5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Frith

I also watched Ambulance, VJsmum, and it was very sad in parts.

Pleasures for today (Friday)

1) A lie in.
2) Part baked rolls for lunch - hadn't been able to get hold of any for 3 months!
 3) Bigger son and I went to Lloyds to try and change his child account into an adult saving account. We knew his father had taken all the money out and spent it when I left him. (And smaller son's). We didn't know he shut the account about 7 years ago. Bigger son can open a new one online anyway.
4) We then drove to Evesham to hand over one of bigger son's bikes that he had sold online.
5) Stopped at a farm shop on the way home.
6) Tasty tea of spaghetti with seafood, leeks and cream then Eton Mess.
7) Next door gave me some plants.
8) Watched Gardeners World.
9) Poised tomorrow to watch Instagram Live where lots of companies in the Jewellery Quarter are doing 15 mins each on jewellery or making the perfect cup of coffee etc, depending whether they are a jewellers or a café!
10) Proper rain this evening.

Cheese and tomato on toast for lunch here as well DD 
1. Chat and laugh with neighbours. Enjoy having neighbours we like - except on one side.
2. Cut the grass - makes the garden look so much better.
3. Filled more pots so all done now and they are all looking good and makes me smile when I look at them.
4. House is looking good after cleaning it during rain showers. It doesn't seem as big a job while done for shortish periods of time.
5. Clean bed sheets.

For yesterday,

Switched on the water feature after several days of rain and the number of birds that came down for a bath.

Stood on a chair and hoovered the top of our wardrobes, I deliberately don’t keep anything up there to prevent clutter but had still managed to accumulate a lot of dust!

Baked a loaf, wholemeal and sunflower seed this time.

Won online auction for replacement pair of Birkenstock’s, mine are well over 10 years old and have started to split.

Evening walk with beloved and small dog, edges of field lined with so many wild flowers.

Real excitement here. I have an appointment at the hairdresser.  DD rang to tell me they were taking bookings so I rang at once.  Appointment not until mid  July but will still be a treat. I'd better stop chopping bits off now! DD is going on a Sunday afternoon!! Sounds as if they'll be working flat out for a while.

Today will be my third attempt to pot up the  mini lavender plants.  Let's hope the rain holds off today. And I will pull up some weeds, but not too many as  the green bin still hasn't been emptied.  But they are starting on the 23rd, they say.

It does feel as if things are slowly, slowly beginning to get back to normal.

Happy Saturday everyone

Nows on with your version of BoP!

Only went too the corner house yesterday and has the haddock, chips and mushy peas. Very tasty as well. Also checked out one or too things for later.

Watched Das Boot last night. Getting things correct about what happened them years ago, especially with the snitchers on the hidden people and how one had to either support in a way. Very good portrayal of the events. Did watch the original back in the Pigs Bar after the Falklands as it  represented how people reacted. This new series adds to that. Wobbleades and cheese were consumed. Raffles was nudging as well for his treats. We pay his veterinary bills.

On the subject of cheese, gets some special cheese inn for BoPsie this nite, details tomorrow. Sticky chicken wings are brewing on the stove inn the dish. They will be rite fire ones this weak!

Usual snorkers and best back this morning again. Toast, poached egg, spagYetti, mushrooms and fried tatties, tea and fresh concentrate of orange was drinked.

Wacthing the cricket again, going to be a long day I thinks inn the field. Zzzzzzzzzzzz Time me thinks. So I has me elevenses and digestive. Tasty. No chocolate biscuits tooday! Argh.

Not much else today, cricket is just a ... I hope tomorrow Monty does his things!

Yous see I has court up so I after reading that Frith has done her mortgage, decided to check out mine on the comparator of rip offs again. 10 tears left, and payment is £1040 at present! New rate of £997, so I can saves me self £43 for the wobbleade kitty over too tears!

No No No No No No No No No No! NO!

Thankyou for all the Bonjours and Welcomes ! 

The docs tried to turn naughty breech baby but she aint havin none of if ! Looks like im in for a tough old breech birth ! 

My pleasures for yesterday

1. Had the lovely chief obstetrician try to turn baby in the morning, he is just so experienced and confidant you feel so safe in his hands ! Proper old school doctor who knows what he's doing.
2. Sorted all the baby clothes into sizes and stored away in boxes except for ages newborn/1 month, and 3 month which we need before we move house in august. Feeling organised, and definetly firmly into the nesting phase of pregnancy. 
3. House is tidied after DH'S aunt called to say she would pop over in an hours time, nowt like a pending visitor to get you motivated to tidy up ! Did more in that hour than i had done in days.
4. Lovely meal out with friends in the evening, the restaurants here are finally opening up (only terraces for now), so we had Moules Frites (mussels and fries). Yum. Have soooo missed the French springtime of drinks in the village square complete with live music and animated discussions and kids running amuck !
5. A wonderful uninterupted afternoon nap while DH took the children out for a walk.

Hello. Up early and over the fields. Wind was a bit eerie. Home and made tablet ( Scottish sweet) for my boys birthday. Twenty five! Pah! How can that be? Surely not that long ago! Anyway...no spare cash for fancy /overtly generous gifts but a small sum of cash and a cardboard box filled with favourite foods. And a batch of tablet all to himself. 

Did supermarket at 7am . Nice and quiet. 

Round to mums for an hour. 

Was raining on way home and I didn’t have a jacket so a bit wet. But thankfully in before the heavy rain came on. 

Pottered around moving a few things and sorting out some stuff to hopefully sell. 

Mammoth chat with friend, we’d had a doorstep delivery last night ( for son ) and wasn’t sure who it was from but was right with first try! 

Evening turned out nice after a wet day and still sitting with patio doors  opened and enjoying the breeze.

I took out a 10 year mortgage in January bop to buy xoh out. First payment was 1st March (very lucky to get sorted before lock-down) so due to end 1st Feb 2030 when I will be 66 and 5 months. Money usually spent on holidays and visits to inn of wobbleade is instead going into overpaying to reduce the term. 
Flippin' 'eck Frith re older son's bank account. 
1) this morning's workout was pilates - felt i had enough puff to follow with an 11 minute cardio. 1 minute in wondered at my sanity! but felt good when done
2) very misty morning - took the dogs for a long walk. 'met' 3 different people at various points doing our anticlockwise route clockwise. i normally do it clockwise myself
3) made a very tasty yellow split pea dal soup for lunch - replaced 1/2 pint of water with a tin of coconut milk -sooooo good
4) rained all afternoon so spent a very nice time playing the piano then reading then playing the piano a bit more - mrpiano was on the electric piano upstairs
5) now listening to Marta Argerich playing Rachmaninov. Then I'm off to beddybyes. Night all

Pleasures for today (Saturday)

1) A lie in.
2) Watched 2 Instagram live stream thingies from the Jewellery Quarter - one about the college and the courses they offer (quite fancy doing a BA in Gemology!) and one from 2 jewellers answering questions.
3) Paid bigger son's money (cash) into my account at the post office, then transferred it to his account.
 4) Bigger son went for a bike ride in the forest and I cleaned the whole downstairs of the house, including floors and windows. And the stairs and the orchids.

For yesterday.

Woke up to blue skies and sunshine.

The way my horse’s head goes up when she realises that it’s her human that’s walked through the entrance to the fields and then trots to her gate.

Watching a couple of crows mobbing a buzzard, was fascinated as there was clearly a point when they had got it far enough away to stop, we stood for so long that girlie dozed off!

Home and beloved had cut the grass so that smell plus the honeysuckle in full bloom meant walking through garden gate even better than normal.

Eldest DSS came over and we sat in the garden for a few hours chatting, small dog kept us entertained with tennis ball antics.
