5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Blackbeard_of_Perranporth

Now were was I. Oh, I have been on a divot week. Well, fiends, no more. The Salt Mine beckoned again. As such, the agility of the yellow thing may diminish over the next few days. No worry though, it is fully organised for Easter.

Pubs and baby, All for a quid, baths, suds, risottos, drained batteries. You need to be off the same time as BoP. Chips day! Look, round here it is Porage and Snorkers, OK! Especially Mhags. Did you not note the box with the Scotts man on it. It is PORGAE. And a summer top grab as well.

If I missed you off, tuff.

Now I will sit down with my crab and claw sarnies and tells yous lot what life is really like and, what you miss out on.

5 Bah hooo. The Salt Mine looks … Fortunately, it seems the password protection for the PC had expired while I was foraging on the moors and basking in the sunshine. No worries, I just throw the lappy to IT and they can sort it out/

4 There, sorted just like that. No problems, now for those pesky emails. Here they come. No too many, only 85. Where is the delete key. Sorted. If it was important, they would ring. The important one has bin answered! Bonus approved. Good, hit that pocket. Nite out for mes and BoPsie coming ups.

3 We finished off last Friday’s chilli that was brewed on the stove. It got as close as 6 feet to the fridge! And BoPsie thought it was the beastest ever, with loads of curdled crustiness to go with it. Now, the only thing to look forward to is the SpagYETTI hoops.

2 Nite is a Scrabble nite with BoPsie. She needs to win two games to be within one of winning three on the bounce. Show your support in the usual way.

1 Imagine how much junk gets through!

OS Pleasures?...hmmm. They're taking a while to brew.
OS will have to mean precisely that i.e. deffo not current.
No. the current NOTs are here-
1. Bankcard wallet where?
2. -in bag with library book, present Sat night, so where since?
3. Too late to enter quiet place hier, but walked around it, saw many violets.
4. Yellow thing has freezing edge here over last few days bop.
5. Leave blank for something nice.

CCP

As yesterday, sooo tired.

1) Took a packed lunch to work today, which isn't something I do very often at the moment.

2) Watching a blue tit on the bird feeder when I got home - by the time he / she finished, there was another one queuing up for a go!

3) Sent my OU tutor an email to let him know I'm struggling a bit at the moment, and his advice for my next essay was basically "just do what you usually do" - perhaps not very helpful, but very comforting that he just assumes I'll do fine!

4) Doing my favourite veg burritos for dinner tonight, which would be a nicely healthy option if I didn't like them best with a lake of melted cheese on top. :drool:

#5 can be held over for another day.

ampersand

Are we in same boat ccp?
yours-#5 can be held over for another day.
and mine - 5. Leave blank for something nice.

I'll add more NOTS -
1. Pistorius theatre. This is not how justice should be travailed. It is not a gawpers' soap. Les tricoteuses, anyone? Not your knitting, dd.

2. Evans' trial, more lcd tabloid muck - 'He couldn't resign. It was not a convenient time'. That's about the sum of it.

That's Radio 4 nudes, just now....hArrrrchurs instead. Jill's embedded. Ian and Rob? - don't think so - and he doesn't like stirfry veges. Raffles - ears, eyes away now. Ruth womb-en-o-pause? Tony's bêtes are mooing.

I'm weary and cold. hwb. Lent still holds.
Sweet dreams all.

Kittikins

Didn't get the job but once I get over the slight dent to my ego, I'll bounce back, I always do! They were very nice in their rejection of me, and liked most of my lesson and lots of my interview, so that's good to know.


Feeling stressed and fed up tonight - the "Week 4 of placement" blues have hit, and I'm feeling under-supported by my teacher at school, who appears to be good at the criticism but not great at the constructive part at the moment I'm upstairs avoiding re-writing tomorrow's observed lesson, which has to be done, as basically it's rubbish....ho hum. Kind of want to give up on the course tonight.


But, on to the good things!


1. Avoided eating chocolate today


2. NSD


3. Managed to wait until my teacher/former teacher (who's co-observing me tomorrow) had left school before blubbing!


4. Lovely chat with mummykins, who said 99.9% the right thing all the time, bless!


5. Scrumptious cuddles with DD, she didn't say a word, just hugged me


6. I'm hoping to meet up with one of my oldest and loveliest chums for lunch on Saturday

kittikins Cheer up! 'What's for you won't go by you' is my motto...if it's meant to be then it will be...doesn't always feel easy/ good at the time. Things have a way of working out just right in the end. Look on it as good interview experience, build on from their feedback , for next time ....and the time after that if necessary. I know ( I really do!) how disheartening it can be but onwards and upwards ( another Mhagster motto!) x

Patchwork_Quilt

Sorry about the job Kittikins it will all come together.

1. Lunch was a gf sandwich made from a yellow sticker salmon portion.
2. Went to the allotment after work to dig away some of a bad mood: I was able to think over something that had annoyed me as well as pulling out some weeds I had been trying to remove in the autumn.
3. Finished The Paradise Wars by Stephen Lawhead on my kindle - this month's Book Club book at under £3.
4. Wearing my favourite purple top. I got it from the charity shop and have come to realise it must be a maternity style as it seems to have ruching around the tum but it's such a lovely shade I don't care.
5. Tea was not MSE as we went out but we did use a voucher and got £6 off, which is handy.

Keep going, Kittikins!


Had a bit of a weird few minutes at smaller son's school this afternoon. :-/ He's had a few days off recently with infections but I have been told not to tell anyone what is wrong with him. So I suppose I have been a bit vague at school...


Cue 2 TAs and a teacher tonight pretty much demanding to know exactly why he had 2 days off this week. :-/ It was all rather uncomfortable. Then I had asked (a week or so ago) if I could go with him on his school trip next week. Although I do like ThinkTank, I asked to go because SMALLER SON had said he would not go unless I went. Cue same trio being rather strident, saying they had re-worked Mrs F's rota so she could go with him, so I wouldn't need to, and after all, I wouldn't want him to be different from the rest of the class by having his mother there, would I?


Er, no, I wouldn't, and jolly good, but what a strange way to go about telling me!


Anyway, pleasures for today:


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) TAs told me smaller son had a good day at school. Smaller son told me he didn't and he felt sick all day. Who to believe...


3) Went into town for a cup of tea with my friend.


4) Did about an hour of digging on the allotment. I can't believe how the man in the next allotment has got on! But he does have his wife/sons/grandchildren helping.


5) Had a letter offering me lots of election work in May. :-)


6) Bigger son went to play with son5 next door and I could hear the laughter from inside my house! Turns out they were being silly in the garden with some squirty cream, including getting some up the window which made sons 2 and 4 cross which amused them even more. Apparently, MrN had to tell them off and make them clean it up. I knew nothing of this so called bigger son in (as we were going out for tea) in the middle of the clean up. I must admit I did laugh rather a lot when I found out that MrN might actually have to get a cloth out.


7) Went to mum and dad's for tea and to play cards. Not only has the phone line in the village been on the ground and useless for a fortnight (tree fell on it) but now they have no television reception either!


8) Been playing the piano a bit this evening.


Still irritated about school!
