How Long Will It Last?

Don't rule out working with your hands.It does not preclude using your head - Andy Rooney
Welcome to my Tuesday🎈
Hubby will find out if he is working from home tomorrow \o/
The alarm went off the normal time.
Now for hugs and a cuppa↓
 I had a lift to the newspaper shop from hubby.
At least the sun is out↓
 Gave hubby a big sloppy💋
He went off the work.
I walked back home.
 Sunshine time 😎
Quick look in the newspaper↓

 I carried on updating the blog...
Good job I can remember what I did 2 weeks ago!
Light lunch time↓
 
 I have only 5 blog entries left.
I felt so drained.
(The lesson here, is to space my time on the computer!)
Coffee and nibble↓
 Hubby came back with all the things needed to work from home tomorrow \o/
We had a nice fish tea.
I don't know how long it will be,
Before I get laid off from my two domestic jobs.
(Can't do these from home ;()
I will be going to the Happy Place Of Work tomorrow morning.
Instead I went off to the other job with some great tunes↓
  I was so tired when I got back.
Off to bed I went.....
It must be a first,
 Bed before 9.40pm!
Tomorrow may be a Sunny Hump Day,
It's the first day hubby is working from home......

It's Just A Matter Of A Time!

One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes - Friedrich Nietzsche
Back on a small wobbly work wheel 🎡
Hubby still goes to go to work as he is a Key worker.
We enjoyed a cup of tea and hug↓
 I gave hubby a nice sloppy 💋 before he left the house.
I got dressed.
Now to leave the house to get my newspaper↓
 
 I got my newspaper↓

2 weeks of blog to write.
I stopped for a light lunch↓
 
 Later on,
Coffee and nibble↓
 I get ready to go to the Happy Place Of Work
with some great music↓
I might have to go in later,
Or early in the morning.
Once I finished,
I enjoyed a nice stir fry↓ 
  
 Then off to do final job of the day with some great music↓
  I finished in time to see Boris Johnson talking to the nation↓
 It didn't help last weekend everyone was going out everywhere like it was a Bank Holiday.I fear the numbers will go up towards the end of the week.We already have had one death at our local hospital.
I have more than enough to keep me busy in here.....
I don't want to end up sloathing and  leaving a large shape in the sofa, where I was sitting for the next six months!
 Hopefully hubby will be working from home soon...
(Whether he is looking forward to be stuck in the house with us is another matter ;))

Robbing The Cup Of Soup!

Anything good in life is either Illegal,immoral or fattening 
- Murphy's law
Welcome to Mother's Day 💮💮
Thinking of my late mum....
 (She passed away in 2013)
I enjoyed a much needed lie-in.
 I enjoyed a lovely hug and tea↑
Had some adult time.....;)
Once we got up,
More boxes to sort out...
Empty boxes were put outside for my younger brother to collect.
My younger son made me a nice Mother's Day meal↓
 Hubby tried to go down the tip and the queue was too long.
He came back, unloaded the car.
I found the clock my mum bought my dad.
On the wall that went↓
 Hubby went food shopping with my younger son.
I still had to tidy up the house!!!
When they came back.
I was given flowers!💮💮
 I unloaded the shopping and loaded up the dishwasher.
I went outside for some nice fresh air↓
So much for people stopping in.
The lake near us had been packed for 2 days running.
As my late dad once said:
"The sun brings out people like Freckles!" 
Hubby loaded up the car and tried to go the tip again.
It was closed.
He had to come back and unload the car.
While I was making the pie.
My younger brother was having a text spat with my hubby.
We had gone around to my late dad's house yesterday. I brought back my Horror film book, 2 packs of baby wipes and 8 boxes of cup of soup.
My younger brother said:
"I should have told him, I was taking the cup of soup!"
My reply to that was:
"Funny he hasn't told me the beds, all the furniture that has disappeared!"
He then accused us of taking my dad's clothers and cleaning things.
My hubby put him right on a few things...
Then got blocked for it!
Roll on with no more messages from him..
(I have blocked him from everything.)
The Chicken,Mushroom and Leek Pie is ready!
 Now to chill with Miss Marple↓

Moo,Moo & More Moo!

No matter how long you shop for an item,once you've bought it,it will be on sale somewhere else cheaper - Murphy's Law
It's finally here!
The Weekend 🎈
I still woke up early!
We enjoyed a nice cup of tea,
While listening to the "Sounds of the 60s"↓
We heard the sad news that Kenny Rogers had died aged 81 :(
 He was one of my late dad's favourite C&W singers.
The Plumber was coming to plumb in our washing machine and dishwasher.
(They were dropped off last week by my younger brother, who said if he didn't do it, my prodical brother would dump them!)
I had to finish off my jobs from yesterday.
 Off I go with some great music↓

Once I finished and got home.
The washing machine and dish washer was fitted in.The Plumber did say we had a leaky cold tap under the sink.Would the council charge us to repair that? Or would it come under wear and tear?
Quick light lunch↓
Now off to give my mum her flowers for tomorrow↓
 
 We said goodbye.
Once hubby had checked his car tyres pressure. We went past our nearby lake.
It was rammed!!!!
Off to get some top up shopping↓
 
 
 I am so glad I am tee-total↑
We popped in to get some eggs↓
 We nipped into the Rough Hill Farm Shop↓
On the way home,
I nipped into see what was going on in my late dad's house..
Oh dear↓
 All the beds have gone.
Some wardrobes had gone into the skip.
I took 8 boxes of cup of soup, my Hammer House of Horror Film book and 2 packet of wipes.
I popped into see my neighbour when we got home.
I gave him 6 eggs.
He couldn't find no bread for the past 2 days.
We were nipping into Lidl and will pick some bread up for him.
 I nipped into Dunelm.
 Coffee shop closed.
I got my bits I wanted.
The Till Assistant said to me:
"You live in here," she said to me.
I replied, "I should appear in the Dunelm adverts!"
Lidl had actually some bread.I picked a loaf for my neighbour.
While we were waiting to pay for our shopping. The man in front could only have 4 bottles of beer, the other 20 bottles were put to one side!
When we were being served, I told the till assistant.
"That alcohol won't be here much longer. Everyone will be tee-total like me!".
He replied, "The alcohol be gone tomorrow!"
I said,"I will be turning vegetarian soon, after two week, I will grow a horn on my head,and be saying MOO!"
He and the people in queue laughed.
When we got home, I gave my neighbour his loaf of bread I bought him.
We had a lovely pasta meal in cheese sauce with a bit of fried seaweed thrown in for good measure↓
