My new gas cooker was being delivered between 9am -11am.

Now to drop off son at work.

Dropped off son.

Then to get some petrol for Sexy Beast.

Every pump was being used when I got to the Petrol Station. There was a panic buying of petrol last night in Redditch!

The cashier couldn't believe how many people he served last night for petrol. I just shook my head and paid for my small amount of petrol! 

I gets home. 

 Coffee Time

The Gas Engineer we normally use to install our cookers was free at 1pm to uninstall and install the new cooker.

I had a blog post to write....

The new gas cooker arrived in the time it was due.

3 years ago, I had my old cooker fitted in.

We had a early lunch.

The Gas Engineer came.

We had a catch up since last time we met.

He caught Covid from going to Cheltenham Races in March 2020.

He was that bad for 4 months, and lost 4 stone in weight. His brother also caught Covid and has scaring of the lungs.

Then he showed me how much his gas and electric bill is going up next month....

He uninstalled the old oven and installed the news one.

We paid him and thanked him for coming.

Now I have to go my Tarot/Crystal Course.

Really good time was had by all.

The group sung "Happy Birthday " to me.

We practiced Chakra Healing again.

I bought some more nice incense.

Got a lift back home.

Finished off blog post,

While hubby christened the new oven.

Tea time.

We watched another episode of "Fame" season 2.

I recognised a young actor who appeared in Godfather 2 and City Slickers.

Bruno Kirby.

We packed the overnight bags.

Left the house...

We got to the nice hotel.

Reception area.

The Receptionist was so friendly.

She asked,"Where we had been for Tea?"

"Home," I replied.

We signed for the key.
