VJsmum

Hello - thanks all....

PLeasures for the last few...

1. No work - well, apart from my work!!  But nice not to feel the pressure..  and to sit somewhere else
2. A couple of nice walks - one over the fields and one in the woods
3. a celebratory curry last night - and with leftovers
4. Binge watched "normal people" - had quite a lot of 'sexy time' for a thursday afternoon but all otherwise very beautiful...
5. a soak in the bath today
6. Just about to finish Afterlife - i can't stand Ricky Gervaise but this is sublime
7. Made some facemasks - whatever the 'pros and cons' of masks, i think they are in our future...

Have a good evening all..

Pleasures the last couple of days.......

Sunny weather intermingled with some welcome rain for the garden.

Kindness at work, gifts for us all - a Lebanese takeaway with delicious falafels and tabbouleh, amongst other things, little bags containing samples of moisturiser for us all, an hour of relaxing on the Well-being bus with food and drink provided.

A welcome lager shandy with Thai chicken prepared by my boy.

Belated birthday gift from Dad, a cheque for £50 with strict instructions to treat myself,

Up this Beltane morning walking barefoot on the lawn to reconnect with the Earth. Birds singing away, dew under my feet, masses of fallen crab apple blossom petals.

Mastered recording a short video on the computer and sent it to choir HQ for their fundraising campaign during Mental Health Awareness week this month. Came out rather well, even if I did overuse the word "amazing."

Fish  and chips ordered and paid for over the phone and delivered to our door. We were so stuffed after lunch that all we've had this evening is a bag of crisps each and a huge block of orange Aero between us.

Watching some episodes of Dr Who, the ones where the Cybermen were created in an alternative version of Earth. Powerful stuff.

Now relaxing in bed, dog under bed, ginger cat at foot of the bed, tabby and white one snuggled right next to me. More work tomorrow then three days off.

1 Huzzah the chicken from the freezer was chicken this time, and we had a lovely chicken salad.

2 Planted out a couple of plants, it’s Beltane after all, so hoping these ones thrive.

3 Upstairs is deep cleaned from top to bottom.

4 I am about to “try to make” an anniversary cake for tomorrow, fingers crossed I don’t normally make a big tin cakes, and it’s safe to say the wonky cake with hm jam and buttercream in the middle is made, but I’ll buy his birthday cake. It’s made with love not talent..

5 Looking forward to a long hot soak in the bath.

how do you do an escape room frith? sounds fun but would it work with only me and dd in the house?
1) workout was Sparta plus. I moved up a weight
2) fish and chips for tea
3) dd2 made some yummy buttery biscuits
4) she is loving her computer that she just built
5) lovely long walk in the moonlight with the dogs. it was quite late, only saw a couple of people

I think you'd need more than one person, DD, as you couldn't take part if you had set it up. 

Pleasures for today (Friday). I have felt rather flat since mid-week, to be fair.

1) A lie in.
2) Nice chicken tikka sandwich for lunch.
3) Chips from the van for tea.
4) Bigger son cycled not only to Hereford and back, but also tootled around - 65 miles!
5) Enjoyed watching Gogglebox.
6) I did another escape room, based on a sinking ship, as today is "mayday". Made flags to raise (in letters to spell out Mayday), then left them a torch and a sheet of Morse code and I found a website on my phone so I could play my Morse code answers back to them. Here are my flags, hoisted up the "flagpole".

Can somebody tell me what’s Beltane ,I’m guessing something to do with Mayday?

Frith- very impressed with your planning of escape rooms.
1. Not at work - feel so much better
2. Tidied the house and changed seat sofa covers. The room looks brighter now.
3. DS1 went for a walk and stayed fairly dry as he was out in 2 storms- one hail storm and one thunder storm.
4. Washing dried on the line despite rain and hail.
5. Changed bedding.
6. Spent some time in the garden and had a drink outside with Dh

Sue, Beltane is a Gaelic fire festival observed by pagans and the like. It celebrated all matters of growth and fertility when a May King & Queen would be chosen by the village to go and celebrate their union in the fields to ensure a good crop, this become gradually sanitised down the centuries until the traditional Mayday celebrations were left.

For yesterday,

My eldest niece’s birthday and I dug out an old picture of her Dad to send, miss my brother every day but especially days like these.

A busy morning doing chores, was laughed at when beloved caught me barefoot with trousers rolled up in shower cubicle scrubbing the tiles, with my striped t-shirt he said I looked like a sailor!

I roasted some nuts ( quiet at the back ) earlier in the week, cashews, pecans & almonds in honey and paprika, my they are tasty and the jar is going down rapidly.

The afternoon rain finally rolled away and we went for evening walk, blue skies but big banks of dark clouds on the horizon. The hawthorn is in bloom, so appropriate for Beltane.

Fresh sheets on the bed.

Shall just wait and see.
