The Vultures Are Circling...

Welcome to my Hump of the Week🐪

A nice tea in bed with a warm hug↓

I gave hubby a nice wet 💋 before he left the house.

I have things to do this morning...

Out in the fresh air..↓

 It's getting warmer↓

  New sunglasses on↓

I got the newspaper,

Filled up Sexy Beast .

Next stop another visit to the Man's Cave↓

  I said to the Sale's Assistant who served me:

"I went to school with  your mum!".

(she blushed,and went to get my order)

When she came back, 

I said,"I stalk your mum on FB."

She said,"My mum is on holiday."

I replied, "A nice break away from this town does wonders for the soul!" 

My nice items↓

 

 Quick look at the newspaper before I get out of Sexy Beast. 

 The temperature is going up↗↗

I sorted out the back garden.

All the cabbages had been ate by caterpillers...

The remaining cabbages were put in the composter.

The washing machine went on 3 times.

Making full use of the sunshine.

All the washing went on the line.

Just keeping a eye on the weather.

I picked some blackberries out in the front garden, and picked the rhubarb that was growing in the back garden.

 Hopefully I will have a second batch of rhubarb later↓

 Early lunch↓

 I had some nice post↓

 

 After I came back from work,

The Rhubarb,Blackberry, Lemon & Ginger pie was put in the oven.

After our main meal,

It wa ready to eat↓

 After I watched Law and Order,

Off to work I go with some great music↓

I had a phone call from my younger brother.

Moaning on the keepsafe being broken by my Dad's carers for the second time. He wanted me and the prodical brother to pay towards another one!

I laughed.

My response was:

"He, and the prodical brother earn loads more money than me, when I earn the same as them , then I will put money in the pot."

He didn't like that reply.

Further on with the conversation,

"My younger brother is having my dad's Rover SD1 car that is in the garage, while prodical brother had now been given my dad's BMW!!!"

Feels like the vultures are circling... 

I was glad to get home!

Prodical brother was stopping over at my dads for the night, so we didn't need to go over!

After I had my sleep tea...

It was nice to enjoy Hump Day!

 

 

Time For The Bird To Come Out!

Welcome to the First of December.

Still freezing cold and frosty.

 Loads of layers on 

(including the thermal knickers)

 One cheeky parent parked on the zig zags lines.

He ended up being boxed in, 

And being stopped 

(by Me)

As I had some children to cross over 

(when he decided to move off)

One tank driver had to stop his car and scrape the rest of his windscreen as his windscreen had frozen again.

 It was time for the little bird to come back out again...

Homemade Chicken & Veg Pie!

 

Rolling Pin Time....

Had the normal fun of a Thursday.

More Adventures from Job 1

Lollipop stick up in the air to stop the traffic.

One woman driving a red Skoda drove under my stick and then she stopped at the traffic lights just further up the road, when they were on red!

I needed to bake...

Used up the spicy sausages, bacon bits, vegetables and some puff pastry that was reduced at Asda...

Time to bake the Pie

Pie was ready....

 

Using My Warm Hands....

Woo hoo my last day of working today!

I had some more presents off parents from Job 1.

Nice message in one of the cards:

  I have made a Steak & Mushroom pie for tonight's tea.

Getting back on the writing front for the next Sleepily Village Mysteries 6.

I finally received my Lego Santa for my Xmas Cake!!

My Xmas cake is called "Tale of Two Santa's" when I finish it ;P

Now to start playing with some fondant icing with my very WARM hands!

 

Now Bake!

I have been resting, as I still feel weak.

So I caught up on Great British Bake Off series one.

Watching other people baking, got in the baking mood.

So after having a Lemsip.

I reached for the rolling pin, plain flour, etc.

I made a Chicken, Mushroom, & Vegetable Pie

Watch out, Bake Off here I come!

Not Long To Go....

A week to go before my birthday...

Packed it with lots of spinach,garlic,ginger, and vegetables.

Four empty plates. I must be doing something right!
