Using The Writing Hand For.....

It works better if you plug it in - Sattinger's Law.

Welcome to my Sunday 💓

We enjoyed lots of hugs and kisses.

Had a break to have brew with breakfast.

Then we carried on...💞

Then it was time to get up...

Thermal vest went on....

Now to leave the house for some fresh air...

As we neared the near-by Morrisons.

The Police were stopping people going in and coming out, and stopped people further up the road from going around the island.

We carried onto Co-op.

We got some reduced bits and the newspaper.

Headed for to Sainsburys Petrol Station to fill up hubby's car.

Then off to see my mum and dad.

Gave them some flowers and tided up their grave.

The wind was getting up and it was starting to rain.

I will visit again next week.

Back home.

The coffee machine goes on.

Nice homemade soup..

With

Coffee!

I found out what was happening at Morrisons.

A 90 year in his car went under a Petrol Tanker that was leaving the Petrol Station. He had to be cut out of his car.

If we had only got their 20 minutes earlier...

Sometimes it pays to be late going out!

Washing machine went on.

Dish washer unloaded and loaded up.

While I started to write 2 blog posts.

Hubby got out the Abs trainer.

I said,"You are not even trying, you are still wearing your jumper!"

I put the dinner in the oven ready for later.

He did his good half an hour workout.

Nice and red in the face.

He went for a shower.

Time to dish up the tea when he got out of the shower.

Yum!

Finished writing the blogs.

Now to look into today's newspaper.

In Need Of A Good Blast!

I'm a wonderful housekeeper. Every time I get a divorce, I keep the house - Zsa Zsa Gabor

Welcome to my Sunday fun 💋

I was up at 5.30 as I was far too hot.

I gave the garden a quick water before it got too hot too do so!

I published 9 blog posts.

Sleeping Beauty woke up and we had a nice breakfast downstairs while it was still cool!

Dressed.

Now out to sort out Sexy Beast...

Checks the tyres...

Fills up for the week with fuel.

On the way to town, one car couldn't wait to go into the car park of the lake, and drove straight in front of me....

He had a good blast of the horn off me...

Nearly causing an accident....!

Now off to town...

Car park 7 was still closed.

Parked in Car Park 4 instead.

Hubby got some new clothes from Primark.

I got some clothes in the sale in New Look.

It was getting well warm in the Shopping Centre.

Time for a quick visit to Mum and Dad.

(And to water the plants on their grave)

Back home.

Light lunch.

Then off to Costa Coffee in Henley to get some more nibbles.

Back home.

See what nibbles we got...

Enjoyed the sunshine in the garden...

(Under the parasol)

I got more food from Waitrose on the food app.

Now to go and get it...

The staff were talking about the Magic bag I had to come and collect.

I told them I was here for the Magic bag.

It wasn't ready, so I went off into WH Smith to have a look in there.

Five minutes later the magic bag arrived with some reduced flowers!

Back home.

Now for tea...

We caught up on the last episode of

"Dragon's Den"
