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

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.
