Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

While I am stood in the queue, I start singing along with Crowded House's "Don't Dream it's over". Two customers at the tills turned around and smiled.
(Just pray it's not going to rain tomorrow!)
Back home.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before he leaves to go to work.
I put all the washing back out on the line.
Gets Kenny the Kenwood out...
Time to bake!
Gets put in two cake tin in the oven.
Washes up everything to reuse it again.
Puts it in one cake tin and into the oven it goes.
For the third time, uses Kenny to make cup cakes this time.
The first cake was ready to leave the oven.
The second cake soon followed.

I cut out the items needed to decorate the Llama cake.
Then coloured them in ;)
Now to decorate both cakes.
Decorated the cupcakes and Llama cake.
Quick Tea at three.
More baking to be done.
With things from my garden..
All put in a saucepan.
Rolled out the pastry and added to the top of the dish.
In the oven it went.
Quick read of today's newspaper.

Puts the tea on.
Hubby comes back from work.
Nice sloppy wet one 💋 for him.

Lovely.
All the cakes are boxed up ready for tomorrow.
My friends are coming tomorrow, so they are having some cupcakes as well.
We sorted out some more things to go to the Charity Shop tomorrow.
Dining room is looking a bit empty!
We caught up with some news.
Sleep Tea time.
I found out that a singer I love to listening to, had died aged 80.
I played his self-entitled album from 1987 to death on my walkman.
I bought all the singles off the album.
My favourite single of the album is at the end of this blog post.
The forecast for tomorrow is going to be sunny and warm, time to dust off the Bikini! 👙

Welcome to an interesting Saturday 👀👀👀
Up early to listen to "The Sounds of the 60s"
UK Top 3 from 1969.
3: Fleetwood Mac - Man of the World
2: Herman's Hermits - My Sentimental Friend.
1: The Beatles /Billy Preston
Get Back
Hubby had to go and have his hair cut.
I had to put 5 baskets of wet washing on the line.
When he came back, boo hoo his lovely thick hair had gone!
Now for town we go...
We parked in Car Park 4.
Nice views.
We done some shopping in the Kingfisher Shopping Centre.
Next stop was the library.
Sid Khan took my photo surrounded by Councillors from Redditch Borough Council
(Labour)
Hubby was being my bodyguard!
We had a coffee after the chat.
Off to look around the Charity Shops.
I started to sing along with Lou Reed's "Perfect Day", and someone enjoyed my singing!
Wow!
Got loads of things for the upcoming raffle.
Back to the car.
Drink and nibble time.
Back home.
Unpacked all the things that is going into the raffle next month.
Liquid lunch time.
With coffee....
Out of the house we go.
Went out with hubby to get some fuel for his car.
While hubby was filling up.
There was a man opposite, kept staring at me.
Filling his car up - Stared at me.
Got his wallet out of the car, turned around and stared at me.
Off he went into pay for his petrol.
He was still staring at me while he was paying for his petrol.
As soon as  hubby got back into the car, I told about the Stalker.
When the man came out, hubby locked eyes with the Stalker, I lowered my eyes, and then the Stalker lowered his eyes to the floor.
We left before he did!
Now onto Lidl.
Got something for tonight's tea.
Back home.
Now to enjoy some Top of the Pops - 1987

Welcome to my Thursday Fun 👍
Nice day for it ;)
Breakfast and Brew time.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before he went to work.
I had a little bit of lie-in....
Later on I got up, the thermal vest went on.
I was feeling a bit yuk!
Perhaps a coffee might help!
It didn't!
Perhaps a bit of fresh air might help.
Nipped into Morrisons. 
Nice bit of singing might lift my spirits...
Still didn't feel in the mood to go to the Coffee Morning.
Dropped off my friend's kids's Easter Presents.
Back home I go.
One of the storage units was moved \o/
Be able to take some nice sunrise pics from my son's bedroom now :)
I had some liquid lunch.
Back to trying to update the Blog.
Up to Tea at Three.
More blogging up to putting on the tea.
Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet one.
Tea was ready.
(Forgot to take a pic!)
