Hello Sailor!

I have a perfect cure for a sore throat - cut it!
- Alfred Hitchcock
It was nice to have a lie-in....
Tea and hug time!
 Afterwards it was the big tidy up!
One son made friends with Henry and hoovered up and downstairs.
I meanwhile had to fill up the chest of drawers I moved in yesterday↓
Washing machine and tumble drier on.
Shopping list wrote out.
Early lunch↓
 Out for a little ride to Lidl↓
 At least they left the Shea Butter toilet roll for me↓
 We got to the till.
The till operator said to the amount to my husband.
"I forgot my pin number!" He said.
The mug light on my forehead was flashing by now!
 I had to pay for the shopping instead.
I go off to look in Dunelm to get the "Mug Light" from flashing anymore.
 I got some things in the sale↓↓
 "Hello Sailor" sign on my bathroom wall↓
 Back out↓
 No hand wash↓
  At least they had the concrete mix I use on my face!
&
Dentures toothpaste. 
Back to put all my work stuff back into Sexy Beast.
Washing machine and tumble drier still on.
We caught up on more telly from last week.

The new series of "Dragon's Den"
 Tonight’s hopefuls include a beauty entrepreneur whose tools have a social as well as practical purpose and two low-alcohol brewers who hope the Dragons will stump up for the ultimate round of investment. And the multimillionaires try more than a business on for size when a footwear entrepreneur pitches his range of hand-finished shoes. Will he leave the Den walking on air?

The Vultures Are Circling...

Children learn more from what you are than what you teach - W.E.B Dubois
Welcome to my Hump of the Week🐪
A nice tea in bed with a warm hug↓
I gave hubby a nice wet 💋 before he left the house.
I have things to do this morning...
Out in the fresh air..↓
 It's getting warmer↓
  New sunglasses on↓

I got the newspaper,
Filled up Sexy Beast .
Next stop another visit to the Man's Cave↓
  I said to the Sale's Assistant who served me:
"I went to school with  your mum!".
(she blushed,and went to get my order)
When she came back, 
I said,"I stalk your mum on FB."
She said,"My mum is on holiday."
I replied, "A nice break away from this town does wonders for the soul!" 
My nice items↓
 
 Quick look at the newspaper before I get out of Sexy Beast. 
 The temperature is going up↗↗
I sorted out the back garden.
All the cabbages had been ate by caterpillers...
The remaining cabbages were put in the composter.
The washing machine went on 3 times.
Making full use of the sunshine.
All the washing went on the line.
Just keeping a eye on the weather.
I picked some blackberries out in the front garden, and picked the rhubarb that was growing in the back garden.
 Hopefully I will have a second batch of rhubarb later↓
 Early lunch↓
 I had some nice post↓
 
 After I came back from work,
The Rhubarb,Blackberry, Lemon & Ginger pie was put in the oven.
After our main meal,
It wa ready to eat↓
 After I watched Law and Order,
Off to work I go with some great music↓
I had a phone call from my younger brother.
Moaning on the keepsafe being broken by my Dad's carers for the second time. He wanted me and the prodical brother to pay towards another one!
I laughed.
My response was:
"He, and the prodical brother earn loads more money than me, when I earn the same as them , then I will put money in the pot."
He didn't like that reply.
Further on with the conversation,
"My younger brother is having my dad's Rover SD1 car that is in the garage, while prodical brother had now been given my dad's BMW!!!"
Feels like the vultures are circling... 
I was glad to get home!
Prodical brother was stopping over at my dads for the night, so we didn't need to go over!
After I had my sleep tea...
It was nice to enjoy Hump Day!

Using More Blue Chalk!

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do - Walter Bagehot
We had a sort of lie in...
When I woke up, 
After breakfast,
I found someone selling half a tub of blue paint. I made her an offer, and won it \o/.
Now to leave the house↓
 It's getting warm again↓
 We pick up the paint.
 Then off to Aldi for this week's shopping.
 Pity I don't drink↑
 Only the best toilet roll↑
 I got a spare mop too.
Back home for lunch.
Now for day two of snooker.
Off we go
