Changing From Black To....

 A zebra cannot change its spots - Dan Quayle
Welcome to my Sunday Love 💓
We had a bit of lie-in after that bingewatching last night.....
Still had a warm hug and brew.
Then breakfast.
I got up first, as I have lots to get on with...
Washing machine put back on.
Then some wet washing put on the line.
Then I got dressed.
Time for the coffee machine to give me some strong coffee!
While I caught with 2 blogs...
Hubby had to paint to the front of the house, with the paint that came yesterday!
Changing it from Black to Orange.
The paint ran out before he could put a second coat on....:(
Ordered some more for Wednesday.
The last time we painted the front of house was 2 days before my mum died in 2013.
Light lunch.
Then it's out for a little ride in Sexy Beast.
Check the tyres.
Fill up.
Then off to see mum and dad.
Then the rain starts....
We watched two episodes of:
Then my turn to do some singing along...
First with Cher...
Then Roxy Music
Then Erasure.
Tea is served...
Then out of the house to fetch 2 lucky bags..
First bag was from Morrisons.
Then those dark clouds came over on the way to the little Waitrose.
It's a good job we left our rain coats in the boot.
As the rain came down.
Collected by box of goodies and back home in the dark and rain we went.
First up was the Waitrose goodies.
Morrisons.
The bread is going over to my Father-in-laws tomorrow night with my hubby.
Quick look in the newspaper.

Packing So Much In!

 The easiest way to find something you have lost is to buy a replacement - Rosenbaum's Law
Welcome to the Friday Feeling in Blackpool 🎈
Nice brew to start Friday with.
I draw the curtains back, to find it raining...
Dressed.
Downstairs for a good cooked breakfast.
Afterwards, it's time to get wet!
We missed one tram.
The next tram was full.
We cross the road and wait for the bus.
While we were waiting...
The tram comes....
5 mins our bus comes.
We go around the backstreets of Blackpool.
We get off to visit the rock shop.
Of course I have to get a fridge magnet!
Then onto a 60s cafe for a coffee!
Once we finished.
We went to catch the tram to Fleetwood. 
Gets to Fleetwood.
Now to look around some more shops...
Lunchtime.
Now to walk that off, by walking to the Fleetwood Ferry Tram Stop.

Back on the tram we go.
Back to the B&B for a brew.
Back out later on for fish and chips on the tram.
The kids tried to beat us by walking to the North Pier while we caught the tram.
We get to the tram stop first.
(Just about)
Onto the Heritage Tram.
While we were waiting to go.
We spotted a man wearing a rainbow jumper.
He was waiting for his date to arrive.
Not keeping still for a minute, lots of walking about, looking at his phone, talking on his phone.
We didn't have to wait too long.
The woman arrived in a very short dress, then they both disappeared around the corner.
Then the tram started to leave.
We were given trays and bottles of pop or water.
We travels down to Starr Gate.
Fish and Chips were given out.
We travel down to Bisham 
I bought some lovely things to go home with.
 
Once the trip came to a end. The kids again went off to beat us back to the B&B.
We waited for the tram at the North Pier.
This time the kids beat us back!
We just got back to watch:
