5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

VJsmum

Good luck tomorrow, Kittikins, we have a bunch of freshers arriving too.
Chicken - Honey Bear would like you to know that he is offended that you think he's a girl. Particularly as he has no clothes on. :rotfl: He went through the mangle about 50 years ago (literally!) and hasn't been the same since.
LFS - ooh I remember the days when we had a fire to have the first one of the year in.

Today's pleasures

1. Awake at 6 :mad: - this is not a pleasure but I did have a good ole read of the Grauniad online. I find it strangely addictive and so much more interesting than the mail
2. Managed to clean the bathrooms - which were minging - but more of a pleasure is that kids did the hoovering as the dust really affects my sinuses. :T I think they may find they have to do more of that.
3. OH cooked a chicken for tea and I now have a lovely pot of stock simmering away
4. Made a pecan and apricot loaf and its YUMMY
5. Dad is getting over his norovirus that he caught from my brother. Is taking its time but it will when you are 81 I guess.

Work tomorrow. Not sure I like this working on a Monday lark.

Frith

Pleasures for today (Sunday).

1) Massive sleep! Sons played downstairs and I nodded off lots of times, finally getting up at 10.30.

2) Tomato soup and HM bread for lunch.

3) Power was off all morning (they had warned us) so bigger son did some of his art homework.

4) Smaller son got his homework done after lunch.

5) House reasonably tidy.

6) My school friend popped round.

7) Made a curry for tea inc lychees.

8) Text from mum to say aunty (the recently bereaved one) will be leaving hospital soon and staying in some sort of home for a week to get her strength back.

9) Looking forward to a hwb and the Archers in bed soon.

D'oh weeing duvet should say wedding duvet. Weeing duvet would indeed be worse.
kittikins all the best for tomoz. We have our new intake starting.
lfs seem to be having first fire down the road but not in a good way. Fire engines, police cars and a helicopter! The school was closed for demolition june. Will update tomoz
1) rain but dd2 gave me a lift to church. She's back to uni now but was lovely surprise seeing her
2) lovely service - confirmation followed by special 2 course meal at italian round the corner. Lots of laughter which is very mse (and the meal was £7.95 plus drinks so quite reasonable)
3) coffee with mum and we went throguh my lecture for tuesday. Always good to bounce ideas off her
4) then shopping for work clothes. Gorgeous shirt and lovely dress not very mse but dress was 20% off the mse bit is mum then said oh i've got a pair of shoes in your size would go with that dress. So headed to hers and ended up with shoes, jacket, shirt, 2 skirts and a clump of chives for a lovely chive pot i boughtin the sale last week
5) settling down to rumpole on youtube and ds turned up. He was after some maths books but didnt say no to sausages and veg. He ended up eating the whole pound but he is at hollow legs stage. Then walked him back to his flat with the puppies and that's when we found all the fire / police bods.

It is blooming freezing and blooming pouring....rain good for garden....not sure what the cold is good for! However , heating on for a wee while to heat the house up.
Have made lamb (rtc)in a red wine and orange sauce ( used to do it with chicken! ) hope it tastes okay...it's not for me! Roasted pumpkin, carrots and spuds.
DD1 eating at a friends house so one less meal to cook.
Bought a bag of RTC red peppers on Friday, so have chopped them up and they are roasting in the oven too and will be made into soup tomorrow.

BoP methinks your remote control has run out of batteries... having said that lovely sunrise this morning ...rain due to stop play by teatime here

BoP is unable to accept comments on the Yellow Thing.

5 Do not nose why, but DD and her XoH minds me of Charles Babbage and the calculating machine, boolean algebra and all thnings fuzzy logic.

4 Had too much Wobbleades this weekend that I could not get to post. perhaps is because ms BoP loves me.

3 Had fish chips mushy peas for Sunday Dinner again. And the remains of last weeks Hand rubbed Spotted !!!!!! with lumpy custard. That was after Tom Soup with hand torn croutons as well, with fressh made Ms BoP bread

2 gether tonites with Ms BoP. She beat me at cards on Saturday nite.

1 Put off today. And it will not be done tomorrow.

Sparks Fly is Sparra lands! Beard rubs to those in need and those who just do deserve one anyway.

CCP

Evening all.

I've had a very short day today: I spent most of last night lying awake with dreadful stomach pains so phoned in sick to work this morning and went back to sleep, not waking up until nearly lunchtime. Oh well, if you can't do it when you're sick and in pain when can you do it?

1) NSD and NPD.

2) Phoned the veg box company for advice on storing mushrooms as the ones from last week's box had turned into a mass of white fur _pale_, and they gave me a refund as well. :T

3) Felt a bit better by late this afternoon so went out in the garden and harvested some HG borlotti beans, which are now spread out on a tray to dry.

4) Some sightings of the yellow thing this afternoon.

Can't think of a fifth, but I had one too many yesterday so that's OK.

Kittikins - hope your first day went well.

Chickenopolis

Good evening all !

I am sorry Honey Bear !!! You look very androgenous (sp?) .... a glass of red and a map !

PK- sounds like a perfect Sunday to me!

Mhagster - your posts sound soooo different now that you are in your new job

CCP - I hope that you are ok? Not the cold pizza was it ?
5 for today

1. Moved office - ok so only up one floor but still had dusty, yucky desks to sort out and to unpack crates of "stuff"

2. Reverbed a few pennies found on my new desk.

3. Spotty CS top was well liked.

4. Ate 3 croissants at work

5. A dog ran away from its owners and to within a few feet of me as the owners informed me she thought I was someone else !Sweet - then another half dozen hounds ( no joke ..all wanted a stroke/cuddle all very odd) The dog whisperer - must be something about the new top!!:rotfl:

6.Macaroni cheese for tea.

Have a good evening all !
.

ampersand

1. Just in from rocket-fuelled day and think things are reasonably on target. Pork patties braised in hm/hg courgette/tom concoction, yummy and smells lush from here. I'm hungry.

2. 3 goes at trailer because I'd loaded in the dogbeds but forgotten the rocking chair. Doesn't matter if you're lost already. Trekked back here - big job to disinter rocker from no.2 shed, but now done. Also forgot to take sewing machine down, but that can be finishing off stage tomorrow. I like working in storage barn.....

3..... and listening to the cricket. Charlie Dagnall is such a likable commentator. Today we learnt he has a Umist Chemistry Degree.

4. Freeeeeezing this morning. Coat, scarf, the lot for picking 1.3k framboises.

5. Into town, staying well behind perilous left lean of skyhigh hay load on truck. Dropped even further back when it made any right turns. Collected new hottie from w8rs, quickly called France to see if any last-minute bits reqd, but didn't even stop for free cappu - no time. Walked to Bank for Euros, only to be hailed on massively out of blue sky! Bonkers weather.

6. Kind neighbour put last duvet cover through her drier for me as I still have no heating, no hot water, but lots of icy windy rain. Will have to be major BLAST at whosoever when I return. I'm cold sitting here.

7. reverbe 5p when refuelling last thing tonight.

As for 'BoP is unable to accept comments on the Yellow Thing.'...................

Well, that's a hand-on-hips Really!!!
bop - kindly re-read your new Terms of Employment. The whole point of your zero hours Contract is that we SPECIFICALLY require yellow thingon demand. Kindly attend and rectify without delay, or I shall have to head très sud, even as early as demain.
-and Toulon lost again, to Castres, who denied them the top quatorze/Brennus.

The sooner I get down there and sort matters out, the better.
