5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Blackbeard_of_Perranporth

Just when you rolled over, and then there was a crash.

Seems not a lot of happenings this weekend. Bring it on. Ooood DfV You wanna the sticky chicken recipe? Who ate all the cakes? And Jelly babies. Head thirst I hope? Walki to the wobbleade emporiums and nosh. Two pints of best and a packet of crisps. No, the Kevin Turvey for me. Just when the fright reading from & was up to day, we get another three weeks’ worth in a shot! And loads of jam around the place. Hope it has real pips and seed in it. Oi, it not Wimbledon yet, so no strawberries. New tools PK? More cakes and applications. Good lucks.. Aye, &. But when it thunders and the ground reverbs with the rain. Raffles comes home at the end, all dry.

5 Fish New tatties, mushy peas for tea Sundi night. Now I hears you all ask, how do I make the parsley sauce. Well heres you are. Milk, ¾ pint milk, knob butter, whish up most in pan. In jug, three teaspoons of cornflour. Mustard, garlic pinch. Salt. Loads of parsley. Mix together and simmer. Carefuls it could boil over and make a mess. Now for them new tatties, a knob of the finest butter, best before April 11 2014. As you can see, no harm has been done.

4 all served with week old stoved soup. Fresh, not canned. And we used fresh bread as well. For enders, we had some spotted !!!!!! with fresh cream lumpy custard. No again people ask how I get fresh custard lumpy. Easy, you has to use delicate hands. Just like BoPsie, she gets when she does them dishes.

3 Now yesterday on the way home, and just to keep the record & has noted in good order, there was another incident on the way home. This time it involved 7 cars, all of Franco Prussian origin. They where slightly on a tilt, just on the hard shoulder as I passed. Hawks were looking. No caravans were in sight, and as it was not a Bank Holiday week, I can only suppose that the opportunity to remove one from the stock was not there. AS for the occupants, the driver of the transporter was aiding the nice man from ATFit in replacing his punctured tyre. Arhem you see, you all thought it would had been a pile up!

2 Days to go before the World cup. Now I hear a lot of peoples ask why so many car crashes at this time of year. Perhaps the crash is going to happen? Then it is regardless of the world cup anyway. But why not, enjoy it and have a bit of fun as well. Both of yers has to pick 16 teams. 4 from each seeding group. If you both want Brazil, you toss a coin. Then you get 1 point per place wach group finished in, such as bottom of a group, 1 point. Top 4 points, knocked out in 2nd round 5 points. Quarter 6 points, semi 7 points, 4th place, 8, third 10, second 12, winner 15.

Then you punt in 20pence per team, and see who gets most points. I will pot these up for you later. BoPsie and me will play live Scrabble, after the Engerland debacle on 14th!

My team to win is Mexico.

1 Millions of living mushrooms are killed everyday by vegetarians. You can help stop this slaughter, by eating bacon instead! And please remember, there is vegetarian bacon also available. Should be served with Spagyetti hoops.

This post was produced in a ruffian that has eaten Celery, Mustard. Soya. Barley, Gluten, Wheat, Nuts, Butter, Milk, other diary products, and other fibrous material over the years. So far he has suffered. If you suffer from allergies please wash your hands after scrolling down your mouse.

Now it was a knock on the door back in 82. Steve Marks brother had gone down. Later, After that, some carbuncle about lazy student was really irrelevant. Big Sis, had just finished hers and was unemployed. But today, we have the record all my actions generation. Good article in the Times this day, about going to a concert and recording it. JV on the radio last week was on about turning up at the school nativity play, and everyone getting out their mobile phone to record it. What for. I went to the Olympic men’s football final, notes here passim, and I went for the experience. I will never get the opportunity to do another one, and the earliest would be 2026, but I doubt we will get a look in. But I suppose I am not part of the all cuddle facebuck generation. Sits back and plays John Lydon interview again. That is it. We apparently just had a football match, for some world incompetence body. UNICEF. Budget well in excess of some developing nations, yet powerless to stop the rape of girls in Nigeria and enforced slavery. Yet we watch a celeb at a football ground, and pay for the privilege to do so. Same as the green token of redemption given at the checkout, not for your cash, but a choice. Absolution that you gave nothing, yet the profits the emporium makes served its CSR nicely, box ticked. Appalling when the clamp on the car earns more that the spotted self-service checkout overseer earns. Now, did I get a reduction for checking myself out, 10 minutes at , that must be. No, I will sit at home instead, drink my milk and wait for the cortege to pass. If it does, I will dop my cap. Then I shall retire, safe in the knowledge that two decent sheets of cardbored on the anti-personnel spike will cushion my rest. Then think of my private eye cover, delivered under wraps in 1997, and think. She went after the Chinese anti-personnel mines! Enough, but I recall moments in my life, and the visit to the Theatre Royal Lincoln, not sure if it was before Mike harding or not. Good, but not spectacular. Another leaves us. The rest bungle on.

Frith

Smaller son had autistic meltdown. So they cancelled his op as he had become a health and safety risk. We're watching steam trains now.

Surgeon down to earth and lovely. Nurses ok. Play worker. ......

DigForVictory

Frith!
*Darn*.
Are you OK?
Smaller son OK?
What helps you both/as a family get past the terrors?
Guessing you may be seeing a bit more of the very nice GP after all & *profoundly* hope that helps.
Wish I could reach out & give you a Big Big Hug &, through you, to sons.

ampersand

Oh, rotten pass, Frith. Tough on you all.
Great double-decker meltdown and total gridlock at 17~18h rush-hour, central bus area of Cambridge, complete with gigantic tow-truck and two big spill areas of something emanating from back nearside wheels/axle thingy...and I was thinking[in P&R wait mode, with best front seat view and close-ups] 'Now, this would be perfect for sons of Frith' and was hoping all was well.
Is there any chance that Bro can be an accompanying party whenever next attempt shapes up? Given that he's had same op....?
#
I'm with you bop[quelle surprise!]in not being with you on book of face and all of your related parlays [if I unerringly disinterred them]...is it possible? I believe so.

Big hugs Master Frith, and to you too, Frith Sorry the op had to be cancelled, I hope that it will go smoothly for him soon xx


1. Yay! My final uni tutor observation was brilliant I was so nervous beforehand but when I started, I almost forgot they were in the room and relaxed and enjoyed the lesson. I had told the children that Mrs B was coming in to watch me teach and that she may ask a few questions, and they were awesome, really did me proud by cracking on with their work Given that it was my weakest, or so I feel, subject, maths, I was overjoyed at how well it went!!


2. My first draft of an interim report to uni was expanded upon by my teachers, and they improved my self-assessed markings; I have 'passed with flying colours' at this stage


3. Both of the above have really made me realise that it wasn't me being a plum on my first placements, it was the beyatches at the school who, for some unfathomable reason, didn't like me.


4. There's a fab change of plan to the school timetable on Thursday afternoon - I'll get to have fun doing cooking with most of the cherubs in the school and the Head teaching with me sous-cheffing, and have 2 already-planned lessons in the bag for next week. Sweet!


5. I've been asked to teach a Latin lesson to the KS2 children next week

lovefullshelves

Ah Ampersand I have just visited Wikipedia, John Newcombe? I think I was a littley then. My earliest memories are of Martina, Chris Evert, John Lloyd. (I just had my Hawaii birthday this year). Ah, memories.

DD has gone to school camp today so I have skinheads on a raft for tea but have been hoovering up cakes and biscuits all night. Will have to visit the MrTs before she comes back as the cupboard is bare

Pleasures today:

No school run
No dementors
Total control of the remote
No cooking
Or cleaning (whoops)!
Lots of relaxing

A total chill out day :rotfl:

(((((((((((((Frith)))))))))))). What can anyone say except huge hugs?

There will be a solution found, I am sure and at least the common sense amongst hospital staff was at the right end of the scale. Better a non-empathic play worker than a snotty surgeon.
Interesting how trains are the safe place for so many on the autistic spectrum. TG for it, too.
Gathered pleasures:

1. Good company, both here and in RL. I have caught up with Ampersand's Antipodean Adventures now.

2. Usual pleasures of horsey things, Rummy progresses apace with his show career, more wins on Sunday. His owner could probably wallpaper the living room with his red rosettes and sashes this season.
His half-brother, stallion Pudding, Dad of my two, was looking very dashing on FB in a sturdy saddle, being ridden to keep fit for all his ladies... (8 this season, 6 done, 2 to go, last time I looked)

3. Still awaiting absolute confirmation of good news.

4. My new bush coat keeping out torrential rain and I can cycle in it. Not a pleasure that the mail-order company left the security tag on the coat. Luckily it was on a leg strap and I discovered it before setting off shop alarms.
Removed it myself leaving a tiny hole on the leg strap. I don't use the straps anyway. I did consider Googling 'how to remove security tags' but decided against it.*
(All the above written c. 7 pm)
11.40 pm 5. Just back from the live music club tonight. What a great night it was.

6. Remembered to right click and copy post in anticipation of it not posting. It didn't, but no rewrite needed.
*Since discovered some reasonably helpful YouTube videos. I would have struggled to do it, though.

That figures. Beeyatches indeed.
All that you were saying you were doing pointed to really good practice, they just didn't like seeing someone doing something better than them.
Miserable expletives. I am so pleased for you, KK.

Going back to something you asked earlier . Children's writers I wasn't a Noel Streatfeild fan. Monica Edwards for me.

I have happy memories of Eve Garnett (The Family from One End Street), Meindert De Jong (The Cat That Walked A Week) and Dorothy Edwards (My Naughty Little Sister) being read to us in school. I loved that.

I don't remember ever being read to other than in school.
My parents weren't native English speakers although both could read and write English.
However, I taught myself to read at three and a half-ish ; I have no recollection of not ever being able to not read, it's more common than you would think.

Needless to say, when my children were small, the house was full of good children's books that I read to them ,and my childminded children.
Many of them survived those years for my daughter to take them for her children.

A big, but little belated, welcome back to you ampersand
(((Hugs))) to Frith and littlest Frith
Just read the last page quickly, back from Croatia late last night (this morning) was such a wonderful week but now rushing off to visit DM who was taken ill during my last day yesterday so will catch up with all the posts asap.
It's good to be back in the fold x
