Welcome to my Saturday ⌛

I didn't get up early today like any other Saturday, when I wake up at 6am!

I will catch up with Sounds of the 60s during the week on catch up.

Nice to have a warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Hubby is having his flu jab this morning.

Now to leave the house

Making the most of the nice weather!

The scandals come out!

First we drop off son at his work place.

Then onto town we go.

We parks in Car Park 4, as 

Car Park 7 has been knocked down!

Onto Boots for hubby's flu jab.

Once that was done, we bought the newspaper and a coffee to go.

Back home to start back on emptying the loft.

We had lunch halfway through sorting through boxes. There is a nice big pile to go to the tip tomorrow morning.

Hubby done one trip to the Storage unit with son.

When he got back, we had tea.

Then it's on the search for hubby to get some Diesel for his car.

We managed to get some from Morrisons.Then the queues started to form.

I got my first Magic Bags of the evening from Morrisons in Astwood Bank.

The staff in the Petrol Station had not experienced the demand for petrol before.

They had run out of diesel and running low on unleaded.

Told them to write a funny message and leave it out for the car drivers when they run out of unleaded!

Then onto M&S which is also a Petrol Station.

They had run out of fuel except food.

I got my Magic Bag.

Moved onto Waitrose on the motorway services.

Not a lot of queues at that petrol station.

Got my Magic Bag.

Now back home to unpack them all!

Then we watched...

Then I looked into today's newspaper.

Wrote out today's shopping list.

Light lunch.

One episode of Hell's Kitchen Season 10.

Now to clean out the pantry.....

All the shelves had to be sprayed.

As well as the crates....

In the corner, we had a rat chew through the ceiling of the pantry....

So we blocked it.

The red plastic wrap that covers the shelves is a godsend.Easy to clean.

Once all cleaned.

Crates go back in...

Hubby was ready to go and get the shopping in with younger son.

I meanwhile, had yesterday's blog to write and get the evening meal done.

I cooked the chopped beef in Bitter in the pan before putting it in the pie.

Once pie was made, in the oven it went!

Hubby meanwhile sent me a picture of the toilet rolls in Lidl again!

At least they have got my favourite toilet rolls still in!

Shea Butter!

Once hubby comes back, with the shopping, and younger son takes neighbour's shopping around to him...

Time for pie!

Beef and Mushroom Pie.

More episodes of Hell's Kitchen to watch!

With some Sleep tea.

We had a sort of early night.....;)

 Welcome to my Saturday 🍿

On this day in 2017,

I had an accident, 

Which involved an ambulance ride to my local hospital...

My Achilles tendon had come off the bone.

Plus the corner bone of my foot had gone 6 inches into my foot.

  (I had a phone call from by then Lollipop Supervisor the very next day, am I coming back to work?)

I was in hospital for 2 weeks.

I had my tendon reattached and bone glued back on!

8 months off work, I had to learn to walk and drive again!

Had brew with hug.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Washing machine went on, followed by the tumble drier being put on.

Now for coffee....

Hubby went out with one of our sons to drop off a box of Cds that belonged to my late dad to the Droitwich Lions.

I got out the sewing machine to finish off my face masks...

I got the final four facemasks finished...

Hubby comes back with son.

I had Kenny the Kenwood out for a quick play..

Banged the cake in the oven.
