Using Your Foot Instead Of Your Hand!

When you have nothing to say, sing it - David Ogilvy
Welcome aboard to my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎑
Nice big warm hug to start Monday with.
Brew with Breakfast.
On goes that Thermal Vest!
Gets dressed.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet πŸ’‹
Now to leave the house...
I couldn't park where I normally park, as there are Covid-19 Boosters being done there.
Got my winter hat, gloves and coat on.
I turned on my lights.
Now to do this....
Oh dear, people not stopping again.
One car driver on the otherside of the road, put his hand up when he failed to stop.
He could have used his foot to stop instead of using his hand to wave at me!
One parent is dicing with death, she is dragging her daughter over the road and not crossing over with me.
I said to a parent, I was crossing over and witnessing it:
"If everyone does that, I will be out of a job!"
It might be cold, but at least it's dry!
Finished in one piece.
I got the newspaper on the way home.
I put on the coffee machine.
I am going to repot all my house plants this morning, and touchwood have time to go on my spin bike.....
Time was going so quickly.
Had a quick coffee.
Back to the repotting....
I finally finished at lunchtime!
Now for some lunch!
Back out for part two.
On goes winter hat, winter gloves and winter coat.
It just started to rain after I put on my lights.
I was talking to my 2 friends up to the time I started my shift.
Where has this rain come from?
The weather forecast said last night, it was due after 4pm!
I might have to attach a blue light on my hat, as car drivers were still not stopping even with my stick up in the air.
Plus this light rain didn't help.
I was glad I finished in one piece.
Home time.
Now for a much needed brew!
Now to try to get 4 blog posts wrote.
I made a Meat-Free Stir Fry just after writing one blog post.
I got as far as writing 2 1/2 blog posts.
Hubby's team won at snooker 3-2.
I had a quick look in the newspaper.
Robert Strauss  was an American actor. He became most familiar in Hollywood films of the 1950s such as Stalag 17 (1953), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. 
He would have been 108 years old 🎈
He sadly died aged 61 in 1975 
Roy Wood  is an English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was particularly successful in the 1960s and 1970s as member and co-founder of the Move, Electric Light Orchestra and Wizzard. As a songwriter, he contributed a number of hits to the repertoire of these bands. Altogether he had more than 20 singles in the UK Singles Chart under various guises, including three UK No. 1 hits.
The BBC has described Wood as being "responsible for some of the most memorable sounds of the Seventies" and "credited as playing a major role in the glam rock, psychedelic and prog rock movements". In 2008, Wood was awarded an honorary doctorate for his contribution to rock and pop by the University of Derby. In 2015, his long and eclectic career was recognised with the "Outer Limits" award at the Progressive Music Awards in London.
Wood was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 as a member of Electric Light Orchestra.
He is 75 years old 🎈 
 
Quick Sleep Tea before I head off to keep the bed warm...

You Know You Want It!

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it - J.P Morgan
 Welcome to my Sunday 🎊
No lie-in this morning...
Hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Collects the shopping trolley and tickets for the show, and off we go.
Parks in the car park near the hall we are going to visit.
Someone is already in the Christmas Mood...
Show both of my Covid Vaccine cards.
I was given a orange wristband.
Now off to the show...
We have another wristband for being VIP.
We go off to the VIP stand for a coffee and nibble.
They didn't have the blue milk which I have, as green milk doesn't do my stomach much good.
I had to choose between soya or green milk...
Wish I had bought my own milk now...
Now to look around the show.
£10 for half a metre.
I asked "If he was on-line?"
"Nope," He said.
I carried on looking, further up the aisle, was some lovely fabric. Bargain price.
I found a Janome sewing machine I was interested in.
There was already £100 off it on the internet.
They wouldn't knock anymore off because they were at the show.
I carried on round to the Brother Sewing Machine instead.
They had the sewing machine I was looking for.
Only £180 cheaper then the Janome.
 Plus a £150 Quilting Kit was thrown in as well.
The only problem was DPD was going to deliver it....
"I sure you won't have no problems with the delivery with DPD",The Salesman said.
"You will be the first one to find out if I do have problems with the delivery!" I laughed.
We looked around the  Simply Christmas event, and couldn't wait to leave.....
We went to look around the Cake International Event.
I did put a cake in back in 2013...
Shaun the Sheep and Friends in Halloween Costumes.
Now for more pictures of cake...
Back to get our final coffee with a bit of cake.
 Once eaten.
Playtime...
 We walked back to the car.
I was so glad of some fresh air!
Once we got back, I unpacked the trolley.
Now for some much needed lunch.
Out again to check the tyre pressures of Sexy Beast.
Once that was done, I covered up Sexy Beast.
The tumble drier went on, after the washing machine had been on twice.
Showers were taken by everyone.
Hubby put the tea in the oven.
Now two more episodes left of Narcos:Mexico series 3.
We finished the whole series by 10pm!
Sleep Tea time.
Back on that Wobbly Work Wheel🎑
