5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Morning all
Wow Frith - excellent canoe scavenge and three kingfishers!

Pleasures for yesterday

1. An early morning circuit with OH - stunningly warm in the sunshine (though somewhat chilly in the shade and wind) and the sea was amazing
2. Took DD for a honey ice cream later (i had a child's portion and still only ate half, was stuffed) and did another circuit on the way home.  During our ice cream the rather breezy wind dropped suddenly and it was really warm in the blue sky and sunshine.  Beach was quite busy (but not in a crazy way!).  
3. Did an hour of yoga - which surprised me that i managed to fit it in.
4. Put together the new chimenea - bought so that we can continue to entertain outside as the nights get chillier.
5. Which we did! Friends came round for dinner and we could sit out without coats even!  I marinated chicken that we cooked on our cadac (BBQ thing) and we had a lime marscapone torte for pud that i'd made earlier.  The chimenea was a hit.

Have a great day all.

Good morning all, pleasures for the weekend...

I work on Saturdays but worked Sunday as well this week.  Everything went well.

I walked along the esplanade (sounds a lot posher than it actually is) in the warm sun on both days. 

I looked across to the marina and waved in DD's direction 

Easy meals - I worked extra hours on Sunday so I'll make a roast in the week sometime instead. 

Added quite a few rows to crochet project number one. 

Take care all of you

For yesterday,

Bacon butties then caught up on all things Ambridge.

Finished my car, inside this time, hoovered up a fair bit of horse chaff from boot and even leather treated the seats, it won’t last long but nice while it does.

Planted up some spring pots for the garden, dwarf iris and crocuses. Gave everything else a good water and feed. I was very taken with the prairie garden shown on GW this week and think something similar would be perfect for the back of the cottage, which gets a lot of sun and can be windy. Need to plan!

Made a quiche for lunch, blue cheese and the last of the ripe toms, the pastry trimmings made four jam tarts for tea.

The crescent of the new moon as I shut the curtains in the evening, it’s the autumn equinox today so wishing everyone a very merry Mabon 🍂

Will catch up with latter half of osp reading after this, since screen went blank and msg said: "MoneySavingsExpert.com has unexpectedly closed this site. No internet availability."
You don't say.  So -
1. Switch off mob. Restart 
mob. and have just rcvd weather forecast for 19th, yes 19th, September:-)
Remind me of today's date - that's how connectivity is in & Fennylands.
In case you need to know, there will be some light cloud, temp. 10 - 22C, 2 days ago:-)

2.  Overnight slow cooker ratatouille,  incorporating & h-g beans. Love ratatouille.

3.  With RCT (Toulon rugby, for newbies)flag and suitable attire,  & allowed self rugby watch at The Alma.  
Shared with Welsh landlord, as Scarlets were our opponents and The Alma is Town of Gown's rugby pub:-)
Dreadful match, but Toulon eventually took the points. That apart, & always happily tfrs to Stade Mayol/Toulon or any old Var stamping grounds in head space:-)

4. Mowing done.  Compost's taller than & again.

5.  Extreme faff, but done -  8 jars apple+blackberry, or is it blackberry+apple? rum compôte.
Need to label them - and the b/a jelly.  They look the same until held to the light.  & fingers and nails look vile, despite hairwash, which usually removes such staining and discoloration.   Not this time.

Safe Mondays and weeks to all, along with quiet minds and peaceful hearts.
Suffolk Sue - thinking of you.
Frith - please tell elder son(good news there) that a certain wooden spoon has had little rest recently:-)

Bala. JD. Keeps BoPsie lit!

Getting Results for You!

Watched too flix last day. Had ex comrade trying to tell me to watch Dr Zhivago? No, not proper flix? Not as good as Ms York in Battle of Britain! (BoP Thing!) No BoP watched Angels One Five and drinked Tea. Then watched The Interview on the flixnetter. Cheese and cocoa was consumed!

Had Codpiece for dinner last day, withs mes homemade Parsley Sauce! Done proper. Left messy pans for BoPsie too clear up. No mess. Kitty, who on her footies is completely not very good, is picking up on detectoring good foods!

Kitty has at last managed to open a door. She cannot get used to the flap! She sulked inn the yard when BoP was at the A1D! this morning! The shop again was for £31, woulds be £48 at w8rs! No ponder they is not paying a bonus this year! BoPsie keeps checking the pennies against them, adn converts the shavings innto Jack Daniels!

Connected to the Docks today. has the usual Teams meeting, connected again! Have booked a couple of rig days, so I can see the dust on the door knob! Not going inn means that the BoP Wheels! does not need filling as much!

Here ends todays BoP's Bites!

The Happy Talk Ends Now!

Happycas

Ampersand how are the tomatoes?  

Lainey must have been something in the air yesterday.  I too cleaned the inside of the car!  Last time we went to our caravan,they cut the grass and then it rained.  That was about a month ago and the grass still adorned the footwells ( feetwells?).  The shame! Anyway, all gone now.

Yoga today, but only one more to go.  Our lovely teacher has decided to have a break until next spring.  I think the combination of national guidelines, and the even stricter parish hall guidelines have just become too much.  I shall miss it.

Today is more glorious than ever.  Very sunny and very warm.  Making the most of it by sitting in the garden.  We will have to sit inside soon enough.

Happy sunshine 🌞 everyone

Happycas - still growing. Still green. I've already accused friends and peeps in other places of using up all the red+ripe colours, meaning none left for &'s toms.
True still, even though I'm now beheading them, and trunk clearing😆 to let sun in.
Just realise I forgot to add h-g aubergines to h-m ratatouille pride, too.
Pic may follow.

Loved them, used to watch the conductors getting out to reconnect the 'wand' :-)
Gorgeous old red trams, with sideways leather seats.

Hello
another day of work done and the working week is done again . Hurrah! 

Very busy day ( local holiday) I had made more soup than I’d thought! Couldn’t put  ladle in soup urn or it would have overflowed! Sold out! Have a leftover potato but think I might have it for my tea. 

Kids had a stir fry...do you want any there’s enough left...aye if you want to eat it in 3 mouthfuls so still hungry. 

DD2 car not right and I don’t  know why she phones me and expects me to know what to do! Phone mechanic chap! 

Nice doggy walk first thing and then son was walking him when I came home so he got off lead to run to me ( as there were no other doggies around) 

I'm continuing to read OSP and now up to mid 2015. ( cancer part two) and work still okay ( will be turning toxic soon! ) Lots of naughty puppy comments which I’ve been sharing with DD1. He was a wee roaster! And yes I was still complaining about the weather! DD & VJSMUM were  still gallivanting, Pirate Pete was always POETS and & was still losing posts! What a lot we’ve shared on here! 

Right have a nice evening. I need to move before I seize up totally!
