I woke up far too early for a Sunday.

 I unloaded and loaded up the dishwasher.

Tidied up the kitchen.

Now for the first brew of the day↓

 I had my breakfast.

Sleeping Beauty rose from the warm pit.

While he had his breakfast,

I went to enjoy that warm bed for a bit.

Felt better when I got up.

Hubby had sold one of sewing machines.

(I have another one, to use, don't worry!)

 Hubby mowed the lawn.

Looks better now.

Out for some fresh air....

A lot of bad driving about...

 I popped in to see my mum and dad↓

 

 I popped into my local Tesco Express

 It was that windy, the white builder's bag was blowing down the road....it got as far as the white car↓

 Back home to enjoy a late lunch↓

 It was nice to sit outside in the sunshine!

I had to get Kenny out to make my son's Birthday cake for tomorrow.

Once the cake was in the oven,

I had two blog posts to write...

As we have finished watching Hill Street Blues...

We caught up on 3 weeks of Top of the Pops from 1989.

Oh dear, some songs were fast forwarded....

Except a certain breaking song...

Which I knew word for word as I had their album,"A bit of what you fancy," played it to death in the early 1990s...

 Tea was served↓

 Jive Bunny was knocked off the top...of the charts :(

They will be number one for a week in December....↓

 I had  more songs to my Play List.

I got over 620 songs on it.
The boxset I ordered is due to come Wednesday or Thursday.... 

The Salted Caramel cake had cooled down.
Finishing adding the chocolate tomorrow. 
Back on the tiny Wobbly Work Wheel tomorrow 🎡
