Getting Out In The Sunshine!

"Don't let your sorrow come higher than your knees!" - 
Swedish proverb
 
Welcome to my Saturday 🌟
Brew and hug↑
We had to have crumpets for the time being as we didn't have a enough milk for our porridge.
Dressed.
Now out for part one of our walk↓
We went past my dad's house.
The sold sign is on the board now.↑
Back home.
Back out to drop off son for his boxing lesson.
We go into town.
I went to get my glasses tighted up.
As my glasses like falling down over my nose.
I got chatting to my postie friend.
Once glasses were done.
Back to the car with a much needed coffee.
Picks son up from his boxing lesson.
Back home.
Then back out to get some much needed meat.
Light lunch time↓

Quick look in the newspaper

 I got invited out for coffee before work...
"Yes please".
 I replied to the invite! 
A little bit of singing on the way..
The sun is really bright↓
Now for coffee, yak and chocolate biscuits!
I thanked my friend for the coffee...
Now to get to work with some singing-a-long
I looked over the fields of fun...
I made some people laugh...
(Made my day that did!)
Nothing was mentioned about yesterday
(It will be in the near future, I'm sure about that!)
Back to Sexy Beast and the singing...
 
The sun was still shining except the wind was a bit too strong to sit out in!
Light lunch time↓
I finished writing yesterday's blog post.
Now to look in the freezer for something for tea tonight....
Found something.
Belated Tea at 3.

Big tune to start with↓
I was glad I built a sweat up,
As it was freezing cold when I got home.
We treated ourselves to 2 episodes of NYPD Blue, from season 10.
Once that fresh duvet cover and throw was put on the bed...
Time to warm up those cold hands!

I could see a helicopter in the distance.
While I was going into work, it came over.
Then the fun started like it has this week...
It feels like I shouldn't be having any contact with the kids now, even though I'm employed to do so.
Time is running out of me being there......
I was glad to get back in the Sexy Beast after all of that fun!
Back to the singing↓

I put the tea on and went out for a little walk.
Filled in the sheet.
We might be a little adventurous tomorrow and might go further..
I chatted to my friend who used to visit me on a Tuesday while I was recovering from my accident....
