More Hump Day Fun!

What fresh hell is this? - Dorothy Parker, answering the phone.

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪

Hubby came to bed at midnight last night.

I had a bad night's sleep.

Plenty of ...↓

Gets up at 6am and has cold shower.

Heardle time!

Heardle 60s was:

Then it was time for brew and breakfast.

Dressed.

Then out of the door.

Big Big sunglasses time.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one.

I got the newspaper.

Put on the summer coat.

I turned on my lights.

Back to it 🍭

It was getting well busy.

9 cars failed to stop on the otherside of the road.

The 10th car had to do a emergency stop!

Chats with the parents.

Then it starts to rain...

(Even though my pine cone says sunshine)

A brief shower!

See the blue Skoda from last November that tried to run me over!

Funny her license plate doesn't match the car details on the DVLA website!

Finishes in one piece.

Now off to be B3.

Meets friend for coffee and nibbles.

The slices of cake looked nice.

But I'm saving myself for the lovely homemade cake at the coffee morning tomorrow :)

I said goodbye to my friend and off home I went.

Filled up Sexy Beast....

Fuel is getting bloody expensive...

Horse and cart next!

At least the horse poop be good for the garden!

Very light lunch indeed.

Back out for part two.

That black cloud doesn't look too good↓

Traffic lights have been up opposite where I put on my lights.

I turn on my lights and get back to Sexy Beast.

Then the heavens open and it rains really heavy!

One of my friends comes and we wait for the rain to finish.

I change coats into my winter one.

We go and wait in the square for our other friend.

My friend comes, and it's time for a little rabbit..

We were watching the traffic backing up all the way to my spot....

I said goodbye to my friends.

Part two.

One car got tired of waiting for me to cross the kids over the road.

And tooted me to hurry up!

Cars were putting their toe down and not stopping the other side.

It was getting that bad for traffic.

Both sides were not moving but the traffic lights kept changing!

I was glad to finish in one piece!

I drove half way home and didn't release my boot lid was still up.......

I was glad to get home!

Has a ice lolly to call down with.

Puts pie in the oven.

Writes some blog posts.

Hubby comes home for a nice sloppy wet one!

Tea is served.

Now to look in the newspaper...

Let's hope it won't be bedlam tomorrow with those 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!
