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 💋
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.

Welcome to my Saturday 👯
Brew with hug.
Breakfast.
The helicoper had returned.
We went back to bed to enjoy the warm duvet cover.
Now to get up,
Dressed.
Out of the house for some fresh air!
We paid a visit to my parent's grave.
The gravestone behind my parents, was returned and filled the details of the man I chattered last March before the first lockdown.
Then off to pick up some shopping.
I sat in the car while we waited.
Hubby loaded the shopping in the boot and off we went back home.
We put the shopping away.
One of my kids found a 48 year old picture of me with my late dad :)
