Terrible First Day Back!

 Life without you was like a broken pencil - pointless

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Back to work for me :)

Up early to do the Heardles.

60s Heardles:

My answers:

Breakfast and Brew time.

The thermal vest was put on, with lots of layers.

Now to leave the house.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I left.

On goes my winter coat, gloves and hats.

Goes and gets my newspaper.

The Christmas lights are still on and looking lovely.

Swaps my newspaper for my big stick.

Goes and puts on my lights.

While I was waiting, Traffic lights suddenly appeared and were turned on. I am going to have some fun on the first day back!

Turned on my lights,

Now to start work 🍭

Oh dear, it was chaos!

Two emergency stops, the second one, wound down her window and said "She was hungry for trying not to stop!"

One car drove straight through my raised stick and nearly tapped and cracked the windowscreen.

BOINGs  one after another.

Terrible day to come back to!

I need to get rid of this stress that was building up!

Finished in one piece just about!

I go to Morrisons.

And I started to sing along with the music....

Everyone was looking at me singing along.

I got a Birthday card to a little boy whose Birthday it is tomorrow↓

Back home.

The bed bases were put out for the council to take away.

The coffee machine was put on.

Two council trucks were parked over drive.

They were starting to empty next door.

I did offer if they wanted a drink.

They refused.

I had my coffee.

I started to make tonight's tea with a dose of more singing.

Light lunch time.

As I left the house, one of the workers banged my garden arch with a bed base!

Great.

The other worker, asked me who lived there?

I told him, "My neighbour had passed away a day before the Queen in September, and the son was here until last month."

He said, "One bedroom was emptied, the other two bedrooms were full, and all the other rooms were rammed!"

"Wow," I said.

He reckons "It will take 3 days to clear the house and shed!"

I did tell him about the Greenhouse and the boxes of china in there.

I said "Goodbye," and got into Sexy Beast.

There was no room in the normal car park I use, what with the traffic lights, it took me a bit of time to get to the other car park!

Winter coat, winter hats and winter gloves went on. Turned on my lights, the traffic lights are only letting 3 cars through.

Fetched my big stick and waited for my friends to appear in the square.

We are going to have some fun with the low lying sun again!

My friends came to have a rabbit...

When it was time to start.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Hoping it wasn't going to be a bad one like this morning.

Traffic lights and low lying sun created a right bag of chaos.No traffic was moving as the traffic lights stopped working!

Then the U turns started.

Car drivers still stopping in the Keep Clear space!

I was glad to finish in one piece!

Home time.

Nice cup of brew needed!

Chilled until hubby came home.

He had a sloppy wet one 💋

Time to dish up the grub!

Yum!

Now to look in the today's newspapers.

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Nice big stretch to start the day \o/

It's Heardle Time!

Heardle 60s:

My answers:

 

Now time for breakfast with brew.

Dressed.

I was leaving off the sexy lumo trousers for once.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 😘 before I left.

The caretaker asked if all the school are now open.

"Yes, now for the fun to start!"I replied. 

I went and got the newspaper.

Then on goes on the summer coat.

I waited to put on my lights.

Back to it I go 🍭

Oh dear, back to car drivers ignoring my big Stop sign.

One of my friends I talk to in the afternoon came down with his dog, to say he wouldn't be here in the afternoon.

I reminded the parent whose 20th Wedding Anniversary it is next month.

"Better buy some china cups, and you can clink each other's cups, as it is china for the 20th Anniversary!"

In the end, I gave out 4 BOINGS in the morning session.

Finished in one piece!

I nipped into the local Co-op for some bits.

A great tune came on the radio.

Just had to sing along with it!

One customer said to me:

"You are not supposed to happy while you shop!"

"I like singing while shopping!"I replied.

I finished my shopping.

I got my free coffee from Costa Coffee.

Now back home.

Put the shopping away.

Now to enjoy some coffee!

I wrote yesterday's blog post up to lunchtime.

Light lunch.

Hubby had blue skies at work↓

I had grey clouds↓

Time for part two↓

I put on my winter coat.

Turned on my lights.

Got the ice lolly.

Fetched my big stick.

Now to chill out...

One friend came and we enjoyed a good rabbit...

I said,"Goodbye" and now to start the afternoon shift.

Oh dear here we go again.

Boing, Boing, and more Boing.

Back to normal!

My friend appeared again who I chattered to this morning.

I finished in one piece.

Carried on chatting to him back at where I had parked Sexy Beast.

After 45 minutes it was time to say goodbye!

I said,"See you tomorrow!" as I drove away.

Back home.

My mouth was dry.

Time for a cup of brew!

I started on the tea as well.

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

Tea is served.

I looked into today's newspaper.

My late dad put in our shower, 11 years ago.

It now had decided not to work.

So having to scroll through Screwfix website and Tool Station website for a new one!

That reminds me I have to chase up people for a new boiler, as the old boiler has just celebrated it's 16th birthday.

Hubby went around to give the son of the next door neighbour, his TV magazine.

His son had just come back from the hospital, when his phone rang, to come back as his father was sadly going.

Hubby came back upset, as he lost his dad in April. 

Sleep Tea time.

Going to enjoy the Hump 🐫 in bed!
