3. Have only bumped into one chum in the uni library today, but better than none!


4. Have crossed out a lot of things on my to do list....shame they were just the 'to do for school' things and not the full, including uni list. Ah well.....


5. Have listened to a lot of fab music through headphones whilst working


6. Have also snuck in a few choccie biccies whilst working


7. Have bought a hat/bow tie to be the Cat in the Hat on world book day - thank you bay of eeeee for being molto cheap


8. Have also bought DD's next piano book - she wants to try and finish her current one during half term, apparently!! Roll over Beethoven, here comes Miss Kittikins

I’m sorry I lost yesterdays post.
1. Work has been a bad doozy today, I nearly resigned, but when I came home and got animal snuggles it almost made it worth it. I counted the months thinking not long to go.
2. Just chucked a veggie casserole on.
3. Bought a fraction of the price maxi dress in the hope of sun this year.
Ohh and just phoned up BT politely saying considering I pre paid for the year why where they charging, so they refunded and say they have sorted it.. Honestly you have to watch the bills like a hawk.

4. Sorry I am going to stash 4 and 5 for easier days

Lovely news about your OH, mhagster and your MiL, Pk.
DfV, I didn't mean the whole lot in one go. :rotfl: It's just that they have the whole series of Sceptred Isle and you book them out per 3hr (ish) CD equivalent.
sparrer, thank you.

Five pleasures for Tuesday:

1. Heaps more snoozing and feeling rough so gave into it. Glad it's half-term. The pleasure was more sleeping!

2. Am still feeling over the moon about the library audiobooks and consequently am not so miserable any more about radio iplayer. Found a lovely collection of short stories to listen to after Sceptred Isle. Have also discovered that they let you download onto CD so I will be able to listen in the car. I will survive! :j

3. Clean sheets on the bed.

Pk, thanks for the idea, I shall stash my 4 and 5 as well for a day that is a bit more energetic.

Sweet dreams,

B x

Evening all

Mhags - glad things were more positive than you feared
PK - hugs. Nil illegitimi carborundum (or words to that effect)

Pleasures for yesterday

1 got me bits waxed - sorry BoP TMI:o
2 DS went off "line bashing" on the trains with his free pass. Had a nice day with no probs
3 teaching went well, with my "cheeky boys" group
4 OH and DS came and met me from work and we all came home together
5 yummy chicken stew made from the carcass of Fridays dinner

And today

1 OH and I drove into Town together (trains are up the spout from our town this week, so driving is Much more convenient)
2 teaching went OK given that I didn't really know what I was talking about - although, it seems, in the end I did
3 took DS and DD shopping. Spent £200 in a matter of moments :eek: on uniform, shoes and jeans. DD drove and DS behaved in the back seat
4 there was the most amazing rainbow Over emaness. The whole arch, In glorious detailed colour, reflected.
5 prawny pasta for tea.

Contrary to previous retorts that BoP was in danger of getting close to losing three Scrabble events on the bounce, this message is to inform followers, that dispute of the current Ms BoPsie agility, without aids to her eye site, to beat BoP about the bush, at Scrabble consistently, BoP is able to state.

I won, again!

Thus, I remian complexly the beast Scrabble player, undefeated, on this part of the parish.

I think you

Hugs and hugs, pk. 2 spares means 7 tomorrow, after a lovely sleep and more furrety cuddles.

1. Extremely purple today in new-to-me velour trousers, ditto purply multistripe Per Una bolero/cardie and beloved ancient Norfolk jacket which was never new even when I first had it, easily a decade ago, purple leather boots, purply silk scarf, purple cashmere other one and red streak in hair peeping from purple-clipped up plait. Felt v. Jenny Josephs.

2. Thought of you kk. Think we would have shared this pleasure. Have listened to France Inter all day today. Mid-afternoon concert came with i/v with Prof. Michael Lewin and Miloš Karadaglić after a glorious rendition of de Falla. It was in Eng., MK having studied in London, so sim.trans was employed. There was a perfect point of 'mot juste'. He: 'When I work on a piece...' Trans:'Quand j'entame ma musique ...' such a delicious verb to use-and that possessive. Utterly French. I loved it.

3. Spoke to NZ v. early. Could have been wrong, wasn't.

4. Found new sassy-lady-comical pinny in CS for the famberley box - part of their over-ordered crimbo stock? £17 down to £1.49.

5. Ended up back at saddler where monogram was blind-punched onto something. It's been a real saga getting this done. The old 3 tooled gilt letters across bottom r/h cnr doesn't seem to be standard or happen anywhere now. It's all done by laser for gun-stocks, saddles, tack etc., but this is no good for calf-skin wallets.

6. Another lost Fen pitstop on way back - watched flaming sunset, livid vermillion/orange. Scampering bunnies. Roosting domestics of crows. On France Inter, Marseille had worrying moustiques, never before known at this time of year. Much worry over unseasonal warmth mixed with floods, storms, typhoons. There's a run on citronella.

hwb here:-)

Oh, nearly forgot - dfv. At same CS, picked up way under-priced 1929 First World Scout Jamboree book. This will be for my Queen's Scout cousin. Marvellous sepia print, stirring text and terrific photos. You would be snapped up here. Every rare so often there's a village mag plea for more Beavers/Cubs/Scout helpers.

bop - cited for ungentlemanly conduct.
Game forfeit UNTIL the good Lady Bopsie etc.etc.etc.[note those 3 on the trot?]

Will add that in Bank, dear Simon said 'Don't tell her anyone...just cos she's gone and made 300 plus against India. &: 'Oh, I haven't done that since I was Brian Lara. Have I just done it again?' Simon: 'You've saved an impossible match.'
So, bop - today my name is Brendan and I'm an asboloot Best of Threee. Don't mess wimme.

Good evening everyone :hello:

PK - huge hugs and I hope that tomorrow is a teensy bit better.
Kittikins - I am in awe of how much energy you have! I try to have that much drive, keeping lists etc, but never seem to tick much off. Your DD is lucky to have you. x

It has been a second day of "lurgy proper" today but I've had to get on with some things. So, pleasures for today:

1) Paid a cheque into the bank and a couple of bags of 5ps and 1ps. All goes into the holiday fund. Where can we go with £6??

2) Spag bol vat cooked up this evening. Seven portions in total: 2 eaten this evening, 4 for the freezer and 1 for my lunch tomorrow.

3) Watched Mamma Mia this afternoon. Sang at the top of my voice, badly, out of tune but no one was here to hear, thankfully.

4) Listened to Ben Ainslie on Desert Island Discs. Another really interesting one. I know that things on the radio iplayer page has all changed, but the DID page is really excellent and you can search by decade/song artist/subject or even date.

5) Ironing of DH's shirts done. Just the rest of the ironing pile to go.

Tomorrow I'll have to do my planning for next week. However, I've declared that it's "Colin Firth Day" tomorrow so I'll have the BBC Pride & Prejudice on in the background.
