5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Frith

Argh, hayfever tablet has worn off!


Pleasures for today:


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Enjoying new timetable at work.


3) Went to see my friend in town after work.


4) Hens on good form including flying up to sit on my knee when they thought I had some food. 2 eggs today.


5) Smaller son suddenly decided he wanted to bake a cake for his teachers tomorrow. So he did that then told me he and his friend would "eat it in the taxi". :-/ So I have baked 12 fairy cakes as a distraction! Also hardboiled the eggs ready for sandwiches for lunch tomorrow. We did have 15 eggs but used 6 in the cakes and 3 for the sandwiches.


6) In bed and about to listen to Teenage Diary. Don't rate Rufus Hound but like the idea for this series.

1. A colleague brought lunch into work on Monday and there was enough left over that she brought it to the other site yesterday. The curry she made was delicious and proved she could cook.

2. DS2 dug another veg plot so I can plant salad crops tomorrow.

3. Watching the torrential downpour and watching DS2 out in it with his umbrella.

4. Finishing some outstanding objectives for my yearly appraisal which is next week.

5. Watching the birds on my bird feeder.

And always remember what nana said. Especially after swimming in Skeggie outdoor pool. Nasal irrigation, gets rid of the carp inside your nose. Luke warm saline solution is a good near for it. And none of them tablets. Now BoP is not a quack, but that way all the snooting bits come out. Oh, as BoP made of curling fur, adds to the completeness.

And if you don't. all that carp stays in there causing more irritatnts and off to the quack at the quack shop for the next squirty bottle!

BoP no carp inside!

5 Last evening was tea on BoP plaza. Serrved with fresh BoP springs waters, with concentrated juice of oranges. Fresh garden salad, served with garlic flat mushrooms, reduced like the strawbs were the other day, topped with tom sauciness and cheese, mature cheddars. Ice cream of vienetta was also wolfed down.

4 Sat down to watch the cricket with BoPsie and poor old yorkies were out of it before I even had my slippers on. Poor show.

3 Raffles has changed his sleeping habbits again, last two nights has been a right stool pigeon. How on earth he keeps on the thing I can only guess. He is currently resting on the potting table!

2 Night is dog burger, toped with melted cheese, the individual ones, onions, pan grilled. Served with freshness of salads. BoP occasionally has a reversion. You cannot keep thinking, you wish you had and you know you wanted to as well!

What your gran told you, must be good as she lived a long longer than you have!

Havent posted for a while: the days have drifted by so quickly. Lots of unrecorded pleasures though

Today's :
1. A trip to my friends farm to see and pet her new donkey colt. So soft, and such huge eyes. Long legs striped like a zebras, only dark grey and light grey not black and white. Only seven days old, and racing round the orchard already.
2. Watching our dog playing with her three collies. He races under their stomachs when they try to herd him. Should sleep well tonight!
3. Sitting in my tiny garden, drinking chai, with the scent of roses drifting towards me. There's hardly room for the plant, it's a pale yellow climbing rose I paid 50p for ten years ago and it covers the fence now, very long thorns to deter would be burglars
4. A sudden, much needed thunderstorm - had to dive yin side rather quickly bu the garden is loving I.
5. A new recipe for a low fat potato salad tried, and this ones a winner!! Delicious with our own salad greens and soused mackerel for lunch.

1) Yet again the day itself, 'tis wondercrump!!!

2) The bracken on the field edges along the lanes is now too tall for me to see over it, it's just grown like triffids in this warmth, beautiful stuff.

3) The grasses in the hayfields that are regularly cut are now shoulder high on me (OK I'm not big at 5ft 5ins) but it looks like being an exceptionally good year.

4) Roses, poppies, peaonies every shade you can imagine in gay profusion in all the gardens.

5) Bees.....fat bees, thin bees, furry bees, smooth bees, bumbles and honey bees, soft buzzing bees and bees that sound like jumbo jets so many about doing what bees do amazing creatures I could watch all day!

If it were only rhinitis, BoP.

Also rashes, swollen and unbearably itchy eyes, swollen and itchy palate and ITCHY EARS TOO FAR IN TO SCRATCH!!!

Honest, I first tried when flying in R. A. Force and Co. Ltd. once the carp is out of the nose bits, it works. Tablets and spray keep the carp in there!

A collection:
1. Lunch with my friends, four of us all together for the first time, everyone getting on. We tried a long established pub restaurant that is under new management. Good value food, tasty, not particularly adventurous, but these weren't adventure prices.

2. Rehomed a toy I was sent to review some time ago to the neighbour who is so often asked to take in parcels for me. He is a nice chap, and his little daughter is such a poppet. I hope she has fun with her new cuddly friend.

3. Lovely evening at the live music club with some truly outstanding music. This evening, working online and watching Springwatch, have recorded all of them to watch and enjoy again - or for the first time - at some point.

4. Worked out a way to clean my hard floor effectively and safely without resorting to mops and buckets. A multi purpose spray and microfibre cloth has lifted everything without resorting to floor wet wipes that rip after two passes and need to be put in the bin.

5. Big achievement for me. I worked out how to transport my rollator (one of those granny walkers on wheels) on the back of my trike using a large luggage strap. The rollator is quite heavy, but it does mean that I can now walk around the shops in the town centre and shop easily. Including my favourite clothes shop. I still wear items from there that I bought twenty years ago.

6. My bargains in the said shop. Not huge reductions but items that I want to wear and WILL wear. The joy of walking around and looking at everything without a struggle, with the rollator supporting my weight, and the knowledge that if I felt I had to rest at any point - I didn't - I had a seat ready to hand on the rollator. I also had a quick look around the pound shop, will line up for another visit soon.

Good morning, it's Thursday already and just about to get up and start the day. It feels a bit milder this morning and it's wet!

I had a lovely Wednesday .

started with a quick call to friend from home .

Then a bit of a potter and tidy

Drove DD1 to uni and met my friend who works there, we had a lovely catch up , a good blether and a bit of a laugh so that was good.

Stopped at Salvos on way home and got myself a dress for Debutante ball
,a little silver clutch bag, a gorgeous green top and another crocheted blanket all for the princely sum of 60 cents! (31p) . It was 20% off for students ( had dragged a very tired out DD1 in with me....I'll just stay in the car.....no, I might need your card!) , I had loyalty points and the balance left to pay was 62c and as we round up or round down our pennies ( we don't have 1 or 2 cent coins) it was 60c!! So I will probably be the best dressed for less mama at the ball!

I found my missing Scotland sock......unfortunately it had been inside the dog! However the mystery is solved. Blooming animal he just doesn't learn that socks are for feet and not for your belly!

Made lentil soup.

Dog walk up to pharmacy , admiring glances and pats along the way. Both DD2 and I are claiming the beautiful! Comment for ourselves dropped a bag of stuff at salvos. DD2 had had a clear out of her walk in wardrobe...there's still another bag to go.

Then out to see specialist , hip problem seems to have dropped from crisis level to sore but that's just how it is level. Crutches are back in the cupboard for now but will be blinged up for ball ( 2 weeks time ) and popped in boot of car for a just in case. She has been given the okay by specialist to do dances on the proviso she stops if she's sore.

Had enough time to have 2 schlurps of soup then straight back out to PTA. Very lively meeting , I will be traipsing around our local shops asking for donations to our trivia night.

And so another day begins ...a few hours at work today and then a dress to be picked up . Hoping that it fits perfectly!

Put a sock in it! And peeps. Fury Bees, aka BoP versions!

5 Again last eve, we was on the Plaza de BoP for tea. Local Cheese Burgers, with chopped onions in sesame bun. Served with salad, BoP fresh spring water, with juice of concentrated oranges. Rubs Tum.

4 Raffles, who has had enough of his food, went and got his own yesterday. A nice bird. Announced his success quite agreeingly to all. Fortunately for BoP, this was before the feathers were ruffled. He was so proud. Little runt! Any how, he was not well afterwards, but hey, he's a man! Just gas to clear away his dregs!

3 Just got treaders out of shed, shed sort day today. And treader checking. You know it's good for you. Wander what I will find!

2 Later, the cricket. The ups and down. More later.

Another year since! Skid Marks. Welsh Guard. Sir Galahad. 1982. See notes passim.
