5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

CCP

Pleasures for yesterday:

1) Super furry-purry Isis, as she always is after a trip to the vet.

2) I needed a new mat to put Isis' litter tray on, as she had an accident on the old one (which is what persuaded me she really needed to be seen by the vet): I found a cheap one in the city centre and got an extra 20% off as it was the last one and slightly damaged. :money:

3) Finished everything that needed to be done at work by mid-afternoon, so spent some time alternating between entering some more competitions and playing with a new piece of software I'm trying to teach myself to use.

4) Soggy, but not snowy, evening, but it stopped by the time I was due to go out to the pub quiz so I could walk down without getting drenched.

5) Wonderfully silly conversation with a friend at the quiz, while I was trying to think of the identity of a particular football team:

"I know it's got an 'X' in it."
"Why?"
"Z."
"Let's start again: A."

Maybe doesn't come across in writing, but it had us :rotfl:.

Have a good day, everyone, and stay safe if you've got the white stuff (none on the south coast, sad to say ).

Not posted for a week as we went away for a few days.
Last Friday we went to Castres to watch rugby on the Saturday - it was good game but shame Wasps/Leinster drew so we didn't make it to quarters to lose against Toulon. It was the first match I've seen this season in snow!
Met up with Quins fans on Friday evening and before the match on the Saturday - very enjoyable but not MS.
We then stayed for a few days on the coast in an apartment which was a needed relaxing break and I did cook and we walked along the beach and a nature reserve - it was quite hard at times as was very windy.

Arrived home Wednesday night and yesterday had a coffee with a neighbour and long chat.
My dog came back from kennels and wanted to go for a walk and to eat - unusual but welcome. She is enjoying her home comforts.
Surprised at how low my supermarket spend was especially as I had to buy some coffee and coffeemate for DH to take to work.

Bedtime again! Just in and need to put the lamp off soon as will be up early for work.

Today I went to work, did a lot of work, wrote lists, ticked off lists , felt very unorganised at times ( not a feeling I enjoy) but everything got done.

Train home, only 2 minutes to wait and seats too!

Home with DD1's friend who works with me, I ran her home.....as I'm nice!

The happiest of hellos from the dog!

We were heading out to dinner at boss's house, we bought pizza and took them over,we had a very pleasant evening. DD1 is going to be doing some work for her so they were having a chat about that.

It feels rather cool tonight....obviously not cold enough for snow but cool enough to put the extra blankets on top of the quilt......one minute boiling the next shivering. As the ozzies do love their weather facts and figures, it's been the coolest January in x amount of years. Now we've had lots of warm days just not very, very warm as we usually do in January (40o+)

Do have a lovely Friday and it's lovely to 'see' familiar faces here.

Reversion Day

Lamps oiled and out. Castors visits, no one going to Paris to fetch my leather jacket back. left it there in late February 84! Furry Purry Isis gets new rug! Milk, careful now, as them emporiums, which are corrupt and bust are ripping off farmers. McC Tut Tut, naughty chair. Read BoP posts about emporiums. Judy, Jenmny sends emergency :heartpuls MsMoney Snow, Snow, No not here it has not! Vicky. Just look at BoP foods! No need for box of ogle to sell me!

5 Delightful to watch the Churchill State Funeral on ogle box this day. Not shull biting non entity celebs nancying around about tripe. Just words to take your mouth away from Richard, with comments from Ike, and Robert. To see Atlee outside St Pauls, waiting to accept his advisory, makes you think of the 5hite pile of carp we have! And remember, BoP has not watched the news on the Bolshevik Broadcasting Commissariat since 21:33Z 1982-05-03. It was a Monday, for reference. Nearly 33 years shill bit free!

4 Just watched the fantastic adventure film, One of our Dinosaurs is missing, very factual, as the thing beasted about Old London Town and elsewhere. How fitting that the Unnatural Blistery Musuem is going to remove Dippy from the foyer and replace him with a whale. I ask yous. It should be replaced with Paddington Bear

3 BoPsie, currently being starved, deliberately and forcibly by her doctors prior to her bum test in the morrow, is coping well. BoP has got her some of her favourite chocolate for the morning. Bourneville. Other chocolate is available!

2 Night, BoP is on reversion foods. Faggots, fries and mushy peas. Served with onion gravy. And you know how BoP licks his onions! Toe Nail style!

1 We have not moved into the broad sunlit uplands!

Emergency Edit Raffles, on seeing BoP's faggot, has gone loopy. Unfortunately for Raffles, the alley door has been secured. BoP shall eat without interruption. Raffles, continues to detect decent food at will.

There’s no snow here much to DH’s disgust
I would like to think I am reasonably tech savvy but just lost the lot last night so for today.
1. I’ve got the job offer through I start in a week, it’s a promotion, directly freelance and I’m excited.:beer:
2. I guess this is a pleasure to know things have been identified, my blood tests came back showing things to do with vitamin’s D deficient and B12 injections and kidneys, so I go back on Monday to redo the bloods.
3. Managed to get a new care company for DF, I’m meeting with them at his next week. Everything crossed.:)
4. Animals making me downright laugh.
5. Found a lost cheque to us handily.:rotfl:

Good luck to BoPsie for her bum test tomorrow:eek: and how thoughtful of BoP to buy chocolate for her! and I agree Paddington should definitely take centre stage!


Slept a bit better but had to endure a 2 hr meeting about marketing and social media! Got a fun filled weekend of assignment writing to look forward to (no coffee in bed with the baldy chef and his mate this weekend sadly!)


So pleasures today:


1. Managed to wake up in time at the end of this mornings meeting to make sure wool wasn't being pulled over my eyes about my budget!!! Phew!!! Disaster averted! Clinical budget secured and discover finance director has my back (good to know who you allies re in a new job - and even better to have FD as an ally):D
2. Was supposed to be studying this afternoon but stayed in work and put office blind down and read and printed articles in work (saving on printing costs!)
3. staying in work this afternoon meant my DD2 was home all day and cleaned the house saving me a job! :T
4. Friend messaged to say favourite wine on offer at local shop - rude not to buy some on my way home!!! (half price too!) great to have friend with same wine tastes to alert me to bargains!:beer:
5. Payday for DD2 so debts to mummy paid! Mummy has money in bank to do (4)


Happy Friday!!!! :j:j:j

Good evening everyone :hello:

Busy watching the great man himself. :money: ALWAYS a pleasure, but slightly disappointed that he's moved away from wearing stripy shirts.

Today's pleasures:

1) My bake off group in school loved making the gingerbread animals/people. Some went home with a little extra dough, much to their parents' delight.

2) My favourite sort of supper - boiled eggs with toast. Almost a guilty pleasure!

3) Picked up some YS croissants, which are now languishing in the freezer ready and waiting for a naughty treat.

4) Contemplating the ironing. That's OS isn't it? Just contemplating.....?

5) Cup of tea with a gin & tonic chaser.

Not one day this week has felt like itself and today is the least friday-ish feeling Friday there's ever been...since last time. On-off-on-off-on-off snow and ploughing of back field throughout.

1. Sirius working overtime against broad blue daylight this late arvo. & found self walking towards it in mini-version of We Three Kings - SHE, An-TI-po-DEE-EE-enne ARE . Jolly walking.

2. Card needed for YP, approaching b'day. Usual story. Into shop, soon laughing far too loudly at too many. Also as usual, joined by similar other and we were just bad, hopeless. Straight face resumes: Old b/w photo of sporting gels. Caption: 'The Cambridge University Netball Team decided not to abbreviate their name.'
Und so weiter....

3. Emporium Extraordinary Meetings are convening daily. It's an all-male Hooray Henry coven and & takes care not to engage, despite attempts by various of them.
February 9: Implementation of Change, is the entire Agenda.
More fine-tuning hints from lovely staff again tonight, whispered to &....:-)

4. Two beautiful white scented bouquets for widow neighbour tomorrow, soaking up to necks overnight chez&. [STRIKE]£15, £9[/STRIKE] rtc 75p and 45p, emporium prices.

5. CS chap mistakenly thought & was entering, not passing, and held door open. What to do but step through? Fates smiling. All skirts rtc £1.
3 top-notch vintage taken: 2<desirable Scottish weavers; other, c.mid-70s, BNWT priced £99, Viyella, fully-lined, still with yellow metal viyella waistband ornament.All then packed into excellent vintage leather briefcase with brass bound corners and keys, £10, but easily £50+ resale. Should come up well when & does her stuff.

My boys are 14-7 up mi-temps face à Bayonne, away.:T Steady &, there's another 40 mins yet....

No James Runcie talk next week, turns out to have been a dodgy website, besides which he has lived in Edinburgh for some time and events as listed are fictive, not putative:-). Still enjoying him hugely though and was astonished that story tape of this leapt out at me:
http://www.jamesruncie.com/writing/Discovery_of_Chocolate/history.html

Was in own CS for private mtg, pre no.5, and there it was. Also bought a waist-high freestanding horse...as one does. Can go with ditto penguin.
Both apparently doing well with young spendy types atm.
Must get back to Spits/Bermondsey asap:D, which depends on M's weather/market/liability insurance yea/nays.

Bonne nuit, with not the remotest sense of samedi showing up demain. Wonder what day it WILL feel like...

pk- great job news with Vital Added Confirmation. This time you can pass the luck>bop and special hugs for Jenny tomorrow. Faggotless Raffles is a Thank Goodness, given their reputation.

Forgot to start 'Just in'. Frith, hope you've had '1. Quite a good sleep' :-)

Oh good, Gloomsbury's just started:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mx2sp

'Literary comedy by Sue Limb parodying the arty and bohemian world of the Bloomsbury Group.'

So clever, so funny.

Oh & you posts do make me chuckle - I can imagine you in card shop reading that card - I had to re read several times to get the joke! (I'm too tired!!!)


I can picture your Emporium of Extraordinary Meetings vividly and feel a little sad that I am always on super speed so that I do not get to see these joys around us! You remind me so often to slow down! (Don't listen often though!)


Amazing finds in the CS - my DD2 would love you as she wanders round charity shops with great delight whereas I hate wasting time (cos I've not got enough! ever!) so rush on past most of the time!


No idea why you would buy a waist high horse (unless you were a Hobbit of course - but you always profess to be a witch - so a tad confused!) but I hope Spits does you proud with it!

& - to your room, disgraceful!!!
