5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Frith

Well done, PK's Dad! A friend of mine's son has had headstroke today too - it's a nasty thing.


Pleasures for today (Wednesday already).


1) Another long sleep for me and 11 hours for smaller son.


2) Watched a bit of Wimbledon here and there.


3) Took smaller son to Sainsburys to see if he would be tempted by his usual in the caf! for breakfast. He ate a hash brown.


4) Finally have some food in the house after being unable to do anything since Saturday.


5) Mum and dad's for lunch where smaller son ate 2 potatoes.


6) Bigger son went to his extra English class without any fuss.


7) Smaller son ate an enormous tea and has been grazing since then! He has asked to go back to school tomorrow :-)


8) Posted some Ebay sales.


9) Enjoyed watering the pots in the garden just now.

Help. Talking wall is going again. He has had to move out. It is worse than last night. I think the wedding is off. Do people watch this. Scrap the regressive TV Tax. BoP rant over.

Talking wall live latest. One word to serving wench, and the sound is turned low. Bingo. Victory. Two are inanely watching the talking wall. I think the people could still be apart.

Guys it is a bar. A talking environment. Talk, look, listen.

Good evening everyone :hello:

PK - great that you've spoken to your dad on the phone!

Pleasures on this incredibly hot day:

1) Home grown strawberries from the garden.

2) Went to the cinema last night at the local arts centre. Cheaper than the multiplex in the bigger cities nearby.

3) Hair cut. Not OS, considering the cost, but makes me feel so much better.

4) Water bill has been paid. :j :j I always feel virtuous once it's paid.

5) More TopCashback payable! :j :j

well its been hot hot hot!!! shouldn't moan - but its hard going in work! and everyone a little tetchy and over wrought! We Brits are rubbish with extremes of weather!!!


So pleasures for today:


1. Positive feedback on Dissertation Draft (I promise after next week It will not be mentioned again! even I am bored of the subject!!!)


2. Bright pink lilies given as a birthday present last week that were relegated to a coffee jar in the kitchen due to lack of vases(lots of flower presents) have been moved to prime position in the lounge by reverend mother today and have opened - the scent is lovely!!!


3. Managed to cut the grass tonight - been seriously lacking in time and energy to do it so it had got rather over grown - tried to find a gardener to help but decided to just bite the bullet and cut it tonight! Pleasure is that I have avoided a spend and feel good about it!


4. Reverend mother vacuumed and tidied a little today - much appreciated this week - just wish DD2 would step up and do a bit more too!


5. Planning a very cheap and unexpected camping trip with a few friends and kids - will be a great start to the summer hols and for me it will be another thing that I can prove to myself I can do without my ex!

Not long in -

1. Compline.

2. 1st h-g raspberry[this year] eaten.

3. Crimson hollyhock in bloom up through footpath - where did that come from?

4. I like Rafa being beneath the radar this year. Add Well Done! to Heather, James Ward and newbrit Bedene[engaging and sincere i/v today]and Team Amalie/Jonas version. No jinxing allowed.

5. Sitting out and finishing a book @22.23h[said &orrery], a book I won't forget:
Anyone else read this?

Peering a little in fast-fading light near the end, but accompanied, too, by Monsieur Merle working frantic overtime on night feeding and tweeting on no.2 shed roof with beak full of yums. No-one came out, so he flew back into the oak tree and I was looking up and hearing leafy night feeds happening against fades of powder-rose blush in a darkening sky. He came and went every minute or so.
How do the little ones go on once fledged? Do they just perch and dangle about until bedtime? Then fall asleep on a branch? How long before they become fully capable confident fliers?

The remarkable life of Sir Nicholas Wnton has ended. He was remembered tonight, too.

Hello all - been AWOL again

Don't even know the last time i was here - was it the day i got home?

Frith - glad DS is improving, what a mare
Mhags - 10 weeks??? You are doing amazingly well
DforV - love your tales of teenagers, with one of my own (one male variety anyway, the female version - at nearly 19 - isn't so bad), it resonates muchly

So, what pleasures

Glasto, Glasto, Glasto (sorry, McCulloch, you must be sick of Glasto talk ) I just love it, all of it. The clog dancing folk singers, the Indie Bands, the Brass band, Lekido Lord of the Lobsters (don't ask :rotfl:), The people, The food - oh the food, Nepalese, East African, Tibetan, fish and chips, Sheeps milk ice cream; spending time with DS - away from his Xbox, he really is rather good company; no emails, no cooking. That and ice cream town are my favourite places in the world - and i have seen a lot of the world.
The bath after i got home with 5 days of not showering :eek::rotfl:
Getting through the resit marking
Getting through the emails
The weather - "too hot" be bu88ered, it's only one day, make the most of it.
Having my hair done, got rid of the badger.

Have a great day all

Thursday evening here , it's blooming chilly and been such a cold and wet day.

Up early for hospital , not too long to wait to be seen and I took a UK mag with me, so that passed some time nicely. All going well ( so far) and we have a whole week off next week from appointments which will be nice.

Home via bakers shop, I bought a delicious multigrain sourdough loaf, & florists for a pretty posy of flowers .

Snoozette and a half! I was reading and then woke up at 4.50pm!

Then me and my children took a wander up to our local Thai restaurant where we've not been in ages , had a nice meal and had such a laugh. We were reminiscing about past holidays in Europe , lots of remember this and remember that and so much laughter.
I asked them all to make a contribution towards the meal which they were all okay with. They are all out earning money so I felt quite comfortable asking for it!

Back to work tomorrow ( blah! I'm sure it will be fine but blah! At the thought!) do have a fabulous Thursday and enjoy that sunshine!

mhags - am I reading aright? Is OH actually staying in hospital o/n for this appt?
Just nomb-ing as you and children ate out, but not OH[too tired?]...and there's that 'so far'.

Such progress and grown-upness on all fronts is worth a celebratory going dutch.
No more dd2 school miseries either:-)

Happy resumption demain from cloudy times and not what & calls hot here. Wimbo forecast is cack - now that IS important. Take care.

mhagster
