Keeping The Draughts At Bay!

It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death

Welcome to my Hump of the Week🐪

The swelling is going down, but more bruises are appearing on my knee.....Strange...

I had to get comfortable on the two seater sofa during the night.

I missed our Hug with a brew.

And having our breakfast together.

Hubby got my newspaper before he went for work.

I gave him a quick sloppy wet one before he dashed out of the house to go to work.

One son couldn't escape from one either!

Our youngest one is doing his school work from home.

He had to make a flag from household items.

(He loves Geography)

Very good :)

Now for coffee...

With a quick read of the newspaper.

 Ben-Hur" directed by William Wyler and starring Charlton Heston premieres in New York City in 1959.

 (Academy Awards Best Picture 1960)

 I had a big blog post from yesterday to write...including hits from 1990...and Martin Scorsese's Birthday.....🎈

I finally finished it before lunch!

Woo hoo...

Post!

I going to have a go at making the poncho.

More needles for my Overlocker.

(I have no spare ones)

More bingewatching to do...

(While keeping the knee up)

Tea at 3.

I finished season 8.

The winner was:

Nona!

Now onto Season 9..

We are taking a break from meat tonight.

Veggie option.

I gave hubby a nice wet sloppy 💋 when he got home, and a warm hug.

I'm the only one who likes brown sauce...

We caught up with the semi-final of 

The Great British Bake Off.

The only window in the house that doesn't have a curtain or blind in it is the toilet room.

Measured the window up.

I have ordered a small curtain pole and going to make a curtain for it. The draught you get from the window is terrible.

So the plan tomorrow is to make it tomorrow just in time for the curtain pole arriving on Friday!

Going to try to fit in making a dust cover for the overlocker as well. 

Sleep Tea time↓

I hope I can enjoy the bed tonight and not the sofa!

Coffee time..

Look in the newspaper.

Martin Scorsese  is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and actor. One of the major figures of the New Hollywood era, he is widely regarded as one of the most significant and influential directors in film history. Scorsese's body of work explores themes such as Italian-American identity, Catholic concepts of guilt and redemption, faith, machismo, nihilism, crime and tribalism. Many of his films are known for their depiction of violence, and the liberal use of profanity and rock music. In 1990, he founded The Film Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to film preservation, in 2007 he founded the World Cinema Foundation and in 2017, he introduced the African Film Heritage Project.He is 78 years old 🎈

Now to finish making the top for the cheesecake....

Melted lots of dark chocolate and added Chocolate Orange pieces on the top.

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Now to catch up with Top Of The Pops from 1990!

Bought all of these records↑↓

Highest new entry was Jive Bunny.

Next week's Top of The Pops

 

Going down :(

Lunch time....

No post again today....:(

Now to put knee up for a good bingewatch of ..

I had made a Cottage Pie and it had been slowed for a few hours in the red metal pot.

We finished watching up to the semi-final of Season 8.

We will watch the semi-final of The Great British Bake Off tomorrow.

I have a quick Sleep Tea.

 

Goes to bed only for the loud snores to penetrate past my ear plugs....

I was too tired to put up the camp bed.

I just tried to make it comfortable on a two seater sofa to sleep on.....
