5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Caterina

DundeeDoll, happy birthday!

Kittikins the Hundred Foot Journey was good, a bit predictable but sweet. Nowhere near Chocolat-esque, much lighter. Worth going for a feel good film, preferably on a 2 for 1 ticket!

Here's me today:

1. Bootcamp in the sunshine

2. Sunshine! Yeah, decent weather again!

3. Picnic with DH near his workplace

4. Dinner with all the family, DD included, came visiting after her work, then went to the cinema with her brother (on the orange weds 2 for 1).

5. Dinner was mostly some curry and chapati that our kind neighbour gave us, topped up by a kale and chickpea stew I prepared.

6. With DH to w8rose in the evening, bargain hunting. Great stash of quality bread and amazingly reduced goats cheese. Well pleased.

Good night.

Happy Birthday dear DD, it sounds like you really have celebrated in style xxx

......and I had Day no. 27 mind-fixed as your birthday DD, then somewhere along the line that became Friday in my head. So, late ones:-)

Bonne Anniversaire has been magnificently had, by sound of things and you have come through this turbulent year in style.

Happy Hugness.

Belated Happy Birthday DD
Absolutely right &, a stupid phobia I know and time I grew out of it! Thank you, the day went far better than expected. I'm glad yours did too, eventually
Caterina your dinner sounds scrummy!
You make me laugh BoP, I always read your posts last as they take me so long to decipher . But like you I very much appreciate real butter

1. A good run down to Henley and back, not a single hold-up either way!
2. Beat DB there, he arrived 15 mins after me so I pretended I'd been there ages, which was fine until he asked what I'd done
3. We needed to measure a rug and had no tape so all five feet of me lay on it, then DB did the 'one foot for one foot' sort of measure and pronounced it to be 8 feet long. By now we were laughing so much I couldn't get up :rotfl:
4. I've come back with a car full of odds and end to car boot, all proceeds will go to DM's charity of choice, plus some art things for DGD2 and a long black velvet hooded cape (think Scottish Widows advert) which she'll love.
5. Went to a fellowship meeting this evening, the first for some time. Received a lovely warm welcome from everyone which made me feel very cared for. You can't buy that sort of warmth

Sweet dreams

Happy birthday (a little late!), Dundeedoll!


Caterina - you've made me think of buying goats cheese tomorrow.


Pleasures for today (Weds).


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Helped brother pick damsons from 9-1. He picks about 2 tonnes each year. Last year they went off to the Duchy of Cornwall for jam.


3) Went into Ludlow and mooched around aimlessly.


4) Phone calls from sons.


5) Practised the concertina. :-)


6) Had tea at mum and dad's.


7) About to watch last week's GBBO.

Sounds like a lovely birthday DD

Another lovely day after a very cold and foggy start.
Another day of labyrinthitis ...hoping tomorrow is better , it usually lasts 3 days.

A good enough day at work and finished at 1.30pm and then home on the train.

Stopped at one of the 3 op shops ( did 2 others yesterday) in our wee town. Got a pair of 3/4 jeans for $1.25 ( about 60p)

Came home and sat out in the back porch for a while but it actually got too warm so I came inside.

Managed to clean one bathroom, tidy the kitchen and put the bins out then got waylaid chatting to my neighbour for about half and hour! They are moving house next week so I'm glad I got a chance to say goodbye.

Did my housework watching GBBO.

Just had a lovely macaroni cheese for tea.

Have a good day.

Missed posts, missed birthdays, Missed Sparra huginess, missed what!

For those that have been like sheep, and not like the sheepdog I have mentioned, here is something that will let you think again about being a sheep!
www.alsa.org

So now you know and you thought that your Buck of Face was?

BoP Sheepdog, not sheep! And an old sheepdog at that!

5 It always goes to the top. Last nights pork pie, matured, and cocoa and crumpet, with aged butter, dated Apr 11, and you see, no problemo today, I am backs at the Mine of Salt.

4 Watched a Robert Morley classic, being very dastardly and as it was filmed in black and white, not like Wednesday’s proffering in color, by delux, certainly and most dramatically true. Not sure about the rubber boots and bits. Was also a young Redgrave, Michael version as well. Well propagandist and flag waving. Dastardly as well.

3 Cannot believe we went oatless this morning. After alls I has said about getting your oats, we are cleaned out. Had to have golden flakes of fortified corn and milk!

2 Trouble at the winding house this morning. Seems to be a firewall and barrier preventing to magnificent words and wisdom of BoP being transferred via the interconnectivity of the ‘putah ether so others can see how brilliant I am. No problem, a short call to to our specialist support centre, located in a bunker on a hillside somewhere unknown to humanoids will have it fixed in a jiffy. Two hours later, still not connectivity.

Excitement in &land.

1. New box for putah has come. It is identical to laughingly condemned 2012 ancient one.

2. & being talked through installing by Bash, who is dazzled by &'s facility with hi-tech vocab.'Do you mean the litle grey round bit?' 'Is that the stumpy cream rectangle?' 'There isn't one' 'What does that mean?'

3. Obeyed instruction 'just pull out everything from that adsl filter'. Awaited next instruction. 'Right, done, next?.....Hello...Hello?' All gone. Obedience meant no phone line.

4. Re-start. Awaiting call back. [Bash doubtless last seen running, screaming, for the hills]

5. What fun. Will & even leave squat this week? At this rate........tbc.

Higher than the cow who jumped over the moon.


& Bells, whistles, magnetrons and sulphur. Has it got the lights flashing then now?
