5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Kittikins

Oh PK, you poor thing! Hairline or blooming chasm-like, a fracture's nasty!

Mhags - what on earth is happening at your workplace? Is it huge? Or was it hugely overstaffed when it opened?

DD - hugs xx

Pleasures for today...


1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Sons had a good day at school.

3) Did bits of admin and phone calls including ordering a tonne of logs.

4) Popped down to see mum who had her 2 old men round, all practising the accordion together!

5) Tasty stir fry for tea.

6) Open evening at bigger son's school. (Bigger son is in yr 8, smaller son in yr 6 so will go to high school next September). Was a strange evening. My brother went too so bigger son was very happy showing him everything. Smaller son sort of knows he will not be able to go there so that was odd. Also, we saw groups of children from smaller son's old primary school (he left a year ago) and he got very embarrassed when he saw them.

One interesting bit for me was I noticed the school has been donated a harpsichord. I was wandering round it when the art teacher said I could have a go. So they had a bit of Toccata and Fugue. :-)

7) Just tried to make some cookies for smaller son's MacMillan coffee morning at school tomorrow. Bit of a failure so I'm scraping them off the greaseproof paper and eating them! Came back from open evening to find I have no eggs so no cakes.

8) Good news is that smaller son has said he wants me to go to the coffee morning because he will be (drum roll).... helping serve tea and cake! This sort of participation is unknown!

It's Friday....hurrah , hurrah and more hurrah!

I'm sitting , yep....on my sofa facing my full floor to ceiling window , looking out into my garden. ,my blackbirds are singing, the sun is out , a wee breeze is blowing my trees about and it's quite lovely!

I'm just in from a crazy day at work, really busy and worked an hour extra , so I've done 2 extra hours this week ...every little helps.
kittikins no we are not a big place and were so overstaffed ( as I said at the time!) a few that needed to leave have gone but so have some good staff.
I gave our baker her tips on Monday and she had obviously decided she was going by then but hadn't told anyone ( had hinted at it to me but I didn't think she'd go) anyway, yesterday she donated her tips ( a fair amount) to a church and lit a candle for my main colleague and I!



Brought home left over from lunch pizza...prosciutto , Nicole potato,provolone cheese , rosemary and onion....just had some ...on the sofa!

Had schlurpalicious avo on toast with mushrooms for break.....stone cold but still delicious by the time I got them...got a bit busy.

Just nipping to post office to post a card to old work colleague and then shall settle down on ye olde sofa for a Downton fest! Oh the anticipated pleasures! DD1 brought it home from school via friend...I will watch it then the teachers get to see it!! It won't be on tv here until next year! I have 3 episodes to watch.

sparrer nothing wrong with being cold and crabbit.....I shall all too shortly be hot and crabbit!( for about 3 months!)
the sparrer should never be messed with...hope you're smiling again soon

Have a lovely Friday

Aww Sparrer, hope you find someone to offload to. I am missing my "lady wot lunches" with my pally as it is a chance to have a bit of a moan. I Mayfair to get her out for a drink at some point. Only six more Fridays after today
Chicken,yes so proud of mum. She joined the disability group when she was about the same age as I am now and they changed her life. She had been a bright kid and wanted to be a teacher but the family couldn't afford her to stay on at school so she worked in shops, pubs and the NAAFI, where she met my dad, then in a factory and back to the pubs. After she became very disabled , she joined the group and it was a massive thing for her to do. Well, she never looked back and learned two foreign languages, travelled as bit with them, wrote these four books (even promoting them on local radio), chaired the committee of the group, did fundraising. They made her life and gave her some brilliant friends.

Oh, was going to post pleases but my train is arriving in station.

BoP - must have looked like I'd been on the wobbleade... Now counting days to 1 Nov & The Pudding Recipe!
Chickenopolis - keep on loving the job! "Driving the OGV - fast" - cor!
Kittikins - are you keen on the correct grammar too? (Where do you stand on the Oxford comma?!)
lovefullshelves - love the mangina! Ah, sampling...
Purple Kitten - hope Mr.PK is better soon (toblerone cookies sound very reviving?) Hairline Fracture? All housework is off! Shoes to be coaxed into slipons with hair elastics. Bra strap - well, how sick is Mr.PK?
Frith - hurrah on Bigger Son growing (stand by for "He's wearing My Trousers" arguements?!), logs, Toccata & sons helping serve tea & cake (practice at home?!) and ulp about Open Evening.
DD - that grin must have looked like I'd been on the pink gins. We're normally Terribly British (and I think we both like it that way.) Yippee - Budapest! Big hugs surviving wedding anniversary & hurrah at CS wins!
CCP - well gone getting the green waste bin out whilst lurgified - now rest up & get better?! Glad CS was helpful - the wrong size label sewn in is not unheard of but very dispiriting.
mhagster - amidst this bewildering round of Musical bakers, you may get loads more work as well? Thank heaven for the reassuring power of avocado on toast.
VJsmum - Norway - goes pink at memory. What a splendid way to remember mum! Hope tulips thrive!
Skint yet Again - bug & thyroid & you manage to swim too! Heroine!
sparrer - well done getting the tins off Mr.M! I managed to find 2 and snaffle them, and would have gone for the other 2 there but ran out of money. Ahem. Thinking of switching utilities to a fix even though on blinking good deal this month as would rather be on blinking good deal in 3 months time. Hope you feel less cold, tired & crotchety after the kip!
lissadenton - four sun dresses at 5 Euros each?! Storming!

OS Pleasures

More daft quotes "She's blonde & a bit excitable & not a p!!dophile, she's in my year" (This from an exitable blond...)

Plus "I don't do maths, it's up there with necromancy and French" (More homework I have to help with then...)

Youngest back to brushing without arguing as wobbly tooth now out.

Meeting two scout leaders & one Brownie leader on a late night "what do you mean, Food Tech tomorrow?!" shop.

Soggy taco supper. The scrunch is good but licking hands clean has its own satisfaction.

Big hugs to all those as need them & if you're not feeling quite the article, a goodly chug of virtual brandy.

mhagster

I'm adding a pleasure......just sat and watched 3 whole episodes of Downton...forgot to feed my children apparently ...however, I think they are old enough to see to themselves when their mother has 3 hours of telly to watch!

The baboons are flying around this morning. There is talk of nonsense. Just heard, there is a fair in town. I hope that is what was said. Bring three and fourpence, we are going to a dance.

5 Good nite at the camera club last night. Much appreciated talk from a Jay Myrdal. Quite inspiring, though I think he is not as good as me. So there. Well, maybe not.

4 Bee Sting breakfast at work. Please no telling Ms Whack, as I said I am soo nice, it would only make her think I ams greedy. Well, welsh black pud, beans, on man toast and egg. Cannot get better than that. Snorkers tomorrow gals.

3 zing weather? As we are not all burds like the SPARRA, and can fly south for the winter, just make sure you have lots of coal in and can chuck a log on the fire. If not, check and bleed the radiators.

2 gether with Ms BoPsie tonight. I texted her saying I was Bee Sting at work, and she has text back saying the fridge was bare. Her fault I think, but I gave her some encouragement, I texted back the word ‘starve’ Dog house for BoP this very evening I think. Mind you Ms Whack has text me saying I am a bullyboy. Well, I will have to use a rod of iron when I gets home.

1 Wait until the odds are in you favour.

Kittikins - are you keen on the correct grammar too? (Where do you stand on the Oxford comma?!)[/QUOTE]

Ah, the Oxford comma debate! I had an almost argument with a colleague about that a few days ago - and as for 'ise' and 'ize' spellings... :rotfl:

A couple of additional pleasures for yesterday, to round me up to the full five:

4) The bonus question at the pub quiz was about student numbers at the local university - not surprisingly we got it right, so I'm now richer by one bottle of wine. :beer:

5) We also won some bottles of beer, including one of a locally-brewed dark beer which one of my team-mates took for use in her Christmas puddings, and she's promised us all a mini one each when they're ready. :drool:

PK - I think we will all want confirmation that you have spent today RICE-ing, with strong emphasis on the 'R' part.

DundeeDoll

Oo i love the colon and semi-colon, parentheses and quotes, and the Oxford and ordinary commas. :-)
