5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

sparrer

1. Painted the Shaker style headboard and chandelier, both were old and a bit rough so after one more coat in the morning they'll (hopefully) look like new
2. Yellow stuff all day, washing dried on the line, both cats stretched out on the patio - sleeping, not drying . It was 25c in the kitchen at midday and still warm now so no ch yet. Long may it last
3. Had a mail from my media provider asking if I want to pay my line rental annually again. At a saving of almost £50, yes please!
4. Taking mcculloch's advice and burning three beautiful silver candles in the candelabra, they're reflecting in the antique mirror and are making all the silver and mirrored photo frames sparkle and the sheesham sideboard gleam. It was very worthwhile remembering what she said. Only trouble is I don't want to go to bed until they've burned down!
5. Lots of little day-to-day thing to round off with, nsd/npd, made a cauli cheese with bacon bits for lunch tomorrow, we'll have it with Cumberland sausages and new potatoes which are scrubbed and ready to cook, weighed fat boy Finn and he's lost almost 1/2 a kilo since I brought him home (only another 2kg to go) ironed the new duvet set ready to go on the bed when the paint is dry tomorrow. Can't wait to get back into my own bed but for now I should to snuff out the candles and make my way to the guest bedroom

Sweet dreams

We all knew our kk was the brilliant teacher that Vicky also epitomises[with extra CAKE] - lovely reading.
Vicky - I can look online, use Good Old Faves, but I'd like to have your idea for congregation cake to make last w/e Oct for Vicar's 2yrs with us. I'll do it in an adjustable rect. block tin[2 brought back from NZ - don't seem to find them here, v.v. useful]. Ideas?

Ooh, no pressure on me then! If it's a rectangular tin then either do the double chocolate loaf cake (BBC Good Food recipe) or a marble cake. We had so much conversation about the swirls in the marble cake, which sparked further discussion. Then again, both have chocolate in... Are you able to tell what my favourite cake is?

Lovely idea for a thread, thank you
1) lie in with cats and a good book
2) windfall apples cooking for a pie later
3) compost bin fed with things that can't be used as leftovers
4) a pile of stuff made for regifting as xmas presents
5) cup of tea and origami with my 11 year old

Right, it is fuming here.


Welcome TeaPot.


5 As it is Saturday, Snorkers are had, with bacon, Mushrooms, Poached Egg and SpagYETTI. Washed down with tea and Jam on toast. Fills you up for the day.


4 Fuming here, as the Pud of Xmas has been mixed, and is now laid down to brew for a few days to get some curdle on it. Fuming, I mean fuming, but since the frogs sold exocets willy nilly, not mixed with Brandy, pure unadulterated malt. Bells, loads of Bells. Fuming! Raffles go a whiff and boy, he is well into Sunday.


3 Steaming later, so maybe a picture to follow: -


2 Bloooody Man City. Had a decent wait on there to reliease my wallet and plaice a wager on em. Darn fools scored far too early for numpties to affect the rpice. oh blow. Other one doing well. Note to readers, bet your house, you can afford to lose it!


1 Put your finger in the dyke and it will stem the flood.

Noted that the Bolshevel Broadcastrating Commissariat is already appalling for its money extraction show. Not on the day I put the poppy on the car!

Stop BoP

Film on CH5, 4:10 pm. Mossies. Bloody hundreds of Mossies. (You had to know about Lord Trenchard and his lines to understand!). Damn will have to grapple with them dastardly Germaines again!

Get well poorlies.*

1. We had all the bits left over so made a full grilled breakfast this morning, as we were up early with loads to do all be it “separately”
2. I ploughed on and jet washed the patio, then any garden bits, and sideway of the house. Cleaned up the windows and sills, weeded and set dinner on to slow cook.:j
3. We skipped lunch as a big breakfast.:cool:
4. Had lots of help from the animals while doing these bits, it took at least twice as long but was so much fun:rotfl:
5. DH spent another day on the car this time hopefully putting it back together and making it roadworthy, on the plus side it’s a nsd:p.
6. Online chat with MIL
7. Edited to add DH wanted to test the car make sure it was ok so I go him to give me a lift to Mr T (2 birds one stone), a bit late for rtcs but still picked up a few leftovers of 2 x 40p sandwiches for work next week, a pound for fresh free range chicken being chopped up into portions, 1kg of chestnuts for 50p, and errr 6p for 5 doughnuts, well they needed a home, and of course what we went for fresh bread and milk, ops.

Fuming this morning with the Pud.


Now I am STEAMING



Bittern at Standish today!

Great news, emporium has removed a horror product. Boycott ATSM and buy no evil. Check out @FaceEquality on twitter.

ampersand

Not long in, mild as,...love it. Lots of yellow thing

Vicky, Tigs are leading Ulster 22-3 as we speak.

In any order -

1. Mmmm, the emporium rtc stuffed mushrooms and tuna salade niçoise just consumed[total lash-out 79p]were scrummy combo.

2. & net-less again after y'day. Fine in morning. Dead by evening. &gave it new wire things and all sorts, but no go until yet another lengthy talk-through this a.m. No explanation from provider who again comments 'Oh yes, you have a lot of trouble there. I can see it on the records', but I thank my lucky stars for their 0800 freephone no., great persuader when choosing those umpty years back[+Martin's recommendation]. It's gold-dust in this Fenny deadspot.

3. Out for 10.30 start and 2 jumbles/fêtes. Bits and pieces. I fancy the vintage 1941 Army rucksack, personalised, with old metal shaving mirror with central hole+green buckram slip pocket. Good Spitalfields tucker. Good Jaeger silk h-r square - a biggie.

4. Well, neighbour's little runaway chipmunk is still alive and well. Out enjoying the sun yesterday, perched on &'s former pergola struts, beautiful with the sun burnishing his back stripes golden. Told neighbour. Would have taken pics, but was so late in from Spits on Fri a.m. that all I had brought in was self - no camera, no phone, no bag, so still no pics. Set humane trap out on &'s [already overgrown again]verdure o/n , but this morning it is moved 3 metres left, empty of yummy baits and unsprung...sounds about right:-))))

5. Will shortly hang out new-to-me bottle green towelling bathrobe of reputed swank. &'s previous, similar sourcing[i.e. jumble] was recently flung down on a fast-spreading tide of smashed bottle red wine. It didn't really recover, despite 2 double boil/bleach washes. Everything billowed dry o/n last night. Fingers x'd pour ce soir.

6. dd- so you didn't feel you were losing half your hols in nightmare gridlock from Queens along The Backs to Trinity, &did it for you today. Thinking 'Hooray, couple of hours to while away, spot of this and that, thermos green team+nana, watch the home match: Shelford 3rds vs Luton 2nds. That'll be a nice way to go over my finds, read a bit, enjoy rest of day.' Thanks to gridlock, had barely 10 mins to spare. 1.25miles=70mins, post jumble no. 2. Heard sth about car on fire blahblah, break down blahblah...
Still glad I went. 20-30 spectators, all of us highly vocal, experts natch, only too pleased to assist referee. It really was a good match - last minute win 41-38[and the 1sts were beaten by your lot pk): Canterbury].
Even better then to know AB's pulled it out of hat over Oz[which is always the very Best Win]29-28. Lovely Malakai Fekitoa, one of the new greats, did the job.

How will Toulon fare against the Scarlets demain?

tumptyteapot = terrific name and ditto post:-) Bienvenue.

bop - another great pair of pics from you. Love b/w - very Night Mail.

When is i/v no.2? I still can't upload pics from new canon ixus150 for Fitzwilliam em. Stopped in at House of Horrors aka pcworld ce soir, en rte back. All went perfectly well there, not here though.

Who said sth about mozzies? Loads of them about during last fortnight - just clapped another infinity sandwich in front of my nose.

Night all.

dfv - hope son and you are all pretty much back up to par.
broomstick - I still have that prize of tickets for this one:
http://ftmlondon.org/ Do you feel ready to have a think on it yet?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...just as Night Mail comes to its end with WHA's poem. 1936, ground-breaking then, holds its head high now.
