Attempting To Be A Domestic Goddess: traffic lights

Friday 8 April 2022

That's What I Like, It's Friday!

The easiest way to find something you have lost is to buy a replacement - Rosenbaum's Law

Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈

Nice warm hug.

Brew with breakfast.

Now to wear the Thermal vest.

It went below freezing last night.

I covered up Sexy Beast last night.

Now to uncover it...

My next door neighbour's son had dropped something this morning on the way to work...↓

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one before I left.

The hall car park wasn't open, so I parked around the corner. It was a bit chilly...

Two hats and warm pair of gloves went on.

Big big sunglasses went on as well.

I had a chat with one of my ex-customers who I used to deliver his mail. He had a nice stay at the nice hotel outside the village for his 47th wedding anniversary.

Now to start the final morning shift of the week.

I had a few BOINGs given out to the cars on the otherside of the road, who just looked at me when they went past!

I was given two Easter Eggs.

(One from someone I wave to in the the mornings)

The traffic lights further down the road is making the traffic back up to me.

Which is pleasing people!
Finished in one piece.

Goes back to Sexy Beast.

Gets changed.

Gets the newspaper.

Has a chat about crystals and tarots with someone with a friendly dog!

Wished her a happy Easter.

Now off to look in the Charity Shop.

The traffic lights that are causing the trouble.

Into the Charity shop I go.

Loads of lovely stuff!

Wish them a happy Easter.

Back to Sexy Beast I go.

I phoned a friend about a coffee and yak meeting.

"It's back on!"

Of I go to it...

Americano with whole milk.

Then toast with jam.

My friend arrives...

Yak,yak,yak.

Throat getting a bit dry.

Another Americano...with another nibble.

Gluten Free Flat Jack.

I thanked my friend for coming.

Back home in the sunshine.

Unpacking everything I got this morning.

Easter Eggs↑

The bargains from the Charity Shop↑

I didn't fancy soup, but something really light...

Cheese on Crackers.

Now out to do the final shift of the week...

One winter hat with gloves went on.

Turned on my lights.

It kept clouding over.

Finally rabbit with my friends for the week.

We arranged to meet up for coffee next week \o/

Wished them a good weekend.

Now for the final shift.

Those traffic lights were making the cars slow down, and the queue backed up over the otherside of the road.

One or two BOINGs were given out, now I can raise my big stick!

Wished all the parents a good Easter.

Finished in one piece.

Now hometime for me.

I got chatting with my neighbour's son.

I gave him his twix back he dropped this morning.

His dad's TV has broken, and has borrowed his son's tv to watch Dvds until he can get another one.

Back into my house with all my lollipop gear and big stick.

I puts the tea in the oven.

Hubby comes back and has a wet sloppy one.

Tea is ready.

I writes out the shopping list afterwards.

Hubby then goes and does the food shopping with younger son who is doing next door's neighbour shopping.

While I reading today's newspaper, my right knee started to swell up!

Great!

Red Light Spells Danger!

I wish life had traffic lights, it would tell us when to go for it, when to be careful, and when to just stop.
Anurag Prakash Ray

Welcome to my Thursday 🚦

Nice warm hug to start the day!

Brew with breakfast.

Then the thermal vest goes on.

The sunshine was coming through the net curtains...\o/

Time to leave the house.

On goes the big big sunglasses.

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one.

On goes two hats and gloves.

While I waiting to turn on my lights.

I see the queues forming over the road at the 3 way lights. All 3 stuck on red. Queues started to form.

There was a bus, then two cars behind.

The Black BMW

(The third car behind the bus) tried to overtake eveyone but had to reverse back as a car appeared driving towards it!

I was glad to put on my lights and get to my spot after watching that!

Where was all this traffic coming from?

There were queues of traffic going up the road,

Some cars were waiting and doing U-turns in front of me.

Then there is traffic going past me all up the same side of road I am on!

When it was clear, the cars were failing to stop.

Plenty of BOINGs given out for that!

Finished in one piece!

I picked up the newspaper on way home.

I got the breadmaker out.

Tried to make Sourdough bread, but didn't have the yogurt to put in the mix, and the other way is you put the mix in a plastic cup with lid and put it in the bread pan!

All this messing about, so I thought I would use the Rye flour I bought, to make some bread with.

On it goes for 3 and half hours.

I put on the coffee machine while I was messing about.

Coffee is needed so much!

I get on with writing yesterday's blog post.

Woo hoo another letter from my American Prison Pen Pal.

Ran out of time to finish the blog post!

Time for some hot spicy soup!

Hot Chicken,Leek,Parsnip Soup.

All gone!

Now for round 2.

I took off my jumper, it was that warm.

Still put one hat on with a pair of gloves.

Turned on my lights.

Then went to join my friends for a rabbit.

That went quick!

Said goodbye to my friends.

Now for round 2.

Here we go...

The traffic wasn't moving over the other side of the road.

(They had kept the keep clear space clear for me)

I looked down the road, there was a small van refusing to reverse back, as it was blocking the road, so the bus couldn't come up the road,

(There was lorry behind the bus, so the bus wasn't going anywhere!)

There was a five minute stand off!

The van reversed back up the road, and went into a side road.

A BMW went down the same side road but the van was stuck in the way, she had to reverse out and had to carry on up the road.

The same van reversed out of the side road, held the traffic up again, and went past me up the road. Still lots of traffic, and some not stopping.

BOING TIME.

One of the school is closed tomorrow,

The other 3 are still open.

Hopefully it might be a bit quiet tomorrow.

Finished in one piece.

Now onto my own Tarot Reading.

Very interesting ...

Someone from my past is going to be a Golddigger with me!

Best of Luck with that!

Picks up son, and on the way back home.

Puts pies in the oven.

Peels all the potatoes so we can have some mashed potato!

Tried to get yesterday's blog post finished.

No chance again....

Bread was a disaster again.

Inside the bread was all wet.

Out on the bird table it went.

Try again with a bread mix.

See if I crack it next time!

Hubby comes back to have a sloppy wet one.

Tea is served.

That Tesco own brand of brown sauce is yak!

Now to watch something new on Netflix.

Bingewatched the Season 2.

Then to look into today's newspaper.
