5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Frith

Pleasures for today (Sunday).


1) Seemingly getting a lie in, thanks to clocks going back.


2) Listened to the Archers omnibus.


3) Sat in the new hen enclosure for a while with both Samantha and Barbara sitting on my knees. :-)


4) Lots of housework done before sons came home and before we go back to school/work - fridge cleaned plus kitchen cupboards, all washing/washing up done and put away, ironing, garden swept and tided, bins emptied, stove cleaned out, stairs cleaned...


5) Went to parents' for lunch - pigeon, was very tasty.


6) Went up with brother and dog to get chestnuts. He has sold loads locally and I got enough to last for 2-3 evenings (sons don't like them much).


7) Home again and lit fire. Turned all lights off and lit pumpkins in the garden ready for sons return...


... then had to turn lights on again as Sainsburys man arrived!


8) Sons home :-)


9) Watched the Grand Prix and Humans and bigger son made ginger biscuits.

4. & and friend finally had our Caf! Rouge lunch, our jour pour old francophiles, jour splendide. Excellent time had before and during, with double c.s. raids after. Tally - &: several No More Books, fine old sepia architectural photo in v.g. original frame+backing, 4 benin carvings [2 of which superb] Friend: Michael Kors green leather bag, various books, sthgs else[forgotten] What a lovely time we had :-) but slow thick scary fog driving back.

5. Room in freezers non-existent for some time now, despite all efforts and vain promises. 5lb raspberries therefore met jammy fate early today. 1tsp whisky in each finished jar. All done just as friend arrived to collect &, so hot jar given. Freezers still look as crammed as before.

Bonne nuit à tout et à tous.

I shall miss newsquiz &. Still have this week's to hear
1) the sound of squeaky geese flying over
2) a bowl of autumn for lunch
3) crisp apple for afternoon snack
4) chicken risotto for tea cooked by mr piano (and enough left over for tomorrow's lunch yum)
5) pumpkin lit, steady stream of ghosts and !!!!!s telling riddles and reciting poems. They were all suitably rewarded with chocolate. Which reminds me. What do you call a fat pumpkin? A plumpkin :rotfl:
Ps what's wrong with g h o u l s when ghosts is ok?

Pleasures for today:


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Work not too bad. Shouted at by one colleague who, I realised, doesn't know my name after 1.5 years and working with me 3 hours a week. She had to call me "Miss". All this yelling because I had suggested a male use the "wrong" toilet (there is no picture/word on the door and it is just one loo in a room so surely it doesn't matter who is in it?!) And yelling in front of other colleagues and my son, who was there temporarily before an appointment. This has galvanised me into thinking about getting some work experience in the field I used to work in... Must have a master plan to get back to it!


3) Bigger son's appointment great - no heart problem, just hypermobile joints (in his chest!) causing pain. There was a funny moment when the 5 foot tall nurse weighed him then he stood to be measured and she had to jump up and down to pull the sliding thing on to the top of his head!! Not quite 6 foot yet.


4) Dropped the other work (different council) back to the council offices. I asked her to check it and it was all in order. Payment before Christmas.


5) Sat with the hens for a while. Left 6 eggs for the person we rent the allotment from.


6) Lit the pumpkins and every lantern I could find. Had 3 lots of trick and treaters. We've only ever had 1 lot in 17 years! Luckily no more came after the last Freddo was handed out.


7) Went down to see brother's pumpkins. He had popped down to his neighbours so we waited for him to come back - with me hiding behind the car... Bear in mind there is no light at all so I managed to make him jump a bit as he walked by. Then he relaxed a bit, went into the porch and bigger son jumped out from behind the door!


8) Watched the SAS programme and watching First Dates now.


9) Going to listen to the Unbelievable Truth afterwards and go to bed.

* My new tubular skylight/LED light is going in my being built pantry today. The guy is on the roof now. :j

* The electrician comes tomorrow to hook up the LED light part and upgrade my electrical plugs in the kitchen. :j

* My builder started laying tile today. :j

* I bought a $798 pantry door for $159. :j The door had been custom ordered and brought back. They had it on sale for $318 but I talked them down. They had had it for over a year.
It's a solid core door with Douglas fir veneer and a custom etched glass insert that says PANTRY over a pretty grouping of fruit/veg/cheese/wine.

* Salisbury steak with a ton of mushrooms is simmering in the SC.

* Bills paid. Always a good feeling.

* Rain predicted for Thursday and Friday. :j (remember, I live in the 🌵 so this is a big event.:D )

Not a pleasure: My weight has slowly been creeping up. I'm going to have to fight that!

1) Being cold enough to want a hat and gloves on the Cookie walk this afternoon.

2) Walking with a new doggy friend and her mum she's Maisie and very nervous and not used to people other than her family but we're going to let her get used to being around me and then have her home for half an hour at a time until she's confident enough to come to us for treats. Then I'll have her occasionally when mum (who teaches) has evening commitments. Will take time, but we'll get there.

3) My evening of Halloween callers last night, so many nice youngsters and so much fun!

4) Walking this afternoon with Charlie and his mum back from a half term break, life is back to normal.

5) He Who Knows had lit the stove when I came back from walking with Maisie, bliss!!!

5 Well in our neighborehood we have the thirst day of the local food wasting households being notified to the passing public! Yes, Food waste bins locate those who have eyes bigger than their bellies. Obviously they do not have a food recycling system like our Raffles! No food wasted here, spare veg gets into the compost and them Sticky Chicken bones go with the birds. No Waste. Have written to council about this waste.

4 Good to see evil washed away, the first week seeing so much wasted foodstuff in the name of nastiness. In 1984,l long before the Buerke bothered to turn up and MSF were on the ground, we dropped food on the fit. You could not drop it on the needy as they were weak. Now to see so much waste in the sake of commercial extraction of money ...

3 More on this on Saturday as it is ...

2 Night BoP is sat feet up, being tickled by our waste food recycling system watching the Gunners. PM2DD Proper football!

Waste not

Want Not!
