More always means worse - Kingsley Amis

 Welcome to my Sunday 💗

Warm hug with brew.

I jumped into the hot shower before breakfast.

Dressed.

Breakfast.

Now out early before the rush starts...

We go again to Stratford Car Boot.

There is only about 12 car booters here.

I made full use of the man selling plants.

Had a little yak like you have to!

I got some bargains!

Loads up the car.

Someone was giving away free pallet on Facebook market place.

Went to see it and try and get it in the car!

No such luck!

It was too big!!!

Grrrrrrrrr

Off to town for hubby to pick up his new glasses.

Parks in Car Park 4.

He picks up his new glasses.

Then we go and have a look about.

Then off to enjoy some coffee!

Bought some rubble bags.

Now off to see my mum and dad.

I had a chat.

Then off home to unload the plants we bought earlier...

Then out in Sexy Beast.

Checks the tyres.

Fills up.

Now to visit the garden centre for bits and pieces.

Once loaded up Sexy Beast.

It was dinner time! 

Yum!

Now back home to unload Sexy Beast! 

Unloaded the car.

Kids had filled the rubble bags up with old wood and branches from the trees, hubby had cut off.

Now Hubby and younger son loaded up his car, and took the all the rubble bags off to the Household tip.

I meanwhile had watered the plants in the garden!

When he got back, we had a little ride to get some Lucky bags from Droitwich!

That was tea sorted.

Now the 3 to 2 plug adapter had arrived.

Now to see if the Singer Sewing Machine from 1938 actually works!

At least the light works!

Now to move the lever....

It works!

Woo hoo!

I will have some fun trying it again!

Puts it back in it's case.

Time for a quick look in the newspaper.

Looking In The Mirror!

There is no such as a little garlic - Arthur Baer

Welcome to my Saturday 👍

I woke up at 5.50am.

I got up and made a brew.

I listened to "The Sounds of the 60s" while writing yesterday's blog post. 

Sleeping Beauty woke up and we enjoyed breakfast.

Then to wake up son to drop him off at his work.

Dressed.

 It was my hubby's late mum's 81st Birthday today.

(She passed away 26 years ago)

Then out!

Drops off son.

Then off to Stratford Car Boot.

We had to park in the overspill car park.

Spot the Eastenders Characters!

Now to look around....

Here is the conversation I overheard...

Buyer: The view is not nice in this mirror..

Seller: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Buyer:I'm interested in this mirror

Seller:Give me an offer for it

Buyer: There is a bit missing of the mirror, no thanks, and he put the mirror down!

I found another Black eyed Susan vine.

Red flowers on it.

It was only £2.50!

Bargain!

Another look around.

I went past a old Singer Sewing Machine...

It looked good...

Bit the hand's man off for how much it was.

It was heavy, hubby had to swap hands taking it back to the car!

The boot full.

Now off to visit Alcester.

There was no price on anything....

I got a card and balloons for my friend who is 70 today. 

We enjoyed a fishcake and chips lunch.

Now to deliver the balloons and card!

He wasn't in, so I tied the balloons to the door handle.

(I'm sure he will be pleased when he came back!)

Back home to unpack the car 

&

Have a much needed coffee!

Here is a pictures of before my house and garden looked like 12 years ago, and now.

Now out to get a lucky bag from Morrisons.

Then for tea. 

Yummy.

Quick look into today's newspaper.
