabric.

I noticed in this week's Advertiser, one  former Manager from Royal Mail has died.

I worked under him in the early 1990s.

I just got half of my blog wrote from yesterday.

I ran out of time as dinnertime arrived.

Lunchtime.

I finished off my third cup of coffee with my lunch.

Now for round 2.

On went the winter coat, gloves and winter hat.

I put my lights on.

One half of where I stand, there was sunshine, the other side had really black clouds!

I chatted with my 2 friends until I started my shift.

The clouds were getting blacker by the minute.

All the parents thought it was going to rain!

Lucky for me it kept off!

Some cars were just blately going under my stick,

Boing time!

I finished in one piece.

The dark clouds faded to grey ones.

Now back home..

I got the tea ready, and put it in the oven.

Time for a much needed brew!

Hubby came back just after I dished up the tea.

(He had to warm his up in the microwave)

We put on the number 2's from 1989....

One good song came on...

(I know it word for word!)

Quick look in the newspaper.

Anthony  Donegan MBE  known as Lonnie Donegan, was a British skiffle singer, songwriter and musician, referred to as the "King of Skiffle", who influenced 1960s British pop and rock musicians. Born in Scotland and raised in England, Donegan began his career in the British trad jazz revival but transitioned to skiffle in the mid 1950s, rising to prominence with a hit recording of the American folk song "Rock Island Line" which helped spur the broader UK skiffle movement.

Donegan had 31 UK top 30 hit singles, 24 being successive and three at number one. He was the first British male singer with two US top 10 hits. Donegan received an Ivor Novello lifetime achievement award in 1995 and, in 2000, he was made an MBE. 

He died on this day in 2002 aged 71.

We watched a couple of episodes of Kenny Everett...

Now To Turn Back Time!

Welcome to my Saturday \o/

I had a bit of a lie-in.

Swelling going down more on the knee.

A bit of early morning sing-a-long↓

Now for brew and hug↓

Breakfast.

Dressed.

While hubby drops off son at his boxing lesson.

I had some nice fabric come to make some skirts with:

 I give the kitchen a good clean, put the washing machine on, and load up the dishwasher and put it on.

Hubby is going to attempt to tidy up the dining room.

His trainers have gone.....rip after 3 years of use.

He is so lucky, mine go after 6 months.

Hubby fetched son after his boxing lesson.

I wrote my blog from yesterday.

Coffee time

I wrote out the shopping list for tonight's shopping.

Paul and Barry Ryan were  UK  pop singers.

In 1965 they signed a recording contract with Decca under the name of Paul & Barry Ryan. Within two years they had amassed 8 Top 50 singles in the UK. Their best sellers were "Don't Bring Me Your Heartaches", a number 13 hit in 1965, "I Love Her", a number 17 hit in 1966 and "Have Pity on the Boy", a number 18 hit the same year. However, the stress of public attention caused Paul to retreat into the background, while Barry went solo. Paul Ryan wrote Barry's 1968 hit "Eloise", the 1971 hit "Who Put the Lights Out?" for Dana and another of his songs, "I Will Drink the Wine", was a UK hit single for Frank Sinatra.

Paul sadly died in 1992 aged 44.

Barry is 72 years old today 🎈

Robert Thomas Velline , known professionally as Bobby Vee, was an American singer, songwriter and musician who was a teen idol in the early 1960s and also appeared in films. According to Billboard magazine, he had thirty-eight Hot 100 chart hits, ten of which reached the Top 20. He had six gold singles in his career. He died on this day in 2016 aged 73 years old.

Antoine "Fats" Domino Jr.  was an American pianist and singer-songwriter. One of the pioneers of rock and roll music, Domino sold more than 65 million records. Between 1955 and 1960, he had eleven Top 10 hits. His humility and shyness may be one reason his contribution to the genre has been overlooked.

During his career, Domino had 35 records in the U.S. Billboard Top 40, and five of his pre-1955 records sold more than a million copies, being certified gold.His musical style was based on traditional rhythm and blues, accompanied by saxophones, bass, piano, electric guitar, and drums.

He died on this day in 2017 aged 89. 

After a late lunch,

Hubby went food shopping with one of my sons to do the neighbour's food shopping.

Once they came back,

Put the shopping away,

We had tea.

I found more books on Sewing.

The Reader's Digest book on Sewing is really good!

Be soon whipping up new clothes!

(I hope!)

Now to carry on with series 6.

 With some sleep tea.

Going to have an extra hour in bed tonight \o/
