villagelife

Frith - your first day over Congratulations.

Mine for past couple of days.

1. Watched rugby on Saturday and we won - tense at the end.

2. Much time spent in garden - seeds have started to grow and more are being planted.
More digging but done in the sun.
Daffodils are still looking lovely and so are the other flowers.

3. My sister and family came yesterday - lovely day and sat in the garden and b in law gave us some ideas of future plans for lay out.

4. Tea tonight is leftovers from yesterday. Made a massive lasagna and also a smaller one for freezer.

5. Work reasonable today - morning great but afternoon meeting and boss there. I do frame comments in a way which I know will annoy her but which she will be unable to disagree with. I'm working at a different site so won't see her for over a week.

6. Seeing a heron fly past the window.

Extra surreal pleasure. Smaller son looked out of school window and Princess Anne landed on the school field!

(She was in a helicopter, not self propelled)

My pleasures:

1 . Kiddlies back to school, so a peaceful home to study in.

2. Plentiful supply of biscuits and tea to help with above.

3. Cuddles and walkies with Woofer when brain caved in.

4. Simple yummy tea of gammon, fried egg and beans. Cupboards are bare till online shop arrives tomorrow

5. Unexpected night off due to lack of work.
Hours shall have to be found but a pleasure to put pj's on and snuggle into bed with yet more tea (alas biscuits all nibbled:o)

Well done on completing day one of shiny new job Frith x

self propelled princess an :rotfl:
1) soup and egg sarnies for lunch courtesy of the cpd i'm organising this week
2) got a lift to town so saved the busfare
3) had lovely meal with good friend from poland. he kindly brought me a bottle of polish vodka
4) he's invited me to poland to run a workshop on research, trainer frameworks and struggling students in may
5) was going to give a beggar £2 and a young woman sed should buy food rather than give money. she asked him what he wanted and he said orange juice. she gave him 5 ciggies then headed for mr t. my bus was approaching so i gave her the £2. i figure even if she pockets it (unlikely) she's given him 5 ciggies. unless it's a clever scam to do people like me out of money.

Morning

I mentioned this thread on my new blog... And promised myself I would start posting.

Yesterday was a hard day... But here goes.

1. The friendship gained from virtual friends on MSE
2. The purring cat next to me as I do my sums
3. A picture sent by a friend of a place I long to be
4. The ability to loose myself in a good book
5. The satisfaction when I pressed publish on yesterday's post

Morning all - been AWOL again!

Back from the States and over the jet lag, got the back to work blues

Have been reading along and enjoying your pleasures, but somehow not managed to get round to posting

Frith - well done on your first day. bet you were cream crackered. Glad you enjoyed the ice cream in Ice Cream Town. i am off there tomorrow to hang curtains and generally do some soft furnishings.
DD - well done on your donation to the homeless person. So many beggars in NYC, one very plaintive "can you help me buy some food, I'm hungry" really got to me. I know you can't give money, so really wished i had gone to a coffee shop and bought him something. I will do it for someone in Birmingham tomorrow. I try to buy a Big Issue when I see the sellers - they are always so cheery and it's a good read for the price of a posh coffee.
VickyA - hugs re grandma

So, Pleasures for the last whenever.

1. Saw one final show in NYC. To be fair we got tickets half price and had done mostly free / cheap things in the day - went to see a show called "It shoulda been you". Cracking cast - including Tyne Daly (a la Cagney and Lacey fame) and DD's favourite Sierra Bogess. Laugh out loud funny and the best audience i have ever seen.
2. DD said it was the best holiday she had ever had - job done then To be honest, just being there was wonderful - all that we did was a bonus.
3. Given the somewhat terrible reviews of our airline (Norwegian) we couldn't really fault them. whilst our plane out was a replacement and somewhat beaten up, we had a dreamliner back - I slept for 4 hours :T It was cheaper than the next most expensive by £200 each, so worth the risk
4. DD safely returned to Sarfend in a somewhat lightning trip for us - deposit bags in room, take her for lunch, buy a week's shopping (£110 :eek: girl knows how to spend) and back on the train to meet DS in London (he had been to White Hart Lane).
5. Lovely walk with OH on Sunday, across the fields, swift half in the pub and along the canal back. Took around 3 and a half hours in warm sun.
6. work yesterday, a colleague and i were procrastinating by looking at a procrastination website. Oh the irony :rotfl:

Working at home today - better stop the procrastination!

Have a great day all

A day of much weather. Pouring rain to start , wind, sun, rain, warmish, rain, sun and now just dark but not feeling too cool at the moment.

Train...checked the seats on both journeys.
Work. Paid
Money tucked away in savings accounts.
Had to collect DD2 from school and then quick in and back out for her appointment....I sit and wait for an hour, took a magazine to read.
Beans on toast for tea!

Have a good day

vjm - 'a colleague and i were procrastinating by looking at a procrastination website.'. Immediate:rotfl:join-in by &.

Welcome Bm - we're a bit sparse on the ground atm[e.g. given bop's new workaway week, sparrer absent etc.] but this is a good, good Thread.

Def. not mse atm, malheureusement.

1. Car tax online worked at last.
Worsening probs.in this connectivity notspot. If they dare say & was overdue, have more proofs than I know what to do with showing multi earnest endeavour.
Couldn't finish it at village PO because of 'application started' on their machines.

2. Mr T reinstated &'s PAYG £15 credit after more ':pmild;)' encouragement.

3. Early out to pay £60:eek:, pick up 20kg sack of new Ruby Red - yumyum - raticide. Filled the brekkie bowls at once. On verra.

4. Burnt cauliflower - was trying to do damned Car Tax when nose spoke to & - but pot has cleaned easily and cauli is fine for cheesy dish, as planned.

5. Last night's divine mushroom/leek/fromage frais/bacon/viognier invention followed by fresh melon and pineapple mixed by &, no gas-filled food industry prepped pretend-'fresh' stuff for &. 'Nother reminder - http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/feb/21/a-feast-of-engineering-whats-really-in-your-food.
Artisan loaves were all rtc 6>15p - bought and delivered on way back. Good talkywalkie around friend's garden, progress and blossoms and 'where did that come from? haven't grown those for years' all duly noted. We enjoy these times. Passed on James Runcie's Vol I Grantchester Mysteries for her sister, who's been wanting to read him - happy 20p find at w/e.

6. Getting very angry hearing disgraceful torytrusswoman trying to teflon lie her way through Martha Kearney. Stop & - apoplexy-free territory here.

7. Best go and stand at kitchen window again - nonstop in and outs by robins and blackbirds and collared doves atm, mossy, &hair etc beaks stuffed. But they can't all be building in coralux corner, so not really understanding atm and can't really disturb/investigate.

8. Saw ambulance outside person's place again earlier, but cannot do more. Had person accepted bed in specialist place as fought for[scarcer than hen's teeth]by GP in last fortnight....but no. Vicar, & and others do not fail person, but person has only to listen and accept what has always been rptdly implored....

Must get cracking again.
