5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

mcculloch29

Will try and find time to catch up with all the news, I have been busy with work but also struggling a little bit. My mojo has been absent. Gave myself a good talking to and things do seem better. I was so sad over Robin Williams though. Adored him.
Just from today, then:
1. Music club, packed with talent, new faces and great music.

2. Cycling in reasonable weather to go shopping - windy, but no rain!

3. Catching two deliveries by managing to get downstairs in time after a late start this morning. See below.

4. My joint pain levels were high this morning for no apparent reason but have dropped spectacularly. The relief!
I think I may have discovered a food trigger for my arthritis, tomatoes. I had a very tomatoey meal yesterday. They are known to cause problems for some people. Worse things happen and I may be wrong but often we are semi -addicted to what is not good for us.
I adore tomatoes, I also adore fresh bread and that can make me ill, but in a different way. I'm not an 'allergic' sort of person so this is something new to think about.

5. Another re-released Monica Edwards 'Punchbowl Farm' book in the post. Paid for with survey vouchers. This latest, Punchbowl Harvest, was the first one I was given, aged about 11 and I became an avid fan of the series. One of the characters has my first name, which was something that got me hooked.
I also got sent some gadgets to trial for my phone, courtesy of putting my email address on Am@zon. A very quick and steep learning curve has followed.

Morning Everyone,

Newspapers giving too much information about Robbin Williams. Poor soul.

5 for yesterday....

1. Stayed out of the supermarket.

2. More decluttering done. Bin bag in the bin. Stuff sorted and stored. Have to get it finished today!

3. Someone replied to the ad I put on Preloved. He wants the wood from the trees we had cut down. Will collect when we come back from hols. Hope he is genuine!

4. DS2 went to BMX training. Seems to have got his confidence back after breaking his foot. Good chat with other parents while watching. Got v cold standing watching, so.........

5. Got takeaway on the way home! Not MSE, but no clearing up.
Couldn't warm up , so went to sit in bed instead of putting heating on!

Have fun!

For yesterday:

-did some weeding.

-picked and ate some lovely tomatoes from the allotment,plus some more fennel and a courgette still to use up.

-read some more of my book.

-a sunny day all day,quite a rare thing recently.

-got chatting to an elderly lady,out walking her ageing blind dog whilst clutching her zimmer frame.She told me she was 94 yo.It's quite sobering to think that she's exactly twice my age.

-felt quite tired towards the end of the day,so allowed myself the luxury of not going swimming.I plan to go today.

-a reasonably early night.

1. College salon and all-bus day=npd and n-gris-d.

2. Poor connectivity and drops/losses of all sorts seems the phone/net norm here now. At last have ems of beloved Uncle[90] and Aunt's[82]just accomplished month in Oz, around Brisbane/Gold Coast, with cousin as driver. They say my phone and their msgs are refused, just as I have found from here. They had a wonderful time.

3. Bit bullet, but fury does not abate. £90 has had to be found, scraped aside for 'speed course'. & apparently maxed 34 mph on rural entry to Cambridge @0533h on a Sat. It's that or £100 fine+3pts on licence+insurance fall-out. Oh the world will be a safer and juster place after 23 September. It disgusts, enrages, nasties me.

4. Found printer ink - missing for months.

5. 600gms BIG framboises picked/frozen.
#
sparrer - thinking of you, making then/now parallels. Give yourself special care today and/or allow it to be given you.

Welcome back Tealady, lovely to see you posting again

A teacher's planner eh....is this some bit of stationery that has as yet passed me by? Linkie please, house elf x

Yesterday was a lovely day.....

1. DD and I went to an arboretum and had a lovely few hours strolling around.

2. We saw an amazingly beautiful caterpillar and wished we had fresh batteries in the camera...

3. I made a scrumptious picnic which we ate on a bench in a glade.

4. DD discovered that cartwheeling whilst wearing a rucsac is quite tricky!

5. She's also now really enjoying her keyboard practice and gave me and daddykins a concert last night

6. Mummykins is feeling better, hoorah.

7. More great library books.

8. DD and I picked up leaflets for local events and have found some very interesting things to do over the next few months, starting with a Viking day at our local museum on Saturday

Not as good quality, or as pretty as the Pirongs, but good for what I need. I have to be careful not to feed my stationery addiction!!!!

Can see why you got the planner- my school buys those silly spiral bound diaries for us. Has everyones weather now gone peculiar (oh I do like that word)?

1. I've found pleasure in not having anything to do when I get up.
2. Watching old movies like High Society.
3. Booked another theatre trip for September
4. Done a bit of retail therapy in preparation for Autumn- now I hope it all fits.
5. My dad has had the boat repaired so can continue his grand adventures to Greece.


Soooo can someone remind me now or tell me what I should be doing I feel bad as a teacher not doing much- too much time for me is bad lol
