Oh Yeah, I Got Four More!

I'm not a snob.Ask anybody.Well, anybody who matters -

Simon LeBon.

Welcome to my Saturday 👣

Nice warm hug.

Brew with breakfast.

We listened to "Sounds of the 60's"

What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For?↓

Thermal vest goes on.

As well as some layers.

Now out of the house we go.

Parks car.

Now to look in the first Charity Shop.

There was nothing in there.

Picked up an Americano

(With blue milk)

Plus a cake to eat later on.

Moving on with the Road Trip.

Lots of bargains we got.

Nipped into Waitrose for some bits.

Then back out for a nibble!

On the way back, 

Hubby got his car cleaned...

All nice and clean now.

Back home to unpack all the lovely bargains.

More jigsaws for younger son to do.

Lunchtime.

We rewatched the Meatloaf programme again from last night.

Really good programme.

R.I.P Meat Loaf.

Now to put all the Minions together. 

I will have to make some trousers for the Hulk teddy.

Younger son already did one Jigsaw that we bought earlier.

I carried on writing two blog posts.

Hubby recovered from his migraine.

(Slept it off)

To do the tea.

Tea was finished.

Blogs were published.

Time to catch up with 2 episodes of Top of the Pops from 1992.

A good song was at number 11.

There would be a new number one for the next 8 weeks...↓

Marcella Detroit was sacked in 1993 from the band.

 While unsurprised at the final dissolution of the partnership, Detroit was distressed by the way it ended and how it was announced. Many years later, she would comment "I was never in it to steal anyone's glory away; I just did my job. I was asked by everybody to become part of it and then everybody wanted me out... I learned a lot about what it means to be an artist... To put two people as different as we were together – well, we were bound to have differences personality-wise. In the video for 'Stay', I was singing to this guy who was dying and she (Siobhan) was the Angel of Death. We used our personality differences to our advantage, but it was a little too real!"

Detroit and Fahey had not spoken to or seen each other for 25 years before eventually meeting and talking again in 2018.

They did some good songs together in 2019.

I looked into today's newspaper.

Bill Bixby  was an American actor, director, producer, and frequent game-show panelist. His career spanned more than three decades, including appearances on stage, in films, and on television series. He is known for his roles as Tim O'Hara in the CBS sitcom My Favorite Martian, Tom Corbett in the ABC sitcom The Courtship of Eddie's Father, stage illusionist Anthony Blake in the NBC crime drama series The Magician, and scientist Dr. David Banner in the CBS science-fiction drama series The Incredible Hulk.
He would have been 88 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 59 in 1993.

Exactly a week after it aired in America, the first episode of Hill Street Blues received its UK premiere on this day in 1981.

Joan Armatrading releases

"Drop the Pilot" on this day in 1983.

On this date in 1984 "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood reaches number one in the UK singles chart, despite the BBC ban; it will spend a total of 42 weeks in the top 40.

"Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes was the #1 song on the Billboard charts today in 1984. It was the first of two 2 straight weeks on top.

Airwolf, the action drama tv series debuted today in 1984. The series ran for a total of four seasons airing 80 episodes. 

Then we moved onto watch

"Dragon's Den"

Then we caught up with the news.

Sleep Tea time.

Now to enjoy a very warm bed with a nice and warm hubby!

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

Escaping......That Noise!

The person who knows how to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused - Russ Dudley.

 Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Nice hug to start Hump Day with 🐫

Brew with Breakfast.

Thermal vest goes on.

Dressed.

Younger son had finished another puzzle \o/

He is starting another one after breakfast.

Now out for another road trip...

Now to start visiting some Charity Shops.

Pub had caught fire last year.

It was left to the last two Charity Shops when we found some things we needed.

We put the shopping trolley in the car and went to pick up some bits from Waitrose.

I used the scanner to keep an eye on what I was spending.

Went to scan it out, and had to be checked on what I bought.

Unloaded it all at the next available Cashier.

Only to be told, I only had to be checked for 5 items at the self service.

I replied to that gem was:

"Last time I was checked, the whole lot had to be rescanned...."

"That's been changed now,"I was told.

Just about to pay for it all, and my card wasn't being accepted by the card reader!

Quick wipe and the computer said "YES!"

I need a drink after that!

Now back home to unpack all the shopping.

But first the new soup maker goes on.

Bargains.

Hubby now has a big and small Hulk guarding his Rum! 

Now for the homemade soup.

Then I constructed a little film about Coffee and Rum...

It didn't take too long to do.

Speaking about Coffee....

It's time for one...

My perfume arrived :)

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Now to get the tea ready.

Put on a good film to watch.

Nice easy Veggie Tea.

Someone put their 1979 Misty annual on Twitter.

She was commenting on how much people were selling copies of it.

I have 7 Misty Annuals and missing 1979.

Next a good film starts at 9pm.

All Because The Lady Loves Milk Tray↓

Quick read of today's newspaper.

Sleep Tea Time.

As we were getting ready for bed, my ear plugs had disappeared.

I'm not putting up with loud snoring no way!

I went back downstairs to sleep on the sofa instead...

Night all
