5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Frith

Hope you get on OK, Bop.

Kittikins - Wallace and Grommit... we haven't been to anything like that for ages; last thing we saw was Joseph in Malvern. Might have a look and see what is on.

Happy birthday for yesterday to VJ's son.

Here are my pleasures for yesterday (always struggle to remember if I leave it til the next day)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Sons happy at school and bigger son's termly assessment report came home and it is all OK. It does seem a bit random with lots of figures - some he is slightly under what he was forecast but in design and technology he has gone from a 4a to a 6c in a term, which seems unlikely!

3) Made huge quantities of soup throwing everything in that I could find.

4) Sister popped in for a cup of tea.

5) Smaller son is usually pretty happy but very rarely dissolves into fits of laughter. (Bigger son does that!) So bigger son and I enjoyed watching smaller son last night literally falling over laughing whilst playing with a fart noise app he had put on my phone!

6) Cleared the boys' wardrobe out as they have both grown 3cm and there are some "new" t shirts and trousers on their way here from EBay.

Frith, your posts are so SOLID these days and make wonderful reassuring reading every time now, even when there are occasional obstacles. Again, if you're not fed up with my repetition, WELL DONE! all over again.

1. So, '[Wo]Man plans, God laughs' was more God smiling benignly yesterday. All things achieved as hoped, timely, and pressed on well at silversmithing. Earlier, had passed a quiet hour wet/dry sanding edges while waiting in car. It was good. A pity to learn that next course starts almost on heels of this one - 22 April - can't commit 8 wks at this time of year. I had assumed September. Yes, then too, says Rebecca, so that will be alright. She's had more big exhibition days/nights this last week - Goldsmith's - and others this week. She IS such a clever young woman. Again, how lucky we are to have her.

2. Lovely bogof bunch of gorgeous scented jonquils - 10p@Mr T en rte back last night. Actually wanted cotton buds - remembered those, too:-)![not always a given]

3. Have cancelled L.working here today. dkw-but all has massively regressed again. Must be in good form for tests and x-rays tmrw. Will stay cocooned, read, have Thermos alongside. It's just getting silly now, to drag on and on like this. 2 new books from Library by this writer:

http://www.qiuxiaolong.com/index2.html

Much enjoyed and intrigued by one from jumble sale, so seeking others now. Suppose I'm a Completist in anorak terms.

4. Exchange of txts with F - both now concerned re:someone, but reassuring to know that same points struck us both. Will do what I can today - won't be much though.

5. Didn't know I was out of sth on prescription - relieved that I can do it online.

sparrer - is there a simple way for me to move the entirety of my years of hotmail to gmail, or must I plod on with it bit by bit? Can't face that right now and have just been infuriated again by the Doesn't work system of Reply which they've totally burgered up. I just want to hit Reply and start typing. NO. Not allowed. All sorts of other frames/options/blocks - in other words, telling ME how I'M to write MY own words. It's taken me 10 goes to circumvent.

Better add a 6 to make my usual sort of 5-although this has the strong pong of urban myth about it.

Good afternoon all !

VJsmum- That's good to hear re the counselling ! I am sure that your FN won't ever grow out of you - my FN' s and great FN's have not - ages between 36 years down to 5 years respectively :DThey tell me stuff they would never dream of telling their parents I bet your FN is the same .

BoP - blimey that's the heart rate of a canary! I hope she gets turned down !

5 for today

1. OH and I went to an auction - not much going on tbh.

2.Bizarrely received a lot of attention from random older men today coming up to me making conversation for no real reason (including a farmer ) as OH and I went off to look at things separately - I reckon it's just because I am older than their daughters but younger than their wives :rotfl:OH not impressed about the farmer though, he knows I have always had a bit of a "thing" for them .

3. Nice pub lunch .

4. Looked in a "Salvo" yard- loved it, but too pricey and they know it !

5.Nice sunny afternoon.

Have a good evening all !

I know I'm not sparrer, but I'll answer anyway as I also moved from hotmail to gmail - you should be able to do this automatically - when I set up my gmail it asked if I wanted to transfer my contacts and archive from hotmail and, when I said yes, it went off and did it all for me. It took an hour or so but everything's now nicely filed in my gmail account - it even moved my filing categories over for me, which was quite clever.

Hope you can get it to work the same !

2. drove to work in a pea souper of fog, but drove home in glorious sunshine

Will have to wait till i'm back in the UK for the archers :-(
Poland is snowy and cold but i hear so is the uk. Going out for dinner soon so quick 5
1) faculty development with students as well as tutors working well - bit of a gamble as a novel idea in poland
2) given a mug-veryuseful as one in hotel bedroom is tiny
3) free wifi in the hotel so i can read all your posts and keep in touch with home(though mic on ipad seems to have stopped working)
4) 2hour break after teaching and before we go out for meal with polish colleagues - much appreciated
5) oh has just discovered why my lap top is so slow - the virus scanner was set up to scan at just about everything and the fan was going beserk. Was thinking i was needing a new puter but this is sounding good os news.

Evening all.

I have been better today, thanks, although I'm not sure if it's actually been a better day or whether not having mog waking me up at stupid o'clock has just left me feeling more alert and less irritable. :undecided

1) After a foggy start (complete with foghorns :j) the sun came out and it's been a nice, almost spring-like day.

2) Took part in some research for a PhD student, for which he paid me £5.

3) Finished everything that needed doing at work by 4.30 so spent the last three quarters of an hour reading through the 'childhood diet' thread - interesting stuff.

4) Had a voucher for 5p off each litre of fuel so took the opportunity to fill my tank to the brim, which I don't usually do.

5) I'm going to venture out to the pub quiz tonight, on foot - I'll probably regret it by the time I'm half-way there but I'm fed up with having to go everywhere sitting down, and it's too nice an evening to waste.

Have a good evening, all.

Jenny has been reprogrammed and at the mo s running smoothly. Change of pills the morning. Could be interesting.

No other pleasures as away from Lady Black.
