MHAGS I hope Karma comes to bite that inconsiderate ignorant woman firmly on the bumski.....If Karma is busy then let it be HAGGIS!!!

:mad: on that awful woman in the bank Mhags, am liking the thought of Haggis brand of karma!
That crab sounds delicious Mila, was listening to a guy on the radio yesterday who said how much better it was to eat food with our hands, the added pleasure of touch with taste.

Some recent pleasures include,

A food shopping haul that included a lot of YS organic meat, freezer re-stocked.

Now on third book of Liveship Trilogy, you know it's a good book when you hate the thought of finishing.

Got my push bike out of the shed and gave it a good clean, the almost forgotten pleasure of a cycle ride on a sunny afternoon.

Cowslips, such cheery little flowers.

Couple of hours sitting in the sunshine with dear friend, drinking tea and putting worlds to right, pals really are a balm to our soul.

Will & attempt a Just Back Sortakinda post while debadgering magicks itself in college salon?
Ok &, do usual oap bold and give it a whirl.

1st, however many hugs, cuppas, sweet dreams and pink icecreams are necessary for all here, to Wand wave ..... here they be.
& declares: it is SO.

bop, commiserations re: lockout stewpittery. ***Drove me nanas. Someone referred to Paris jkt rtn but this was accomplished end Nov., when & assisted All Blacks to a You Beaut victory over almost as beloved France:-)
...as is this***, making ridiculous changes to all &writes.

Well, dear osp friends, person in France is safely 72. Great times had. Lush meteo until sudden Nord/Sud inversement just as & was leaving. Have done just on 4000km, little Meriva laden both ways and in doubtless shock, but avec satisfying and surprising fuel economy.@44ish mpg

Vague clutch of 5 scattered osps follows.

1. Treated self to bowl of white muscari ex emporium yday. 1st full day back. Actually paid the £6 normal price! No idea when & last did that;-) for ANY thing shoppy. At least 40 little flower spears bursting up. Worth a look Lainey. Haven't seen white before.

2. Enzed friends' arrival pinged this a.m. They are expected. Garden room long planned as their sleeping bag chuckdown space etc. & was answering em as phone rang. It was J. We conversed, only for & to realise it is another J, re: Bishop's visit nearby ce soir. That is another diary wipeout on this mob. Happened all the time in France. Happens all the time here. What chance has &, except for REAL brain, ditto notes, which is safely and surely OSP? Both now sorted....maybe:-)
We'll see if enzeds and & meet at Club rugby demain and they follow & back to squat.
That's the suggested plan..... rotfl etc.

3. Massed flowering cascades of clematis amandii on rtn. Stunning.

4. Caught up with prisonbag.com. 2 blogs during absence and burglary at Josie and Rob's home. More pschyte.

5. Loads to do for next Spits, next wk. Many buys to research. Also more lovely famille d'acceuil butter to stow. Good visites aller+retour. Maman in incredible restored form, thanks to good morphine doses!!!
#
That's enough for now. Saying nil re: young person matter right now. Safer thus, but will add a ).
#
Beautiful Fridays to all. & afflicted over a wk now by sth eyes/nose/ throat hayfevery? Very disrupting and encumbering. Want it gone. NOT a cold.

BoP pc still not connecting. Although this keeps BoPsie at arms length, one has to question that if mse softies algorithms can do this, just think how inaccurate their other tables and gadgets are! Avoid.
5 Only one week to BoP tour. Shuttleworth, Skeggie and Meggies. Steels Corner House challenge will be completed sometime over the weekend. Tour photos will be uploaded.
4 Tickets for the ballet have arrived. Going to be some nights on Broadway! More later
3 Mind BoP as he is leaving the mill at three this afternoon, to go the back way home and scoop BoPsie up from the town. OMG payday and BoPsie loose inn town. Note to readers, due to the high cost of the tickets for the ballet, it is beans on toast now for the rest of the year! Proper food. Food parcels accepted!
2 On proper foods, tonight BoP, donning his apron, shall be doing spicy chicken nuggets (not that flaked off carp you see in the freezers!) in hot sweet and sour sauce served with egg fried rice. Recipe available on request. Please do not cook this at home because again, twice inn a week, BoP shall be using the oil on the open flame stove. This is dangerous. So if your children are reading this, please avert their eyes now. As for food blogging, it appears that I can say anything I like about proper foods and sheeple follow. No pictures (due to mse softies) available.
Enuff of that now …

Sorry to hear about your bad treatment Mhagster, such a sensitive time and people can be so insensitive. You would think the banks would have training to deal face to face with such issues. A terrible service!

Been feeling a bit gloomy the past couple of weeks so not posted even though underneath it all I am sure I have had a few OS pleasures.

So today sees a better mood and here are my 5 and all before lunch.

1. DD and DS have a party after school today, found a great present to re-gift (DS already had this toy). From my gift box. So not had to do a last minute toy shop.

2. kids at said party so no need to make their tea tonight. DH and I can have leftovers from yesterday's veggie chilli.

3. Going on hols tomorrow to Lake District. Washing drying nicely on line!

4. Given extra work to do this afternoon (more money for savings).

5. Just found the chocolates my mum gave me for Easter...she will never know...just one!;)

1) A bright blue ceanothus bush just breaking into bloom.

2) We met a 4 month old black and white husky puppy on our walk, what a beauty he's going to be when he's grown.

3) Lunch out....smoked salmon and crayfish salad topped with a lovely pile of samphire, heavenly!

4) Gizmo, next doors dear little cat waiting for me on the drive when I got back and just wanted to be loved, she put her two little paws round my hand and pulled it to her face and rubbed on me, she's a poppet.

5)The buzzard I see most days circling lazily over the village way up high, calling his 'Keeahhh' call, it makes my heart sing!

Why, I ask, on Mhags's behalf, do psychometric tests not filter out people with zero people skills for CS jobs????? Expletive expletive. Kindness costs nothing.

Looking forward to the outcomes.

1. Having said that, my first one must be me not losing my cool with the dozy b^$^^ in Lid! today who started to put her items on the conveyor belt before I could reach the divider bars. She thus left me no room to put my goods on the belt, as I was right behind the first customer in the queue.

This often happens to me in A!di too, it drives me nuts.
Dr C. once gently pointed out the error of someone's ways to them as they did this, when he was with me.
They were MOST apologetic. So would most be if faced with an ever so slightly peeved Dr C. :eek:
Heh-heh.

2. My cheaper than charity shop bargain of a reduced faux- suede dress from Lid!

3. The use, once again, of the AgeUK shopping trip bus. New faces to meet and light-hearted conversation. Being able to get all I needed without exhausting myself. Not all I wanted.. I so wanted some rollmops, but the jar would have been heavy with everything else needed. Next time.

4. Being warm in the sun. Howling wind though, and grateful I don't have to cycle in it.

5. Lid! still having stocks of the specialist bit of kit I wanted from last week's offer. (Bike chain cleaner). These things are about £12 on Am@zon, sans cleaning fluid.

Mhags, feeling for you. Where do they get these people. I hope you get some answers Monday.

I worked at home which was utter bliss.:o
Lunch was spent making a grilled bacon sarnie and putting a washing load on.:cool:
Just popped out to lidl and very healthy our trolley seemed too. Picked up some plants.
Home and guilty pleasure of the Simpsons.:D
Just made a completely HM lasagne in batch and while it’s cooking through I washed the kitchen and hallway floors.:)
Booked some last min tickets saving 6 pounds online for tomorrow.

Not having much luck booking a last min Easter break literally everywhere is full so the search continues tonight.

Quick pleasures for today (Friday).


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Everyone nice at work including one colleague who describes herself as an old battleaxe who told me how sorry she was that I was leaving and that I was better than this anyway (!) Then the head spoke to me and, as if on cue, bigger son sent me a stream of texts that he was feeling terrible and was walking out of school - this at 11am. I was able to silently hand the phone to the head and have a little cry and say this was why I was leaving. He looked a bit stunned.


3) Quite a nice day apart from that as "my" pupil was very jolly.


4) Posted off 3 Ebay sales.


5) Bigger son asked to be taken back to school (sigh) to do extra after school Resistant Materials. He'll need to do several extra hours to get his project done before Easter.


6) Fish and chips for tea.


7) Football practise for smaller son which always makes him happy. He got a trophy and certificate for taking part for a term.


8) Watched Gogglebox (where the hairdressers pretending to be Monkman from Uni Challenge made me laugh until I couldn't breathe!) then the Last Leg.


9) Just been in to see sons (asleep) and bigger son went "Argh! What are you doing? WHAT ARE YOU DOING??" to no one in particular and smaller son managed to kick me as I walked by! They are very active sleepers.


10) About to listen to the Now Show.


11) Just remembered smaller son yesterday, engaging in "banter" with his mates online. "Well, Lewis, McDonalds for tea? That's not exactly eaty healthing. Eaty healthing.... er... Eaty... never mind" :-D
