5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

mhagster

Evening all, not as hot but still very warm. To be high twenties next few days which is copable with.

Chit chat with friend this morning.

Ironing done, washing out and that was about all my housewifelyness managed today.

Popped into physio to update DD2's physio on specialist appointment and then left her to do her Pilates, went to bakers for rolls. Florist for posy and said hello to my eldest daughter as she was heading over to work.
Ate a nice roll for lunch, watched the film 'Creation' about Charles Darwin and had a discussion with DD2 later on about it.

Snoozette

Nipped over to salon for my eyebrow wax.....ouch!

Then home and currently boiling spuds to make corned beef hash for tea.

So a rather quiet day off number 3 spent. Have been sent an email about a possible job opening from my friend, will have a consideration of that.

Do have a good day, I don't have to set my alarm for 5am as I'm not starting until 11am tomorrow.

1) We came 4th in the quiz last night BUT we won the snowball which was exactly the same amount as the winners prize, WooHoo!!!

2) It's much warmer here today and the sun is shining at the moment, I have primroses out on the front lawn and saw a thrush in the big birch trees at the back this morning too, super stuff.

3) Small video from the Zebra last night via his dads phone to say Happy Birthday Oma, total magic!

4) Housework done, ironing done, supper defrosting, coffee finished, Cookie to walk after lunch, nice.

5) 2 magnolia blooms fully open on a tree up the road, beautiful!

Frith

Oooo, 2 hwb tonight!


Pleasures for today:


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Traffic light traffic not too bad today. A water main had burst, hence the sudden chaos.


3) Training day at work. OK but nearly fell asleep at one point.


4) Went to my niece's first birthday party :-)


5) Went swimming after tea with sons and my brother.


6) In bed already as tired out.

Happy birthday mrs LW
PK hope you are feeling better now
Judi - time has to be right, it has taken me years to get to this point
Mhagster - welcome to the old fogey club. Tho I do like my contacts

Pleasures for last two

1 looking out on a cold clear landscape from the train. Sky blue pink.... Sky , frosty ground, perfect winter landscape. I am coping very well with this winter so far.
2 walking through London, always feels like a foreign country.
3 workshops for PhD - tough but good
4 saw a single daff with head bowed and a solitary yellow rose on an otherwise bare rose bush
5 good walking, I have probably walked 9 or 10 miles in the last two days.
6 lunch from Planet Organic (or might have been Organic Kitchen) yesterday (lentil salad with feta sun dried toms and walnuts, yum), eaten in soho square where "the pigeons shiver in the naked trees" a la Kirsty McColl
7 a little boy and his dad this morning having a conversation about "birdies" . Dad "look, the birdies are having their breakfast, maybe you should have eaten your breakfast like the birdies"
Little boy "Noooooooooo"
Dad "I like birdies"
:rotfl:
8 Lily O'Briens Uglies bars. A family favourite. I now have three off various trains. Taunted DD via Facebook
9 knitting and watching telly
10 OH gone mad and booked another holiday, - a few days in the sun in grand canaria. DS has different holidays to most schools so flights were dirt cheap

Off to ice cream town tomorrow. :j

Have a good evening

sparrer

1. The recently bought sc was awful, I know they're meant to be slow but 2 days to cook veg? Returned it and bought another one for less than half the price. Remains to be seen if it's better but it can't be any worse.
2. Waxed, tinted eyebrows, roots done, mani, all for £7 and a loaf of hm bread. Thank you for your help lovely friend
3. Went to 4 garages locally looking for an air pressure machine but every one was OOO, unbelievable. So I went to the local tyre company and they did the tyres for nothing. Had the car valeted, as it was my 8th time I got it done for half price.
4. I've been searching for some weeks for a grey bag to match an outfit, all to no avail. I was browsing in a shop yesterday and the sa brought out an armful of them, all reduced from £45/£65 to £5. One was perfect, so a very happy sparrer left with her bargain purchase
5. Very cheap entertainment - the mog has been sitting in front of the television for the past couple of hours just staring at the screen. The funny thing is I have the radio on, not the television. I wonder if Classic FM has sent him into a trance?!

Sweet dreams

Thanks VJsmum - I know time isn't right - work is manic and probably going to have an interesting couple of years with DS and DD3 - I guess I have a dream of moving out of management and into academia at some point and this would be my way in! I also sadly quite enjoy it and I think that's cos I haven't really got any real hobbies (result of many years studying I guess) - it will be there in a few years if I still feel the urge I guess (I might have got over it by then!!!) - good to see you enjoying yours!

Pleasures:


1. Its Friday!!!!


2. I got through today without killing anyone - I came close!!! But resisted! My job would be so much easier without staff to manage who do really silly things!!! (just as well its a minority!!!)


3. I have wine!


4. Having a little Burns supper tomorrow - DS was trying to read Address to a Haggis in his best Scottish accent over dinner tonight - was hysterical!!!


5. Some of the conversations we had over dinner made me giggle so much! (about teachers unfortunate names and contents of teachers handbag that included a condom - OMG teachers have xxx! No way!!! its ok she only about 30 - would be different if she was as old as mum- she hasn't for years and years! Have you??? No you cant have!!!) maybe you had to be be there!

ampersand

Just did the usual replace-Thanks which sporadically disappear in blotchy batches, from here. & doesn't see it happening, so apologies as always if any missed.

1. News Quiz just over. Different:cool: ambience under DOM Miles' surveille and just as thoroughly splendid as ever. Return of J Incorrigible H always cause for sanity, esp. on Putin. Let's say & composed Jeremy's Rantorio for him ce soir, 'cos he is pitch+word-perfect on that loathsome scrad[& - is that really you?] and delivered it magnificently.

2. Hmm, noticed about a fortnight ago, so risk-averse purchase chez Mr Lewis, J. today. Slightly suspect pulpy shoulder means hwb no.1, rouge coup-ousted by new no.2 Duplicate pourpre - will this cause hideous confusion henceon? Awaiting as we speak. Good new Library books and early night, 'cos.............

3. ........long haul day hier. Away at 0230h, scary fog walls hefty and sudden en route. Nonetheless unloaded and back guarding on Brushfield Street around 5 bells. Sold nightmare [size+shape+leaf] crazy boho table I'd taken chance on:j. Delivery>Brixton made the deal but roadworks all over place ensured cauchemar continued. & in this bed at 0245h today. Better banking than last week, for which huge thanks. Decoy crow went well, too. Altogether more buzz this week. On sait jamais. Stop in another wandering time, vjm. Walk-on slavey-rôle audition for 3-ish hours' pack-up/re-load perpetually available.

4. Another missing bits em from enzed - but & is grateful for anything.
' but again thank you because your call perked him up no end.'
Things happening. Silent thoughts: can & be part of any turning 92 end May? On verra.

5. Solid pluie all day. Sloshed along crown of road, having decided on bus. Came on time!!! Business done included unplanned Mr Tom@£land. Great lass went hunting, she being phan aussi:D

Haven't had one for ever so long - had really gone for more cheapo batteries[remembered them] So, avec free w8r0s coffee in hand, sat and gazed at sky newly dry, pinkly fluffed, formal beds of bellos, polyanthus flowering, daylight lingering against black silhouette trees [2 mistletoe clumps, various perching crows and rooks]. All enjoyed by &. Full moon too. Tomorrow, pre-rugby, will go and scout for possibly dropped glove.....:mad:

Hope all teething troubles are over and that those temporarily felled are returning to upright.
dfv - take care.
lainey - new job news?
Mrs LW - one of us might well be in mood for spare cake.

Passe un bon weekend.

BoP is on tour. Pictured later.

The night is young, the paint is inn the cans.

Pity the plaice has ten idle plate stackers, and one barman. Think we are moving on.

Keep all every one.

Some pleasures for last couple of days,

Trip into Ely with Captain Scarlet, enjoyable time in favourite ever bookshop, not a mocha in sight just several floors of wall to wall books, perfect bliss.

Over the road to chocolate shop, small box of heaven purchased.

The evenings are drawings out, still light at 5pm, pink sunsets in big fen skies.

Interview went well this morning, like the company, people and they apparently like Lainey too as have called back for second interview on Monday :j

Brazilian Pinot Noir purchased for Xmas now being consumed, oh lovely.

MrsLW, am hoping you had a lovely birthday, Rosie, Tilly and Billy send love x

Hello, from ICT (ice cream town, for the uninitiated is a little town in Wales where we have a holiday home. It used to have a factory famous for honey ice cream - factory is sadly gone, but shop is still there:T)

Ooh where's BoP?

Pleasures for today

1 friend came for coffee
2 another small boy conversation today, this one on the train. Small boy to mum "I want chocolate." Mum "eat your sandwich, and then if you are still hungry you can have chocolate". Small boy "but I am too full up for sandwich, I just want chocolate" :rotfl: makes sense to me
3. Sourdough pancakes , banana, almond nut butter and cream for lunch
4 ice cream town, just feel the stress melt away
5 pork chops, sweet potato mash, veg and Diane sauce for tea. And wine. We are not drinking alcohol at home for January. Being very flexible with the word "home" :beer:
