Abraham Lincoln.
Welcome to my Tuesday fun πŸ’«
Nice big hug and brew to start the day with.
Breakfast.
Early morning wake up call for my kids.
Dressed.
I gave hubby a wet one πŸ’‹ before he left to go to work.
The kids had the same before they left for school πŸ’‹πŸ’‹.
Before I started anything.
I did a bit of walking up and down the path.
Loaded up the dishwasher and put it on.
Now for coffee....
Now to get yesterday's blog post wrote.
The playlist was shuffled and singing helped with sense of humour I need to write the blog post. 
Just 2 posts short of 2400 published blog posts! 
Trying to find that seahorse pattern.
One was $5!!!
I finally found one!
It was free!
Let's see what I can do with that!
Got in touch with my union on whether I have to change from one county to another...
Waiting for the response to it.
By time I finished writing the blog post.
I had a early lunch.
I had to click and collect some shopping from Asda.
(My son has his GCSE food assessment this Friday, so he needed more things.
He is practicing again tomorrow at home to get under the 2 hours he needs.)
Hands were washed and I wore my facemask when I collected it. I was lucky, there was only another couple there loading up their car.
I went past my late dad's house, and the driveway was still full of cars!
Back home.
Tea at 3
My magazine came, and time for a quick read of it before I start on the tea.
Another meat-free tea tonight.
Hubby came home.
He had a sloppy wet one from me.
I had a big hug in return....

We caught up with Judge Rinder.
The we caught up with the first episode of the second series of Hoarders Homes:
The episode was called: No Room to Move
We downloaded the first series.
Then we watched the first episode:
Landfill In My Living Room.
Sleep tea time.
We watched half of the second episode called:
Trapped By My Trash.
Both my parents were hoarders. 
I do hoard but not to the state of not be able to get into my house!!!
As the younger brother said last year just after our dad passed away...
"We have to clear out 50 years of crap out of the house!"
Nice as normal coming from him!
He even said of my house:
"You could fill a six bedroomed house with your crap, and still need a bigger house!" 
I won't comment on his hoarding problem just yet.....😢😢 
Let's hope we have a sunny Hump tomorrow 🐫

I have 2 and half blogs to write....
Inbetween writing them, I was trying to find a sewing pattern to make a family of seahorses that was in one of magazines that came last week!
It didn't help the pattern wasn't on the magazine's website.....
GREAT!
I had the letter finally sealing my departure from my dinnertime job \o/
 (My Christmas card list is going down faster than a ferret going down a hole!)
I'm sure another job will surface to replace it and it won't affect my stress level!
By the time dinnertime arrived, I still have Sundays blog post to write.
Oh dear the soup exploded in the microwave,
only had 1/3 of the soup left in the bowl!
Hope the day gets better....
Finally gets yesterday's blog post wrote and published.

Shopped around, and they are coming out tomorrow \o/
Amazon has a Spring sale of 40%
Got some great stuff for certain people's birthdays in June!
Tumble drier went on finally!
I carried on writing more reviews on things I bought from Amazon.
It only does a year's worth of items.....
Pity really, I have been buying stuff from them for nearly 21 years!
I will wait for the emails to arrive tomorrow when my reviews go live!
Tea at 3.

Only A Small One!

 I have my faults, but being wrong isn't one of them - Jimmy Hoffa
Welcome to my Sunday adventures πŸ‘―
We had a bit of a lie-in after last night bingewatching session.
Hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Woke up the kids.
First coffee of the morning.
Now out for a little ride...
Up the stairs we go.
Hubby tidied up his late mum's grave and added some belated flowers for Mother's day.
This is where we had our wedding photo taken.
The graveyard has all the flowers come out.
We had a walk around the graveyard.
Back down the steps we went.
We had a takeaway coffee and nibble before we left to carry on to see my parents.
Tidied up my parent's grave.
My other brothers haven't been up.
(No surprise there!)
There were some nice flower displays left for someone who died last month.
Shaped like a dart board and a playing card.
We went past my late dad's house.
Drive full of cars again.
Back home.
One of my son's has his cooking assessment next Friday.
So he practiced for it...
Looks and tastes lovely.
We had gone past lunch, 
So we had a light nibble to cover until tea.
I left feedback for 60 items on Amazon.
Then I chopped up the items I needed for tea tonight, then once done, in the oven for 20 minutes.
Everyone was getting their things ready for school and work in the meantime.
Chicken with rice, and garlic bread.
Now to have a small bingewatch.
We watched up to episode 3 of series 4.
While hubby was having a shower...
Sleep tea Time.
