 After writing yesterday's blog post.
I unloaded and loaded up the dishwasher
Now to enjoy sitting in the garden↓
I am having 2 Zoom meetings with my soon to be employers and my Union Rep over the next 2 weeks.
(They didn't seem it appropriate to tell me of the upcoming redundancy of me until I got the papers slapped on me yesterday...
Funny the employment laws have changed since the 1850's)
   
 My orders off windmills came.
I had to put them all together↓
 They are scattered about the garden↓
 Light lunch time↓
 My Amazon orders found me↓


 I told the delivery driver how bad Hermes were to misdelivering my parcels.
Always shop Amazon she said.
Time for tea at 3↓


 Sat outside to read the lastest issue of "Prima" magazine.
Which gave me some good ideas....what to do with Poms Poms....
Then to put the tea on for later....
Packed with loads of garlic,lentils,mushrooms....
The kids ate all of it up!


 I had my delivery of hola hoops arrive..↓


 Off to work I go in the sunshine↓


With some great music↓


 Back to enjoy the sunshine in the garden


 Ice cream time↓


 The moon coming out↓


 My hair is getting like Worzel...
I ordered some hair clippers....
Suddenly we were having a gale of wind in the garden.
The windmills were going hell for leather.
It probably was my late dad venting his anger of me going to do my short hair again.
"You look like a bloody coconut!"
 What he always said after I had my number 2  hair cut.
I used to reply back to him.
"If you don't like the look of it, wear a paper bag!"
We ran out of time to watch "Hill Street Blues".
I dragged a tired a hubby off to a warm bed with my even warmer fingers....🐫
