3 See not just inn good shape, but also ... more later.

2 Nite is inn. Tart Fuel is inn refrigerator for BoPsie. Wobbleades are bottled. Tum is being rubbed.

Eight metres out, and the line is cast.

DigForVictory

mhagster - glad that the sun is shining, that there is ice for Haggis, other than that just wishing you all love & strength. Love flower/kayak conjunction, and absolutely 'get'mortified/insistent - but thankyou for accepting the help.
ampersand - hoping the 6 nations are a happy distraction?! Love hidden change in sporran, & hurrah Bercow stepping off his professional fence on the Orange One. White horses? Part of my childhood
Mrs LW - hurrah secomnd pass of hyacinths - my two reduced post Christmas amarylis bulbs have begun to show genuine signs of life - and buds!
LaineyT - atta girl sorting old school reports & other treasures - emotional very heavy lifting, so please reward yourself somehow. Feeding the vacuums on feet is pleasingly challenging but not quite the reward I'm thinking of. Roast restoring faith - lovely line!
DundeeDoll - physio exercises can be beastly, but usually efficacious. Delighted /awed at MOOC interactivity. Impresed your physio has moved you along a notch an a week - you clearly Have been doing the exercises given!
Skint - very glad pharmacist brought the answer. Snoozes are good. Awed at resistance to call of McDs. Look, antibiotics include a get out of hoovering card. (Well, my packs do, anyway!)
Frith - hurrah shirt & coaching son conjunction, just wish you didn't have to clean out turtle! Good lad bigger son realising it's good to talk (& hurrah 6th form place). Growing chaps are tricky to clothe. Working storage heaters plural! Worth the DIY making good. Ah, maths homework. Vale of tears, no messing.
BoP - just awed. Imagination boggling in corner at tutu being washed, but horse sense avers only right & proper. Happy plans for BigFruit! Regime upped?! oo-er.
Purple kitten - all love & strength with DF. Lidl carabiners? I'd fall off my list for those! Love IKEA bag as new best toy. Share Skint's approval of 'vague tidying happening...'!
mcculloch - hurrah DGS hasn't destroyed all the bulbs, and revivified the daffs! Underwear & live music, a very special combination. Perching stool - I will convey this idea to mum, who is really not loadbearing but prefers swinging from kitchen furniture to the zimmer frame. Us daughters worry!
villagelife - a good sunset is a special treat. Stripping to music - well, wallpaper & monastic silence aren't a winning combination...
Mila - atta gal on the paint and the longterm kitchen planning & hurrah Quoye learning Spanish - there won't be an inch of America she's not understood in soon!
VJsmum - hurrah you're better, oooh clean bedlinens (when my temperature comes back down, me too!) & will hunt down Lion. Tips on how to get his grades up? We're relocating the lad to the main room for schoolwork so he can't distract himself in his play pit. Major point of ICT is beach, even if Baltic, no?

OS Pleasures recently
Lovely lady who sorted me change spotted the Beatrix Potter coin, & pointed it out to me! (Little squee of delight met with wonderful grin!)

Husband made bannock - long on dried fruit & nuts & delicious. Happy Imbolc, for such as care to attend!

Husband opines young people's blood is good for older people. Middleson gives him a Very Old Fashioned look & tries to *nonchalantly* wiggle further away.

I'd not tagged Ma-in-Law for a Prepper, but the array of spray chemicals lined up along the bathroom wall suggests the local places have had specials on cleaning materials & she's treating every relative with a pulse to the essentials... Or is a pile it high when it's cheap Prepper!

Real home made haslet. Warm from the oven. <calls down blessings on both butcher & cook>

Pleasantly surprised by arrival of bonusbond vouchers despite leaving eon months ago.

Waxing moon & Uranus clearly visible - sons as ever chortling at planet name... I just enjoy the bright spot and try not to mind the cloud hiding the rest.

Strange office - discussing how to pack for holidays... As seagulls whirl & squalk, it sounds holiday-like! A hard blink & I'm back in the classroom again.

Pleasure amidst day off work with stinking cough (ow my ribs) & runny nose it both hauling herbals down from Gutenberg & reading assorted virtuous tomes eg on the Nervous Housewife. Ye gods - devastatingly funny from almost a century ago & a riveting glimpse at what the Americans seem to believe about how women should be. That sounds terrible but it isn't - honest, I laughed so hard I triggered the cough several times.

Son recruiting me as driver for trip to Thackray medical museum - a place I have yearned to visit & am now being asked to go as driver! Hannah Dyson's Ordeal has been named by at least two school staff as a must-see exhibit, so I look forward to the eye-watering spectacle of Victorian surgery.


Right, I need more pills & another lie down. Just a bug, but that tumble has the ribs twanging when I cough. Three cheers for codeine, so I do get some sleep.
Huge hugs, tender blessings, sprouting greenery, chirping wildlife, hwbs, good radio, health, strength, tolerance etc for all as need, a happy half term (for all in range) & may the festival of the Saint Hallmark pass by you in whatever manner offends you least!

1) Being warm by the stove on such a cold and damp night such as this one.

2) Having enough to eat, a lovely salad followed by home made spaghetti Bolognese and being grateful that we don't have to go hungry.

3) Electricity to light the house, warm the kettle, cook the food and keep us entertained.....and run the electric blanket, it's a blessing!

4) The NHS always there if it's REALLY needed, has problems at the moment BUT life without it wouldn't be as good.

5) DD1s cat Pushkin who is a giant (Maine Coon/Bengal) but has the tiniest 'meow' I've ever heard, is the softest coated kitten ever, who spent most of yesterday on my lap purring and who I love completely!!!

Frith

Pleasures for today (Friday).


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Work went OK.


3) Had a family favourite for tea.


4) Bigger son went to his friend's after school but decided not to stay overnight. Partly because no one ever cooks these boys any tea in that house! He had his tea at 9pm, when he got back here.


5) Smaller son got some football trousers then we went to his football practice and it was great again! I think he is the happiest there that I have ever seen him. :-)


6) Had accepted the fact I was going to stay on in my job, whether it ends in August (as 50% of the posts identical to mine are going to end now, with redundancies) or on into the future. I had emailed both possible jobs to turn down their offers of interviews...


...then happened to look again at the National Trust page today and there is the same job again, different stately home, 3 days a week (more money than I get working 5 days at the moment) AND - permanent! What to do?!


7) Watched Last Leg under a big quilt on the sofa.


8) In bed now with 2 hwb and will listen to the radio in a minute.

The second part of your No 5 made me happy cry just a little, Frith.

DfV Re this:
Perching stool - I will convey this idea to mum, who is really not loadbearing but prefers swinging from kitchen furniture to the zimmer frame. Us daughters worry!. This is exactly the same perching stool as mine and it can be used as one uses a zimmer frame.
I know, cos I do, in the kitchen, when moving it from cooker to sink to worktop. I posted a review of it.

villagelife

1. Walked to the post office to collect a parcel for DS2. I enjoyed the walk in the snow flurries. Lovely seeing the snowdrops in the churchyard. They aren't visible from a car. It seemed very appropriate.

2. Cup of coffee when I arrived home to warm up.

3. Chat with a friend on the phone. She is recovering from food poisoning and has been ill for 3 weeks now but starting to recover. I used to work with her and she is so much happier now she moved away. She is a completely different person so talking to her now is always a pleasure.

4. Cleaned the hall - managed to declutter and removed piles of stuff that had been dumped and rehomed the items.

5. Sorted out seeds I need to sow. Hopefully it will be warm enough to do this weekend.

LaineyT

Some pleasures for last few days,

First, a real toughie, DM's funeral. Private cremation first with just close family, the haunting tones of Mr Sinatra's ' Elizabeth ', most apt. Then onto to the village church for a service of thanksgiving, being told by the FD that the place was packed to the rafters, the soaring voices of her fellow WI'ers belting out Jerusalem behind us, the amazing composure of my youngest niece reading a poem, my darling brother's heartfelt tribute that included her legendary cheese scones, finally we left to Mr Springsteen belting out a rock number, all her choices and so very Mum in all her glory.

Shattered beyond belief the following day so pleasure of a quiet day at home with darling Capt S and the girls.

Afternoon spent reading on the sofa, Pointless answers

Finally, am starting to sleep better.

My family, they say you can't choose them, have been blessed indeed.

Mila. We is having the apple of big on May 13. Then it is the cracked bell and Donalds! Place. More later!

5 Watched another film last night. Bit late as it was after xmas, but Holiday Affair. It was true as it was inn black and white. Had Janet Leigh in it. Not quite a Marylyn! Wobbleades were consumed.

4 Sit down, relax, the pu55y cats are about to be slaughtered. Arsenal are about to play. Decent Tart of Jam and tea is served. Proper foods! Note to readers, this is how I keep my pack of six!

3 Usual rules for breakfast this week. Snorker, Best Back, mushrooms, star cut grilled toms. Haricot has beans in tom sauce. Buttered toast topped with fresh scrambled eggs. More proper food and wolfed down with fresh eua de faucet and concentrate of orange. Tum was rubbed.

2 Nite we is having more proper foods. Tikka chickens, with peppers and toe nailed onions. With dynamite mushrooms and wobbleales. More later as film is to be selected. No emporium pasted carp is used, but the chickens are currently brewing in their sauce: Natural Yogut. Tom Puree, Garlic, Garem Masala, Termites, Chilli, Coriander, Fresh grated ginger and mustard! Juice of lemon added for spark. Proper foods!

This post has a quality that delivers proper talk!

Lainey - hugs, go gentle.
BoP - Ooh we've seen the cracked bell. The kids were decidedly underwhelmed...

Pleasures for yesterday

1. Some warmth in the sun, even tho it was chilly without it.
2. Fully opened daffs on my walk by the sea and through the town.
3. DS made a surprise visit. He wanted to do the drive so decided spur of the moment to come down. Good experience for him and then he took me to, and picked me up from, the pub!
4. Meeting friends in the pub, for :beer:
5. Had a bath and watched last saturday's "Taboo", it is rather weird and very dark, but i've seen so much of it now that i will have to see it through.

On train home now - very quiet as everyone is preparing for the Rugby. Come on the Welsh....:p
