5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

mhagster

Hello, it's Thurday evening. Its been a very pleasant day, sunny, blue sky ( unusual ) with a breeze. Lots of washing done and ironed.

Watched GBBO. Pleased with who's in final. Go Andrew!

Spent a very unsatisfactory hour form filling.

Got an invitation to cocktails at school , as a thankyou for parental involvement.

slow cooked RTC steak ensconced in a pie! All prepped and off I went to hairdressers. New kind of hair dye used and it didn't cover all my stubborn greys! Back next Thurday for a top up! ( free of charge) it's not very noticeable.

DD1's friend had popped round before I went out so that was nice to see her and catch up with her news. I worked with her for a year.

Nice lady from yesterday called , left a voicemail. I was busy filling forms at the time and hadn't heard phone ring.

Have a good day

Being an academic at a medical school, it probably won't suprise you mhags i was very interested in your comment re. pyjamas, not least because we were discussing attitude to medical student attire - indeed the literature i'm familiar with is always from the health practitioner attire side (or lens as vjsmum will now know we like to say :rotfl:)
Came across a paper about the use of pyjamas in psychiatric wards, so not quite the same, but thought you might 'enjoy' this sentiment:
"a lawyer in New Zealand, stated that the practice of wearing pyjamas all day was
punitive rather than preventative, was in breach of local Human Rights legislation, and “without doubt, the pyjama practice divorces the dignity of the person from the person as patient. It is a spiritual straightjacket”

and a lovely quote from another paper
"Patients who wear pajamas, and see hospital garb around them think of themselves as sick. If they and their caretakers wear street clothes, patients will think of themselves as moving out of the sick role, and into rehabilitation. They will be ready for life outside the hospital. This is the rehab philosophy, and this is what makes this unit unique." Head nurse of a rehabilitation unit

Hmmm that has very much piqued my interest.
For yesterday
1) my colleague dressing as a teddy as part of the medical students' resilience workshop.
2) then him telling me his husband had bought one of the oor wullies online at the auction :eek: i haven't looked up how many thousand that cost, but it did make me smile, and of course was all in a very good cause
3) lunchtime meeting re. scholarly activity - there's a real feel of progress
4) the memory trainers i bought off my daughter cos they were a bit big for her. They now remember my feet rather than hers - my feet feel loved
5) ceilidh band practice - haven't seen one of the guys for a while and his wife is expecting in December

2) Finding a singing 'Clanger' in a charity shop for Zebra.

3) Trip into town was productive of some Christmas presents I'd been looking for.

4) He Who Knows has made me another planter box for the patio from treated wood, the two of them will look super.
