Having a little giggle at the vision of MrsLurcherwalker looking like a dandelion clock!
Passionfruit curd was an eye watering £3.50 from National Trust shop but it's ever so special
OS pleasures? Still struggling to make it to 5 but...
1) a very quick knock up of Yorkshire puds before this evenings work duties. By gosh they were amazing in stature.
2) enjoying (and wishing there was more) a simple cheese salad sandwich I made for lunch.
Sadly I think that is all today. Hopefully indulge more OS ways tomorrow.0 -

Congratulations ampersand on your new babies!
We got through yesterday ,we've got through today.
Much rain and much wind both days.
In at work today , did a 3/4 shift.
Got a very respectable $65 bonus from my crazy Sunday shift. Plus laundry money.
So many kind wishes sent to us. We appreciate every one.
Another big hospital day tomorrow .
Have a good day0 -
1) finding YS reductions in M&S this morning and then discovering that the plaice fillets I'd got have actually got a layer of peas between the fish and the breadcrumbs, yummy!
2) finding some really bargainous things for christmas presents and having enough housekeeping left to be able to buy them.
3) getting an unexpected phone call from our friend and her hound to ask if we wanted to go out walking with them today, was lovely!
4) finding birthday cards for all the family in one shop today so set up for next year now.
5) coming back home after our walk feeling battered by the wind and makiong lovely cuppa, which I'm just going to pour out and enjoy, CHEERS!.0 -

Monday was a lovely day and spent time in the garden with DH. I planted seeds and we cleared some rubbish and then we had lunch outside and just had a relaxing day with no pressure to do anything or do anything.
Yesterday and today I've worked but and cleared out some stuff in order to declutter. It feels good to get rid of some of the stuff in the house.
Rhurbarb crumble for tea which I love and made with rhurbarb from MIL garden.0 -
work today was bleuh but some very nice mse os pleasures
1) free lunch yesterday meant i had a portion of hm chicken stew in work fridge so had that for supper and worked late (yes that was a pleasure cos everyone else had gone)
2) band practice at mine. and went well. we got through our whole repertoire in 70 minutes. preparing for guitarist's daughter's wedding ceilidh next month
3) suddenly remembered we hadn't finished the christmas cake so that came out after practice. icing bit hard but cake still yum
4) vicar's daughter doesn't drink tea so looked through cupboard to see what squash we'd got and right at the back was 1/3 bottle ruby port. so we had that with the xmas cake (no-one driving)
5) then walked guitarist to bus stop with dogs in tow. good to catch up.MrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025
