Pass Me A Crystal!

The way I look at it, I'm a human being first and gorgeous second - Harvey Fierstein

Welcome to my Monday 😁

Nice warm hug for me.

(Kept waking up due to pain in right knee!)

Brew with breakfast.

No wobbly work wheel for two wheels \o/

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one before he left for work.

I have jobs to do around the house.

The coffee machine went on.

Sorted through two baskets of clothes, one son had bought down. Some clothes I had washed last week, and he hadn't even worn.

One basket went back upstairs to his room.

Washing machine went on.

Poured the coffee and took it upstairs.

Sorted out all the clothes I washed over the weekend.

My youngest son was coming out with me for a ride to the Salvation Army Charity Shop.

Just abouts got a parking space opposite.

Gets the newspaper from the Co-op.

Waits for the Charity Shop to open.

Once open, I gets some bargains.

Back to Sexy Beast with them.

Back home.

Unpacks the bargains.

I bought a Candlewick bedspread for £3.

Looks like this but in purple.

Nice beach mat for £1.

I put the soup maker on.

Both sons were off to do and take part in a Massage Course.

I will see them later afterwards, as I am finishing my Crystal course.

Light lunch time...

Now to drop the pot of lavender to my parents.

Nothing has been removed since Mother's Day.

Now off to finish my Crystal Course.

I answered the questions and put the crystals where they are supposed to go.

Passed!

I have a good book to read tonight.

Thanks Joe for a great course.

Brings kids home.

Cleansed my crystals.

Tea at 3.

I dropped off my son's to help Joe delivering his leaflets.

Who did I see wearing just a black vest driving his van on the otherside of the carriageway????

My younger gold digging brother.

He best not to get too near to me...

I bite!

Sorted through my Tarot cards up to making tea.

Meat free time.

Yum.

Welcome back to being on the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Nice warm hug for Monday :)

Brew with breakfast.

Then the thermal vest goes on.

And the rest of the clothes.

Next it's time to for work...

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one before I leaves.

Time for those big big sunglasses to come out.

As well as 2 winter hats and gloves.

The lights got turned on.

Now let the fun start 🍭

The sun was out, and 99% did actually stop.

I just had to give out 2 BOINGs.

That's good for a Monday morning!

I finished in one piece.

Then I got chatting to a Grandmother about here experience with a hotel (I know well), for a Carvery meal yesterday.

Served flat shandy! for starters.

I told her about the fun I had at Tewkesbury on Saturday.

I said see you later to her as I crossed over the road back to Sexy Beast. When I got chatting again to someone. I got back to Sexy Beast a hour later than I should have. But as you know too well,

It's good to talk!

I got the newspaper on the way home.

The coffee machine got put on.

Now getting down to do some stuff.

The Soup maker went on.

Gave the house a bit of tidy up.

Now for that coffee!

I carried on writing yesterday's blog post.

Once the soup was made, it was put in a large jug, covered with tin foil, once cooled down, in the fridge for tomorrow.

Now the Breadmaker was put on.

I published last Wednesday's blog post.

Now time for the remaining soup from Saturday.

Mmmm so nice.

Now for round 2:

Time for those big big sunglasses to come out again.

Only one winter hat, and pair of gloves are needed.

Turned on my lights.

Now for a rabbit....

with my two friends.

Enjoying the sun's rays.

Said goodbye to my friends.

Now part two...

I had the low lying sun to put up with!

Still gave out some BOINGs for good measure.

Finished in one piece.

Hometime.

Cup of brew is needed...

I published:

Now to cover up Sexy Beast.

The moon is out already.

The bread came out alright from the Breadmaker.

Now to make my Stir Fry.
