Round And Round

The crux...is that the vast majority of the mass of the universe seems to be missing - William J Broad
Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel🎑
 It was forecasted rain with a dab of cold...
Those sexy yellow trousers will have to come out....
It was nice to enjoy the tea and hug at the start of the day↓
 Those yellow sexy trousers were put on.
Gave everyone those sloppy πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹ 
I left the house↓
 I was in two minds to take off those sexy trousers as there was no rain!
Today's tree picture↓
 It was dry but cold.
I had a few drivers that were unwilling to stop.
I will have to stop wearing my brown boots as I was hobbling because of the pain in my right foot.
I finished in one piece.
 No double figures↑↑
 I enjoyed a much needed cup of coffee↓
 My new table cloth and runner arrived↓
 I enjoyed a light lunch↓
 Now back onto the singing I go..
I had a little peak in the newspaper↓
Gillian Gilbert  is an English musician and singer, best known as the keyboardist and guitarist of the band New Order.She is 59 years old 🎈
 Mark  Owen, is an English singer and songwriter. He is a member of pop-group Take That.He is 48 years old 🎈

I had my first look across the fields of fun↓
 
 I told those concerned that my dad has not got much time left.
I mentioned that my younger brother was trying to clear the house.
"Disrespectful" was the answer to that.
I finshed with a red face. 
While I was singing along,
I got upset while thinking about my dad :'(
Back home..
Quick coffee, and to look at my magazines that came in the post↓
  My Amazon box was delivered to next door.
Back out to do my final lollipop of the day.
(No lying sun to worry about)
I left off my sexy yellow trousers.
There was a light rain shower.
I finished in one piece.
Gets home,
Gets changed.
Off to the Happy Place of Work.
I had to fill in the accident form about what happened last Friday.
Someone asked me if I was stalking on him on LinkenIn.
I laughed, and said I just put in this firm's name and if I knew any of the names on there. I love the 20 year old picture of himself he put on his profile :) :) :)
I gets back to do a beef stir fry.
 
Followed by the cheesecake my son made at school.
Now to burn it all off by doing the final job of the day, with some great music.
 Once I finished I returned the calls that my younger brother had been trying to call me while I was at work!
The Prodical brother is stopping with my dad for a few days, and is looking for his funeral plan....says my younger brother. 
Still trying on the grab as normal.
Younger brother is going to make a list of things in the house, and the three siblings have to decide what we all want!!!!!
My dad hasn't gone yet and they are flying round and round like vultures....
My younger brother was trying to stick up for the Progical brother.
I had some facts that he seemed to have forgot about:
The Progical brother walked out on partnership with my dad, leaving my dad out of pocket, returning the blue van, my brother wouldn't help pay for.
The boiler my brother fitted in my dad's house. My dad paid for it, and paid my brother to fit it.
The bathroom my brother did.
My dad paid for the bathroom suite, and gave my brother his BMW car.Which after pesting my dad for, got it, and then sold it!
My Progical brother is all over my dad this week...
Where was he when our mum died???
In the last seven years, he got probably gone up twice to her grave if he is lucky.
You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family!

Turning A Nice Green!!

He's as slippery as an eel that's been rubbed all over with axle - grease - P.G Wodehouse
Welcome to my chilled Sunday🎈
I had a little bit lie-in...
Then it's tea and hug time!
 Now to leave the house↓
 Off to give Sexy Beast a shower!
 We went round to see my dad.
Oh dear, he hasn't got too long on this planet.
My hubby tried to put some gel on his knee, only he hasn't got no knee, he has got that thin!
I gets back.
Sexy Beast is looking well nice!
 A little visit out↓

 Nice price↓
 Back home.
I did some housework..
Light lunch↓
 My right foot was hurting.
While I was resting my foot up,
&
catching up on this week's newspapers.
Hubby went food shopping.
My younger brother phoned up..
Then it started...
He wanted to clear everything from the first floor of my dad's house even though my dad is still alive!
I said "He was being disrespectful to my dad.As he hasn't gone yet!"
I told him,"I don't want him to do it, if he goes against me, I will cut him like I have cut off my other brother...!"
"I'm not making a profit out of it!" He squealed at me.
He tried to out shout me, and failed.
I was slowly turning green,as my anger level was going up ↗↗↗↗
In the end, I put the phone down on him.
When hubby came back, I told him of the event of me turning green! 
After putting the shopping away.
My younger brother phoned my hubby.
He said, " I have got the wrong end of the stick, just de-cluttering the first floor, not stripping out of all of the stuff...."
(He is back pedalling from last Wednesday's visit.)
My younger brother didn't tell me that my other brother was visiting my dad at the same time as he phoned my hubby.
Who's pulling whose strings????
I got on with the evening meal.
Using the nice casserole dish I bought↓ 
Another half an hour, my younger brother phoned my hubby again.
"Have you talked to my sister?" He asked.
"Can I come over tonight to talk to her?" He asked.
Hubby just told him to leave it for now.
Then he told my younger brother↓
"Make the most of the time your dad is here!"
Tea is ready↓
 Sausage and Dumplings!
 Younger brother keeps phoning my hubby!
My new plant I bought this morning↓

 The exchange of sex for money is legal in Britain, so long as it doesn’t involve coercion, exploitation, or any kind of public nuisance. Now, fuelled by websites and social media, a new economy has emerged – bringing a world of transactional sex to people who might never have previously considered it. 
My younger brother texted my hubby and me, that is trying to spend as much time with our dad as possible and will clearing out his house at a later date!
