5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Frith

Quick pleasures for today:


1) Today would not have been my 18th wedding anniversary. That was yesterday - which my ex husband celebrated by threatening smaller son that he would receive a solicitor's letter for refusing to stop there for a long stretch before Christmas. :-/ The pleasure was smaller son sauntering in saying "What an absolute idiot. Like he's bothered enough to go to the solicitors. And where would he get the money from? What an angry man!" Smaller son then sent a text saying when he will be going. Bigger son and I watched open mouthed and rather impressed.


2) Everyone at work is so ill (that's not the pleasure!) that I have been helping out all over the place. Almost felt like I was doing something worthwhile today.


3) Went to see my school friend after work.


4) Bought some spoons when I was out as we have 20 tea spoons but weirdly only 2 dessertspoons since the weekend.


5) Wrote the Christmas cards.


6) Bigger son had a chat with me about things that are going wrong/well.


7) In bed with 1hwb and might listen to ISIHAC.

1) Maisie dog is here with us for some of the evening and she isn't squeaking which is a big improvement on last week. She took her supper from He Who Knows perfectly happily and she IS sitting by the front door but also coming in to the study to lay beside me, things are improving!

2)Much better doctors appointment yesterday, saw a different GP who answered all my questions, talked to me like an adult, gave me options that I could choose rather than laying down the law to me and was thoroughly helpful and down to earth in every way, came home feeling much happier and more positive.

3) The Christmas lights are up on the apple tree and look beautiful.

4) Have lost 4 kilos in a month and am now classed as overweight NOT obese, much better place to be in my head.

5) Found a perfectly ripe avocado in the reduced veg section of Mr.T today which will become poached egg on avocado toast for our lunch tomorrow.....pure luxury!

Good morning , it's Thursday and a bizarrely odd 25o and very high winds at 6am. Storms a coming .
Today will be my first day at home , no plans, no appointments this week .

We've had a few busy , tiring, hospital days. Much waiting around in between appointments ( 2 nice hospital lunches though and free coffees with loyalty cards)

Met a local friend in new local cafe on Tuesday.we sat and chatted for 3 hours and it just passed so quickly . Good to talk, good to laugh and good to get a wee hug when I cried!

The joyful arrival of a Percy pig parcel.

The sound of the most cheerful blackbird, every morning and evening.

The smell of roses as I walk past gardens.

The love , in such an unconditional way, of my dog boy....I was a tad grumpy , over tired, over heated and headachy when we got in from hospital yesterday...he still loves me!

Firth: I can just picture your No.1., things like this do leave me bemused, as I can’t help but think people should have changed/ moved on, being the polite thoughts on it.
1. Watched a smultzy Christmas film, and dug out the Christmas CD for the car.:T
2. HM Shepherds pie was delicious.:)
3. Chest infection is hopefully most of the way over now.
4. Animals being nutters.
5. Enjoying the glitter and colour of the festive time.:o

2. Hearing American Nick Yarris again, from R4 'Midweek' this morning. Extraordinary, lucid, articulate survivor, alive and well in where?...Amazingly, Lincolnshire!!!
'Nick Yarris spent 23 years in prison, 22 of them on death row, before DNA evidence finally cleared him in 2003. In 1982 Yarris, a 21-year-old car thief and drug addict from Philadelphia, was sentenced to death for the abduction, rape and murder of a young woman. He spent the next 22 years - much of it in solitary confinement - enduring the casual brutality routinely dished out by guards and inmates. During his time in prison he read up to three books a day and studied the details of his own legal case. Later, as the technology developed, he pressed for post-conviction DNA testing which eventually led to his acquittal. The Fear of 13 Countdown to Execution: My Fight for Survival on Death Row by Nick Yarris is published by Cornerstone.

3. &obile oiled and watered, wildly overdue. 5litres glugged. No wonder motor's kept cutting out over last fortnight:o. Already running with new purr. Specially for bop - & always buys her oil in FRANCE - much cheaper there:D

4. Crazily downsized, as required, for Spits demain. But still way too much, methinks. On verra. Again, know how lucky I am to be accepted there. Taking no weapons this time, 'cept mesel'.:p

5. Strange foods in tuck for demain. piggy, apple, celeriac, chestnut mushrooms, red/white onion, celery. It's all turned into a nummy slowcooker thing. Faster was rtc blueberries+rtc plums under cinnamon sponge top. & is always self-catered. Just thermoses to do at 2 bells...........

.........on which note, night all. hwb waiting, alarums will ring in just on 4 hrs. Sleep needed.
