Trying To Get It In!

 "It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble." ~ Epicurus

 

Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Hubby was having half a day off to help bring in the sofa we are having delivered.

But first, hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Got one son up for school.

Dressed.

Next to give out sloppy wet 💋💋💋 .

It was feeling a bit cold, so I had a lightweight jacket under my Summer coat.

Tree shot↑↑

Several cars failed to stop, they just went under my stick, like I wasn't there!

No lambo this morning.....

(Must be in the garage)

At least the sun is starting to come out!

I finished in one piece.

Now fun to deal with the sofa being delivered!

The sofa came, then there were problems.

Hubby pulled his back out trying to lift it.

Couldn't fit the sofa through the archway.

Over the fence it went instead.

The younger son and me then tried to get it through the front door!

Finally got it in!

We put the yellow covers back over it...

Much needed coffee time!

Then to drop off some clothes at the recycle bin at Sainsburys.

Then to see if any brother has left anything on my dad's grave for Father's Day 🎈

Younger brother added some Xmas red berries, red flower and two other fake flowers to the grave. He did put up against the bench a fake orchid plant, which I moved to the grave and is on show.

I will order the 80th Birthday balloons for my dad's birthday later on today.

Get's back home.

Gave hubby a big sloppy 💋 as he went back to work.

I meanwhile have to put all the pictures back up on the hall wall!

I had a email from the Cleaning Firm,

I am having my tax refunded in this month's wages \o/

Then light lunch afterwards.

Back out for the afternoon session.

A couple of car drivers, totally ignored my big stick when I was walking out into the road.

They carried on going.....(on the other side of the road)

I was glad I bought a cold drink with me, as it was well warm!

My friend appeared with his dog and we had a good chat up to 4pm.

Back home for me.

I had some making up the time with some reading of the newspapers.

As I had a bit of me-time, I started to read from May 24th upwards.

One interesting bit about an alarm clock↓

I had my tea made by one of sons...

Nice bit of Stir Fry.

I just finished reading the last newspaper when hubby came home from visiting his dad.

All went in the recycle bin.

Quick catch up of today's events....

The sofa feels really nice to sit on.....

We didn't stop long in the living room, as the temperatures were dropping, and we needed to get under that 16 tog duvet! 

 




 

 

 

Cheers Dad!

Father's Day

I got up early and made breakfast for my hubby!

This is the second Father's Day since I lost my lovely dad :(

Dressed.

Now out to check Sexy Beast's tyre pressures.

Now to change over cars.

Tested hubby's car tyre pressures and fill up for the week with fuel.

Then we all get ready to go out for a meal with hubby's dad.

Picks up his dad. 

Then the fun starts...

Goes through Bewdley,

One tells hubby to go this way, and we end up going the other way to the pub....

At least we got there just in time!

Dads's pic.

Soft drink for me.

Beef dinner for me.

Then puddings...

I had the chocolate cake with cream.

Now to say "Cheers to my dad!"

It didn't even touch the sides when it went down!

We dropped off hubby's dad afterwards.

I snoozed on the way back.

Now to make way for the sofa we are having tomorrow.

Everything in the hall had to be took off the wall.

Kids had to fun trying to take the old sofa out the living room. It got stuck getting through the back door. Two legs had to be sorn off....

Now to hoover up the space where the sofa once was.

Then we had a light tea.

Then got things ready for getting on the Wobbly Work Wheel tomorrow 🎡

 

I Only Went In To Get One Plant!

 Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before  -  Mae West.

Welcome to my busy Saturday ⚘

I got bit later than we normally get up during the week.

We caught the last hour of Sound of the 60s.

Brew with Breakfast followed.

Dressed.

Then to take son to work.

We popped into  Omega for a chat and a coffee.

We nipped into Boomarang and got two bargains.

One ideal present for hubby's dad who likes Blackpool.

We blew up the balloons to put on my dad's grave for Father's Day.

(It will be a nice surprise for brother's went they come up tomorrow to see him!)

Puts them on my dad's grave.

All ready for tomorrow.

At least it brightens up the grave yard!

Back home for a light lunch in the garden.

Then we went to pick up our son from work.

We carried onto Homebase in Bromsgrove.

Compost, reduced plants and pots....

Loads of bargains.

I told one woman while we were pushing the trollies back to the car;

"I only went into the store to get one plant!"

As the kids and hubby loaded up his car full of plants. I carried on talking and they went home to unload the car.

I was still talking when he came back.

(Nearly an hour later, I said goodbye to the woman, who I had never met until today!)

Off to Aldi to get a drink, my throat was all dry from all that talking!

Anyone fancy a mince pie in June?

Nice drink and nibble↓

We got home to unload our bargains.

Next to visit Co-Op for some more bargains.

Lots of things I can cook with on the reduced stand.

Back home to unpack.

Now to use some of the compost up to replant the plants I bought earlier....

Time to use those Diffusers I bought from Aldi↓

Now for a nice bit of tea.

Now to catch up with 4 weeks of Top of The Pops from 1991.
