Sooner Rather Than Later!

The Friday Feeling is back 🍿 
I hope for lots of fun....
(I can only hope!)
Brew and Hug.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Now out.
Gave everyone their sloppy wet 💋💋💋
Moon still out↓
Nice sunrise shot before I start.
I had the normal fun with car drivers ignoring my Stop sign.
I finished in one piece.
Off to fill up Sexy Beast as it was surviving on petrol vapors...
Picked up a strong coffee on the way back.
After a bit of quick housework.
Now to enjoy the coffee!
Now to carry on with some singing in Sexy Beast.
 
I had quick read of the newspaper.

 I looked across the fields of fun..
I had more fun,fun,fun.
Now to get back into Sexy Beast.
Someone tried to take me out on the road that narrows.......
Glad to get back home in one piece!
Yum, yum, light lunch time.
Then back out again.
Summer coat back on.
It was getting to the point, that a windscreen was going to be taken out.As car drivers were going under my stick, and near enough to my stick....Be warned....it will happen sooner rather than later!
My friend popped by after I finished for a little catch up on Cd buying and films.
I didn't realise the time as I have a other friend waiting for me at my house for coffee and chat!
Gets back...
Yak, coffee, and chat....
I felt better after that.
Thanked her for coming round.
Hubby appeared soon after.
Pizza time!
Now to burn it off by singing!
Final big tune of the week...
Gets back home.
We watched some more NYPD Blue season 11.
 All ready to welcome the weekend!

Rain Or Shine?

The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all 
- Jawaharlal Nehru
Welcome to my Thursday 🍾
Looks like I will be dodging the rain....
Brew and hug.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
I left it too late for a daily walk.
Instead gave everyone their sloppy wet 💋💋💋
It forecasted heavy rain this morning.
The sexy lumo trousers had to be worn.
As normal, It rained for 20 seconds than the sun came out!
I had the normal fun of car driver on the other side of the road failing too stop!
That's why my lollipop stick goes first in the road instead of me!
Finished in one piece.
After loading up the dishwasher.
Adding missing curtain hooks to curtains over the front door curtain.
I sat down to  coffee.
Back out to enjoy a new CD I bought last week.
Now for some singing along...
 
Has a quick peek in the newspaper.

 I looked across the fields of fun..
I had another bump in the road while in work.
Never the same day twice.
I was glad to get back to the singing in Sexy Beast.
Those clouds are not looking too good...
 Light lunch↓
It did say rain was forecasted...
I tried my luck..
Summer coat with boots...
One car driver drove past me,
Turned around in the road up from me, 
When I was trying to cross some people over, she just drove past, failed to stop!
I had a few no stoppers this afternoon.
When I finished, I met up with my friend who brings his dog for a walk in the afternoon.
He has upgraded his car to a 2013 blue Ford Fiesta.
Nice.
I am glad I haven't got my other job to go to, as I can chat more to people after my Lollipop job....now.
I got home and started on tonights meal.
Packed with lentils,mince, mushrooms,garlic, and with added rice.
Then it was off to work I go.
Big tune to start of with:
Once I was finished.
I was tired...
I took my sleep tea to bed...
Then let my hands do the talking....
Friday Feeling is back tomorrow \o/

   Looks across the fields of fun↓
Go in to do my thing...
Comes out to leave in Sexy Beast.
One big tune appeared to play...
Not long enough at 1 min and 58 seconds...
It was replayed a good 5 times...↓
Back home.
A much needed light lunch with more coffee.
Back out with the big big sunglasses.
The sun is out!
 Summer coat comes out!
I was nice and cool in the Summer coat.
I finished in one piece.
When I got home. 
The kitchen was out of the bounds. My middle son was baking cakes to take part in his son's bake off competition...
I had to give him some advice on it...
My younger brother phoned up and said the gold digging lady friend of my late dad's had been on the phone to him again. She commented that my Prodical brother has been banging his gums over me wanting a post mortem when our dad passed away.He thinks I wanted one to prove he didn't hurry my dad's passing!!!
I wanted a post mortem to see if there was a underlying health issue in why my late dad lost 10 stone in 4 years!!!! 
Still can't get into the kitchen..
Fish and Chips time!
While I went to my other job, hubby and son went to get more cake supplies...
I meanwhile had a big tune to listen to:
When I got back I "helped" my son finish off his cake.
"Cake being Served On A Table!".
Now to celebrate with a Sleep Tea.
I hope the sunshine stays tomorrow.
