5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Frith

Pleasures for today (Thursday)


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Work came and went.


3) Bigger son went to town after school with some friends - in a taxi! Why did we never think of that as teenagers!There used to be one bus a week from here when I was young.


4) Smaller son and I popped out so I could get my hair cut. He enjoyed a bribery McDs and bigger son-free time.


5) Had yesterday's broccoli pasta bake thing again for my tea.


6) Various bits and pieces are selling on Ebay. Even if they all go for 99p, that'll be a few pounds.

1) Just back from my walk with Cookie as the rain started, impeccable timing!

2)After yesterdays fruitless search for jumpers in the city I found two really nice ones in the big Marks and Sparks at the shopping village today and a beautiful soft pearly grey scarf/stole too.

3) Local Tesco had all but two of the ingredients for my Japanese cookbook I found yesterday, very impressed as it's a smaller branch.

4) Have moved the reindeer He Who Knows made for me at Christmas to his summer stabling, inside the tepee we're growing for Zebra as a play house, so cute!

5) New series of Death in Paradise last night and new Midsomer Murders earlier in the week.

Just what us going on! Oh and :heartpuls to the needy.

5 Mill race was chopping up this day. Wagon of chuck was utilised and egg and bacon banjo purchased. These things just have too be done. Well worth it, Tum was Rubbed.

4 Elevenses to day, as I watched the feathered ducks inn the race, was chocolate covered biscuits. Proper ones from Mc's, not that carp cheap emporium rubbish. Proper foods. Tum was rubbed again.

3 Was in gym, pink tutu style. Legs were well stretched and six pack sharpened. As Friday is no shave day, edges are slightly ruff. Tum needs rubbing!

2 Night is Grand Tour and film. Maybe a Marylyn. It is a BoP thing.

Woke again this day, bullshine still belittling from box of ogle, but the birds were singing. They don't care, they just love singing ...

Birds are certainly singing here pirate Pete it's Saturday morning and there is a freshness to the air at 6am that will be gone shortly. To be 37o today. Waaaah! However I will spend a chunk of my day in an airconned room with the wind whistling round my ankles ( as someone took my big comfy chair ) and a blanket on my lap! That's how cool it gets! The big comfy chair blocked out the aircon draught ...anyway it may or may not be our last day.

Yesterday OH was not great , slept a lot. I finished a book and then had a good chat with hospital team social worker, who came to find me .

Had his curry for tea . They keep feeding...he keeps ordering but yesterday's tea came along just after afternoon tea and then just as I was leaving along came supper...anyway he could not face the curry that he'd ordered the day before !

Goodness, the blast of heat when I came out a at 6.45pm , picked up by friend but not before I saw the air ambulance coming in to land on our old hospital ( straight across from Cancer hospital) rather impressive, rather noisy but oh....the breeze it stirred up was lovely!

Home. Sigh!

This morning I'm having quality time with my dog before I start all over again. Have an extra half hour as trains aren't as frequent at this time on a Saturday morning.

1. Very rare for a Friday but some new and exciting contracts were released and applied for. Very happy outcome 2 interviews set up but they are a very long way off so still lots of applications.

2. I looked up on how to recreate a Chinese fake away, but for the bits we like a, not only am I convinced they are outside of my cooking ability, but by the time I could get all the bits in it would cost roughly the same.:o

3. Watched Father Brown, I am another one who loves the series.:D

4. The pleasure being I am at home and able to do little, but I had a bad pain flare today, it’s the first in a month since they started treating for them, as they were happening each week, but I managed to forget how painful they are.

5. Got a few loads of washing done.

6. A NSD and NPD.

7. Didn’t cave to takeaway, made an omelette.

8. I have just checked the li£l offers for next week and they look great frozen fruit for us and wipes for DF.

9. Just saved DF £215 on his home insurance and got him £50 of coop food vouchers.:money:
I keep getting errors pop up when I post on here, which isn't so great time to contact the mse team I think...

dd- bless Mr Piano as I start here and you for linking it. Flowing streaming sound exquise! - and such fluid hands, yet crisp, beautiful to see.
& in need, so thank you is heartfelt.

Just in, all sorts running away from &'s clockabilities to deal with day on day right now.
John Berger too - another man down.

1. Half-way to sorting 'Certificate of Destruction' [no less] which will trigger prev. &obile tax refund. Yes please.

2. 'Cos of intro. para., & also recalling 1998 involvement with 'Les Ann!es Folles de Schubert' in Nantes, largely on river l'Erdre, as was & [ lived on our boat low-loaded ex UK that Uni work year.]

3. Birdie munch on garden room roof works. Distinct areas for big and small benefits all. The long-tailed tits were at kitchen window this morning. In 15-ish years, they've never flown in like this before, always done perch'n'stop'n'sing mid-morning and late arvo in far end elderberry.

4. First 20 jars of bergamot-laden marmalade sealed and finished this a.m. Batch 2 cooling o/n after 1st boil. Pectin sludge stage looking just as it should, ready for warmed sugar, prob. not tmrw. Ran out of jars, so 20 Mr T Everyday Marmalade @ 27p apiece was OK. They're all still in Meriva. Can stay there tonight, then contents>Jimmy's Nightshelter en rte to rugby demain. First lookings about for more empty jars ludicrous; cheapest £1.29 each!
One marmalade to the tune of another....[another obscure isihac elision, mila:-)]

5. Looking fwd to 1st 2017 match ballon ovale tmrw. Treated self to Club lunch, which & does only once per annum, at this time. Should be in Paris, which is also as usual at this time, but times clash this year:
2 years since Charlie Hebdo - 7 janvier 2015
Vicky - a Mayol merci for Mr Cockerill, but & totally unkeen on Ashton.
Have never cared for him. Quite a commentary tonight - Newcastle Falcons edged Bath 24-22 in final secs. One commentator would have been red-carded were he on field of play. 'Abuse of' wasn't in it! - and this was 5Live Extra, national broadcast. Just as well they won:-)

1. Getting keys cut at the last proper hardware shop for miles. The owner was actually selling free-range eggs fresh from his own garden in a bowl sat on the counter. You don't get that in B&Q

2. Picking Youngest Daughter's monthly asthma prescription up on the way back, thus saving her from making a diversion in the rain on the way home from school to pick it up herself.

3. Relaxing in a lovely hot bath full of Aldi bubbles after getting drenched while getting keys cut and picking up aforementioned prescription.

4. Listening to Youngest Daughter singing in her bedroom when she thought I couldn't hear her.

5. Resurrecting my old Qmee account and finding an unexpected 39p in there
