5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Ladyhawk

evening...

Im super tired today after a work awards dinner last night. We won one out of three which resulted in us just "having" to drink lots of wine

1) SUNSHINE!!! Which wasn't so nice when I woke up first thing (9am) this morning

2) Skiving off work. I really must catch up over this weekend

3) Ladies and gent.... I have been asked out on a date by a real live man who I haven't met on tinternet!! I can't remember when this last happened but I am looking forward to it.

4) LSD (not the drug!!)

5) Easy supper of pasta and HM tomato sauce from the freezer

Night night

Hello Millie, welcome back and so sorry to read about GSD RIP, love gsds....... but agree that you made the right decision in the circumstances....x

1. The sun and a lovely breeze to cool it down a tad

2. A fab friend brought DD back for me from school as I had to wait in for a delivery....

3. Hoorah, the final bathroom delivery was made today!! Now to get the plumber in.....

4. Yummy dinner

5. Slurp, yummy wine.....I was in the mood to have some fizz, so have had

6. OH is here

7. OH's mum has offered to water our garden whilst we're on holiday, phew!

CCP

Evening all.

Millie - it's lovely to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear you've had such a bad couple of months, and I'm really sorry about GSD.

1) More muesli and yoghurt for breakfast.

2) More lovely, warm sunshine.

3) Booked a hotel room for the night before my exam next month. It's not very money-saving (although I made sure I booked via a website that offered cashback, of course :money:) but it will be very stress-saving as I won't have to worry about fighting my way through Monday morning rush hour traffic.

4) Wrote my first reviews on a well-known travel website: I use it a lot for reference and thought it was about time I gave some feedback of my own. (I reviewed the hotel in Birmingham: I have a vague intention to use part of my rail travel compensation to go back in the autumn and have another go at the Jewellery Quarter - so many sparkly things, so little time! )

5) Veg fajitas for dinner, using a HM spice mix as I've run out of the RM one I usually use - it tasted pretty good, although I was a bit heavy-handed with the chilli. :eek:

Have a good evening, all.

Millie!! Nice to see you back - although I am sorry for your woes.
I didn't meet with CCP either - maybe when she uses her free rail travel we should all have a coffee??

Sorry, CHicken, couldn't resist!!

Glorious weather again!! :j Anyone who mentions "too hot" gets royally stamped on - or in Brummie "Ay iss ot ay it?" as a colleague said he heard in Stourbridge high street today.

So for today

1. I wore shorts for the first time this year. had to take them up 3 inches to transform them from something you'd have seen in "It ain't half hot mum" to something slightly more chic.
2. Nearly finished my skirt - just needs hemming now. BIt messy round the waistband - I'll have to wear an "out" t shirt with it, but it is lovely
3. Lunch with friend and her DD - my goddaughter. Sat outside in the sunshine
4. Barbecue tonight - yummy marinated chicken (reggae reggae sauce) and YS beef and chilli "Kofta" type kebabs
5 DD left school today :shocked: There was a surprise leavers assembly and that is it. Mind she still has to go for lessons she hasn't yet taken the exam in - so she is back first thing monday, much to her disgust :rotfl:

Off on train for yet another hospital trip. With a pile of marking so - 2 birds, one stone and all that. Hopefully next time I visit, dad will be home.

MILLIE Welcome back. You have been missed. Hope things pick up for you and yours. (((((((HUGS))))))))

Millie - Well I'm blowed - I was thinking about you today !. I am so sorry to hear about Gem x But I know that you didn't take a single second that you had with her for granted .Your time together was meant to be as she chose you didn't she ? ((hugs)) to you , I bet that your folks (the Parentals) are gutted too. I hope that you hand is better ?? I am sorry about your OH's job but glad to hear that oldie is still being her usual self.

I still have a chuckle to myself when I look at the clothes in M&S

Broomstick, Saving for Oz , ampersand,house elf and Ninnoodle hope you are all ok ??

eta Mcculloch - how did the race go on Wednesday??

OT - Johnny Depp can hop aboard any time !

Thank you, everyone xx

VJsmum, that would be fab, so CCP, when you are next up here, give us a yell

Chicken- yes, we are all missing her lots. Dad has "adopted" a crow. Eh?? And feeds it 3x a day - I think we need to get another dog soonish
You probably won't believe this, but I thought about you today when we ducked through M&S, to avoid a gaggle of chuggers in Worcester

Ampersand should be back now shouldn't she?

Finally got round to posting, bed late last night, awake early and then I fell asleep in my chair this afternoon after a busy cycling/shopping trip.

1.Chatted to my sister on phone and shared good news which was:
2. I have landed another contract within work. I work as an e-tutor in Maths. The organisation I am an associate with got a major contract with an additional company and needed existing tutors to apply for new posts that would be created - we start early August.
3. Watching this , Angrove Rumbaba over jumps at Micky Hammond's.
4. Cycling in the sun, lovely.
5. Enjoying my Nella Last books - wonderful writing. After having the first book as a favourite for around thirty years, the joy of reading two more is something else.
6. Son cooked tea whilst I was asleep.
7. Reading your joys /troubles /experiences
