Blood Bath!

If you want to get rid of somebody, just tell them something for their own good - Kin Hubbard.

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪

Warm hug with a brew.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

I got the kids up for their on-line learning.

Hubby was working from home today.

I had to go for a little ride out...

I got the newspaper.

Then carried onto Morrisons.

I did the top up shopping.

I went to get a takeaway coffee, 

& 

the till stopped working....

I got a free coffee as the till was taking a lot time to load up!

Back home...

It is starting to get warmer!

Now to start the lemon meringue.

I got the pastry baked.

Now to grate the lemons...

Oh dear...

Let the bloodbath start!

The grater was so sharp it took several layers of skin off my right thumb.

Blood everywhere, I even changed to a cheese grater, the blood wouldn't stop!

I getting worried after 10 minutes, as it wouldn't stop bleeding!

15 minutes it finally stopped!

Washed everything that was covered in my lovely red blood!

Did the filling, followed by the Meringue.

I was glad for lunch!

My Valentine's order arrived.

More nice material arrived to make more facemasks with.

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Then it was Tea at 3. 

Then a quick read of today's newspaper.

I got on with making the tea.

We did our clap for Captain Tom.

Tea is now ready.

Lamb tea!

Let's see if pudding is ready!

We carried on watching season 3 of Narcos.

We only watched 2 episodes, as I wasn't feeling very well.

I took my sleep tea to bed.

I only had a sip....

I went out like a light!

 Welcome to my Tuesday 😎

Hug with a brew.

Breakfast.

I got the kids up ready for their on-line learning.

Hubby was working from home.

While he logged on,

I made full use of the King Size Bed!

Once I had a little lie-in,

Dressed.

Out for a little ride in Sexy Beast.

The Robin paid a visit to the seeds we put out.

Off out to get the newspaper....

Soon back again.

I put the last of the bread out on the bird table.

Out comes the bread maker.

The bread this time is:

Cheddar and Sun Dried Tomato.

It was smelling nice when it was baking.

I gave the kitchen a good clean down.

It looks like we have filled 2 of the 3 green recycle bins this week.

Early lunch.

Quick read of the newspaper.

Welcome to February 👅

&

Monday👅

Warm hug with a brew.

Breakfast.

I got the kids up to do their on-line learning.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he went out to work.

I meanwhile made full use of that warm king-size for a bit longer 🛏

I got up by the time I had a text message from hubby to say he got in to work.

Dressed.

Now out for a little ride.

Still cold.

Gets newspaper.

Check on my late dad's car park situation.

Back home.

I have 2 blog posts to write.

First I have the Valentine's things arrive from Amazon↓

Then my Works order arrived↓

Done the blogs.

Even done some great Disco tunes on my Twitter.

Then I had a knock at the door.

A salesman wearing a blue face mask asking for the previous occupant.

I said,"He doesn't live here no more, as I have been here for nearly 12 years."

He tried using the phone number the previous occupant had given him, but my phone didn't ring.

My thoughts were the previous occupant didn't fancy the fancy armchair this company was selling him, and decided to give them his old address. However he did put his right mobile number to them, which his daughter answered and gave them his right address.

The Salesman then left to go to the right address!

Belated lunch.

One of the books I ordered for my neighbour had arrived and I went round to give it to him.

Oh dear....

He was not happy with the shopping my younger son had been getting him......

Then he wasn't happy with the car he has given my younger son, that he hasn't cleaned it up.😶😶

The weather has been against us which hasn't helped.

Plus the battery needs charging up!

I comes back home in need of a brew after that.

I need a funny film to watch...

Here goes:

Hubby comes home with a nice sloppy 💋

Welcome to my Sunday💋

After the late night we had.

We had a bit of lie-in.

Nice brew in bed with a warm hug.

Breakfast.

We just lay in bed listening to the radio.

Loud knock on the front door.

It was my next door neighbour.

He was locked out.

Good job his son gave me a spare key!

Now to get dressed!

First a warm coffee to wake the brain.

Then out for a little ride.

We got the newspaper.

Then to test hubby's air pressure of his tyres.

The electrics were playing up on his car....

Spooky time 👻 

Gets back home.

I use up some shortcrust pastry and a jar of mincemeat. 

Blind baked the pastry.

Let it cool down.

Added the filling and back in the oven it goes.

Late lunchtime.

The tart had been baked.

I gone on with cooking tonight's tea before putting it in the oven for later.
