Me A Hoarder?

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception - Groucho Marx
 
Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Heardle Time:
Heardle 60s
My answers:
Brew and Breakfast time.
Dressed.
Now to get back to work!
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.
I go and get the newspaper.
On goes my Summer coat.
I put on my lights.
Now let's get on with four day week!
Here we go again...
Limbo drivers
(Driving under my big stick!)
 Emergency stops
(Free last minute braking!)
Plus lots of BOINGs given out as well!
I was glad to finish in one piece!
Hubby texted me to say the Plumber had arrived to take out the old boiler.
When I got home, the Plumber had parked so much over to my side, I couldn't get on the drive!
The Plumber's "friend" was coming to collect the old boiler. I moved it over a bit, as it was blocking access to the garden!
The new boiler↑↑
The Plumber had turned off the water.
So no use of the toilet for me.
Time to pay a visit to Morrisons!
When I parked up.
I saw and got yakking to a great ex-postie and his wife for a good half an hour.
Then off to the toilet I went.
One man liked my hat of many colours!
I grabbed a trolley afterwards and went shopping.
My younger son's favourite year for music↓
I claimed my free coffee from Starbucks↓
Back home, to find the Scaffording Lorry over the drive, just about had room to park in front of it!
Nice new Erection to the side of the house.
Unloads shopping.
Sits outside for some fresh air.
The Plumber asks: "If his mate had been for the boiler, as it wasn't where he had left it!"
I pointed to it.
Light lunch time!
The Erection looks huge!
Gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋
As I needed to visit the toilet at Morrisons before I do the afternoon shift.
Just about to walk into Morrisons, when I bumped into an ex postie and wife
(Different one from this morning)
Had a quick catch up.
Toilet time.
I got down early to work.
Parked Sexy Beast
Walked down to the local Charity Shop.
I got two bags of bargains!
Put the bags into Sexy Beast.
I put on my Summer Coat, turned on my lights, got a ice lolly, and went and collected my big stick.
My friends appeared for a good rabbit.
Once it was time for me to start.
I said goodbye to my friends.
Carrying on from this morning.
Someone stopped in the Keep Clear space.
One parent crossed the road, and said to the car driver sat in the Keep Clear space:
"Can't see the words on the road, must be something wrong with their eyesight!"
Few more Limbo drivers!
I told a parent on how I got two bags of bargains from the Charity Shop!
They responded:
"I would give the two bags back to the Charity Shops, as I am a minimalist!"
I responded to that:
"At least my house looks lived in!"
"A bit of a horder are we?"
They were round the corner before I had chance to respond to that crack.
I was glad to finish in one piece!
Gets back home.
The Plumber had left in a bad mood, as the old copper bits he had left in the garden had vanished!
Got all shirty!
Pity he take the rest of the plastic bits↓
Nice new boiler in.
The Electician is coming tomorrow to finish what needs doing.
We had a early tea.
Looked into today's newspaper:

Hoping it won't be a hot sweaty hump tomorrow🐫

Nice To Be Common!

There is nothing in the world more reassuring than an unhappy lottery winner - Tony Parsons
Welcome to my Hump of the Week  🐫
At least the sun is shining and the temperature is not as hot as it is going to get in the following 7 days...😰
Heardle Time...
Heardle 60s:
My son's Heardle answers⮇
Breakfast with brew time.
Dressed...
Now to leave the house.
Long blue summer dress time!
Gives hubby a sloppy wet one 😘
I go and get my newspaper.
On goes the summer coat.
&
Big Big Sunglasses.
Now to turn on my lights...
Lights turned on.
Now let's go to work....
Now for the fun part.
One emergency stop by a Skoda.
3 BOINGs on cars not stopping.
I spoke to one parent who I won't be crossing over in September as their child is going to another school.
I asked: "If they are looking forward to it?"
The response was:
The child has turned down to do Spanish (as the reason was,all the commoners go to Spain!) and French. The next languages they are doing on German and Latin!
(I must be a commoner as I took Spanish at school and loved it!)
Finished in one piece.
I drove down to the Co-op to get some more bits.
My trolley coin dropped from my hand and went under Sexy Beast
I had to get it later and got a basket instead.
When I returned to Sexy Beast, I reversed him, and had to get out and retrieve the trolley coin!
Off to Hughes to collect a parcel DPD dropped off.
 Nice cooker, pity it's too big!
Then back home.
 My next door neighbour has had a new boiler fitted!
Pity our boiler is now 16 years old and 
quote,"As long as we can get parts for it,
It doesn't need replacing!" I was told last time when I asked if I was having a new one!
Coffee machine went on.
I brought in some washing that had dried.
Will sort that out later.
Now for coffee!
Now to get the chicken and veg pies made for tonight.
Someone knocked the door asking if they could take the old boiler away, 
I did say to knock on next door's door to ask.
But as normal, they just took it!
Pies were done and put in the oven, ready for later.
Now for a early light lunch.
Now out for part two!
Puts on my summer coat,
Turns on my lights.
Sees the two local CSPOs.
They crossed the road, to avoid me asking if they have gone to see that woman driver in the green Land Rover who tried to run me over yet?
Gets a ice lolly,
Fetches big stick.
Now into the park I go...
I only had one friend come for a rabbit.
We walked over to where I was due to start.
I said "See you tomorrow!"
The red BMW did its normal thing, and put its toe down and sped off up the road.
Still had to hand out the BOINGs due to cars not stopping for my big stick!
Finished in one piece.
Back home.
Cold drink time.
Put the oven on...
Got yesterday's blog post wrote.
Gave hubby a sloppy wet one 😘
Pies are ready!
Yum!
Now to look into today's newspaper.

USA No.1 on this day in 1959:

Back in for Sleep Tea.
Let's hope it's going to be a tad cooler...
