Welcome to my Hump of the Week๐Ÿซ
Hoping no more rain or wind today...
I was up too early for a Wednesday↓

Once the alarm went off,
I went to give Sleeping Beauty a much deserved hug...
Once I got dressed.

Gave my kids sloppy ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ’‹
Now out of the door I go↓
 It was still nice and dark when I got down there.
 The tree shot before I turned on the lights↑
While I was doing my lollipop job,
An ex-postman drove up by the side of me, slid down his passenger window,
"What are you going to do with lollipop stick?" He asked.
I put my lollipop stick through the open window, and replied to him.
"Get you to lick it!".
He laughed, I removed my lollipop, and he drove off.
Still have cars failing to stop.
At least I had no rain or wind to put up with...
I finished in one piece.
Gets home..
 
 I enjoyed coffee and nibble↓
 Followed by a light lunch↓
 Blew my hubby a ๐Ÿ’‹

Not to worry, he carried on past me.....
