Big hug with brew.

One son was all loaded up with the food he needs to do his GCSE food assessement.

I give him a wet 💋 and wished him luck!

Other son left later on, he had a wet one too 💋

I went outside to feed the birds.

Then I put the breadmaker on.

Coffee time!

Added more tunes to my playlists...

Over 700 songs on one,

Over 500 on the other....

"Alexa play my playlist please!"

Now to write yesterday's blog post.

The post came early.

The card for a special friend came...↓

Plus more Prima Makes mags arrived.

I had the paperwork to transfer to another Unison branch....

Bread was ready.

Just in time for lunch!

I put on the dishwasher back on afterwards.

Trying to track down the remaining issues of Prima Makes magazines.

I found issues 17 and 20.

I just needed 9-12 issues....

I like missions.....especially impossibles ones...

Tea at 3 

I pan fried the pork chops.

Then added stuffing on top.

Then into the oven to cook for later.

Son came home.

His food assessment went well.

The teacher enjoyed a slice of it.

He brought the rest home for pudding later.

I had drop off Sexy Beast for its MOT on Monday.

I dropped it off, and wasn't going to wait for half an hour in the cold. So I started to walk and bumped into an old friend who was walking down to the local Aldi's.

I actually reached my lollipop spot.

I texted my hubby on where to pick me up.

Hubby picked me up.

We went past my dad's house and the drive was still filled up with cars!

Back home.

Empty space greets me where Sexy Beast normally parks.

Dished up the tea.

We caught up with Judge Rinder.

Then to read today's newspaper.
