Five OS Pleasures in your day today

Broomstick

:j Welcome back Sparrer! :j Personally, I think that getting pneumonia so that you have to go into hospital for a few days R&R, with heating bills covered, laundry done, food provided, interesting company etc... might be taking the MS thing a bit too far!!! (Just don't do it too often, OK?) Glad you're 'home'.

Five more pleasures for Monday...

1. Walking across the athletics track this morning to go join my children at their coaching session in the adjacent gym. The place was deserted, the sun was shining, it was quiet and beautiful - lovely.

2. Getting a collection of cheap trugs from Lidl to use as planters in the garden.

3. Getting more washing dried outdoors.

4. Having a really good, long rummage at the garden centre ending buying only what I needed, including some more veg seeds and, because of my choices, I got three more freebie packets. I'd already got another freebie packet in the post this morning with a garden catalogue which arrived.

5. Having cuddles with DSs.

Sleep well.

An early good morning to you all :wave:
My 5 for yesterday
1. Seeing Sparrer's post -I must admit I gave a cheer when I saw her name :j
2. Spring cleaning the bathroom - it looks and smells really fresh and clean
3. Finishing one of my 101 challenges in 1001 days - this was a visit to a spiritualist church which was very interesting and a good experience
4. The kitchen looking very tidy since I banned items being dumped on the table!
5. Turning the heating off just after tea as the house was so warm
6.On Sunday, I forgot to add a blessing so will add it to Monday's - Ampersand explaining how to put smilies on my posts
:T

((((((((((for all that need them))))))))))) Keep warm everybody as there is a cold snap coming along. Sunnygirl and Olliebeak hope you are both feeling better. Sparrer do take things easy for a while. Welcome to all the new posters - lovely to meet you. Have a good day everyone and hope you can find lots of blessings in your day

Great to see you back and fighting fit again Sparrer! You had us all worried!

Here are my five for today:

1 - Spelt toast and pomegranate conserve (left by my friend the other day when we had a business breakfast), in bed, with plenty of tea.

2 - Tidied up my bedroom (might even clean it now that it is less cluttery! One thing at a time, though hehe)

3 - Washing on the line since yesterday but it did not rain in the night so it must be nice and dry and fresh smelling, will take it in soon.

4 - Booked a permaculture intro weekend with DH and got a discount because it is two of us attending from same family - not a huge discount but it all helps!

5 - Tonight I am looking forward to one of our OSers visit with her DH, going to cook a nice meal (cannot say what otherwise I might spoil the surprise if she comes here and reads this post!).

Have a great day everybody! xxx

Hi everyone

great to see you back Sparrer, take care.

My five for today.

1. HM chicken soup for lunch, the days are starting to get cooler, love the change of seasons, autumn is my favourite time of the year.

2. Made pastuerised grape and apple juice with windfalls from the orchard, tastes great.

3. Spent yesterday with OH, and there was a drug bust in the village, helicopters, police etc, he now thinks retirement will be sooooooo exciting!

4. Fishing at the river mouth, didn't catch anything but it was sheer bliss being the only ones there.

5. Watching the grey herons on the estuary, they are so graceful when they fly.

Blessings be
