Adding His Name To The List!

 I'm too old for a paper round, too young for social security and too tired for an affair - Erma Bombeck
Welcome aboard on my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Warm hug to start Monday with.
Breakfast.
Opened the curtains....
Dressed.
Checked the weather, the rain is coming in, in the afternoon.
No sexy lumo trousers to wear \o/
I gives hubby a sloppy wet 😘 before I left.
Once I had zipped up my coat, I was asked to move my car, over to a bit, as the centre was being used to give Booster Covid jabs.
Moved Sexy Beast over a bit. 
Turned my lights on.
Now for the fun to start...🍭
It didn't help there was 2 piles of dog poo near when I stand.
So it was poo watch, to alert people not to step in too it!
Also it's be careful of the older people driving to get their booster jabs.
Some seem to forget they have to stop when I'm in the middle of the road!
One car on the other side of the road had to slam its brakes on or face a tap and crack to their windscreen!
The sun came out!
I noticed more and more drivers are still using their mobile phones. One sat on his, and causing a backlog of cars, as I had gone back on the pavement!
I finished in one piece.
I got the newspaper on the way home.
Coffee machine went on.
Now to get some jobs done around the house!
Once they were done....
Coffee time!
I wrote yesterday's blog.
Finally got my Amazon delivery delivered!
As they couldn't find me yesterday!
Lunchtime.
As normal the rain came in.
On goes the sexy lumo trousers...
I parked elsewhere, as the centre was full of cars. My two friends appeared for a chat before I started the afternoon shift.
We were joined by someone I had yet to meet.
(And afterwards, I never want to meet again)
"I want your job,"He said.
"I will add you to that long list that wants my job!" I replied.
"It's good pay and you get paid for school holiday,"He said.
"It is, but the added danger of getting hit by a car," I replied.
It didn't help him taking the piss out of one of my friends either.
On and on he went. I was glad when he did leave. He was trying to be funny, but he failed as I was concerned! 
I said goodbye to my two friends.
I was glad to start my shift. 
Sunshine, and rain.
One red car behind me, tried to old trick of moving forward to drive around my hand, until I moved near the pavement!
I was glad to finish in one piece!
Back to Sexy Beast...
Back home.
Nice cup of tea was needed!
I caught up with some of the newspapers from the weekend....
Now to get on with my Stir-Fry....
Washing machine has been well busy.
2 more bags of baby clothes.
I finished reading the weekend newspapers.
I pre-ordered the new Joan Collins's book.
I read a bit of it, and it looks so interesting!
Now to look in today's newspaper.

Hubby didn't have a good time with his new snooker cue.

Plus he came home in the rain....
I kept the bed warm for him.....

Finally Got It Emptied!

 You can stop almost anything from functioning by hitting it with a large rock - Russell Bell

 Welcome to my Sunday 📦📦
It was nice to have a warm hug to start Sunday with.
Breakfast with a brew.
Opened the curtains.....
Hubby and one son went to have their hair cuts.
While I did various jobs around the house.
The coffee machine was put on, just in time for hubby to come back!
Back to sorting out of the loft.
One big pile for the tip in the back garden.
The big pile for the storage unit.
First trip was to the storage unit...
When hubby came back, we loaded up the car for a tip run.
Lunch when he came back with an empty car!
Then we took time out to collect a magic bag and some free food from Olio.
Checked the tyre pressures on Sexy Beast.
We had the red light fun in Morrisons...
Picked up the Magic Bag on the way out.
Then off to see mum and dad.
Back home in the rain.
Free from Olio.
Some of the things from today's Magic Bag, are going to my Father-in-law tomorrow.
Back to finishing off the loft.
One final trip to the storage unit...
Then a final trip to the tip.
The carpets in the loft will be took down on Tuesday.
The washing machine has been busy today.
I was hoping to do some sewing with my sewing machine this week...
Gets out the sewing machine and the power lead is no where to been seen!!!
FFS!!
Had to order another one off Amazon....]
Good job it wasn't the foot pedal!
Tea is served.
While I was catching up with the blog.
I was watching from afar the second episode of the 20th series of Hell's Kitchen.
Then 9 weeks of Top of The Pops.
One song which they played, I enjoyed and sung along with it....
Bryan Adams was still number 1 with a great song....
He had another entry with a new great song as well...
Sleep Tea time!
Quick look in the newspaper before bed.
 
Eddie Cochran  was an American rock and roll musician. Cochran's songs, such as "Twenty Flight Rock", "Summertime Blues", "C'mon Everybody", and "Somethin' Else", captured teenage frustration and desire in the mid-1950s and early 1960s. He experimented with multitrack recording, distortion techniques, and overdubbing even on his earliest singles. He played the guitar, piano, bass, and drums. His image as a sharply dressed and attractive young man with a rebellious attitude epitomized the stance of the 1950s rocker, and in death he achieved iconic status.
He would have been 83 years old 🎈
He sadly died aged 21 in 1960.
Chubby Checker (born Ernest Evans) is an American rock and roll singer and dancer. He is widely known for popularizing many dance styles, including The Twist dance style, with his 1960 hit cover of Hank Ballard & The Midnighters' R&B song "The Twist", and the Pony dance style with the 1961 cover of the song "Pony Time". However, his best-known song is the hit "Let's Twist Again", released in the same year; he also popularized in 1962 the song "Limbo Rock", originally a previous year instrumental hit by the Champs to whom he added lyrics, and its trademark Limbo dance, as well as others dance styles such as The Fly. In September 2008, "The Twist" topped Billboard's list of the most popular singles to have appeared in the Hot 100 since its debut in 1960, an honor it maintained for an August 2013 update of the list.
He is 80 years old 🎈 
Back on the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow 🍭
