Can't Even Have It!

Ducking for apples. Change one letter and it's the story of my life - Dorothy Parker

Welcome back to the Friday Feeling 🎈

Up early to do the Heardles.

Heardle 60s:

My answers:

Breakfast with Brew.

I got dressed.

(Thermal vest included)

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

Dishwasher went on.

Now out for yak and coffee.

I got the newspaper on the way.

I had to choose which way to get to the Garden Centre, as both ways had traffic lights.

I turned left at the island and fun with those lights.

Gets to the Garden Centre.

Now to take some photos of my surroundings.

The staff was glad to see me.

Coffee first.

Toast

My friend arrived.

Other guest joined the conversation.

I was told there is family of 4 robins that come for breakfast.

I had another coffee.

Then we left.

She is coming round next week for some Chocolate cake....

(As we can't have any as we have given up Chocolate and cake for Lent)

*So no Birthday cake for me on Tuesday.*
On the way back, I saw and waved to one of my friends who I have a rabbit to on weekday afternoons.

Speaks of friends, I saw the other friend who I rabbit to on a weekday afternoon, walking his dog. I stopped Sexy Beast, and had a nice long rabbit with him.

He even me what he bought me for my Birthday!

Wished him a good weekend and see him on Monday afternoon!

Back home I went.

Liquid lunch time.

Now to write yesterday's blog post.

I had Tea at 3.

The tea got put in the oven for later.

I had emails concerning the saga involved my house......

They have arranged a meeting for us to discuss the options.....

(there won't be Morecambe and Wise coming either like last time either!)

Probably one option...

When am I shipping out.....?

Hubby came back and had a sloppy wet one 💋

Tea is served.

Now to look into today's newspaper:

Time to catch up with The Apprentice.

We have brought back 50% of the pictures we put up on the walls of my late father-in- law's house...

Tomorrow is going to jig the pictures I have already, to put the others up.

If I had to move out, it's going to cost the Council a lot in storage costs...

I know where two storage units are, that hopefully will be avaliable by March 31st....↓↓↓

Sleep Tea Time.

Now to enjoy the Friday Feeling in bed 🎈

In The Need To B3!

It works better if you plug it in - Sattinger's Law

Welcome to my Tuesday Yak!

The sun is slowly coming out \o/

Heardle Time:)

Heardle 60s:

My answers:

Brew with Breakfast time.

Dressed.

I was out of the house before everyone else.

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

I picked up the newspaper before I went on my way.

The fun I have with other car drivers.

While on the dual carriageway, coming up to the big island, one white Fiat 500 overtook me, and then went straight in front of me, coming straight up to the road traffic island.

I followed her through two sets of traffic lights, one hand on the steering wheel, the other hand was messing with her hair!

After the second set of traffic lights, the road goes from two lanes to one. A man in a red Panda still tried to overtake me and had to get behind as he ran out of road!

I was glad to get to B3 in one piece!

There was no queues of people to get in like last Friday.

I went and had a look around.

Someone came over and thought I was giving him his breakfast. Not in a very good mood when he found out I wasn't!

I moved onto looking at some coffee machines.

Even better than that one↓

The third one, is the one I have got.

It makes nice coffee!

Speaking of coffee,

Best go and get a table.

My friend arrived.

Yak, Yak , Yak.

Toast time.

Another coffee to have↓

Got some nice things off the reduced stand.

Said goodbye to my friend, and off home I went.

Hubby was still at his late dad's house.

Nearly cleared a room out on his own.

Took him 3 hours to do it.

He had enough of doing it.

I told him to come back home when his brother shows up.

He was on his way home.

The coffee machine was put on.

Dished up his and mine lunch.

Hubby came back and had a sloppy wet one 💋

One son had overslept.

He went out finally to deliver some leaflets for the upcoming by-election↓

I had my post.

It had all arrived too late to be used.

Time for a bingewatch of a new series that was dropped on Netflix.

We had a nice Steak Tea.

I caught up with today's newspaper.

Welcome back to the Friday Feeling 🎈

Nice warm hug to start Friday with!

Brew with breakfast.

Thermal vest went on.

Going to be a dry day \o/

No frost overnight either.

Uncovered Sexy Beast.

Two winter hats and my big big winter gloves went on.

I put on my lights.

Now to enjoy some Friday Feeling 🎈

Oh dear,

Car drivers just going under my big raised stick!

BOING went my stick!

One woman driver came past me, messing with her hair with both hands,

Who was driving the car????

At lot of cars are missing their front license plates!

Too tight to put it back on.

The flower lorry that normally comes on a Thursday, came today with a extra trailer...

All those red roses for Valentine's Day!

I met up with an ex-worker from Royal Mail.

He made my life hell while my I was work!

Finished in one piece.

I got some cake for everyone.

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

Coffee machine went on,

As well as the soup maker.

All ready for my friend to come around for coffee, chat and cake.

With Lent starting on March 1st.

No cake or chocolate for 6 weeks!

Good job my Birthday is before March 1st!

My friend arrived.

Yak,yak, yak.

The post arrived.

I had a return letter from one of the other 3 Prison Pal Pals to write back.

He has had Covid twice!

I even had the £30 Dunelm gift card.

£40 to spend in store tomorrow!

I said goodbye to my friend.

Now for some liquid lunch!

Then out for final shift of the week.

I got the two doughnuts ready for my friends.

One hat with gloves went on.

Turned on my lights.

Went back to have a rabbit with my friends and hand out the doughnuts!

Said goodbye to my friends.

Now for my final shift of the week!

I had one lucky van go straight under my outstretched big stick.

Limbo dancing time!

Cars not stopping the otherside either!

I was so glad to finish in one piece!

Hometime.

Fish was put in the oven for tea.

I got on writing yesterday's blog post.

Hubby had a big wet one when he returned from work.

Now to dish up the tea.

We caught up with this week's Dragon's Den.

Hubby and son went out to do some food shopping.

I meanwhile loaded up the dishwasher.

Then to look into today's newspaper.

Vincent Eugene Craddock , known as Gene Vincent, was an American musician who pioneered the styles of rock and roll and rockabilly. His 1956 top ten hit with his Blue Caps, "Be-Bop-a-Lula", is considered a significant early example of rockabilly. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. He is sometimes referred to by his somewhat unusual nickname/moniker The Screaming End.

He would have been 87 years old 🎈

He sadly died in 1971 aged 36.

Sorrell Booke was an American actor who performed on stage, screen, and television. He acted in more than 100 plays and 150 television shows and is best known for his role as corrupt politician Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg in the television show The Dukes of Hazzard.

He died on this day in 1994 aged 64
