Five OS Pleasures in your day today

Caterina

Hi all

Great to be back on the forum!

Re. Greenwich: The indoor market is, alas, no more, how awful is that, it was great and it had some amazing bargains!

Also: Greenwich Council are going to start collecting all the rubbish and recycling on a weekly basis, at long last!

Pleasures in no particular order for the last couple of days:

1 - Weather, weather and more weather!

2 - Out and about walking in the park with DH

3 - Started a jogging programme (1 min. jog 3 mins walk x4 for 1st week) hope to continue it on alternate days!

4 - Some seeds are coming up already (turnip tops) - for the Italians among you: cime di rapa (from Seeds Of Italy).

5 - Separated the beet leaf plants and now the back garden looks like we are properly growing something!

6 - Wearing sandals all day, great feeling of free feet!

7 - Wearing the Hobbs (sale) polka dot green cardi, lots of compliments about it - well worth it, I love it!

8 - Friend's 40th wedding anniversary celebration.

9 - DH found and bought a very nice suit in M&S using the vouchers from the Independent offer.

For today:

1 - Gave an Italian lesson and made myself a little money.

2 - The wholefood bulk order arrived nice and early so I was not stuck all day waiting for it.

3 - When I worked the spreadsheet for charging the other buyers the result was right the first time around YIPPEE!!!

4 - My friend made me a cushion with the fabric from a lovely linen skirt I had bought at a jumble sale and given to her.

5 - Long walk in the park with my friend in the sunshine.

6 - Cup of tea in the park with my friend, and also shared a humongous rock cake.

7 - Lunch with DS, DD and her BF.

8 - Yesterday washing dried on the line and put away, today's washing on the line now.

Ok now I got to do some work, bye all! xxx

Just popped on quickly to write my list

1) Getting 3 loads of washing dried on the line
2) Going to the park with my DDs and watching the eldest one help the younger one get up the steps to the slide
3) Helping a friend sort out her PC, it was riddled with spyware
4) Making a Lemon Drizzle cake for my friend whos coming over tonight
5) My 2 DDs currently playing nicely while mummy taps away on the computer (they can be nice to each other after all lol).

Evening all,

Missed the forums over the weekend, so good to be back. I feel very tired and headachey this evening (maybe a bit too much out in the sun over the last few days) - but there must be some OS pleasures, so here goes:-

1. Doing a turkey and leek pie - loved it, just need to buy some 'proper' pie dishes, some small ones to make it easier

2. Choosing not to do much shopping over the weekend but enjoy the weather instead

3. Enjoying my library books (including one of Martin's)

4. Talking to the cats

5. Talking to my neighbour

Off to have a quick look around the site and then an early night. Hugs all.:A


PS: good to hear progress of SG's dad and KB's OH

Good evening everyone thought I'd post my blessings before I have an early bath & settle down for the night. My five for today are:

1. Getting all my list of jobs completed this morning.
2. The smell of line dried bedding as I put it on the bed.
3. Chatting with DS3 while he did his homework.
4. Chatting to my next door neighbour this morning.
5. Getting two loads of washing dry before the rain started at 3pm.

Hello folks
Lovely to read the pleasures you have all been having.
Mine for today:
1. Lovely sunny day and enjoyed seeing the washing on the line.
2. A slow amble with dogs down a country path. Both were on lead, oldest because I'm taking time letting her off the lead after her hip was bad last week and youngest on lead because of cows - I just didn't trust her not to jump the ditch and find a way in :rolleyes:. It was peaceful and I enjoyed hearing the birdsong
3. A delicious stirfry for tea with some of last week's veg box
4. A great chat with a very dear and wise friend
5. Admiring the deep pink primroses in a tub in my friend's garden.

Hoping you have all had a peaceful evening and sweet dreams everyone

Evening all,

Hope you all had a lovely day, it was sunny and warm here and we tried to make the most of it as i have been warned that rain is on it's way!!

My pleasures today were:

1. Made stock with my chicken carcass from yesterday in my SC
2. Did washing and hung it out on the line to dry
3. Free workout - did my housework
4. Took DD & DS to the park and for a walk round the lake
5. Cuddles with DD & DS
6. Cup of tea that DH just made me and am about to enjoy before ambling off to bed

Night night everyone

:hello: Good evening everybody - looks like we've all had good days with lots of pleasures to share.

1. My dreaded Annual Appraisal has been postponed until Thursday. Don't know why I'm nervous about it, just me being paranoid as usual .

2. The bungalow viewing was successful and I will be getting a lovely new couple moving in in 2 weeks time . They love the bungalow and know the area very well so not put off by any nasty stories they've heard .

3. Finally completed my assignment - it didn't take as long as I thought it would. Have a one-to-one tutorial scheduled for tomorrow afternoon so will get feed-back on it then.

4. 'No Spend Day' today . Was very cold today - but that heating is definitely NOT going back on again. Found some 'Shank Stew' in the freezer so we had that for evening meal with crusty bread :drool:.

5. Planning on having some home-made soup (from freezer stockpile!) for lunch tomorrow and using up some minced beef for chilli in the evening.

Hope everybody has a good night's sleep :wave: nitey nite all - love Ollie xxx

Hi All

It's late and I desperately need to start getting to bed a bit earlier (and getting up in the morning) so I'll make this quick.

Mine are:

- Ringing up to cancel my mobile contract and being offered a deal at less than half the price (less than £10) per month. My snazzy new pink LG cookie arrives tomorrow! :j:j:j

- Walk with the dogs and watching them splashing around in the pond.

- Family movie night watching the most recent Mummy film. OH went to the supermarket on the way back from work and bought some popcorn and choccies - mmmm.:T

- Managed to tackle a bit more of demolishing the concrete path in our back garden. I'm determined to do it myself instead of forking out for drills etc.

- Off to bed to read more of the Twilight series.

See you in the morning. x
