5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

You’re my brother

Well, I has bin on about it all week and I mentioned Skid Marks, but it was good to see it from a differing angle. That of a person, well two actually, that were in a country that was suddenly at war with their own country. And how it affected them. Though it started, and I think it was such back in 1978, when they, as a team were kind of isolated from the outside world of Argentina, into a team that was to win the World Cup. Yet is also talked about the regime of the time, a Junta that was removing subversion. Ironic, that both Ossie and Ricky Vila both came to England after that, and lit up the football, especially after RV was substituted in the FA Cup final in 1981. The following Thursday night was history.

Then a year later, in late March 1982, as people tend to forget, that Junta was facing mass unrest, as people were questioning the policies, the policies that had seen hundreds disappear. That June Steve marks tapped on my door, after a long night with the Vulcan. His brother had been lost on Sir Galahad.

We move on now, thirty years, and Ossie goes back to his Uncle, after receiving a letter, from the airman that though he had shot down Ossie’s cousin. You cannot be a pacifist unless you’ve been there. They eventually went to the Falklands, and drove to main Argentine cemetery, and found his cousins name inscribed in the stones. Touched and closure, of a loop that had been around, since the loan at PSG in 1982.

How ironic, then something’s happen that you are not wanting. In peace, having closed the past, their journey back to Port Stanley was interrupted by a roll and a flight to the hospital

Then at the end, as the credits rolled, the name MJ Marks GDSM was clear to see.

You’re my brother, we do not have to go to war.

Bins a bit of a bumping ride around these shores this week.

5 Pancake tossing day yesterday for tea. Chirpy and cheap, cheap. Served with fresh oranges and icing sugar, dusted with Coca, proper stuff, from Bville, not that packet foam variety. Even BoPsie had a go at tossing a couple of pancakes.

4 Watched a film, classic. You should had seen the size of the mountains in Sherwood forest. But the goodie removed the bad ugly tyrannical regent with a swift couple of lunges of his sword. The Bandit of Sherwood Forest. And the castle absolutely magnificent. Hand BoPsie laughing, well I think she was laughing or it was Raffles purring around.

3 Yesterday, Raffles, more of a tom than other cats round here, excluding of course Friths cats, that, allegedly, are a hunting pack.

Raffles, king of the hedgerow, strutted, or as Bopsie described it, swaggered his body, down the road into the hedgerow and returned unharmed. Unfortunately, the chick was not saved. He was fed about an hour beforehand.

2 I read again, that another report has come out stating that we will all be well past it come this Christmas. How ironic they keep coming out with this absolute garbage, yet allow the futile sale of foamed drinks to children in school. Sow, harvest and reaper.No attempt to remove the Glucose syrup from society.

Anyway, why do I mention this, well see PoP post passim. Blood sugars tested just recently, and people stare should I not be on them! No, yet again no. Now, I has not put you of that foamed chocolate orange drink have I. I fear the back of the store cupboreds getting lost in dust as refusals grow.

And in other Bullocks news, if you drink proper Cocoa, see above for variety, every night it increases your brain awareness and thus, you could end up like BoP!

1 Bleating sheep

And the Junta, rightfully removed by their own kind.

And I'm off!

Back to the land down under where women glow and men plunder.....you maybe have to be a certain age to remember that song!

We've had an amazing trip but I'm ready to go home to Oz now, just wish it wasn't quite as far away.

The weather has been fabulous for us....I will have a wee winter tan when I get back to work!

I have enjoyed every mouthful of everything I have eaten....I have eaten a lot and put on weight! It will hopefully come off!

I have spent a small fortune but seem to have got a lot...needed to buy another hold all!

Will catch up once I'm finally home and have regular, all the time internet!


I'm off to tesco to get myself a packet of prawn cocktail crisps just before I go!

Vision of Mhags in shop in Brussels, but vegemite. No no no no no. Has to be Marmite Sandwich

Hope Isis is on the mend x


1. Sunshine!


2. Did the school run both ways


3. Went to uni library and had a lovely time


4. Managed to persuade DD to do her keyboard practice without too much hassle....


5. A not-looked forward to family visitor for the weekend has been cancelled as both parents feeling under par, phew!

CCP

1) Received an email from the OU formally offering me my degree. I'm not going to accept the offer just yet, until I know whether my appeal will be successful and bump me up from a 2:1 to a first, but it's still exciting to see. :j

2) With apologies for the slightly unsavoury nature of the following - came home to find that Isis hadn't used her litter tray while I was out at work, which means she's recovered from the bout of cystitis. :j (Thanks for the good wishes for her, everyone. :T)

3) Phone call from an online wine company offering me a reduced price case of wine as I'm such a good customer - actually I only buy from them when they phone me up with an offer like that, but they don't seem to have cottoned on yet!

4) Looking forward to dinner - ravioli with prawns and courgettes. :drool:

5) Friday, lovely Friday. :j:j:j

mhagster - have a safe trip, and see you when you get home.

Life is good.

Frith

1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Smaller son had a good day at school. Nearly all his class had their transition day at the local high school (smaller son is going to a different one) so there were only a handful of children left. They made pizzas, cookies and fairy cakes then ate them for lunch!


3) Had fun getting my friend's daughter a 10th birthday present. She is very into loom bands but wants to start making jewellery so I enjoyed getting all the beads and wires.


4) Went to the scrapyard for one of the new car parts needed to pass the MOT. It's set miles from anywhere, over a canal and the sun was absolutely beating down and reflecting off the hundreds of cars in there. I don't think I've ever been anywhere so boiling hot! Anyway, the chap got the part off the car and I had mentioned one of the MOT failures was that one of the indicator lights isn't orange enough (!) so he gave me a bulb for nothing. :-)


5) Appointment with smaller son's lovely GP. Smaller son already refusing to have his operation. GP said we could pop in and see him on our way home from hospital and he will supply a cake!! Unfortunately smaller son had already panicked and left the room at that point.


6) "Special" fried rice for tea (or rice with peppers, onions, celery and gammon from the fridge).


7) Went swimming with sons and my brother.


8) Bingo in the village hall. Brother won a box of breakfast things and we won a box of sweets!


9) Looking forward to the News Quiz.


10) Sons played in the garden while I did some watering.

Caution Men at Work!


Speical fried rice, with celery. None, not in BoP is not! Library rooms, shhhhhhh. No notes to tinkle on the Joanna!

5 Snorker filled Saturday, with toast, bacon, eggs and mega amounts of Mushrooms. Chirpy mushrooms. Two bags at W8rz, for 18p. No Spagyetti this week, tinned toms instead.


4 Washed down with tea and Jam on toast. Anyway, was in the W8rz last eve, I I did note, they has lots of thye Marmite stuff, none of that cheap import called Vegemite. Just like those soft Kookaburra balls as well.


3 Last might we watched a film, Crooks in Cloisters. Ms Windsor was in it, and I do not think it was real as it was filmed in colour.


2 day I will be mostly gathering feathers up in the yard, yes Raffles has had one of those weeks. Nearly the time of year for his jabs soon.


1 Don't take the fire from your eyes.

Carry on then, Business as Usual
