5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

sparrer

Evening all - I feel like I should be doing a knees-bend when I say that

1. Lie-in til 9am, thank you furries
2. Two loads of washing on the line
3. Lunchtime meeting with friends, and some visitors from Oxford and Cambridge. No oars at 12 o'clock thank goodness
4. Arranged to have lunch out with DD tomorrow, packed the car up with 4 sacks of shredded paper and a mop thingy for the dog room, a bag of dog biscuits which my fussy lad refuses to eat and two cartons of fruit drink which have sugar in (too sweet for me) for DGD. In exchange she's going to put a new fuse in for my vindow vipers which have stopped working. I hope it's not the motor, I'm just getting back on my feet after the C-word
5. Anthea Turner is out of Dancing on Ice. Sorry to anyone who likes her but I just can't take to her and her Miss Perfect personality. Add to this pleasure, Cheggers is still in

Sleep tight

Chickenopolis

Sparrer - couldn't agree more about Anthea Turnoff

carolinerunner - sorry to hear about your car !

Katholicos - Glad "the knock at the door" was not meant for you x

CCP - ((hugs))

Have a good day all!

Quick 5 from my phone:

Day off work, woke up with labyrinthitis and was all dizzy and unbalanced but just stayed in bed for a while. The pleasure was that I could!

Read and read !

Sunny but not too hot. Queensland is having horrific weather conditions.

Made lentil soup, nachos and a delightful peach crumble with orations in the freezer.

Day off work!!!

ampersand

Love those orations, mhags! That one made me wish I could find my nana's Magic Peach Dessert recipe, her own recipe. I've even tried on mse, ages back. Peel peaches in a round pyrex dish, surrounding an inverted cup then packed over with sth shortcake-y. Red jelly liquid poured over. Baked. Inverted for serving, the jelly juice has all passed into the cup, by way of the fruit and the mix - a gorgeous fruity saucey syrupy thingy.

I'll try and write here again,but it seems to be comm.s generally here going silly.
They'll be various, with too many posted mais disparu's to regurgitate again - and stilll no Thanks button working. Those apologies I DO repeat.

En bref -

1. Ooh, just remembered - 1st Silversmithing lesson tonight.

2. O/s Waitrose, was riveted by Murray Lachlan Young - here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01q9tl3

No question but that I shall be listening to all of them. Thankyou i-player.
Cappuccino, cappuccino, cappuccino - Fri, Sat and Sun. But I shop[cannily]while there, so clever wheeze w8rose. Yesterday, President Unsalted 250gm butter was reduced to 55p. 500 gm mushrooms 15p. Made phonecalls - delivered 'Yes please's en route back:-)

3. My rhubarb spears have not suffered under the snow.

4. Masses of molehills, all much bigger than usual, noticed during last week, like prominent Plum Puddings atop the snow. That gone, they are now mountainous.

5. Continuing to look into Delhi/April, maybe combining with NZ Uncle's 90th birthday in May. Can this really be true? 3 months of Spitalfields have transformed outlook, self.

Heard Andy win 1st set,but know he'll take another Grand Slam. Did anyone else hear Shane Warne being articulate, not 'slaggijng off'', but word-perfect by my script re:dislike absolute of Djokovic? He was spot-on, speaking of something he couldn't put his finger on, some personality failure, some lack of human warmth, which meant he just couldn't like him or anything about him, while absolutely acknowledging his on-court brilliance and mastery.

I'm pre-occupied and I know it's evident. Sorry for this. I'll try and do a catch-up read without losing this now.

Also funny how most birds vanished today, as it's Big Garden Birdwatch day. Have found that before. Do you think they know?

2. Have a new date for my Latin course that I had to cancel attending last year when I was really sick, yippee!

3. Great day at work. Felt like I achieved a lot, which after Friday is fabulous!

4. DD slept with me last night and gave me great hugs this morning and kept me warm in the night

5. OH is taking DD and I out for lunch on Sunday and has already booked the restaurant! Could it be finally sinking in that I don't want to just sit at home when we see each other?!? Here's hoping....

6. Might have an evening out on Friday to look forward to, just need to work a few things out.

7. Have a yummy beginnings of a pasta bake bubbling away on the hob for tonight's dinner, nomnomnom.

8. Was paid my first lot of expenses from work, yay! Just got to work out how to put in a mileage claim.

9. Going on a work course tomorrow

10. Woohoo! Just sold one of the DVDs my dad gave me to get rid of


Hugs to poorly peeps and anyone who'd like one x

Frith

Bleurgh, full of cold here. :-(

Here are my pleasures for today:

1) Sons off to school quite happily.

2) Heater mending man arrived and thinks it is fixed. Because it is economy 7,I shan't know until midnight!

3) Went to Ludlow for a look round. Nothing exciting in the charity shops but I saw the Bulgarian man at the market for sweet potato and walnut bakes and some cakes.

4) Have just spent a while cleaning mould off the ceilings upstairs! Always surprises me that a bit of flash and hot water gets it off straight away.

5) Looking forward to going to bed with a couple of hot water bottles and iplayer.

Good evening all !

Frith and Mhagster - I hope that you both feel better soon x

5 for today

3. Cuddles with the tiny terrier who snuck in through the gate again when Mum came in to my garden to give the hens some scraps .She ignored hens :T

4. OH has tidied up the house and done some washing which has dried on the line .

5. Rtc fillet steak for tea in a moment ... ...off to scoff

Blackbeard_of_Perranporth

Bring it on. One more nite, then BoP shall be earplugged, listening to the commentary.

5 Tests this morning again. Itchy front as part shaved. No worry, the rug will grow back.

4 Just doing salad for tea. Had marmite and cheese sandwich for lunc. Yum yum yum.

3 Got a new toy tat allows me to switch off the telly, from miles away. Just tried it on the ex Lady Black. Waits for phone call condemnation.

2 No tv day 28. Someone at work switched the tv to cbeebies again. :rotfl:

1 Mind the ap.

CCP

Evening all. (It took a bit of hunting but I found one eventually, sparrer!)

Frith and mhagster - hope you both feel better now!

ampersand - I'd love to do a silversmithing course - I could make my own earrings rather than buying them! Have a great time this evening.

carolinerunner - I had the same experience with the RSPB bird watch: today, as usual, my holly tree was full of cheeping sparrows, but yesterday, when I wanted to count them, there wasn't a sparrow in sight. Where do they all go on bird watch day? :huh:

1) Day off, so I had a lie-in and then a laze around until my headache eased off. (Have I mentioned that I really hate these antibiotics? )

2) Cold pizza for breakfast, in a slightly more sensible quantity than yesterday.

3) My new toy phone has arrived and it's much easier to use than the last one, although I'm going to have to go to the shop tomorrow as, despite following the instructions several times, I can't get the GPS to work. :mad:

4) Ordered my flowers and veg for the summer. :j For the past few years I've tried growing everything from seed with very poor results, so this year I've spent a bit more and got plants instead, in the hope that I might get more than about a dozen tomatoes from ten plants as I did last year.

5) Being at home and not having to go outside on a very wet and windy evening.
