5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

judi24

Beautiful day here - felt positively summery! Spent the afternoon tidying the garden and at one point almost felt like lighting the BBQ! Felt a bit down about my single status thinking it would be so nice to have someone to share the joys of maintaining a house and garden! Hey ho - onward and upward - just have to get on with it!!!


Sorry to hear you are having a difficult time mcculloch - hope Dr C gets sorted and can be independent soon!


1. Lots of Yellow thing - and even felt warm!
2. Lazy morning with the other chef on TV
3. Delicious chocolate muffins made from chocolate I had hidden in the baking cupboard - DS helped and now knows where the chocolate stash is though!!!
4. Screen ban for DS didn't make him grumpy at all - he helped in the house this morning and made a great job of clearing the raised bed in the garden - rewarded with a friend sleeping over
5. NSD - which is great for a Saturday with the kids! resisted the call of the take way on the way home from picking up DD2 and made kids sausage and chips and me curry from the freezer!

Mcullouch Hugs from over here as well.
Judi: Sharing the pleasures of home owning - that’s a great way of phrasing it, made me smile I hadn’t thought of it like that until then…
1. Made the most of the weather by weeding a boarder but only one boarder as I started to squish crocus’s in the lawn so gave up but not without a big bag of garden rubbish.
2. Two loads of washing on the line to dry.:)
3. DH was working on the car, while I took the chance to read a chapter on the kindle.:cool:
4. Watching you tube old footage of a “caraboat”:)
5. Just ordered in the so called “free pizza”, but stuffed crust added and of course the sides, and peanut butter ice cream that I am sure will errr last a long time:rotfl:, I forgot the little ones were out, the delivery chap literally jumped a mile in disgust, animals are good at filtering out people.:o
6. Just had half a pear cider it must be spring, nearly…:T

1. A beautiful day! Spring is almost sprung
2. 3 vases of daffodils in the house
3. The fridge and larder have been cleared of all 'naughty' foods ready for the new season's eating plan. Looking forward to it
4. To the theatre this evening to see The ELO Experience, thoroughly enjoyed every minute
5. Back to a friend's house with a Chinese, ages since I've had one and won't have another until I can get into my summer clothes

Sweet dreams

Agood day.

1. I had a chat with a friend on the phone - she has been ill but is improving and sounded very cheerful.

2. Up early and made lentil soup and have frozen it ready for lunches. It makes morning so much easier.

3. A lovely walk to the station - it takes 25 minutes and across fields but spring is on the way.

4. Watching rugby and we won.

5. Seeing sisters with their faces painted - the eldest about 10 had a really pretty, glittery, flowery face and her younger sister had a vampire face. It amused me how different they were.

Frith

Best wishes to DrC. (Brother of Frith is also 31 and it seems nothing will persuade him to leave parents' of Frith house. There are a lot of arguments about it, it seems). Sorry to hear about the fall downstairs also. :-(

yesterday:

1) beautiful sunshine
2) morning spent with dd (6) as ds was at a party, in the park looking at flowers and climbing trees (her - in a party frock and flip flops!)
3) treated us both to a snack in an old fashioned tea shop and we took some spare welsh cakes away in napkins to finish in the park on the way home
4) garden very much waking up, birds singing and skittishly fluttering around
5) friend popped over on bikes, and the children made a den in the front garden.

it's back to weather as usual now (grey sky, light drizzle) which is good because now I'll get some indoor chores done and won't feel hard-done by about being inside.

have a lovely day everyone!
