5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Broomstick

Evening all:)

Five pleasures for Friday:

1-3. Flipping great 'aha' moment late afternoon about relationships, my future, decluttering, life, the universe and everything. Gigantic. Feels like a huge weight has gone. I need time to mull this over.

4. Interesting chat with my mum on the phone about Churchill and WWII sparked by the Paxman programme on iplayer. I remember watching the funeral on the telly at the time (in black and white).

5. Toasty fire, warm slippers, hot drink.

Sweet dreams

Pleasures for today (Friday).


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Snow nearly gone but giant snowball we made yesterday remains.


3) Gave the bathroom a proper clean, steam cleaning included.


4) Popped to see brother.


5) More sorting out of new account. It has been a bit of a pain. Today was sorting out a direct debit that a company had tried to take out of my old account.


6) Popped to B and Q for more paint for tomorrow.


7) Sainsburys including a chat with the lady on the checkout who was also quietly fuming at the nasty woman dragging her 2 year old around and shouting at her. :-/ I told her my sons say "LOOK AT THAT NASTY WOMAN" at times like that and she said "If only we could all get away with saying that".


8) Bigger son had DTP injection at school AND meningitis C but seems unscathed except for a heavy arm!


9) Made chicken fajitas for tea, followed by cherry pie and custard.


10) House quite clean and tidy.


11) Bigger son went role playing with my brother and brother in law.


12) Did enjoy the Last Leg.


13) Cleaned the windows (this no longer in chronological order) which has made such a difference.


14) About to listen to the Now Show, in bed with hwb.

Much cosier nights sleep with 2 extra blankets on bed but woke up at 3am screaming in pain with a cramp in my calf.....OH has no recollection of this!

Work was fine, went by quick enough ...that's me done for this week.

OH came along on train had a coffee then drove home in my car. As I drove to work today, turned the corner at the brow of the hill where I see the city in the distance and there was a huge hot air balloon, quite fabulous.

Straight in and straight back out, we took the dog to the nearby parklands, we drive a suburb along, walk to the next suburb after that and then back again, probably takes around half an hour. Lots of lovely birds and trees. Met a selection of dogs and their owners ....different reaction from Haggis each time.

Then straight in and straight out....this time to supermarket . We've not done a proper shop in 2 weeks so we are all stocked up again. Got a fill a bag with as much fruit and veg as you could for $4 , I get 4 turnips,1 leek, some broccolini, about 6 nectarines and an onion. Will make some soup for the freezer with it.

Little bit of a growl with my youngest daughter , she will start new school on Monday and maybe nervous ( probably) but her attitude is upsetting me. We are going without to send her there and would appreciate a tiny flicker of appreciation rather than her stinky attitude! I must take up her dresses tonight...hoping she doesn't grow 5" before Monday!

Have a good Saturday

Just dumped BoPsie at bum test centre. She is starving, I mean starving.

BoP rubs tum, eats a sausage bap in honour. Rubs tum!

yesterday was a good day.

1. I had a good walk with my dog and met a friend and had a chat and was pleased that the stick she was walking with was due to it being so muddy.

2. I spent some time in the garden digging a vegetable patch and generally tidying up. Also pleased to see that the daffodils I planted in the autumn are coming up.

3. Talking to my chickens while I was in the garden and cleaned them out.

4. Cup of coffee to warm up when I came in - drinking from my favourite china mug.

5. Roast chicken for tea.

ditto the Christian Union New Testament soc & two more from a student this week (the by enlarge was from external, native English, who is always banging on about foreign students' grammatical slips!) SPIKES is a pneumonic used for telling bad news and wither this is the case...
Good luck with job interview outcome bop and hope mrsbop's visit to the bum doctor has good outcome
yep doggy welcomes are the best mhags jarvie has got his bounce back after his op. he has to wear a t-shirt so he doesn't catch the wound (or his brother nibble it!)
so 5 for yesterday
1) usual lift not available. xoh gave me lift and we picked up my colleague on the way - he was on his way to the bus-stop. Had fun chat with him on our way in
2) new marker starts monday hooray. unfortunately one of my lecturers is looking on verge of collapse so have given new marker her marking rather than some of mine :-( but this marker is excellent so very good news she is doing 2 full days per week for us for the foreseeable. we have another one 2.5 days from april 1st unless she finds another job in the interim
3) we've had a student up for a week from norwich. she's a gp who also works at uea medical school, and had a week's study leave to progress her masters. as it was her last day we went for lunch to tay park house, which is where we used to work. lovely veggie risotto. £10 including a pot of ginger chai, so not too bad mse-wise
4) xoh got my watch fixed for £2.50 yay
5) xoh loves to cook for me, xoh is veggie, so food is veggie. every now and then i yearn meat. last night was one of those occasions, so cooked up some turkey mince (left over from last time jarvie was ill) and added a third to the aubergine stew. yum yum yum

My five for yesterday;

1. Doctors appointment with a trainee. Very nice woman, listened intently and answered all my queries.

2. Take away pizza for tea, used a 40% off code and there's enough to feed us again tonight.

3. Ian the dog playing in the snow.

4. Listening to the radio with grandad.

5. Watched Eat well for less and Death in Paradise. Eat well for less was interesting but didn't teach me anything new, good for OH to realise that from concentrate isn't that bad so he can drop the expensive freshly squeezed habit!
