5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

CCP

Evening all.

No post from me yesterday as my phone decided to revive its old dislike of the forum and wouldn't let me post. :mad:

So, yesterday's pleasures:

1) I didn't sleep well (actually I didn't sleep well the whole time I was away as the 'quiet room' I had asked for was above the car park and delivery bay, so was anything but quiet ) but it meant I was awake nice and early for my big day out.

2) Went on a tram!! :j The last time I went on it I was five, so you can understand my excitement.

3) Found a nice pub for lunch, with crab sandwiches and a lovely, fragile, elderly pub cat who settled peacefully on my lap (this was before I ordered the sandwiches, so it wasn't the usual feline cupboard love!).

3 b) Watching the pub landlord, the sort of big, burly bloke with whom you would not want to pick an argument, cradling the cat in his arms and kissing her head with a tenderness that bought tears to my eyes.

4) Stopped in the little village of Beer on the way back and dodged into a pub when it started raining, so I could say I had a beer in Beer. :beer:

5) Leaning on the barrier admiring the sea view and looking down to find a recently-fledged, fluffy sparrow sitting practically on my foot. So cute!

And for today:

1) Managed to sleep in a bit later after being woken in the early hours of the morning by a couple of idiots shouting and throwing things around in the car park, followed by the security guard remonstrating with them. :mad:

2) Went looking for otters and didn't find any, but did see a kingfisher. :j

3) One for BoP - also saw an Avocet. Very nice it was, too! :beer:

4) The train home wandered through some very attractive Dorset countryside, so that might be my next destination.

5) Got home to find the first of my HG tomatoes are starting to show just the slightest tinge of orange - about time too!

Proms, Boos and Punks things.

Seems I has bin &s'd with me posting.

5 Got a new monitor at work. Well one was not destined for me, but appeared by accident. In BoPs world, Finders Keepers. Possession 9/10ths of the law. l see, how useful was that.

4 Had written 5this afore, but just to say over the weekend beat, well truly thrashed Ms BoP at Scrabbles and Cribbage. Scrabble by 100 points and Crib, a good street and a half. Well tamed by nan and red cheese for Cribbage was me.

3 Continuum of no TV continues. No bull shows of non bretties, no bull news gets through. And we do not miss it. Ms BoP lines up the films of LuvFlube and Crackle. Free music on Qello. We may go for the years sub and LuvLubes all fpor less than thye Bolshevik Broadcasting Commissariat charge for. And far better. We watched Lee Evans the other nite. Thinkis Ms BoP licks him. Film was The Maritns. Typical BoP car in it as well.

2 gether with Ms BoP tonites and Scrabble Awaits

1 Whatever yous do. Do it with pride and integrity.

Typical CCP comes under again and no Tanks Button for me to press! (pressed now)

Oooh CCP Crab, Beer mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Just licks me Hrat that.

Ahh, was that the Beer in Devon. Could had gone to the train Model Shop!

Chickenopolis

Good evening all !

VJsmum - "silver gap year " indeed :rotfl:Glad to hear that you didn't catch something nasty . You seem perky- you and yer jugs:D :rotfl:. I saw that cinema revamp. They made me cross , more luck than judgement and too flash with the cash I like to see people do it on a shoestring my fave ones are a couple with the waterworks and the hexagon house built lovingly by Kelly and Masoko Neville.

5 for today

1. Work ok

2. Colleague gave me some none too pretty corn on the cobs for hens

3. My ex colleague is getting married on Friday and is doing most of the catering and she wanted 3 half dozen boxes of eggs . I gave her 20 today - surely confetti is easier to clear up ??:rotfl:

4. ready meal for me

5. Made some oaty buttery biscuits ( mort*ge free in thr** blog recipe). Need to melt the choc and peanut butter in a bit as the base is setting in the fridge.

Have a good evening all

3. doc has taken me off pre-gab medication :j .... well actually I've got to be weaned off it so should take about a week

DundeeDoll

chicken the x rated version of the last night at the proms the mind boggles!
1) waited in 4 freaking hours for talk talk engineer to come to son's house. No sow and when ds phoned them no explanation, just that they'd cancelled. The mse pleasure? On way back visited CS and got nice jumper and Marc New York jacket for under £12 (i think the jacket has never been worn as still had tissue paper round buckles!)
2) left overs for lunch very mse
3) listening to 4 seasons prom (the x rated version obvs) helped me wade through the holiday emails. Now down to 160
4) xoh met me with the pups after work and lovely walk home. River looks stunning
5) now going to watch the young montalbano on iplayerthen an early night. Thanks for whoever on this forum put me onto the old montalbano (though he didnt seem that old to me!)
Night all

Kittikins

1. Brilliant day at school for both Miss Kitty and me Her teacher told my dad that she's settling in very well and is a pleasure to have in her class

2. Did my first classroom display and have pictures to prove it, lol

3. To show that I will do anything to avoid preparing the last 13 chapters of my maths textbook, I have offered to plan an assembly for 'my' class for October when I'll be at uni!! So far I have the topic, some dodgy groanworthy jokes, a little skit (nicked from t'internet) and a hymn

4. I'm also going to be taking some (hopefully most) of the maths lesson tomorrow for the upper set. I want the girls to make flying saucers using their compasses and the primary school favourite, split pins

5. I wrote maths homework for a Year 3 class today

6. Our barn dance tickets arrived, yee ha!

7. My student finance monies came in, double yee ha!

8. Not MS at all, but as it was raining this morning, I drove the very short distance to school, soooo soooooo lazy but I didn't care!

9. Yummy dinner tonight - was very MS as it was mainly leftovers, which tasted better for being reheated, nomnomnom.

10. Quick chat on FB with a lovely chum

11. NSD

ampersand

Hello lovely peeps. Back - things to write, but this is just Bonjour for maybe a day or 2.

piecemeal

1. Picked up 1lb plums that kindly fell in our garden.:D
2. Great charity shop haul; 2 prs jeans, skirt, 3 cardis for me, shirt for DH.
3. 2nd hand bookshop, Dh got 2 novels £1 each.
4. While watcheing tv, I hand sewed some pot holders made from old cushion covers I patchworked in the 80's (in my cradle, obviously).
5. Dinner made by DH.:A

Frith

Falling asleep here so a quick 5 or so!

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Sons off to school happily.

3) Car tyre stayed up! (Spare wheel that I put on yesterday - must get tyre replaced on original wheel and put back on the car)

4) Made phone calls for 3 hours. Council, potential high school, potential primary school, council, tyre place, council.... Smaller son will be starting in the mainstream autism base of his new primary school at the end of the month! (He could have started the week before but all yr 6 will be away on a residential trip so they thought he would be lonely!)

5) Cleaned the stairs and living room floor.

6) Went to the tips to recycle plaster board, an old phone, old school shoes and some light bulbs.

7) Brother will be 30 tomorrow (!) and asked for some charity shop jumpers for his birthday for when he is working outside. I got one last week but had another look today when I was in town. I got a really thick fleece for him which is made by Gant. Never heard of them. Looked them up on the internet and all their jumpers cost £80+ when new!

8) Went to B and Q for the final layer of kitchen paint.

9) Bigger son and MrN's son5 had a tale to tell today. It seems that they were doing PE at school and decided to jump over a fence and cut the corner out of their cross country run. Sadly, "annoying James" stopped them so they have to re-run it later in the week. I tried to look as disapproving as possible but we had a massive cross country run at the back of my school (miles from anywhere) and I have no idea what the end of it looked like as I always sneakily turned back before I reached it!

VJsmum

What time do you call this?? :eek::(

OH away, (gone to ice cream town for a couple of days) I never sleep well when he ain't here. Mind, I don't always sleep well when he is here either with his Tamworth impressions

Frith, that's funny about the cross country. My OH used to have to run round a reservoir for his, there was a shelter at the start of the reser that several of the boys would hide in, wait for the others to run round it and then join in once the bulk had run back past, jog back to school. :rotfl: but then this is the bloke whose sports report said "shows some interest if the ball reaches him" :rotfl:
DforV love the vertical takeoff story
Funkyfairy (LOL, typed funky hairy at first ) have I said hello? Love your very OS post, make the most of it, my two wouldn't snuggle after school any more
CCP you seem to have had a lovely time, so pleased for you
BoP - ever played "UNO" ? It is our family game of choice. Better with more than two, but still possible. We once played with 20!!
Chicken, just started watching that grand designs on yoootoob, looks interesting (and I mean it, not like when I say "mm interesting" to OH when he's telling me a boring story ). My fave is the woodsmans house with Ben Law
Skint - don't have enough to go anywhere tho even fried eggs slide :rotfl:
DD - erm X rated prom?
Wow Kittikins, what a change. You sound over the moon with your new life
Bonjour Ampersand, look forward to your return. Thanks for popping in, you know we worry
Good Job in the chazzer piecemeal, I rarely find anything good. And frith too.

As I had time, I thought I'd pick up everyone today

So, yesterday's pleasures

1 nice walk to and from station. And I'd remembered my brolly
2 not sure i am too keen on this working four days a week lark ( i know, poor me eh ) but at least today was ok. Good lunch meeting with colleagues
3 quick tea, chicken noodle soup from freezer for DD, pizza for DS and omelette for me. Treated us to a YS sticky toffee pud I found in freezer
4. Made a quick batch of flapjacks for the after school tin. Didn't have any condensed milk so looked up a substitute. It seems to have turned them into flap cake! Seem edible, but I wish I'd thrown some sultanas in.
5 tidied kitchen while catching up with archers and Ambridge extra. God that's a bucket of muck isn't it? I won't bother again.

Have a good day all. We have "The Deans conference today" mmm interesting :rotfl:
