Welcome to my Thursday.

I am still coming to terms with the death of my lovely dad..:'(

Thermal knickers get put on... 

I had a lovely hug and cup of tea↓

 I gave everyone their sloppy 💋💋💋

Out of the door I go↓

 

 Today's tree picture↓

 The final picture before I start work↓

 I see two car drivers using their mobile phones while driving...

I saw two Tanks...

(Car drivers not clearing their windscreens!)

It was freezing cold!

However, due to my thermals,

I wasn't feeling it \o/

I finished in one piece.

Back home↓

 The Robin is back↓

 Coffee and nibble↓

 Hubby and I share some soup....↓

 Hubby had got the newspaper earlier.

He died aged 93 in 2017.

 James Whitmore, American actor (The Shawshank Redemption, Give 'em Hell Harry), dies of lung cancer aged 87 years old in 2009.

 It seems I won't be getting my keys to my dad's house just yet. My dad had borrowed my keys, and surprise surprise, my brothers can't find them, so I am locked out and can't visit my dad's house :'(

Now back to do my afternoon shift of Lollipop🍭

 Low lying sun again↓

 It wasn't busy like it will be tomorrow...

I finish in one piece.

Back home.

I get changed...to go to The Happy Place Of Work..

Tea is ready for me when I got back.

A lovely Meat-free meal↓ 

 We have a surprise visitor.

Someone who I haven't seen for four years!

Our kids were glad to see him again!

I took a reunion picture.

 I said goodbye to him...

I went off to do my final job of the day with some great music↓

 We catch up with today's news...

Followed by a rush to a warm bed....

As the Friday Feeling 🎈 is back tomorrow! 

 

Goodbye Dad, Sleep Tight!

Welcome to my sad Hump of the Week🐪

I didn't hear nothing from my brothers about my dad during the night...

I put on the thermal knickers, as it looked quite cold out there.

I enjoyed a much needed hug and cup of tea↓

 I gave everyone their sloppy 💋💋💋 before I left the house↓

 

 Feels colder than that↑↑

Today's tree picture↓↓

 While I was waiting to cross people over.

I saw two people using their mobile phones while driving...

I even had a convoy of 3 cars failing to Stop and going underneath my stick!

The blue van is back, parking on double yellow lines and on a bus stop↓

 My phone kept going off..

I was sensing bad news.

Once I finished in one piece.

My younger brother phoned to tell me our dad had passed during the night.

(I was wondering if he didn't stop with my dad last night and went home. And the prodical brother went upstairs to sleep?)

My hubby was too upset at work and came home.

I collected the newspaper↓

 Barrett Strong  is an American singer and songwriter. Strong was the first artist to record a hit for Motown, although he is best known for his work as a songwriter, particularly in association with producer Norman Whitfield.He is 79 years old 🎈

 Kirk Douglas, American film and stage actor, film producer and author. Popular films include "Out of the Past" (1947), "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (1954), "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" (1957) and "Spartacus". Died aged 103 years old.

 It was a bit warmer when I got home↓

 

 Hubby came back all upset.

We both cried together :'(

Coffee and nibble↓

 First argument of the day with vultures..(Brothers)

They wanted to know where my dad's funeral plan and bank statements...

We didn't know.

They are probably ransacking the house trying to find them!

I already am sorting out the flowers for my dad's funeral.

She did some lovely flowers for my mum's funeral in 2013↓

 

 Light lunch time↓

 We both  needed some fresh air.

Out to do my afternoon lollypop job↓

 

 It wasn't too bad.

Everyone stopped for once!

Back home for coffee and nibble↓

 I got a card and flowers from my Happy Place of Work job↓

 Second argument of the day with the Vultures....

They want to sell my dad's house like the way it is.

I said "No,and what if the other brother who is sitting on his phone, can finish the kitchen while he is there!"

The prodical brother shouted some nasty comments at me.

I told him to "Wind his neck in!" and slammed the phone down on both of them!

Evening meal time↓

 I went off to do my jobs with some good music↓

&

Final job of the day↓

I came back tired.

It was nice to have warm cuddles with hubby in bed...after a sad day.

Time to leave the house↓

 

 Freezing cold!

Should have wore the thermals!

I had the normal fun times...

At least I made it alive!

Listening to how people cope with grief on the radio while I was travelling for my coffee and chat!

I got to my B3 space this time↓

 Time for a big treat↓

 As Lent starts on the 26th February, so no cake or chocolate for over 40 days!!!!!

I had a good chat!

Said goodbye to my friend.

 I had a quick glass of water.

Then out to do my afternoon lollypop job.

The wind is starting to get up...

At least it is still dry!

Still had some cars failing to stop!

I had a sing-a-long on the way back home

I got home,

Gets changed,

Off to The Happy Place Of Work.

I did my bit.

I felt so tired when I got back.

I had a quick 20 min power nap.

Tea done↓ 

 Then off to do my final job of the day with some great music↓

 

Hubby got a phone call from my younger brother, who was upset that my dad wasn't going to last the night.

Hubby took out kids round to see him.

*He looked worst than last weekend*

He probably won't last  much longer.

Hubby was glad the time to say goodbye.

My younger brother was trying to move his guilt on to my hubby, for not coming around more often to see  my dad, when he was a lot better.

I got all this when they came back.

I am glad I didn't see my dad, the way he looked!

 My tea supply has arrived↓

  I either going to have a Happy Hump Day tomorrow

or

A Sad Hump Day.
