Terrible First Day Back!

 Life without you was like a broken pencil - pointless 

- Lord Blackadder to Elizabeth I, Blackadder II

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Back to work for me :)

Up early to do the Heardles.

60s Heardles:

My answers:

Breakfast and Brew time.

The thermal vest was put on, with lots of layers.

Now to leave the house.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I left.

On goes my winter coat, gloves and hats.

Goes and gets my newspaper.

The Christmas lights are still on and looking lovely.

Swaps my newspaper for my big stick.

Goes and puts on my lights.

While I was waiting, Traffic lights suddenly appeared and were turned on. I am going to have some fun on the first day back!

Turned on my lights,

Now to start work 🍭

Oh dear, it was chaos!

Two emergency stops, the second one, wound down her window and said "She was hungry for trying not to stop!"

One car drove straight through my raised stick and nearly tapped and cracked the windowscreen.

BOINGs  one after another.

Terrible day to come back to!

I need to get rid of this stress that was building up!

Finished in one piece just about!

I go to Morrisons.

And I started to sing along with the music....

Everyone was looking at me singing along.

I got a Birthday card to a little boy whose Birthday it is tomorrow↓

Back home.

The bed bases were put out for the council to take away.

The coffee machine was put on.

Two council trucks were parked over drive.

They were starting to empty next door.

I did offer if they wanted a drink.

They refused.

I had my coffee.

I started to make tonight's tea with a dose of more singing.

Light lunch time.

As I left the house, one of the workers banged my garden arch with a bed base!

Great.

The other worker, asked me who lived there?

I told him, "My neighbour had passed away a day before the Queen in September, and the son was here until last month."

He said, "One bedroom was emptied, the other two bedrooms were full, and all the other rooms were rammed!"

"Wow," I said.

He reckons "It will take 3 days to clear the house and shed!"

I did tell him about the Greenhouse and the boxes of china in there.

I said "Goodbye," and got into Sexy Beast.

There was no room in the normal car park I use, what with the traffic lights, it took me a bit of time to get to the other car park!

Winter coat, winter hats and winter gloves went on. Turned on my lights, the traffic lights are only letting 3 cars through.

Fetched my big stick and waited for my friends to appear in the square.

We are going to have some fun with the low lying sun again!

My friends came to have a rabbit...

When it was time to start.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Hoping it wasn't going to be a bad one like this morning.

Traffic lights and low lying sun created a right bag of chaos.No traffic was moving as the traffic lights stopped working!

Then the U turns started.

Car drivers still stopping in the Keep Clear space!

I was glad to finish in one piece!

Home time.

Nice cup of brew needed!

Chilled until hubby came home.

He had a sloppy wet one 💋

Time to dish up the grub!

Yum!

Now to look in the today's newspapers.

Welcome abroad my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

The sun was already up!

We did all the Heardles.

Heardle 60s was:

 Son's Heardle answers↓

Dressed.

Now time for breakfast and brew.

Got ready to leave,

Opened the front door and the draught excluder fell and banged me on the head....

(It's not going to be a good day I fear!)

Puts on those big big sunglasses...

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋

Got stuck in traffic lights on the way.

Goes and gets my newspapers.

&

To look at the traffic lights.

I get my Summer Coat.

I go and turn on my lights.

I am going to have some fun this morning.

I turn on my lights.

Now for the fun to start on a Monday! 

Let's hope they keep it clear!

The traffic lights wasn't hindering the car drivers for not stopping for me!

One blue BMW done the limbo under my big stick, but couldn't carry on any further as the traffic lights were red!

On the other side, 3 cars, one and the other just ignored my big stick and kept going.

Few more BOINGS  given out!

Suddenly a blue 20 plate Skoda went past...

Short blonde hair, big big sunglasses...

GOT HER!

The same car that tried to run me over in November. It didn't help that the lights turned RED and can the last three letters of the licence plate!

*VU20 ---* 

Finished in one piece.

On the way home, a lorry pulled out of a side road, and nearly took me out.Two large blasts of  horn was needed!

Finally got home.

Coffee machine was put on.

I put my Summer Coat on a short wash.

Hung it out on the line to dry.

Did some more washing.

Coffee time.

Tried to reach a box on top of the shelf in the Dining Room.

Will have to get one of the tall sons to reach it.

As the box contains the cake tin, I am using for the LGBT+ Bake Off in August.

I finished in 2rd place last time.

I tried to put the throw on the our bed, and the link broke in my watch strap!

I then nearly cut off a finger by moving a Craft knife I used to cut adhesive tile covers with!

Anything else wants to go wrong why I am breathing!

I go outside to water the plants.

I need some fresh air after that!

Light lunch time.

Now back out for part two.

The Summer coat had dried nearly. 

New set of traffic lights on the way!

On goes the Summer Coat.

Puts on my lights.

Now to get a ice cold lolly!

The hole has been filled in \o/

Gets my ice lolly, collects my big stick from Sexy Beast. 

Into the park, in the shade I go!

Both friends arrive...

Now time for a little bit of..

Time for work to start.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Car drivers stopping in the Keep Clear space, was making it abit hard for me to cross the kids over. 

Lots of BOING, and BOING were given out due to cars not stopping.

Glad to finish in one piece!

Back home.

I got on with writing yesterday's blog post.
