5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Ladyhawk

Evening all,

DUNDEEDOLL - I'm with your OH (she sounds like a wise lady)... I would love a wood burner.
CHICKEN - did the woman at the dinner say anything in response to your comment re her always posting on your DH's faceboooook?

1) I was incredibly naughty today and stayed in bed until... 2.30pm! I know... Disgraceful but I was so enjoying the snoozing and reading.

2) Watered the garden - no rain for 2 days and the garden is bone dry and my seedlings are dying.

3) Did the washing - some of which dried on the line

4) Spent an hour drooling over "my" new house. I am so excited about this one! The others that I have put offers in on I have like well enough and I would have been happy in... But this one... This one is special

5) Listening to some fabulous music on the radio - latest being Eric Clapton Live doing "you look wonderful tonight". Stunning.

6) Rearranging my lounge. Turns out that there was an aerial socket hiding behind a bookcase that I had forgotten was there! One step closer to getting TV back again! Am bored with trying to find new homes for stuff... Though I am chucking/ recycling as much as possible.

Night all... I am going to have a bath, read my book, shave my legs and climb into a freshly made bed... Bliss!

Frith

Well, I've had better days. I appear to have left MrFrith.

But it's OK as he is completely unconcerned. :-(

Got a pleasure, though. Smaller son - shall we buy some of that spar... spar... spar..... sparrow paragraphs? :-) (asparagus)

For Saturday -
1. Washing dried on the line
2. Had lunch in the garden
3. Met with old and new friends at a new venue in the evening
4. Went for coffee afterwards and resisted a cake - that was hard!
5. Email from a company I bought a clock from. It arrived with a small part of the casing damaged at the back, clock works but it was meant for gift so couldn't give it like that. Sent a pic of the damage and the company told me I could keep it and they gave me a full refund. Will put the clock in DD's football club's sale

Sunday -
1. DNeighbour gave the dog a beef bone almost as big as him!
2. Met with friends at lunchtime
3. Wore a cardigan I seldom wear and found a £2 coin in the pocket!
4. Went to tea with a friend, my first time at her home and I hope not the last. She lives along a tiny country lane in a beautiful old house full of character, we had tea in her typically English country garden. Met her DM who lives with her as she has Azheimers. What a sweetie, we did have a lovely conversation and she hung on to my hand when I had to leave. Friend said I was the first person to chat with, and understand, her DM for years! I had a residential home for several years so am quite used to chatting with older people and she was so sweet it wasn't a chore
5. Changed the bed linen, old lot is in the wm waiting for Econ7

Shattered, so an early night for me. Sweet dreams

Good evening all!

Tealady- :beer: well done you!
Ladyhawk - sorry to hear that politics seem to have got in the way of the "cause" re your Volunteering - well done for giving up your time to support others x

mcculloch- good luck to A.R tomorrow at Hexham !

Angrove Rumbaba switched to the Sat meeting, and then it got abandoned, apologies for not updating, Chicken, but thanks for thinking of him.
A nuisance, but I'm pleased he didn't have to run again in heavy ground and I didn't have a lift to Hexham either, so would have missed it.
It looks as if we may well have a Derby run in heavy ground, can't remember that before, tho I lived abroad for some years and may have not known.

Monday, where is my old Boomtown rats record. Still, not at work today. Just got the cats snoring at the moment. He is on a two fork diet. Blessed thing eats grass, it is no good for him.

1 Checked freezer yesterday and found chicken breasts from butchers. Quickly made up with roast tatties, stuffing and veg. Served with blackcurrant jam, and onion gravy.

2 Glass of wobbleade to wh it all down with. Nice pint of Sam Smiths OBB.

3 Lazed in garden, weeded, as it is easy care, did not take long.

4 Neighbours cat getting hard stare from ours, they ally are such ... Still, ours is such a laze, one day the other one will ...

5 Fruit salad day today, with ice cream. Home made from fresh pineapple, sour grapes, banana and pears. Do not add banana to mix, as it goes all mushy.

Ladyhawk... look at you staying in bed till 2.30pm, giving my DS(16yo) a run for his money

Hope all goes well with you buying the new house!

Frith (((hugs))) perhaps its for the best if hes that unconcerned !!

:rotfl:at the sparrow paragraphs ....kids eh

1. Sunny warm morning
2. Went to Doc 8.30 appointment so too early for them to be behind with appointments
3. Had treatment for my vertigo, felt terrible after, came home and went to bed, but feel great now. Hoping it lasts
4. DS offering and making me cups of tea without being asked
5. moroccan lamb casserole for tea with lo lamb from yesterday

Have a good evening all x

Evening all.

Skint - I'm glad the treatment seems to have worked - long may it last!

Frith - I'm sorry to hear about you and Mr Frith. I love 'sparrow paragraphs' - I think I'll call it that from now on.

1) A naughty but very nice sausage sarnie for breakfast, using up the last two snags from the packet I defrosted for last night's dinner. :drool:

2) Wore the new amber bracelet I bought in Birmingham to work today. It was a lot of money by my standards, but it's so pretty and got so many admiring comments that I can't bring myself to feel at all guilty for spending the money.

3) My usually indifferent manager seemed a bit shaken by the thought that she could have lost a staff member in a train crash, and gave me a hug and a promise of an extra day off to make up for all the time I spent sitting on an unmoving train.

4) Took my latest faulty greenhouse back and was given a refund with no quibbles, although sadly also without the slightest sign of any interest in the nature of the problem.

5) Fish and chips for dinner - from the supermarket, which is marginally better than a takeaway at least.

Have a nice evening, all.

Chickenopolis

Good evening all !

Frith ((hugs))- I appear to have missed that part of your post re Mr Frith- sorry to hear this x

Ladyhawk- the tiresome female said that she was not on fbook that often ... I said nothing ....but raised my eyebrows in an over exaggerated manner and snorted :rotfl: words can be soooo overrated sometimes

take it like a man, sonny - glad to hear that you are having a phased return to work . There is sometimes an assumption that when you are back you are meant to pick up just where you left off glad to hear that you are not

skint - hope you feel better soon x

sparrer- I had a feeling that you once had a care home ;)Loved to hear about the lady with the dementia type illness. My line of business allows me to do this often -one of my biggest pleasures tbh.


5 for today

1. Hot water bottle behind my back at work

2. Needed to negotiate a tricky issue with a Provider .. we are at the half way stage , round two tomorrow.

3. Picked up some issues in their paperwork which should make the above swing in my favour tomorrow. Not a pleasure but a useful "tool".Its for the greater good of others so I have no qualms about being persuasive.

4.Mum let the new hens out and they were easy to get back in their coop .No 75 year old ladies running around the garden like a Benny Hill scene , but in mud .

5. rtc Chinese for me, and a curry for OH for tea

eta - the funniest of all I accidentally called my manager on his mobile at 6.30am - fortunately he did not pick up and he is on leave all week ..

Have a good evening all !

Hugs Frith

For today

1. Had to go into work on my day off - as I'd swapped last Thursday's invigilation for one today (I can't have everything - though I don't see why not ). But still managed to clean bathrooms and have coffee with friend.
2. DD went off to her GCSE French quite happily - and, more importantly, came home quite happily. We have 5 weeks of it now so glad it started well
3. Went out for lunch yesterday but had cooked our roast chicken anyway. Had it cold with salad for tea - it was delicious
4. Had a veeerrrry nice looking man come to give us a quote for a replacement conservatory roof. The quote is a bit :eek: but I think it's got to be done. And gazing at the bloke was free :rotfl:
5. If i am very good I will continue with my skirt in a bit.

Kittikins

1. NSD, phew!

2. Reverbe'd a £1

3. Had great physio session

4. A friend picked DD up for me as I had to stay late at work due to the above.

5. DD and I enjoyed the programme on BBC1 about dogs' intelligence before her bedtime

6. Managed to keep DD in her bed again last night, woohoo!! She came in for lovely cuddles this morning

7. Bumped into a lovely friend when doing the school run this morning
