Marks Out Of 12!

There are two things in life I like hard and one of them is eggs - Mae West 
Welcome back to the Friday Feeling 🎈
Hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
3/4 weather forecasts says Sunny this morning.
1 said rain....
Oh well.
I gave my hubby a sloppy wet πŸ’‹ before I left.
Time to get the coat on...
(I put on the Summer one)
Tree Pic.
Turned on my lights and let's get it on!
My boss came down for a catch up on what I had been doing in the 6 weeks holidays.
Blackpool,Farnborough, and Barry Island.
Plus up coming concerts of the Manfreds and Barry Manilow.
One lorry came up the street, no intention of stopping, and I just put my lollypop stick in the middle of the road.It kept going.
It was starting to cloud over....
One customer I crossed over, shouted over the road back to me:
"Is she giving you a mark out of 10?"
I shouted back, "12/12!"
I finished in one piece.
Said goodbye to my boss.
Now home to get changed....
Puts on a nice dress.
One email popped up saying I had used their offer of £3 for 3 issues before, and they won't honour it....
They did say 6 issues for £22.99 instead.
I used there offer back in 2018.
This is the second time I have tried to subscribe to have a magazine off them.
Fine.
Now blocked them from EVER sending me any more Emails of any kind!
Now off to Webbs for a coffee.
First I pop into the shop to get my newspaper.
One look at the dress I'm wearing...
"Off to Webbs are we?"
Speaking of Webbs, I missed out on my B3 space....
Now to coffee, and chat I go...
We had a good chat, coffee and nibble.
Walking through the store...
Sign Christmas is coming...
A Tesla was parked next to Sexy Beast....
Glad it didn't park up like the last time I was here...↓
Listened to some great songs on the way home..
Back home.
Lunch.
I looked at the forecast for this afternoon.
60% chance of rain.
Part 2 of Lollipop.
No sign of rain....
I left my big coat on just in case it does rain like yesterday.
Very hot under the collar!
Cars were actually being good for once and stopping!
I finished in one piece.
The caretaker of the place I have a permit to park were having fun with parents parking their cars in the car park. One turned up, got into her Black 19 plate Range Rover, ignored the caretaker and drove off!
Nice adhesive sticker on her windscreen would make her remember not to park in there in the future!
I drove out, and the rain started again!
Put the tea in the oven for later.
Writes yesterday's blog post.
Gives hubby a wet sloppy πŸ’‹ when he comes home.
Tea is served.
