The Hall is giving out the Covid vaccine jobs again today. I got a parking space.
Nice start to the day🌞
I took a picture of the tree while I was waiting to turn on my lights..
There was a lot of traffic for a Friday.
One BMW was going to stop for me, then at the last minute, she put her foot down and carried on!
Whatever!
I finished in one piece.
I got home to get ready to get to the other job.
But must not forget to have coffee!
Takes my Henry Hoover with a shorter hose.
Opens up and gets to work.
When I finished, I had a much needed coffee in the garden with the dog.
 Loaded up Sexy Beast with my Henry.
Filled up with fuel on the way home.
I had a lovely salad for lunch.
Then back out for the final shift of lollipop 🍭
Summer coat went back on.
Nice to sit on the bench to get some Vitamin D.
I starts. There is a lot of traffic, and some don't want to stop either though they are not going anywhere!
Once finished, 
I gets home.
 A belated tea at 3.
Not to warm but just right temperature.
Puts on oven for the tea.
Now to have some big tunes for on the way to work...↓
The man in the car, had parked over a bit more.
I loaded up my MULE and off to start work.
At least the sun is shining outside↓
My supervisor wasn't in neither the other couple to clean.
I borrowed my Supervisor's vacuum and did my bit of hoovering.
Finished on time and back home I go.
The moon is already out!
Tea time.
One of the councillors for my area had come round to see me earlier and gave my hubby a leaflet of the person trying to be a councillor.
(The job I went for and failed!)
Quick look in today's newspaper.
Roy  Orbison was an American singer, songwriter, and musician known for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. His music was described by critics as operatic, earning him the nicknames "the Caruso of Rock" and "the Big O". Many of Orbison's songs conveyed vulnerability at a time when most male rock-and-roll performers chose to project defiant masculinity. He was known for his shyness and stage fright, which he countered by wearing dark sunglasses.
He would have been 85 years old 🎈
He sadly died aged 52 in 1988.
Lee Majors (born Harvey Lee Yeary) is an American actor. Majors portrayed the characters of Heath Barkley in the American television Western series The Big Valley (1965–1969), Colonel Steve Austin in the American television science fiction action series The Six Million Dollar Man (1973–1978), and Colt Seavers in American television action series The Fall Guy (1981–1986). 
He is 82 years old 🎈 

John Miles (Born John Errington in Jarrow, County Durham, England) is a British rock music vocalist, songwriter, guitarist and keyboard player, best known for his 1976 Top 3 UK hit single, "Music". He won the "Outstanding Musical Achievement" award at the 2017 Progressive Music Awards.

While my hair dries,
I have a coffee...
Then it was to catch up with the blog post from yesterday.
Barry's daughter phoned me to tell me about her dad's funeral next week.
I couldn't go because it clashes with my Lollipop job :(
We were talking about her dad and my dad and lots of happy memories together.
He is being cremated, and they are having his ashes.
My shorter hose for my Henry arrived!
Lunchtime.
Then it's back out with the big ones on..
It was nice to soak up the rays while waiting.
Blue Sky Feeling...
Ready to stand on my spot..

I finished in one piece.
Back home for a much needed coffee!

Fancy A Picture?

Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act - Truman Capote 
 Welcome to my Hump of the week🐫
I had a much needed hug and brew to start the day!
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Got the kids up for school.
Gave everyone wet sloppy 💋💋💋.
No big big sunglasses as the sun was hiding behind the clouds.
It was still cold with the breeze.
Takes a picture of the tree while waiting to turn on my lights.
I wore my summer coat.
(I had my thermals on underneath the next 3 layers!)
My winter hat,
My gloves.
The only thing I forgot was my scarf!
My boss came down to see how I was doing.
She said I was brave wearing the summer coat.
I did tell her I have thermals on underneath!
She was happy and left me to do the final 10 minutes on my own. 
Once I finished.
I had to nip into Lidl for supplies.
I parked in the car park....
STALKER ALERT!
A man parked opposite had the eyes for me.
Watching everything I was doing.
I thought 
"Fancy a Picture?
It will last longer!"
I walked straight over to him.....
The very last minutes I veered left and carried on into Lidl.
I got all the bits I needed.
The Stalker had left by the time I got back to Sexy Beast. 
I goes and gets my neighbour's mag and my newspaper.
Still two cars of my brother parked on my dad's drive.
(Won't be long now until he has to move them!)
Gets back home.
Once I have the first coffee of the day.
I read our local newspaper on-line.
The man who was my late dad's best man at his wedding has passed away.
He gave a speech at my dad's funeral last March.
I will get a card for his family from us.
I had washed all the cloths from the past 2 days.
Time to hang them on the line! 
I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Just finished in time for lunch.
Someone posted some leaflets through the letterbox.
Whoever delivered them were parked over my driveway!!!
This is the first time in years the Tory party has posted anything through our door....
Pity it's gone in the recycle bin...
My tabards I ordered had arrived.
It is still a bit chilly...
When I left to go to do the afternoon Lollipop Job.
One white van stopped at the top of the road.
Another van was reversing down, not looking in his left mirror, I had to go on the pavement or he would have hit me!!!!
The winter hat goes back on, the jumper stops on under the Summer Coat.....
The breeze is making it feel really cold.
My good friend turned up and we had a good catch up afterwards.
Back home to put the tea in the oven.
Quick look in today's newspaper.
Now to wear one of the new tabards.
Nice cosy fit, fits all my gloves, facemasks, car keys, phone and a can of air freshener. 
Still having no vacuum cleaner this week at work
I will have to take my Henry Hoover to the house clean on Friday..... 
Now to avoid the traffic...
Off to work I go.
 I sorts all I need to do my shift.
I signs in.
Getting postive feedback on using the Toilet Duck!
No sign of the Supervisor again.
(ill, holiday or left????)
I did the whole hog of cleaning the toilets.
Mirrors cleaned, checked for empty toilet rolls, and cleaning the sets of toilets.
Finished on time.
Back home.
Tea time!
I checked the weather for tomorrow...
Big big sunglasses time :)
Hubby doesn't want me to take the Sunday 8 hours cleaning job...
If things get worst, I will have no choice and do it!
Sleep Tea in bed.
Glad to see the sun back tomorrow 😎
