Bringing New Flowers!

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it

 - Terry Pratchett

Welcome to my Sunday 🌷🌹

We had a bit of lie-in.

Still had hugs and kisses

With brew and breakfast.

I put on the thermal vest.

&

Rain mac.

Out for a ride in Sexy Beast.

Pump up the tyres.

Fill up with fuel.

Then back home we go.

The coffee machine goes on.

So does the washing machine...

Once two loads of washing was done.

On goes the tumble drier.

The meantime I made the red velvet cake for tomorrow.

The oven was turned down low,

While we went out in the rain again.

Checked hubby's tyre pressures.

Filled up with fuel.

Then nipped into the Co-op for some milk.

Roses anyone?

As normal the red light kept going off.

It doesn't like reduced food!

Then off to give my mum and dad's grave a tidy up and put new flowers on.

Then back home to unpack the shopping.

Got the cake out to cool down.

In the meanwhile, finished off the soup.

Then I wrote 2 blog posts.

We had Gammon for tea.

Once finishing my blog posts.

I had to finish the cake as well.

Finally got to look into today's newspaper.

Now off to see my mum and dad.

The second anniversary of dad passing away is this Saturday  :'(

Now to give Sexy Beast a little run down to the Co-op.

I just walking over to the car park, who did coming out of the Co-op?

One of my friends I chat to in the afternoon during the week!

He was in a garden centre on Friday afternoon, that's why we didn't see him.

Good rabbit for 30 minutes.

Wished him a good Sunday afternoon.

Then in we went.

Didn't have the newspaper we wanted.

Got some reduced food.

(Forgot the Soy Sauce for tomorrow!)

The light kept turning red again....

Once finished, put the shopping in Sexy Beast, we nipped into Tesco Express to fetch today's newspaper.

Now back home with the shopping.

Coffee machine goes on.

Now to chop the veggies that are going in the Soup maker.

Washing machine goes back on,

As well as the Tumble drier.

Afterwards we sorted out the first load of washing that had been dried in the tumble drier.

Two more loads of washing goes into the Tumbler Drier.

I leaves hubby to get on with the tea for tonight.

(Oh dear won't be doing that again soon)

Writes yesterday's blog post.

Tea is ready...

(I told him before he started, to pan fry the chops before putting them into oven. He could have used up the stuffing but didn't.

The mash didn't turn out right and was uneatable. Good job we had cheesecake for afterwards!)

Hubby went for a shower soon after.

I finished writing my blog post. 

I looked inside of today's newspaper.

Welcome to my Sunday 💓

I woke up early, and needed a cup of brew.

I got on with writing my blog from yesterday.

Once finished, I woke up Sleeping Beauty up with a nice hot coffee.

We finished off the crumpets.

Now to get some layers on,

And go on a ride with Sexy Beast. 

First, to check the tyre pressures.

It didn't help a Black BMW parked over the first tyre pressurer machine, but was using the second one!

Next off to visit my mum and dad.

I removed the two wreaths.

Looks like no one else had been up except me!

Someone had drove in the wrong way, and was waiting for me to leave, so she could reverse all the way out!

Back home to put on the coffee machine.

Next job was to sort out boxes on top of the kitchen cupboards and inside the cupboards.

Coffee first.

Noah and the Whale came on the radio.

Again they blanked out some lyrics again.

 "She went down on almost anyone"

I have heard worst lyrics than that they allow to play!

Now to start on the kitchen!

I found two boxes of glasses I had from my dad's house last year.

They will come in useful, as I only have the minion glass :)

Lunchtime.

Put all my new diffusers in the same place.

Bag of paperwork to go through tomorrow.

Hubby and younger son put some things up in the loft.

Too late to start on the roast dinner.

Use up the Christmas themed pasta instead.

I added Spinach,garlic,chilli flakes, and mushrooms to the homemade Pasta Sauce.

There were four empty plates afterwards!

Dishwasher was loaded up afterwards.

Time to catch up with Top of the Pops from 1992.

Oh dear the fast forwarded button was used up to the number 1.

The second episode was a bit better.

At least they played the Genesis video in full!

Shakespear's Sister was on.

(Cut the song off half way)

Curtis Stigers was also cut of in mid song.

Hubby is rewatching the second episode on his own on Tuesday night, as I am not wasting my precious time watching some crap songs that was on!

We tried to watch something on Netflix, and one of the children was watchin instead.

We let it go this time,next time they are coming off it!
