5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

whitesatin

Had a good night's sleep
Postman brought my emma bridgewater bargains
Walked 3miles to antique shop and back
Haggled on two large jugs I wanted
Hubby paid for one of them
The sun was shining, weather mild
Made some plans for garden

Recent pleasures, don't think I posted yesterday.......

1. Like Frith, listening to The Now Show - with DD in the car, she didn't understand a lot of the jokes and some I didn't dare explain!

2. Today has been a NSD

3. Pa and bro are decorating chez moi, DD and I are chez les parents, I can't wait to get home and see what they've done

4. Wine

5. Not having to cook this weekend

Whitesatin, i LOVE making plans for the garden!

My 5 for today...

1. As usual, a slow start to,our day. Wasnt vertical until pm. But took lots of meds and managed to get out for a couple of hours with Dd.

2. Made a few small purchases and received a free potted narcissus plant that the shopping centre were giving away to visitors this weekend.

3. Quick tea of fajitas with spicy quorn pieces, peppers, onions, sweetcorn etc.

4. Watched 'invasion of the bodysnatchers'. An oldie, but a goodie.

5. Aother lovely, brightweathered day

Marching through Sunday already but here are my Saturday pleasures:
1. Nice chat with sister and friend on phone.
2. Saturday scones(yes plural!) 2 little ones with jam and cream. New to us cafe but we won't be back in a hurry.
3. Groceries under budget again plus I had a $10 voucher to use.
4. Went to cinema to see 'Lincoln ' used cheaper vouchers, took water and an ice lolly from home.....polishes halo:)
5. Nice nachos for tea .

Then I slept and slept right through till Sunday !

ampersand

1. Just through the excellent, dark grittiness of Les Engrenages/Spiral.

2. This one from you,vjm, - 'DS seemed to enjoy it once he got over the fact that it was "so unfair" that he had to come at all' has surely brought nodding heads and knowing smiles to more persons than just I here...oh so true.

3. McC - just went back to read re:your son and apologise as I somehow had missed your post. My strong wishes for improved situ. for him asap.

4. 17 rhubarbs up! Warm! Sun!

5. Fatal trip to rtn Library books. Book sale on 3rd floor of Cambridge Central Library. Showed astonishing restraint: stuck@3 for £1, then wandered through market. Lots of good musicians about. Ooh goodness me! Fancy finding self right [STRIKE]outside[/STRIKE]inside Hotel Chocolat without realising. Ooh goodness me! Fancy there being 70% cocoa solids postcards rtc £2.75 [STRIKE]£11[/STRIKE]...just one - and bringing it back here saves postage?

6. Ruggers to look forward to demain.

7. vjm - I'm still enjoying my new-2-me travel towels, shipped back in NZ boxes, by which I mean I knew nothing of them till staying in Auckland YH last year and a fellow guest explaining hers. Back down in Hawkes Bay, I set off to find them - dear enough @$40-ish, but managed to find last 2 in 'last year's colours', a smoky rose which I like & haggled both for $20@camping shop. Was v. pleased and famberley were impressed. They really are excellent aren't they? I keep one in the car at all times now.

8. I was so lucky as I left P&R today[and free bus pass journey]. A movement caught my eye as I slowed in long line of exiting traffic for red light. Hold on! It was one of my gloves! Someone had kindly wedged it in by my offside mirror. Pulled over, jumped out to run round for it, then saw 2nd glove 20 yards back in road. I am so grateful to whoever recovered them for me.

9. Washed rugs and cleared up from yesterday's enforced house-breaking. I'm thinking I'll just sort a 'new' old door...I have many sources for architectural salvage. All will be plundered for the 24' x 10' Edifice...can't wait.

10. A current trailer on R5 grates on me, so rtn'd to R4 en route back to hear a very acceptable r3/r4 collaboration - staged version of Wind in the Willows.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01qkwgr/Saturday_Drama_The_Wind_in_the_Willows/
Got right into it, really enjoyable[although fave-est ever remains Sir Michael Hordern as Badger, stentorian, ringing out 'GET HIM TO THE LIBRARY' when Toad turned recidivist once too often] and I still have The Now Show to come. Right now, back to bed and Dodie Smith's Memoirs mixed with Grauniad before assaying into today's Library culls. Lovely.

We're all daffodils this w/e, heads up and faces in the sun.:j:j:j

4 Personal Message to DD

Wembley. Wembley!

3 Future expectations should not be placed on current results. Events cannot be guaranteed. Gloating, if it happens again, will be so much sweeter.

2 gether with Lady Black

1 Oh, and home made spotted !!!!!!.

Just heard that my Lion bar contains 20% tabby.

Chickenopolis

Good afternoon all !

Skintos - sorry to hear that you did not get the job.Don't let it put you off applying though x

CCP- I had an "OU break" at one point - wrong course really . Plodded on after that to get the Hons degree , as I am sure that you will . Mind you I wonder now how I ever had the time to study !

Vjsmum - you have snow? Positively tropical here !

Rainy - nice to have you back -totally agree re the constant horse meat stuff in the news. I am sick of it.

PK- baby steps xx

tealady -belated ((hugs))

5 for yesterday

1. OH let the hens out at 6.30 so had a lie in.

2. Roast beef dinner - weird for a Saturday but I find it physically too tiring to do on a Sunday before a work day

3. Made leeks in cheese sauce to go with the above , so used some of the sauce to make my sister a quor* lasagne- one of her favourites.

4. Back hurt so used the heat pad that I got for Xmas .

5. Terrier asleep on me all evening .

5 for today

1. Sheets , duvet cover etc drying nicely on the line -clear blue skies here. If Stinky Pete lights another bonfire I will probably tear him out a second wotsit hole He lit one yesterday during the day.

2.Went into town and got some picture frames to put some photos in for DM on Mother's Day. One of the rare occasions that I agreed to have photo taken at Xmas with DM and a yet to be taken terrier photo.Got 12 And*ex loo rolls for £2.99 too.

3.Stroganoff in slow cooker:D

4. Got a nice Wareho*se jumper in the Dbnhms sale.I rarely buy stuff to wear for work .

5.OH has made a few quid on Fleabay today.

Have a good evening all

Rainy-Days

Skint yet Again - having to have a big clear out as we are moving house this year, so need to get on top of things so that there is not this one big mad rush at the end. It's great to have the sun though and get the extra stuff done

Chickenopolis - thanks been absent for a bit but still popping back and forth. Seems this horse meat fiasco has been about for six months - that is an under estimation in my opinion. It's been on the go for allot longer!! And freaking bonfires are a pain they stink - you have my sympathy!!

1. Washing out on the line just after 9am and in by 2pm and all dried :j

2. Cleaned the house through and having the sun shining makes the place feel so nice again.

3. Cleaned out, tidied up and washed the kitchen food cupboards out. Threw a few bits out, but had a big tidy up generally. Trying to do this now so that towards the end, when we move, we are not taking stuff with us to Northumberland that we are no longer using rather, than moving stuff we don't need.

4. Cleaned up the tack room and had a general sweep up in there. 15 minute job but it looks better.

5. Cleaned and polished the wooden blinds in the kitchen and the kitchen window inside and out. They were a bit mucky but are gleaming now. Also got the scented candle and a tart burner on the go to make everywhere smell nice!!

Hope you all had a great weekend

PK, please continue to take it easy. CCP, that must be a relief, what a brave move, much better for your tutor too. I have two students at the moment who left it too late to change courses and are now dropping out as having decided they would do the higher level (despite contrary advice) they can't cope. So frustrating for them - and me.

Ampersand - thank you!
In fact, thank you ALL for all your good wishes for DS, he hasn't heard about the new post yet, but his supervisor passed on the word that he was told that DS had interviewed extremely well.
I thought he would, I can't recall him not getting a job he went for. There was a time when I could say the same. Still X fingers though.

1. Picking up a parcel from a MSE'r - some lovely toiletries that she had sent as a gift as she thought I would appreciate. I do.
2. Finding exactly what I wanted - a sink tidy - in Wilko's after fruitless hunting elsewhere. Sink area now much neater.
3. DD & DGC plus dawg popped in.
DGD mentioned she needed socks and was the recipient of a dozen unworn/barely worn pairs, that I cannot wear as they are too tight for my now semi-permanent swollen ankles. I declutter and she gets socks. Win-win.
4. DD went through put aside for charity shop books and took some for herself, leaving me room in the bags for a few more outs. Again, win-win.
5. Washing on the line for the first time this year (we are quite far north, garden faces west.) Must get it in and check if it's dried.
