Welcome to my Thursday 👅

Nice warm hug.

Brew with breakfast.

We were expecting two deliveries of things to do our DIY project with.

First up was Wickes Delivery.

Then it was the Tile delivery.

(Let's hope hubby has measured the walls properly, as don't want to run out of tiles halfway through the job!)

Then while I went off to get the newspaper.

Hubby had a tip run to do.

I noticed a car had parked on double yellow lines when I was on the way back to Sexy Beast.

I also noticed the parking ticket on its windscreen!

Now for a much deserved coffee when I got back.

We dropped son off at work.

We popped in to see my parents.

We had a good chat.
 Then onto Sainsburys.

Back home to unpack shopping.

Then it was light lunchtime.

Now to get some fresh air...

I popped to the Newspaper Shop.

I walked in with my facemask on.

The owner was on all fours looking at the bottom shelf.

"That's how I like it, my men kneeling in front of me!"I said to him, as he got up.

There was a man being served in front of me, asked me:

"Are you drunk?"

"No, only drunk on coffee!"I replied.

"You are so happy!" He said.

"I'm always happy, no point in being miserable!"

"Stay happy,"he said as he left the shop. 

I got my newspaper, and off home I went.

Now time for that much needed coffee!

First load of washing from yesterday was dried and took upstairs.

Now to use the washing machine again!

I sent another email about my parcel being delivered to the right address....
