Crazy Drivers Are Back Again!

There's no room for amateurs, even in crossing the street

- George Segal, on New York

Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Breakfast and Brew.

Dressed.

Now out of the door.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 😘.

I had to park in the car park opposite as the Village Hall car park wasn't open.

On goes the Winter coat, summer hat, gloves,

Big big sunglasses.

I walk down to turn on my lights.

I gets the newspaper.

The gates are now open.

Moves Sexy Beast.

Gets my big stick out.

Now off to turn on my other lights.

Now to go to my spot...🍭

It was quiet for a bit, as the High School was having TE day.

I got chatting with the parents and children.

One SUV drove straight under my raised stick!

"BOING" he received.

Still had cars on the otherside weren't stopping.

I survived this shift.

Back to Sexy Beast.

I got changed and popped into the Village Hall for two agendas for tomorrow meetings.

Back home I go.

Coffee time.

Sorts out some Council Business.

Sends some ideas for next year's 80th Anniversary of D - Day.

Cuts up Halloween cake for my 4 friends.

My dress for Rememberance Day arrived.

Liquid lunch.

Has a text from younger son about having a melt down at work.

I have a quick chat with hubby on his lunch break.

Then off out I go.

Pops into see son.

He is alright now.

I bump into my lovely friend who I used to work with at Royal Mail.I give him a big,big, hug as I haven't seen him in ages.

He is visiting Scotland on a Coach next month just before his Birthday.

I wished him a lovely time.

On the way out, I saw a Councillor on the Poppy Stand. I got a lanyard and a poppy to add to it.

Got chatting about the house next door.

Then off I went, back to work.

I visited the War Memorial, as it was cleaned last week.

(Someone told me this morning)

I walked back to Sexy Beast.

I got on my winter coat, summer hat, and big big sunglasses.

A good Pillar Box topper appeared:

I dropped some cake around to my friends, turned on the lights, and walked down to the Charity Shop.

I had a yak and look around.

(Didn't buy nothing)

Says goodbye to everyone.

Turns on my other lights.

Gives a piece of cake to my friend.

Gets big stick out and off to the square we went.

I had chat with one of the mothers.

Then I say goodbye to everyone and has to put up with the low lying sun.

Then I have two vans blocking my view of cars coming up the road.

The Traffic Warden told to move,

It did to the opposite side on double yellow lines and on a bus stop. The van then moved and parked on the live single line further down the road which you can't park on between 3pm - 4pm.

The Traffic Warden ticketed a red car that was parked on the live line earlier and got abuse for giving them a ticket.

My fun carried on.

Nearly hit a windscreen as a car drove straight under/around my raised stick.

One car slammed his brakes on, causing smoke to come from his wheels and made a nasty skid mark on the road when they stopped!

My other friend appeared towards the end of my shift.

Once I finished, we walked over to Sexy Beast.

I gave him, his piece of Halloween cake.

I told him to be a bit earlier tomorrow.

I wished him a good evening.

On the way home, I followed an ex-Councillor.

He kept looking at me in his mirror as his car was veering to the left a lot. He went off down a side road. I was worrying he was going to follow me home!
