Welcome to my Weekend.

As normal, I was up far too early for a Saturday.

I left Sleeping Beauty to snore.

Downstairs I went↓

 I had tea with toast↓

 Wrote yesterday's blog.

I was listening to "The Sounds of the 60s."

The sun is back↓

 Sleeping Beauty woke up and came down to say hello.

We had warm hugs.

Breakfast.

Got changed.

Out to to get shopping↓

 First stop was to get the newspaper from Tesco Express.

A former work mate from Royal Mail was in there. I said hello from a distance.

(I normally say morning to him when I am doing my Lollipop job🍭)

Next stop, was to see the newly installed gravestone at my parents' grave.

Oh dear, It looks like a bomb has hit it↓ 

 I put everything back the way it should↓

 Next stop was the Farm Shop.

Heard the joke about the chicken crossing the road?↓↓↓

 A man was starring at me in the car park.

I looked at him and recognised who it was.

He says "Good Morning" to me when I am doing my Lollipop job in the morning.

(He gets his newspaper, and makes a joke about the weather :))

I said to him from a distance.

"Hi, how are you?"

He laughed, and said "Morning,fine thanks."

"Nice to see you again, hoping to see you soon, when I get back to the lollipop job!" 

Next stop, was to get some meat for the week↓ 

 There was no queue outside Waitrose.

I went straight in with a newly wiped trolley↓

 Back home to unpack the shopping

 Coffee and nibble↓

 I had the message come throught to pick up the drill from Wickes↓

 We did the social distance when I had my order given to me.

"My new toy to play with!", I told the men who was waiting for their order.

Back home for a late lunch↓

  I catches up on the newspaper↓

  Then I did some internet searches on getting a new drill.

My younger brother was selling my late dad's drill bits on a internet selling site.

(I did want these, and kept telling him.I did find out where he was selling them.I still have to pay to have them back.My brother doesn't do nothing for free!) 

My younger brother had given me an old drill that belonged to my dad,(It doesn't work!) but not the one I wanted.The nice drill (I wanted),someone else has got, or my younger brother sold it before I could get it. So the hunt for a nice drill that wasn't to expensive. I found the exact drill at Wickes my dad had. Paid for it, now have to wait for the email to go and pick it up.

I had bought a new garden bench last week.But the certain website I bought it from, emailed me saying it was out of stock and had a refund.

Found another garden bench.

It's coming on Monday.

The front step needs painting again.

That's coming on Monday.

The newer garden table is coming on Sunday.

My middle son has now broken his lap top we bought him for Christmas.It can't be repaired.

It was supposed to be doing his school work not gaming.That lasted only 4 months!

I have told him I am not going into debt to get him a gaming computer, where the cheapest is £900!
