Welcome to my Thursday 🎶

Nice big hug to start the day with.

Brew with Breakfast.

Hubby got ready for work.

He had a nice wet one before he left for work.

Then I got up,

(Thermal vest went on)

While kids got up.

I enjoyed a early coffee...

Once we were ready to go....

We left:

First stop, to get the newspaper.

Next stop was Sainsburys↓

A laundry basket I wanted last year,

has now been reduced!

£6.50 instead of £20 last year :)

The kids got my Birthday cards for Monday.

Front cover of Private Eye.

Dropped off son at work.

Back home.

The laundry basket was soon filled!

The dishwasher was on the load up.

The coffee machine was put on.

Now to do some tidying up around the place!

With added coffee!

Once that was done.

I started writing two blog posts.

My lunchtime was inbetween.

Back on to it.

Tea at 3 next. 

I just finished the last blog when hubby came home.

He was rewarded with a sloppy wet one!

Pan fried the pork chops.

Then chopped up various veg that needed to be ate up.

Then all put in the oven for 20 minutes.

Tea is served on a bed of basmati rice.

Yum!

Now to look into today's newspaper.

Alfredo Lettieri  was an American actor. Active during the 1960s and 70s until his death, he commonly portrayed villainous characters. He achieved recognition for his performance as mobster Virgil Sollozzo in the crime film The Godfather (1972) and appeared in several other productions alongside Hollywood's biggest screen stars.

He would have been 94 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 47 in 1975. 

Paul Jones (born Paul Pond, ) is an English singer, actor, harmonicist, radio personality and television presenter. He first came to prominence as the lead singer and harmonicist of the successful 1960s group Manfred Mann, with whom he had several Top Ten hit records from 1962 to 1966. He presented The Blues Show on BBC Radio 2 for thirty-two years, from 1986 to 2018.

He is 80 years old 🎈 

David Goldstein , better known as Rupert Holmes, is a British-American composer, singer-songwriter, musician, dramatist and author. He is widely known for the hit singles "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" (1979) and "Him" (1980). He is also known for his musicals The Mystery of Edwin Drood, which earned him two Tony Awards, and Curtains, and for his television series Remember WENN. 

He is 75 years old 🎈 

Johnnie Ray  was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist. Highly popular for most of the 1950s, Ray has been cited by critics as a major precursor to what became rock and roll, for his jazz and blues-influenced music, and his animated stage personality. Tony Bennett called Ray the "father of rock and roll", and historians have noted him as a pioneering figure in the development of the genre.

He died on this day in 1990 aged 63.

Trying To Take Me Out!

 There goes the good time that was had by all - Bette Davis

Welcome to my Sunday 💓

Nice big hug to start Sunday off.

Breakfast with brew.

Dressed.

We are sorting out the Dining room today.

I thought we will sort out Sexy Beast out first...

Goes to Morrisons to check the tyre pressures.

Goes to the first tyre pump unit when this silver car comes driving towards to me at speed and not stopping...

(Sexy Beast is worth more than hers)

I reverse back to the tyre pressure unit behind me.

If looks could kill!

Once I had finished, I drove past her, not even looking.

Next stop was the petrol station.

What could happen there?

This Audi parked by where the newspapers were.

After filling up, I went to get a newspaper, turned round and put my foot out, the Audi was been beeped at to move out of the way from the car behind.The Audi moved forward and nearly took me out!

Paid for my newspaper and fuel and back home I went to be a lot safer!

Emptied the cupboard of cooking books.

Moved the cupboard and unit out of the Dining Room, moved the freezer next to the other freezer. Put the tumble drier back, and the unit.

Phoned up the Emergency Repairs at the Council over the leak yesterday in the kitchen.

It's not an emergency they said.

Can't use the sink or washing machine, isn't classed as a emergency.They will send someone tomorrow.....

Lunchtime!

Then out to get some more boxes....

Got some bits from Sainsburys.

There was confusion over a price of Laundry bag.

The price underneath said £3.

I gets to the till, it says £12.

They sent someone to have a look, yes it was £12, and the price was actually £30 for the laundry bag underneath I picked up!

I didn't have it in the end.

Goes into Argos and picks up my boxes.

Came back home and checked on the Argos website.

The same laundry bag is £3.60!

Loads of boxes to keep us busy to fill up!

Put up some things in the loft.

Now to refill the cupboard with cooking books.

We sold one wooden unit for £5, the buyer came and collected it straight away :)

Time for some tea...

It was getting late and we were all tired after all the decluttering of the Dining Room.

At least you can get in there now!

I sorted out all my craft supplies now.

Material in Living room.

 Wool in Dining room.

Much needed Sleep Tea...

Back on the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow 🍭
