5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

sparrer

Frith thank you but I didn't do anything, just saw the duvet set and like a dope mistook what you asked for . Big thanks to ampersand for getting it, I was thinking of asking my friend who lives halfway between here and Cambridge to go back but know she has a busy few days coming up.
ampersand I used to bring Muguet soaps home until I discovered olive oil soap (of which I have enough to last indefinitely!). It brings back good memories, I can still smell the scent of it
tealady the river trip and cable car sound fun, well done on the freebie haul
CCP ouch! Hope your throat is feeling better, perhaps try a small teaspoon of honey every couple of hours to sooth it

1. Doglet woke me at 7am so got up and made a start on filing.
2. Got almost a sack of shredding which goes to DD for bedding. She really must get a mattress!
3. Sorted out a few more pots and some packets of seeds for the lady who sells plants for GOSH, will drop them off in the morning
4. Juggled some pennies to give me a better interest rate. It will make me a few more pennies
5. nsd/npd

Sleep tight

Gosh & 18 May in fair Dublin bay. Gosh, let me get today over with thirst at Wembley. Am watching dragons!

Apparently there is a picture of BoP on twitter from yesterday. Look st the home page! Note, although I still have a full suite of hair, it has not gone rusty.

Right, got to get ready. Sausages are on. Let it roll.

A few weekend pleasures: been a bit chilly and damp but
with a warmer week ahead forecast .

After waking up at ridiculous o'clock (4.30am) I got up and had a chat with a friend from home...catching up on some gossip! Did my ironing whilst watching the current Holby episode and pottered about.

Went to supermarket and was just remarking in my head that this is the perfect time to come shopping when I got through till and realised I hadn't brought my purse! Gah! Had to drive home, then return! It was quite a big shop and as I was just glancing through receipt I realised I'd been charged twice for eggs. Went to customer service for refund. Whilst there I noticed the mobile top up I get had 20% off this weekend. So I bought 2 and saved $20. Only a few rtc s but a lot bought on offer.

Dozy afternoon (yesterday and today) the book my colleague gave me is a bit difficult to get into but I shall persevere!

Bought a paper shredder yesterday ( had recently created a small paper mountain whilst looking for one document!) it was a shocker! So took it back to shop and got a refund then went to an office supply shop and bought a better one which went through till cheaper than advertised!
Paper mountain gone!

Being there for DD2. She was very upset , one of her friends who had cancer and was thought to be in remission has been told its back with what seems like a vengeance. She is 12 years old. So lots of hugs from me and from her sister who gave her the loan of cuddly toys for the day!

Good chat with friend this morning , sharing our weeks news.

That's me! Quiet weekend and back to work tomorrow morning....with a 4 day week to look forward to...taking Friday off.

Have a good day ...you have a bank holiday to still look forward to

"Borrowing" a pleasure from DS, he went to see guitar legend Albert Lee (70 in Dec) play at a local-ish (big!) village hall last night.
He chatted to Albert, got a pic taken, he had also put one of his own guitars in the car in anticipation so got that signed on the neck. Albert is a legendary player, one of the all time greats, truly amazing to see him in a village hall in N.Yorks. It was packed out, needless to say.
Very quiet here, was beavering on pc most of yesterday. Will do things today to add pleasures.

Edit, oh Mhagster, hugs to your DD... Such a tough life lesson to learn so young.

Morning all - been out and about already, collecting a freebie mini greenhousey thing and some pots for the garden.

Pleasures for yesterday

1. Journeys to and from London went smoothly with no delays
2. My cold behaved itself - don't know if it's coincidence or if the lemon honey and cinnamon thing actually works
3. lovely meet up with old school friends - there are 4 of us who have been friends for nearly 40 years and are still fairly close, although life has pulled us in different directions. Literally and metaphorically, but it is always nice when we manage to meet up
4. Yummy lunch in a bar / restaurant just off the south Bank - I had black bream with pesto, good price too
5. Don't think I've got a fifth - nice day tho.

Have a good one all

CCP

Evening all.

mhagster - hugs to your poor DD.

sparrer - good suggestion re honey - I love the stuff, and don't mind an excuse to eat some!

1) Lots of lovely warm yellow stuff.

2) Enjoying watching the Badminton horse trials, despite some occasionally inane commentary: I particularly enjoyed the observation that "this is a big grey horse", which I would never have worked out without the commentator's expert input.

3) Felt in a gardening mood for the first time in ages, so I planted seeds and dahlia corms (or are they tubers?) until I ran out of compost.

4) A neighbour asking how my foot's doing - there's such a rapid turnover of tenants in this block that it's a real pleasure to know someone well enough to have him ask after my health.

5) BBQ tonight, with HM burgers and ratatouille. :drool:

ampersand

I have just had almighty computer crash screen, blue page with doom in every white sentence. Supposedly now has self-repaired, but I've no idea what any of it means. I'd rung Mr T because of repeatedly receiving 'Unexpected Error 404' on their rewards page, while hoping to check transport>Ireland possibilities.
For the moment it's going again.
Weirdest thing - my search bar is now BTYahoo, not google. I didn't even know there was such a thing.
mhags - shocking news, all the more so in context so well expressed by skint.
mcculloch - thought of you as I read Clare Balding's piece in the w8rs weekend paper: http://www.clarebalding.co.uk/news/horse-racings-prejudice-is-slowly-wilting

1. No question. Robin babies have departed. I have to count it as a pleasure, but wish I could have seen them go.
2. 2 starter pots of sweet peas begun - freebies from Scotsdales.
3. Little loin of pork is delicious from roasting on bed of tarragon, then thick sliced and set back in gravy to gently braise. Roast onion, taties and purple sprouting broccoli avec, from the 5-year old rogue survivor, now metre-high mini-tree, which had floated to neighbour's front bed and done well ever since. Yesterday -with permission - dug it up and hope it survives back here, to continue its unlikely cropping.
4. Yet again, looking forward to bed AND hwb. It's not properly warm here yet. Pathetically looking forward also to hot milk with Rowse honey. Used Waitrose coupon making 340gm squeezy pot £1. Reduced Hovis teacakes+2 for £1.20 promo. made each pkt=12p.
5. 812th Reach Fair tomorrow. I remember pasting a link last year. It's deliberately old-fashioned, traditional, a bit alternative, as are many living around here. I like being there.

Frith - Oops! moment and apology to Master Frith the Younger. Had forgotten Bank Holiday, so posting will be Tuesday.

Right, boringly au lit. Energy must return one of these days.
Bonne nuit.

Kittikins

1. Sunshine

2. Friend G and her boys met up with me in local park this evening and she treated me to dindins, very sweet of her.

3. DD spent the day over at a friend's house and had a whale of a time.

4. I managed to get some stuff done around the garden, hopefully enough to make the photos look okay.

5. Saw a few chums at church this morning.

6. Read a good book in the sunshine this afternoon.

Bonne nuit ampersand x

Big hugs to your DD, mhagster, so sad, sending love and prayers x

Evening all !

Pleasures for today

1. good sleep

2. used the £20 voucher from work to buy 2 cordiline (sp?) for my garden. Drought resistant which is good for me as nothing gets watered in my garden... all plants have to fend for themselves They were £15 each or 2 for £22, but it was 20% off gardening stuff so I even got some change !

3. managed 20 mins weeding. Not much of an impact but its a start, and these pills must be good (now I'm on 9 a day) as I'm not doubled over in agony tonight

4. also managed to cut the grass.... I love the smell of newly mown grass..... my little hover mower is fab, its like hoovering outdoors with no bag to empty

5. sat in the sun and read my book... Its meant to be even hotter tomorrow
