5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

LaineyT

1. Clearing the huge pile of ironing that had somehow accumulated, boring but satisfying when completed.

2. Standing, looking out across the fens and seeing just how many birds were wheeling around above my head, they seem to be having so much fun, playing on the wind like funfair rides.

3. Quick but satisfying shopping trip to BuryStEd, hour on car only as that's the limit of patience for jostling etc.

4. Brushed cotton sheets,mmm cosy.

5. The warm gingery smell pervading the house as the cake cooks, always improves if can be left for a day or two but hard to resist.

Kittikins

1. The weekend (it's been a very long week!)


2. The NHS - ear drops for an infection I thought was just wax, free flu jab, as thanks to me muvva I'm eligible (the benefits of being a carer:)
3. My bed - the flu jab has made me feel pants and flu-y but to a nice comfy bed!


4. Himalayan tigers on Beeb4, gorgeous creatures
5. Fun wrapping presents with DD, doing early chrimbo with DB and his GF next weekend.

It’s my birthday and it’s one of “those” big uns, we planned to spend the day out, but we also decided to bank it or another time when we both feel a bit better and it’s not cold/snowing. Pffft I sound old.:o
Friends left a little gift they had made and it’s gorgeous.:o:o
Surprised by gift and feeling very spoiled.:cool:
We went out tonight thinking it would be lovely to go to our “usual” Cantonese where we celebrate birthdays not local to us and as we discovered no longer there.:rotfl: Best made plans, I am now chilled at home with a baileys on ice.:D
I bought a lottery ticket

from which, Le froid arrive dès ce week-end avec une chute vertigineuse des temp!ratures. Attention, choc thermique! says more than & needs to know. Paris vigil next w/e semi-likely. Can't not. Back to la Place de la R!publique.

1. 'Giles Wemmbley-Hogg, 2 m's, 2 g's, goes off', just finished.

2. Various things, although arduous dealing, fell into place today. Lit up by chance sighting of new papa, for whom I'd left baby's h-m crocheted gift with x at last night's mtg. Lives near-ish, will deliver. New papa[teacher], sleeping little, Mum [surgeon], ditto, meant they apologised for absence hier soir.

3. Listening to Luke again - see la Sainte d'aujourd'hui :-)

4. Park and ride...was the intention of not just & en route back.
So, this one, then that one, then another and t'other dropped off the leccie scoreboard.....+60 mins waited themslves out before along came Big Red Bus.
At which, from the assembled crowd there arose A Mighty Cheer!!!
He couldn't take all of us....oh, dear! Then another 40 or so ignored at next big stop [multi-retail outlet].

5. &bed awaits, double-hottied. Wont be in it long. Off to Ricoh Arena, Toulon vs Wasps, and intend allowing triple time, in view of Spooky Men's Chorale cauchemar drive in September.
Lainey, sparrer probably, will understand....need only see slightest mention of A14 to recoil and run fast other way.

Bonne nuit:-)
Sainte Cecile now, so more Luke.........

Frith

Happy 21st, PK!


Pleasures for today (Saturday)


1) A lie in! Apart from our wheelie bin getting blown into the road at 6am.


2) Sons off to their father's OK and lots of texts and skyping from smaller son,


3) Did lots of washing and changed the beds.


4) Went into Hereford to start Christmas shopping! It was very festive as it never really seemed to get light today so the Christmas lights looked good. All the Welsh hills to the right (as I drive in!) were covered in snow. Had lunch in my favourite caf! and bought various bits and pieces plus some stocking fillers.


5) Stopped at Ludlow on the way home.


6) Pie and chips from the van.


7) Lots of TV watching.

PK....sounds sensible to me .... hang on though is being sensible worse than/part of being old :rotfl:






Happy birthday PK ! :bdaycake:


Kittikins .. hope you feel better soon - it sounds like you have a similar lurgy to what I have just had and I haven't had my flu jab yet ...


1. after the rain Saturday was a bright sunny blue sky day - lovely to look at until you stepped outside - by gum it was freezing out there :eek:


2. beds changed and managed 3 loads of bedding dried on the washing line albeit almost blown away by the howling gale


3. walked to the shops first time outside for 3 days - not sure it was such a good idea as the cold gave me brain freeze and my nose was running down my face by the time I arrived - had to buy tissues in a hurry


4. fishcake and chips from the chippy - not very MSE but they were lish


5. had a good clean, tidy and hoover round (had a lie down afterwards :rotfl:)
