No Fuel, But There's Plenty Of Food!

 Always buy a good pair of shoes and a good bed, because if you're not in one, you're in the other - Joan Collins 
Welcome to my Saturday ⌛
I didn't get up early today like any other Saturday, when I wake up at 6am!
I will catch up with Sounds of the 60s during the week on catch up.
Nice to have a warm hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Hubby is having his flu jab this morning.
Now to leave the house
Making the most of the nice weather!
The scandals come out!
First we drop off son at his work place.
Then onto town we go.
We parks in Car Park 4, as 
Car Park 7 has been knocked down!
Onto Boots for hubby's flu jab.
Once that was done, we bought the newspaper and a coffee to go.
Back home to start back on emptying the loft.
We had lunch halfway through sorting through boxes. There is a nice big pile to go to the tip tomorrow morning.
Hubby done one trip to the Storage unit with son.
When he got back, we had tea.
Then it's on the search for hubby to get some Diesel for his car.
We managed to get some from Morrisons.Then the queues started to form.
I got my first Magic Bags of the evening from Morrisons in Astwood Bank.
The staff in the Petrol Station had not experienced the demand for petrol before.
They had run out of diesel and running low on unleaded.
Told them to write a funny message and leave it out for the car drivers when they run out of unleaded!
Then onto M&S which is also a Petrol Station.
They had run out of fuel except food.
I got my Magic Bag.
Moved onto Waitrose on the motorway services.
Not a lot of queues at that petrol station.
Got my Magic Bag.
Now back home to unpack them all!
Then we watched...
Then I looked into today's newspaper.

Nice Warm Friday Feeling!

You don't have to be mad to work here, but it helps - Anon
Welcome to join in with my Friday Feeling 🎈
Nice to enjoy a warm hug
with a hot brew.
Breakfast.
Opened the curtains...
Nice sunny day ahead...
Dressed.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet 😘 before I go.
The place where I normally park wasn't open.
I parked in the nearby car park.
I put my jacket on under my Summer Coat.
Now for the Friday fun...🍭
I kept hearing Agadoo 
My phone kept ringing....
It was ex-plum.....
(As I'm on duty, I'm not allowed to answer my phone!)
I stopped the brown car that thought it was funny to try and run me over a few afternoons again.Didn't find it funny.
Then on the return leg, she got stopped again.
Some cars were going too fast, and when my stick gets lowered, the brakes have to been slammed on!
I finished in one piece.
I answered Ex-Plum with a text message with OK.
Now to get to Webbs...
I go through Hanbury....
I missed my B3 space...
Meets up with my friend for coffee,nibble and yak!
Then it's time to look around...
Christmas is coming....↑↑↑
Back to Sexy Beast....
Said goodbye to my friend.
I went past Bromsgrove Morrison's petrol station, there was a massive queue for petrol.....
I remember back in 2000 when it was like that........
Back home.
Light lunch.
My son dressed as Where is Wally comes back with some of the cake he made.
All his 6th Form Year gave him an applause when he got into school for dressing up as Where is Wally.
Now for me to leave....

On goes the Summer coat.
I get a ice lolly.
Then I put on my lights.
I collect my lollipop stick,
And enjoys the sunshine.
Now to start the afternoon shift...🍭
It wasn't as bad as last Friday afternoon, not by a long shot. Still cars braking the last minute when I either lower the stick down, or I stood in the middle of the road!
I finished in one piece.
Back home. 
I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Hubby came back with some Fish and Chips with Curry sauce!
I gave him a sloppy wet 💋
Hubby dropped off one son at his football, then carried on to the shopping with our other son.
I meanwhile had some newspaper reading to catch up with!
Gerry Marsden MBE  was an English singer-songwriter, musician and television personality, best known for being leader of the Merseybeat band Gerry and the Pacemakers. He was the younger brother of fellow band member Freddie Marsden.
Gerry and the Pacemakers had the distinction of being the first act to have their first three recordings go to number 1 in the UK charts. Although they never had a number 1 in the United States, they were the second-most successful group from Liverpool, after the Beatles, to have hits on the United States pop charts. Their 1965 musical film Ferry Cross the Mersey was co-written by Tony Warren. 
He would have been 79 years old🎈 
He died in 2021 aged 78 years old.
Gordon Clapp  is an American actor, best known for portraying the role of Det. Greg Medavoy for all 12 seasons on the television series NYPD Blue, winning an Emmy Award in 1998.

The moon is still bright...
Sleep tea time.
