Good Friday

Welcome to my Friday Feeling 🎈

Hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Out to get the newspaper early in Sexy Beast.

Easy to park then yesterday.

Wished everyone a Happy Easter in the shop.

Still 4 cars parked in my late dad's drive when I went past.

Filled up Sexy Beast with petrol.

Went to get a take away coffee.

Gets back to Sexy Beast only finds a car parked really close to my driver's door...

The whole car park to park in and they have park next to me! 

Five minutes later on the way home.

One white van pulls out of a junction straight in front of me...

(Good job I was under 30 mph)

I gave him a good blast of the horn..

He tried to blast his horn at me...

However mine was louder!

Finally back home in one piece!

Now to enjoy the Coffee and nibble.

Quick look in the newspaper as well.

Edwin Starr (born Charles Edwin Hatcher) was an American singer and songwriter. Starr was famous for his Norman Whitfield-produced Motown singles of the 1970s, most notably the number-one hit "War".

Starr was born in Nashville and raised in Ohio, and later lived in Detroit while singing for Ric-Tic and Motown Records. He was backed by the band that would become known as "Black Merda". Hawkins and Veasey of the group played on most of his early hits on the Ric Tic Label. Starr's songs "25 Miles" and "Stop the War Now" were also major successes, in 1969 and 1971 respectively. In the 1970s Starr's base shifted to the United Kingdom, where he continued to produce music, and resided until his death.

He sadly died on this day in 2003 aged 61

Now to sort out the rest of the sideboard and the things on the shelf.

Moved all the things out of the way....

Made room in the sideboard and on wooden shelving unit.

Now to put all of the boxes back.....

Now for a deserved lunch!

Then to sort out the Welsh dresser.

Made plenty of space.

Tea at 3 time.

I started doing the tea as kids are helping out friend delivering leaflets.

Tea served up early.

Pork Chops Roast Dinner.

Hubby dropped kids off to deliver the leaflets.

We caught up on 

We watched 3 of them↑

Next up was the new series of

"Dragon's Den".

I have nearly finished my Pom Pom wreath.

However I have nearly run out the wool I need.

I had got the wool about 3 years ago from Pershore market↓

As normal I only bought 2 balls of wool and now I need more!

Searches through Google and actually finds the same balls of wool!

Ordered 3 more......as I tend to find...one ball is never enough!

Hubby is still feeling the effects of his jab from yesterday.

He has a lemsip.

I have my normal sleep tea.

Too Much TNT!

Welcome to my Thursday 👺

Warm hug and brew.

Breakfast.

Hubby had to leave early as he was having his Covid vaccine this morning.

Gave him a wet sloppy 💋 before he left.

I woke the kids up ready for school.

I got dressed and ready to sew up my son's pocket on his coat!

When I finished, he didn't want to wear his coat, even though the weather is turning from warm to bloody cold!

Gave my kids sloppy wet 💋💋 before they left.

I added more recycling to the green bins before they were emptied.

Fed the birds outside.

Now first day of freedom!

My turn to get the newspaper!

I just turned out of my road, a great big TNT lorry wasn't stopping, I had to resort to parking on the pavement or I would have been hit!

No parking spaces outside the shop either!

One car blocked in a van that was trying to get off the parking space in front of the shop.

I said my hellos to everyone in the shop, and was glad to see everyone.

I went past my dad's house, it was still looking like a public car park.

On the way back home, the same TNT lorry was trying to get out of my road. As there was cars parked also at the start of the road, the space to try to squeeze past the lorry was tight. The TNT lorry driver got out of his cab and said to me, "You can get through the space!"

Looking at the marks on side of the lorry, he has squeezed through some spaces and took paint off some vehicles!

I just got through the space, without touching the black BMW parked on my left and the lorry on my right.

I was glad to get home! 

I was glad of the a much needed coffee!

Now to write yesterday's blog post.

Still no luck on how the house sale of my late dad's house is going, no one telling me anything :(

Finally get to lunch. 

Next to declutter is the draws of my late parent's sideboard. The other half will be done tomorrow with hubby.

2 black bags of stuff later....

I finally found a photo of my late mum I had been looking for.

It was took back in 2000 when we were flying out for a holiday in Benidorm.

My mum passed away in 2013 :'(

Tea at 3.

I had a little play with Henry...

Hubby came home, he was feeling fine after having his jab....

Funny when they want something signed, they get in contact with me!

Time to dish up the food!

Slowed cooked chicken with vegetables.

While getting ready, the younger son caught his pocket of his coat on the bannister.
