Shining On The Halo

Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge
 - Audre Lorde
Welcome to my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
 I gave a nice big stretch!
Now for cuddles and a cup of tea↓
 I gave everyone their sloppy 💋💋💋
(I didn't hear anything from my younger brother, so my dad must still be here!)
 Time to leave the house↓
 
 It's getting warmer↗↗↗
Today's tree picture↓
  The sun was shining its rays on me, while I was stood still waiting to cross people over.
One man, commented, "It looks like it's charging up your halo!" 
I had a few failing to stop like normal!
At least I finished in one piece!
Gets back home...↓
 
 I had a must needed coffee, while reading the Waitrose Food magazine↓
 I put the dishwasher on..
Then for a light lunch↓
 I helped my neighbour with his shopping before I left.
Now for some great singing:
I have a peek in the newspaper↓

 I performed some great miracles again!
Plus a great red face! 
Back on to the singing wheel↓
Back home↓
 Coffee and nibble↑
Back out to do the afternoon Lollipop shift.
Oh dear.
One car failed to stop, and went straight under my lollipop stick.
The car driver on the other side, rolled down his window, and said:
"You should stick that stick through his windscreen!"
I laughed, and replied,"Don't give me ideas!"
One Porsche driver was revving up his car behind me when I was crossing some parents over!
One van looked like it wasn't going to stop, until the very last minute....
I survived!
Back home to get changed.
Off to the Happy Place Of Work.
Nice red sky when I got finished↓

 I makes my meat-free Stir Fry.

Yum Yum
Now to burn it off at the final job of the day.
While going past the Offices,
One office was open. The man was busy at work on the computer. I noticed the gold bell attached to the wall....
Does it get rung if they get a sale????
Now for some great music↓


 I gets back.
Jumps into a hot shower...
Afterwards, the plan is to catch up with the weekend newspapers in a very warm kingsize bed....
Zzzzzzzzz
