5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Vjm - am outside Church, rocking choir concert shortly, but so pleased to see you sending FAFL to you, mhags

It was exactly in my mind to do same, so consider yourself bookended and thus commanded :-))).

Back later. Peeps are piling in....

* survived two months of waiting for kitchen counters. Still have the hair on my head. They are finally in and very beautiful. Plumber to come on Monday (or so he says) and we will have water in the kitchen once again. 5 months folks!

* survived two doctors and one physician's assistant who ignored me telling them my right eye was worse after cataract surgery. Finally the third doctor listened and said 1% of patients get cystoid macular edema. He tested me and I was one of the 1%. He has started me on a regimen of three different drops four time a day. Bless him!

* keeping my cool and being kind to the lady I wanted to scream at yesterday. Progress can happen at any age.

* tea with a splog, er splat, maybe splash of milk. Can't remember what BoP calls the proper amount of milk for proper tea. Splosh?

* surviving Trump's first 100 days without going to war. Now for the next 3 3/4 years. :eek:

Haven't posted this week. Having problems with shoulder pain - happens very occasionally and is hard to deal with - it also means my back is worse.
Managed to work and been agreed to change where I work next week so I don't have to drive !!! Agreed as I said I can't change gear and so would have to be off sick!
Enough of that and now for positives.

1. Had a great time watching rugby last night. A good win and enjoyed the game. Good send off for Evans and Dickson as last home match. Enjoyable company and all around us renewing season tickets. Hopefully next season we can watch more matches like last night rather than some of the lacklustre ones we have been subjected to.

2. Two men, who were digging the road up for the water company, knocked on the door with three baby geese in a bucket. The geese had appeared and they were concerned what would happen to them left to their own devices.
I do have lake, ponds and stream relatively close but didn't think that close. They were gorgeous and so fluffy and I would have loved to have kept them.
I directed them to the person who may have decided to keep geese and in the end the geese were given to the local gamekeeper to take to a lake.

3. Bedroom almost finished. Having problems with delivery of a headboard. Delivery company can't book it in unless enough in area to be delivered and seen incapable of understanding that if it's a day I'm working I can't be at home!! After suggesting the following week it's a case of we won't know until the end of next week.!!
Bedroom looks good but I would like it finished.

4. DS2 been good this week and has been helping out with the cooking. Still not good with cleaning,ironing etc

5. Garden looking good at the moment and needs lots of work but feeling positive at the moment that I can achieve my aim of it being more like the finished plan at the end of the year than at the start of the year. My plan is at least a 5 year plan but more realistically it will be a 10 year plan.

6. House looking fairly tidy which is amazing as haven't done much in it.

My 5 OS pleasures for the last two days;
1. Got my neck CT results and thankfully the lump isn't something to worry about - likewise my ENT appointment has given me a way forward. Let's hope everything clears up.
2. Maximum use from my day bus ticket yesterday - five bus rides for £4.30, two very long ones.
3. Collected my book reservations and have already discounted one budget cook book (not sure their definition of budget is the same as mine).
4. Shopping for the week today came to £50 for us including a shop for the local foodbank.
5. Having a lie in today when I wasn't feeling tired or ill or dreading getting up. A proper lie in just listening the birdies outside. FAB.
