Soggy Glove Time Again!

      But enough about me, let's talk about you.What do you think of me? - Bette Midler 

Welcome to my Tuesday ☂

Nice big hug to start the day with!

Brew with breakfast.

Thermal vest goes on.

The weather forecast doesn't look good either for this morning.

On goes those sexy lumo trousers!

Uncovers Sexy Beast.

Just as I gave hubby a sloppy wet one,

Then it started to rain!

The Hall car park wasn't open,

So I parked around the corner.

On goes the boots, two winter hats, and waterproof gloves.

It was raining a bit more heavily...

I turned on my lights.

Now to have some fun..🍭

Lots of rain, and wind.

I had a few drivers doing the Limbo dance under my stick!

One car driver had to brake hard on the otherside!

I was glad to finish in one piece!

I got back to Sexy Beast. 

Both winter hats were wet, gloves were soggy, and the top of my socks were damp!

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

Coffee machine went on.

Now to tidy up the Living Room after last night!

My hat and gloves were put on the radiator to dry out later on.

Living room all tidied up, all the Valentine's stuff was put away now until next year.

I had another letter from a Prison Pen Pal in the USA.

Three letters I will be writing in the next few days.

Much needed coffee is needed!

Now to finish off the bit of soup.

Chicken and Mushroom soup.

Now for Round 2.

I got a spare winter hat, and the lightweight gloves.

On to put on my lights.

The wind was getting up....

A group of teenagers went past me, while I was waiting for my friends to arrive.

One said:

"Can I have a lick of your lollipop stick?"

"The taste is disgusting,"I replied.

I had a rabbit with my two friends.

I said goodbye to my friends.

The low lying sun came out.

It was just that the wind was getting up!

My lollipop stick was trying to dance all by itself.

One car done the Limbo dance under my stick.

I was glad to be finished in one piece!

Hometime.

Now to write 2 blog posts.

I finished one.

Then to put the tea on.

Gave hubby a sloppy wet one when he came home.

Tea is served.

Meat Free Stir Fry.
 Then I carried writing yesterday's blog post.

That done.

Now to look in today's newspaper.

Doing The Limbo Dance!

A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money - W.C Fields

Welcome aboard to my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Nice hug to start Monday with!

Brew with Breakfast.

Thermal vest goes on.

Dressed in a Christmas themed dress.

Gives hubby a slowly wet 💋

Boosters were being giving out in the hall.

I parked around the corner.

Swaps my Santa hat for 2 winter hats with a pair of gloves. I was umming about whether to put on my boots, as the rain was forecasted to come in at 10am.

I didn't bother with the boots.

I put on my lights.

Now let's go to work....

Half way through my shift, the rain came to visit!

A blue 20 plate Skoda went past me,

Was it the same one that mounted the kerb and drove around me a few months ago????

Still some parents are choosing to cross over the road further up from me instead of crossing with me. Once they drop the child at school, they cross with me!

It was still raining when I finished.

I changed coats and walked down the road to the Post Office.

There were two on the tills in the Post Office.

While I was waiting with steamed up glasses, the middle cashier said to the customer she was serving:

"I lost my dad four weeks ago and still suffering."

The customer said,"Sorry to hear about it."

Then it was my turn to be served.

She asked "If I had heard anything from the Death Row Prisoners I had wrote to?"

"Not yet, fingers crossed,"I replied.

Now back to the car in the rain.

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

I put on the coffee machine.

Got changed.

Now to use and abuse the Abs machine.

I did about 55 ab crunches.

I had a good workout for 20 minutes.

Now out comes the Spinning Bike.

I did another 15 minutes workout.

Bike went back in the Dining room.

Coffee time.

I carried on watching two episodes of 

I am a Killer on Netflix.

Killer in the Eyes of the Law:

Kenneth Foster's death sentence is commuted just hours before his execution, but he asserts that his punishment under an unusual Texas law is unfair.

The Mockingbird

Raised in an environment of drug addiction and crime, teenager Justin Dickens commits murder but disputes the prosecutor's version of events.

Lunchtime.

Now for part two.

I parked Sexy Beast in the car park of the old Medical Centre. 

That lowing sun is going to make it interesting later. Walked up to put on my lights.

My friend appeared with his dog, and we walked back down, where my other friend was.

Time for a good rabbit!

I said goodbye to my friends.

Now to see how it goes this afternoon.

Oh dear, I had my stick straight out in front of me, when a skoda did the limbo Dance under my stick, my stick even touched his roof rack as he went under!

Next time he might he may not be so lucky!

Once I got back to Sexy Beast.

I couldn't get into the driver's side.

I thought about climbing over the passenger seat. With the gear stick and my lollystick in the way, 

Bad idea!

I dropped the hand brake and rolled the car forward. 

So much, I could actually open my driver's door!

Then off home I went!

I covered up Sexy Beast as the temperatures were going down during the night.

Hubby wasn't going to snooker tonight, as there was a bad fire in Kidderminster and lots of roads were closed, and he wouldn't make the snooker after visiting his dad.

Time for a brew!

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Then started on the the Meat Free Stir Fry.

Hubby came back and had a sloppy wet one 😘

I asked him to put the new duvet into the duvet cover after tea.

He sighed after I told him!

"Anymore of that, and I will find some more chores for you to do!" I said

Tea is ready.

 The door on my Advent calender is:

While I was loading up the dishwasher.

He huffed and puffed putting the new duvet into the duvet cover.....

Moaning afterwards, that the duvet struggled to fit into the duvet cover.

King size duvet →duvet cover!

Easy!

We carried on watching I Am A Killer.

Sympathy for the Devil

Sentenced for a triple murder linked by police to Satanism, Miguel Angel Martinez becomes the youngest person ever on death row in Texas.

Looked into today's newspaper.

Mike Smith was an English singer, songwriter and music producer.

In the 1960s, Smith was the lead vocalist and keyboard player for the Dave Clark Five. The band was a leading unit in the British Invasion of the United States, and were the Beatles' main British rivals before the emergence of the Rolling Stones. 

He would have been 78 years old 🎈

He died aged 64 in 2008. 

Fritz Fryer was the  lead guitarist of the Four Pennies, (born David  Fryer in  Oldham, Lancashire)  He was a grandson of the noted pianist and teacher Herbert Fryer.

He would have been 77 years old 🎈

He sadly  died on 2 September 2007, in Lisbon, Portugal, from pancreatic cancer.

Roy  Orbison  was an American singer, songwriter, and musician known for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. His music was described by critics as operatic, earning him the nicknames "the Caruso of Rock" and "the Big O." Many of Orbison's songs conveyed vulnerability at a time when most male rock-and-roll performers chose to project defiant masculinity. He performed while standing motionless and wearing black clothes to match his dyed black hair and dark sunglasses, which he wore to counter his shyness and stage fright.

He sadly died on this day in 1988 aged 52

 

Sleep Tea Time

There is another storm coming in tomorrow.

Those sexy lumo trousers will be worn...

 

Soggy Glove Time!

A dress has no meaning unless it makes a man want to take it off - Francoise Sagan.

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Nice warm hug to start the Hump with.

Brew with Breakfast.

Thermal vest goes on.

Dressed.

(Several layers!)

I gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before I leave.

It's the first of December. 

Santa Hat month!

On goes 2 winter hats and gloves.

Turns on my lights.

Now's let go to work...🍭

I was walking to my spot, when two High School teenagers were trying to cross over the road.

No cars would stop.

I got to my spot, and lifted my stick in the air.

The traffic stopped!

Perhaps this will carry on....

And it did.

Not one car went under my stick, all stopped!

It must be the sun's rays doing something!

I finished in one piece.

I nipped into Co-op.

I had no problems like last week.

Then I got the newspaper and next door's magazine.

Back home.

I put up my Advent Calender.

The first tea is:

My friend came to enjoy coffee, cake and yak.

We had a good chat, and waved goodbye.

She came back 5 minutes later as she forgot to get the peas I had put in my freezer.

I needed something hot for my lunch.

That's better!

There were some dark clouds, but I didn't think I would need to wear those sexy lumo trousers.

To play safe, I put on my boots, with 2 winter hats and gloves.

I put on my lights and walked back for a yak with my 2 friends.

One offered me a mince pie.

I said no.

The other friend offered me a doughnut.

I had to say no.

I laughed and said:

"I don't want the 5th chin returning thanks!"

 Then I saw the dark cloud...

10 minutes before I was due to start,

The rain started.

We got under some shelter before I was due to start.

Once it was time, I said goodbye to my friends.

The rain kept coming.

All the car drivers going past looked at me getting wet.

Getting soggy gloves by the minute!

At least the car drivers were stopping for me.

The rain stopped just before I finished.

Hometime.

On the way home, one car behind for half a mile didn't put on his headlights on until the car behind him kept flashing him.

Then he decided to sit on my arse the rest of the way!

I was glad to get home.

It had started to rain again.

I still covered up Sexy Beast, as the temperatures were going to fall during the early hours and a frost was due!

My kids then told me about the fun of the Sixth Form Quiz they both entered.

The younger son had got all the Christmas Songs and the artists, but the teacher wouldn't accept them as his team won the previous round.

I was proud of them both for all of their answers to the questions.

(I am glad I keep playing Christmas songs in the house!)

 Hot Chocolate time!

I put the tea in the oven.

Now to get yesterday's blog post wrote.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 when he came home.

Tea was dished up.

Posted blog post.

Now for a little look in today's newspaper.

Matt Monro (born Terence Edward Parsons)  was an English singer who became one of the most popular entertainers on the international music scene during the 1950s and 1970s. Known as The Man with the Golden Voice, he filled cabarets, nightclubs, music halls, and stadiums across the world in his 30-year career. AllMusic has described Monro as "one of the most underrated pop vocalists of the '60s", who "possessed the easiest, most perfect baritone in the business". His recordings include the UK Top 10 hits: "Portrait of My Love", "My Kind of Girl", "Softly As I Leave You", "Walk Away" and "Yesterday" (originally by The Beatles). He also recorded several film themes such as "From Russia with Love" for the James Bond film of the same name, "Born Free" for the film of the same name and "On Days Like These" for The Italian Job. 

He would have been 91 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 54 in 1985. 

While hubby did his working out on the abs machine, and had a shower.

I carried on reading the book about the filming of The Godfather. 

Sleep Tea Time.

Another 100 pages read.

Only hoping the sunshine will be back tomorrow.

Soggy gloves had just about dried out......
