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.

Windsor Davies  was a Welsh actor whose career in film and television spanned forty years. He is best remembered for playing Battery Sergeant Major Williams in the sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum (1974–1981) over its entire run. The show's popularity resulted in Davies and his co-star Don Estelle achieving a UK number one hit with a version of "Whispering Grass" in 1975. He later starred with Donald Sinden in Never the Twain (1981–1991), and his deep Welsh-accented voice was heard extensively in advertising voice-overs. 

He would have been 91 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 88 in 2019 

 David Soul (born David Richard Solberg) is a British-American actor and singer. He is known for his role as Detective Kenneth "Hutch" Hutchinson in the television series Starsky & Hutch from 1975 to 1979; Joshua Bolt on Here Come the Brides from 1968 to 1970; and Officer John Davis in Magnum Force in 1973. In 1977, he scored a number one hit single with "Don't Give Up on Us".

He is 78 years old 🎈 

 

Now for some Sleep Tea...

As normal we carried on watching something on Netflix, and fell asleep!

Upstairs to bed as off to visit another car boot tomorrow!

 

Enjoying The Friday Feeling!

 If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it - J.P Morgan

Welcome to my Friday Feeling 🎈

Warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

I gives hubby a wet one 😘 before he goes off to work.

Dressed.

Now for a little ride in Sexy Beast.

Some great songs to listen to....

I picks up the newspaper on the way.

Plenty of singing along....

I gets my B3 space.

Now to have a look about!

I asked someone if they had Black Eye Susan Vine plant in.

They answered,"No."

He later said,"Once they die, they don't come back the following year!"

Funny, Google says different, when I looked yesterday. I will just grow my own from seed next year!

They look nice...

I wonder how much they are?

Wow!

Now time for chat,coffee and nibble!

Had a good chat!

On the way back to the car, I saw a someone I used to work with. Last February (2020) we had a conversation about me not being happy at work.

She replied to it by saying,"Well go then!"

(I finally did this March!)

I asked a member of staff if I could have a spare wood pallet.

"No, they either get reused or sent back!"

The skip was full of them! 

Back to Sexy Beast for more singing on the way home!

Back home.

I wrote a review of the guest house we stopped in last weekend. Highlighthing the fact the lock didn't work and we had to put the chair up against the door!

Lunchtime.

Now to write yesterday's blog.

Tea at 3. 

The chicken went into the oven for tea later.

Hubby came home for a sloppy wet one 💋

Chicken was ready and now to serve it up!

Afterwards, hubby and younger son went to do the food shopping, and pop in to see if hubby's dad was alright.

I had a quick look in today's newspaper.

"Roman Holiday", starring Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, and Eddie Albert, is released on this day in 1953.

1964 Walt Disney's "Mary Poppins" directed by Robert Stevenson, starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke premieres in Los Angeles.

Hubby and younger son comes back, just in time to watch the James Bond film on ITV4.

This is my favourite Pierce Brosnan's James Bond film.

I love  Robbie's Coltrane's character!

Sleep tea time.

All ready for the Bank Holiday Weekend!
