Living The High Life!

There are three things I've to do: opera, rodeo, and porno 

- Bea Arthur

Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈

Nice warm hug and 💋 to start the Friday.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Hubby has a day off work...

But he won't be living the high life with me,

He is cleaning his dad's kitchen,bathroom and living room.

He goes and gets the newspaper....

I put on the kettle...

First coffee of the day.

Then hubby goes off to collect some cleaning things from Dunelm then onto his dad's house.

I meanwhile got down to write yesterday's blog post.

My younger son's new matress arrived for his bed↓↓

They drag the old mattress outside in the back garden.

I will have to pay the Council £18 to take it away next week....

The sun might be out, 

but it ain't half cold in this house!

I had to drop off son at his job.

(For doing all this running about, he was paying for the coffee!) 

Out comes the big ones..

Gets 1 mocha, and 2 hot chocolates.

I drop off son and comes back home.

Only for the lid of my mocha to come off, 

The mocha leaks into the bag,

I just get the bag out of the car before it pours out everywhere out of the car!

Just enough to drink...↓

Once I tied the pom poms I made yesterday to my pom pom wreath.

 I got down to make some more.

I now have another job interview tomorrow \o/

Tea at 3.

I had to drop off younger son to help with delivering leaflets..

Big big sunglasses went on again..

It didn't help a BMW nearly took out my driver's side after trying to pull out of a side road.

Didn't I half give him a look for that!

Trying to find somewhere to park to drop my son off safely was another ball ache!

Waited, and waited for a parking space...

Finally got one!

Back home...

Hubby has spent 8 hours cleaning his dad's house.....

(It took me 6 hours to clean my dad's house when he was alive, and all I got off my dad was:

"You haven't hoovered the stairs!"

Which I replied to:"What did your last slave die of? Oh yes, she is six foot under!")

Hubby was getting takeaway Indian meals for us on the way home...

While I was waiting,

I looked in today's newspaper:

Sir Peter  Ustinov was an English actor, writer, and filmmaker. He was a fixture on television talk shows and lecture circuits for much of his career. An intellectual and diplomat, he held various academic posts and served as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and president of the World Federalist Movement.

Ustinov was the winner of numerous awards during his life, including two Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor, Emmy Awards, Golden Globes, and BAFTA Awards for acting, and a Grammy Award for best recording for children, as well as the recipient of governmental honours from, amongst others, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He also displayed a unique cultural versatility which frequently earned him the accolade of a Renaissance man. Miklós Rózsa, composer of the music for Quo Vadis and of numerous concert works, dedicated his "String Quartet No. 1, Op. 22" (1950) to Ustinov

He would have been a 100 years old today🎈

He sadly died aged 82 in 2004 

 

 

Bobby Vinton  is an American singer, songwriter, and actor. As a teen idol, he became known as 'The Polish Prince', as his music paid tribute to his Polish heritage. One of his most popular songs is "Blue Velvet" (a cover of the 1951 song recorded by Tony Bennett) which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963 and No. 2 in the UK in 1990.

He is 86 years old. 

Mary  O'Brien OBE, professionally known as Dusty Springfield, was a British singer and record producer whose career extended from the late 1950s to the 1990s. With her distinctive mezzo-soprano sound, she was a significant singer of blue-eyed soul, pop and dramatic ballads, with French chanson, country and jazz also in her repertoire. During her 1960s peak she ranked among the most successful British female performers on both sides of the Atlantic and her image – marked by a peroxide blonde bouffant/beehive hairstyle, heavy makeup (thick black eyeliner and eye shadow) and evening gowns, as well as stylised, gestural performances – made her an icon of the Swinging Sixties. She is a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the UK Music Hall of Fame. International polls have cited Springfield as one of the finest female popular singers of all time.

She would have been 82 years old 🎈

She sadly died aged 59 in 1999. 

Gerald Rafferty  was a Scottish rock singer-songwriter. His solo hits in the late 1970s included "Baker Street", "Right Down the Line" and "Night Owl", as well as "Stuck in the Middle with You", which was recorded with the band Stealers Wheel in 1973. 

He would have been 74 years old 🎈 

He died in 2011 aged 63

Hubby comes back with the takeaway.

We catch up with Dragon's Den.

Another new job???? 

Joining The Convoy!

The longer the title, the less important the job - George McGovern

Welcome to my interesting Thursday 👅

Mmmm nice hug with brew to start the day!

Breakfast.

Dressed.

I gave hubby a wet sloppy 💋 before he went to work.

I hung out my lollipop coat to soak up the sun's rays some more!

Now to go for a little ride is Sexy Beast.

The sun was nice and bright.

Big big sunglasses has to come out again!

I said hello to everyone in the shop while getting the newspaper.

I told the woman I was going to have a job interview later on.

"You have told me already!" Came the reply.

I left rather quick after that!

Hopefully everything will be signed for my late dad's house soon.

My dad's drive has still got two cars parked on it.

Gets back home.

Quick coffee..

I got the yesterday's blog wrote.

Early lunch.

Then to ready for the job interview.

My lucky red hat!

(Can't wait for a haircut!)

Off I go for it...

I was sticking to the 50.m.p.h of the road.

The van and car drivers were not happy.

(They couldn't overtake as the lines were against them.)

I had a nice convoy building up behind me.

Finding somewhere to park was another story.

There was actually a small space outside the building of the interview.

Gets into space, now to back and forward to tidy the car up, there was a bollard behind me, so I had to be careful not to smack the back of my car!

On goes the facemask!

I was shown around where I what I was going to do. The interview was supposed to last 20 minutes. Once I got talking, it last over an hour and 20 minutes.

He asked me if I wanted more hours besides this job.

I said yes.

Then he was talking about the job I had discovered earlier this month.

I know of that job I said.

 His advert↓↓↓

He didn't realise the mistake of £10 per year until I told him.

I was offered the job I went for.

I might be get chance of the other job as well.

Woo hoo!

I start next week :)

Now back home.

No convoy on the way back home.

I filled out form they sent me and sent it back.

(It saves printing it out and bringing it  in with me next week)

They don't have any tabards in my size.

I have four different coloured tabards from previous jobs and not one in their colour.

So I had to order some!  

Belated Tea at 3

I had to drop off the kids help Joe deliver some leaflets. It was a right pig to park somewhere to drop them off. Cars right up by arse didn't help.

I threw off my bobble hat in temper...it was going that bad!

Having too much hair doesn't help either!

I might have to get hubby to get the hair trimmers out....

Finally gets home!

Hubby comes back from work.

Nice big sloppy 💋 off me.

Nice steak and chips tea to celebrate getting the job :)

Judge Rinder time.
