5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Frith

Pleasures for today (Friday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Got through the chores and lit the stove first thing.

3) Hens ok.

4) Builder (J) came to quote for repointing. He knows why the front windows are leaking. Expensive, so I’ll remove the render myself and leave him the difficult stuff. 

5) Made it to the dentist (both rivers flooded in that town!) Teeth fine. 

6) Steak for tea.

7) Much excitement this evening. Within an hour or so, we had 5cm of snow. We’re at the top of a big hill so noticed a fire engine stop and put its searchlight things on. Off we went for a walk to find 5 trucks, 12 cars and a motorbike stuck on the hill, with villagers raiding the grit bins with their shovels! It was a very jolly atmosphere and we hadn’t spoken to so many people in months. People in cars were merrily shouting “hello” as they tried to get by.

8) Watched the Last Leg.

1. Snowdrops out along the road.
2.. Went to community fridge. Had a couple of chats with people. We now have to sign up for a time slot to ensure its all safe.
3. My sister sent me a bay tree for checking out the puppies for her. A lovely surprise.
4. Spoke with my parents on the phone and some text conversations with friends. 
Not a pleasure but two are in hospital at the moment.
5. Clean bed sheets. 
6. Washing on the line - didn't fully dry but worth putting it out.
7. Tidied up a small area of the garden which looks much better.

For yesterday,

We had sunshine and blue skies for most of the day, really lifts the spirits.

Changed the bed, made the bread dough and while that was having its first prove got out to the farm shop for meat, followed by feed store for girlie’s chaff. Home, second prove and then bread baked, such a good smell in the house on bake days.

Had a general tidy at the yard, filled up her feed bins, swept behind my box, sorted her rugs and fitted her new bit. It’s a Happy Mouth which is plastic coated so no cold steel in her mouth plus tastes of apple apparently, she was sucking at it like a dummy while I was adjusting the fit, cute.

Capt S had blood test results and went in to discuss with docs, some sort of virus apparently, obvious ruled out as no temperature or other symptoms but strange all the same, muscle pain, fatigue and he’s slightly anaemic. More tests to be made. Not a pleasure obviously but the fact he is being so looked after is.

Easy tea of HM pizza and winter slaw followed by a bit of tv watching.

Good morning all, pleasures for yesterday, 

Early morning trip to supermarket for fruit. Found everything I wanted, hardly any people around and bonus extra, vegan Bounty for best friend (dairy allergy). 
HT's history teacher complimented him on work well done. 
The rain finally stopped. The HT had PE scheduled in his timetable so we went out to get some sunshine and some fresh air.
Socially distanced chat with two neighbours. It was a short chat because it was cold and one didn't have her coat on but it was good to see other people.
Online gaming with HT and best friend. 

Take care all of you

Hello. All cosy here. Fire on ( eventually I’m so rubbish at starting it) , candles on and fairy lights on too. 

Up early. Out with dog at 5.30am first footprints and paw prints in the snow! Yes we have snow! 

Then walked to work at 5.45am. Just me and the birds. Someone had made a little snowman at the shop next to ours. 

Extra hours worked . DD2 came and picked me up. She had to go in to town to pick up ink. I went to M&S whilst in town. A few yummy things and a few RTC things. 

Home. Hoovered and washed floors. Stripped bed which I still need to remake. (note to self do it soon before it’s bedtime!) 
snowy walk with doggy. 

Made BLT for late  lunch/early tea as DD2 working this evening. 

Long chat with friend on phone.
watching birds on a snow topped Christmas tree in the garden. Hello robin, hello wren and hello loads of sparrows. 

Beautiful blue sky. 

Thinking ahead to spring with garden plans. 

Keys have been dropped off so I can go and get jammies on! 

Watching Code Black. I’m on the final season ( boo) and how handsome is  Rob Lowe? ( answer : very,)

Evening all.

Pleasures for today
1. More marking ticked off the list
2. A walk around the 'long' block.  it's about 2 miles and it was bright blue sky and sunshine after a flurry of snow showers all morning
3. A baking session when i got back - 2 cakes.  One was lemon and elderflower (half had some goosegogs from the garden in it) and the other a mixed fruit tea bread that used up some dregs of dried fruit and a getting on a bit fruit tea bag.
4. Making risotto - i love to make risotto, it's so calming.  You just can't do anything else but stand and stir.  And there's leftovers
5. DD seems a little brighter.

Have a great evening all.
