Time to reach for those big big sunglasses of mine...
Now more sing-a-longs...
The sunshine followed me!
I looked across the fields of fun↓
There was some nice baking going on...
They looked and smelt really nice!
It was still sunny when I left.
More singing to do...
Back home in the sunshine.

My youngest's son's new winter coat has arrived↑
He has had his old winter coat for the last 5 years.
Hopefully this one will last a long time too! 
I had a message from my Lollypop Boss.
I'm back next week!
I have a quick lunch↓
My youngest brother turns up with some forms for me to fill in.
He was holding a McDonald's coffee.
"Where is mine?" I ask.
"You have a kettle to make a coffee!".
I will remember this next time he demands a cup of tea when he visits!
I found out why I haven't been having no paperwork from the solicitor as, 
She has put my address as my younger brothers!!!
Next I find out, all the fixtures and fittings in my dad's house is in the price of the house. Nothing was said to me about it until now.
My youngest brother said:
"Don't moan, we got an extra £10,000 above the market price!"
I did put down on the paperwork that the upstairs bathroom the Prodical brother put in, it isn't finished.
He has still put an invoice to the Solicitor for the finished bathroom, which isn't finished! 
I emailed the Solicitor to see if we are going to have the money from my late dad's bank accounts. She said in a few weeks time....
Now she is saying, she will put it together with the money from the house instead....
Great!
I was glad when he left!
I wasn't in the mood for sewing after that!
I got more food shopping online that will help keep down our food shopping at the weekend.
Hubby had a big sloppy 💋 when he came home.
As it was nice and dry...
Back on the daily walk....
0.92 miles done.
We had some nice beef burgers for tea.
Even watched one episode of NYPD Blue...
Then off to work I go with a big tune:
There was a nice big moon out when I got home↓↓
Caught up with this week's GBBO.
With some sleep tea↓
Let's hope for a sunny hump tomorrow!
