5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

villagelife

Worked yesterday morning and enjoyed it especially as it was double time. Liked the people I worked with and there were plain chocolate digestive which someone had kindly brought in.

Spent the morning in the garden and made another compost heap with some pallets which my neighbour has given me. I also started to take up leaves for leaf mould. It has been lovely day so far and the chickens were helping!!

More soup made for next week lunches.

Enjoying the rugby - pleased All Blacks won but pleased premiership is back.

1) Waking up at 6 (really 7) this morning and getting up to make tea, looking out of the kitchen door and seeing two close (well relatively) together really bright stars (probably planets) hanging in a blue velvet sky.

2) Fried eggy sandwiches for breakfast.

3) Lovely walk in the sunshine together this afternoon.

4) Rugby on the TV, pot of tea on the table and the woodstove alight, pure heaven!

5) Having a really good sort out in the kitchen, reorganising the work surfaces and things thereon and getting rid of a few mostly used jars of herbs and spices has made it a much tidier place to work in, can only be good no?

Good morning from ridiculously early o'clock

OH has surgery today so we have to present ourselves at a suitably early time at hospital. So up before the birds to get ready and then to commute by train and tram. I will hang around city till he's done as no point coming all the way home to go back in again for visiting....will be as cheap a date as I possibly can!

Yesterday included a very busy shift but no work for 4 days or the far and distant Friday!

Sending much positive thought to the MHags house.

Some pleasures at the weekend.

Time spent outside - poottling round my garden, now everything is quietly settling down to sleep have time to tidy old pots, sweep out shed and generally just mooch around.

Trying to catch falling leaves with my dogs, the spaniel just runs round but my older girl really " gets it " as it's something have done with her since was a pup, wouldn't think she was 11 as races around, does the heart good.

Watching the birds takings turns on the bird table, so many in the hedge waiting for next sitting, then four pheasants appeared yesterday morning and had a tidy up around bottom of Apple tree where loads of bits had fallen down, luckily spaniel was asleep on bed

Time spent with family - warts and all they are my history, at times it works, at times it doesn't, yesterday it did and was good.

Goodness Monday again, how did that happen?!
Know what you mean vjsmum the travel excitement wears off, not least cos senior management don't seem to realise it means you can't do so much of the day job while you're away! Due to major restructuring of our programme I'm keeping my passport hidden!
Had a very busy but great fun weekend. Must now be a bit quieter both money and calorie wise! But for the weekend
1) Dundee Literary Festival - friend was in session Friday evening, so went to see her then we went to Oshi Bori for dinner
2) Saturday, another friend in another session 4pm and a crowd of us went. Again excellent, then onto Queens (where Churchill found a caterpillar in his food - they still have the letter!) then onto a very nice Italian then back to one of friend's for drink nibbles and chatter. Back home 3:15 (oops) which would have been 4:15 without clock change
3) One of Saturday's group gave me a ticket for something they couldn't go to Sunday at 11. Again excellent, and met up with an ex-colleague who took voluntary severance from School of Education and is now ready to take on some part time tutor duties. Yay!
4) Went to evening Eucharist - Celtic style. Beautiful
5) Calling into surgery to pick something up for xoh and hearing a patient roaring with laughter. I guess his funny bone is fixed then
Have a great Monday everyone x
