5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

VickyA_2

Good evening everyone :hello:

Pleasures for the past few days:

1) Picked tomatoes from our tomato plants. Need to find something to do with them, other than eat immediately. Might put them into a spag bol...

2) Have had a tweet of support, for England rugby, projected onto the roof of the O2 Arena in London! Amazing. No guarantees, but all you have to do is tweet a message with #WearTheRose and yours might be chosen.

3) Walking to and from school daily. Car only used once this week!

4) Sausages from the freezer for supper. 2 portions of tomato soup taken to the in-laws, in return for feeding the cat whilst I'm out on Sunday!

5) Assembly for the start of the Rugby World Cup has been written for tomorrow. We're having a charity day and wearing a rugby shirt in return for a donation for Jeans for Genes.

6) Arranging to see a friend on Saturday! Can't wait!

Evening all, warm hugs for mhags, Frith and anyone else who wants one.

Day off pleasures

1. Waking up in the knowledge that asside from school drop off the day was my own. So of course I decided to....
2. Clean the whole house and catch up on washing. However it was very satisfying to give the toliet and bathroom a good scrub.
3.Cheeky tea break from scrubbing with a maple walnut pastry, cuppa and latest 50 ways to kill your mammy.
4. Scrummy home made pizza for tea
5. A nice bath, face pack, soothed the aches, whilst a cuddle up to poor hubby who was in agony with toothache ( and thanks to my endevours in the bathrooom, meant easily reached painkillers)was a nice way to round off my day off.
Night all xxx

Have been MIA with work and other busyness and come here to find C sneaking around, thinking of you more than ever once again Mhags. Frith, hope things get sorted soon and to all colleagues satisfaction.

I have a shedload of goodies sent to review from Amazon sellers to donate to raise funds for Macmillan at a coffee morning next week.
Local MP is organising it and I had a nice email from his office. He was a die hard Blairite, Tony having been his predecessor, but we shall not speak of such matters... He backed Liz Kendall.
Safe to say, I didn't and was on a high on Saturday.

I'm seeing 'my girl Boo' (Angrove Mumsbuns) and her full sister and half sisters on Sunday PM. Dr C no longer having a car - and he's working anyway - I've negotiated a lift with a friend.

The kindness of the residential home next door in taking in parcels for me. I slept intermittently last night, then woke late to the delivery guy's knock. No chance in getting up and downstairs before he had gone.

Your pleasures, thank you.

Waving hello from the land of hospital. Currently in short stay having spent most of day in A&E....hoping its a short stay...OH felt unwell last night, became very unwell through the night and we've been in here all day.
We've spent the day listening to doctors disagree about best course of treatment and poor nurses coming in and apologising repeatedly as things kept changing, anyway, hopefully home this evening.

Made 150 cakes!

Thankful for free hospital internet....weve watched easties!

Bluebells in the garden.

Triple Twirl...my go to treat at hospital.

Have a good day

Morning all.

Mhags still in my thoughts and prayers.

So to Friday.

1. Pleasure of another day off. Made inroads into my assignment work. Hit a wall when it came to statistics 😳
2. Yummy pasta lunch.
3 Escaping the rain after school.
4. Egg and chips on what the littles have christened wash bin Friday. So named as the little beggars don't need to hang up uniform but chuck it all in wash bin:rotfl:
5. Amazing discoveries on find my past free weekend. It's entirely possible my ancestors may have helped build the poor old titanic. (Silly iceberg, shouldn't have been there lol)
Much love xx

Hugs to you - i still dream of mum and, while it's nice to see her, the hard hitting truth on waking takes some dealing with. It must be even harder after a dream like that. Not me with the chickens - i wish...

Sending more strength to Mhags, and Frith. I feel your work pain, Frith.

Pleasures for the last few

1. Drove DD and friend who is staying for a few days to Alton Towers. THey had a nice time but it took three hours round trip to drive her there and OH took another three driving back. DD has her licence and has been told that this isn't going to happen again - she has got to get used to driving. Nice drive though
2. Finished my sideboard

3. Dropped piles of stuff off at the chazzer - kondoing the house is really showing effect now
4. Another Thursday, another workday. Pleasures? colleagues as ever.
5. Train ride to ice cream town yesterday, where i have come to write the PhD proposal. Sat opposite a blind woman and got chatting "I can feel the sunshine" she said, "I bet the scenery is beautiful" with a sad smile. Felt v. humble. She was lovely and we had a good old natter for the last part of the journey. That's why i love trains
6. Walk to the sea
7. Have done quite a lot of reading already. No title as yet Ampersand - it's on a theme of "women in Construction" but there is already a lot out there. I am thinking about looking at a training perspective - being a female who trains construction personnel..

Back to it - isn't it funny how distractions are less distracting when you are doing something you're interested in....:cool:

Have a great day all

Waving hello from the land of home tonight !

After a day spent in hospital , we finally were allowed to leave at 10.30pm , 12 hours after arriving. I'd been up since 3am and we didn't get home till after 11pm then ooft alarm went off at 5am for work! Hoping to sleep well tonight.

A busy day at work however I'm off tomorrow which is my first Sunday off in 15 weeks.....I may have mentioned it once or twice!

The sun was shining .

Chatting with some customers, she was Scottish, he came from near where my sister lives, she had worked there, small world.

Lovely chat with my sister, not caught up for a while so that was nice.

Haggis Dog's coat looking very shiny and deliciously chocolatey in the sun. lovely boy!

Have a good Saturday

MHAGS with you in spirit as we all are, with a hand at your back to give you support and our love surrounding you and Mr MHAGS whenever you need us (and when you don't)for as long as you need us!

1) Just been to watch Tonga vs Georgia game in the rugby world cup, magic atmosphere in the ground and amongst all the supporters before and after the match, wonderful stuff!

2) The most beautiful day here and my elder DD has just hung the hammock she had for her birthday in the garden, perfect for a day like this.

3) Going out for dinner this evening to a superb African restaurant and having African Beans and Ugali followed by Mandaze and ice cream, yummy.

4) Feeling much better than I have been for a couple of days and able to eat again, much better state of affairs.

5) My little Zebra child said 'Oma' for the first time when I arrived on Tuesday and kept saying 'Oma' all the time I was looking after him, priceless!

Generally BoP does not boast. Oh, and another :heartpuls down under.

Wicked Sideboard. Tonga Game. Just up road from BoP County. Oh no. Hide!

5 It is a nest week this week. BoP is off. Not going anywhere and cashed out. BoP motor, that is driven without conviction, is being retired. No more, replacement wheels are on there way. Sorted. Best I check my chest as it has been raided. New locks ordered. Brahmas!

4 Just made BoP Grumperland pies. Not like that carp stuff shown on box of oggle, but made with proper food. Pound of mince, this week chirpy cheap. Pound of diced carrots. Five pounds of spuds, mashed. Two onions, chopped, toe nail style, and all covered in cheese Tom. Rubs Tum. Cooked. Three unfortunately have been frozen for later. Tonight's was fab. If I say so me Sen! And afters, it seems that BoPsie had decided she no longer liked Apple tart,many thrown for the birds, I had to succumb to doing pud as well. Raspberry sponge, steamed. Fab. Rubs Tum. Served with proper Instant Lumpy Custard, made with milk, not kettle water foam.

3 Watched the rugby, and with Nippon beating the Bok, it dies not look too good for Scotland. Oh well, now watching the professionals!

2 Night the Town is being painted this eve. BoPsie is putting her rags of glad on. Should be good larf. More later. You can do these people things on nest week.

The few did their part today, as in the past, they also served.

Edit. Over the years BoP has taught BoPsie how to look after her bike, and tonight she had the tyre off looking for a puncture in her wheel. The wheel was still attached to the bike!

Oh no!

Tonga game was good BOP, Georgia has the most supportive fans I've ever come across too, was a fab atmosphere and wish we'd been lucky enough to get tickets to more games, sadly not so!!!

1) Home again, Oh home is nice, visiting is also nice but coming home.....the best!

2) Friends who moved have given us their wood pile which we've moved this afternoon. 3 large cradles full of seasoned ready to burn hardwood for this winter, that's what I call a present.

3) Just had a cuddle with Brodie the spaniel who lives next door, he's a fluff bug and very cuddlesome. He's a good boy and eats up all my gone over the top runner beans, so I've picked him a whole carrierbag full to scrunch over the next week.

4) Caught up on village happenings with my neighbours standing in the warm sun on the front lawn this afternoon, all is good.

5) The thought of a night in my own bed not being jumped on by a cat who says 'stupid human, get up and play, why do you sleep so much?' love him really but not at 4.30am!!!
