5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Frith

Pleasures for today (Friday)

1) Bit of a lie in.

2) Phoned our medical centre as I couldn’t sign us up to the online app. None of us had been there since bigger son came back from Nepal with what they thought was malaria (it was cellulitis).
It was a palaver as they have to post out forms then we all have to go in bearing the forms plus photo ID! Anyway, this will mean bigger son is set up if he needs to do an online appointment with them once he’s left for his apprenticeship. They also said I’m in group 6 for the vaccine as I’m sole carer to a disabled person. I felt like bursting into tears at that - so looking forward to it! 

3) Took a load to washing to the launderette. I might continue taking my drying down there even after my washer has been mended. It’s so quick.

4) Bigger son and I went to the summit of the Clee Hill while the washing was doing. It was bitterly cold with patches of snow left. 

5) We made a lot of curry base sauce for tea, then a chicken korma from some of the sauce. Plenty for the freezer. 

6) In bed with new hot water bottle and will watch Last Leg just now.

Good Morning Folks,

Yesterday
1. We rewarded ourselves with a takeaway from the chip shop, as we had a good result from a meeting we were worried about.
2. Floor mopping, interspersed with lolling about reading MSE.
3. Watched another episode of Wallander. not as good as the Swedish language version, (Sorry Kenneth), but still good.
4. Cleaned out the handbag cupboard 😇.......now need to buy leather cleaner, as they all need reviving. I did manage to convince myself to EBay 2 of them........ (I have a bit of a handbag problem 😔).
5. Talking about garden plans with DH, while dog walking.......the Greyhounds have churned up the lawn. (A trip down the garden to put something on the compost heap is like walking the course at Hurlingham 🤣). We need a path/ race course.

Have a lovely day 🙂

For yesterday,

A sunny morning first thing, changed the bed and drove out to get several bags of horse carrots.

Made a loaf so fresh bread for lunch.

Mr Joe Root and his 100 in his 100th test match, what a batsman, oh and a mention for sportsmanship when he got cramp and the Indian Captain Kohli obliged with a stretch, good to see.

Not a pleasure as such but I hit a pothole on the way to the yard and by the time I got there had a flat 😡 luckily there is a garage next to the stables and a smashing chap came around, jacked up the mini and got the tyre off. Not mendable unfortunately but tyre ordered in and will be fitted on Monday. My beloved drove over and picked me up although stayed in his car all the time. That’s the third problem with that particular tyre so good riddance and go away now please!

Watched It’s a Sin and then headed to bed, clean sheets, mmm.

1) Covid vaccination all done, very safe, painless and it's the first time I've felt hopeful in an age!

2) Lovely frosty morning out there so I enjoyed the walk to the surgery and back, nose tingling cold though!

3) Morning coffee all set up and ready to run for when I get back from my morning walk.

4) Lots of rugby to watch on TV including the Six Nations Games...so love the rugby!

5) All the mundane little things that are everyday life, things I don't appreciate until I think about them, being warm, being fed,  seeing a neighbour and saying Hi!, peeling homegrown veg for soup, lighting the stove in the afternoon, so many and none of them anything except ordinary but when you think of it they're comforting because they're part of a nice life..

Hello.   Very wet indeed here - again! Everywhere is so muddy.

Was going to meet DD in the park but it's far too wet and horrible. She's still recovering well and has started working from home, but I don't think getting cold and wet is a good idea for either of us.

I decided today I was getting fed up with being fed up and mooching about doing very little. It was time to 'frame' myself and get something done! Accordingly I have made some candles, baked some biscuits, emailed some friends and done some mending I've been putting off for ages. I now feel I've earned the right to sit down with my tablet for a while!

The day after our vaccinations, we each got a  letter from the NHS inviting us to book our vaccinations on line! They are definitely determined to make sure no-one misses out.

And still it rains

Happy wet day everyone

Evening all 

Pleasures for yesterday
1. Watched half a Peaky Blinders and the last of the current series OH and i are working through (Informer)
2. We went for a walk along the canal
3. Later i went for a walk in the park with my friend and her little dog (i know, two in a day, don't tell the PM).
4. We ordered in pizza - the pleasure being that we didn't have to decide what to eat or to cook it.  The pizza was not a pleasure and next time i'll make my own for me (and possibly OH).
5. Did some job applications for research posts in some rather elite universities so i doubt i've much chance but it's all practice and you never know.

And today
1. More Peaky Blinders
2. Read some of my latest book (Becoming by Michelle Obama - i'm doing one new book then one old book otherwise the old ones won't get read)
3. yoga - without feeling sick
4. A long walk to the local shop - we were trying to avoid going but don't have what DS needs for his lunch tomorrow for work.
5. Lighter nights (and mornings) birds singing and snowdrops.  A bit of hope.

Have a great evening all.

Hello. Up early for work. There’s a shock! In at 5.45am. Home by 8.30am. 

Was a beautiful day in a bright and most definitely breezy way. So bright and breezy I hung out washing and it dried! 

Nice doggy walk with DD2, she was less moany today!
House tidy for me going back to work on full days. How quickly they come around.
Started a book. I’ve no idea where it came from but was in my bookcase. Dozed off with a big doggy on my knees.
Did a bit of tidying up the garden. Took down my Christmas wreath. That lasted well ( was now on my back door)

Quick doggy walk and was just coming in driveway when boss came with keys. Which meant I could get my jammies on! 

Tea came out the  freezer . A little chicken pie, a leftover baked potato from work, peas and from the fridge roasted butternut squash (rtc) and carrots and broccoli.

Pleasures for today (Saturday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) My brother put out a box of tins and provisions for bigger son to take with him when his apprenticeship starts.

3) Bigger son and I went for a drive to Edvin Loach to walk around. I had a vague memory that someone mentioned it was interesting and it was a Gilbert Scott church next to a ruined Saxon church on the site of a motte and bailey castle! 

4) Hens ok.

5) Wraps for tea.

6) Did the virtual pub quiz.

7) In bed with new hot water bottle and will watch Casualty just now.

Oh soddit....resolved to try again....passed no.3 osp, inc. pic.  More written and then... all gone again. 
Have so much tippy-tapping to do anyway, with all of today's police biz and statements being just one.  Very recent Town of Horse Emporium incident, Lainey, plus 2 &pics of offender.

1.  Yesterday's morning sun not forecast, but lovely.  Then, so suddenly, down rolled the grey curtain, wringing out rain for the rest of the day.

 Up on The Gallops, of course.  Many strings out.  Some waves from some riders known.  The old in-saddle need never really goes, as some of us know😙🏇.

3.  1st jabs sorted/done for couple, old charity colleagues, both 80+, inc.ex-RAF P., now frail.  Both more than needed and merited them. Turned out they'd slipped through wretched Suffolk systems.  There are known boundary issues between Town of Horse and Ipswich. 

4. Great and good coverage of Waitangi Day in NZ.  Jacinda's privileged ceremonial speech, then all the government doing the big outdoors breakfast, with much laughter and some burnt offerings.

The team of those 5 millions are mostly aware, mostly appreciative.  Long may this be the case.  Jacinda's landslide government certainly has a handle on transmissions and mutating needs for differing testing frequency and quarantine duration. 

5. Actually entered Bank, small chq. in🙂.  Sole customer, so back to our sort of expert rugby chat😁 - lovely S and &. re: which, today's phabuloso result for Scotland, who should have had another dozen points, with those missed penalties and conversion.  Loathsome Farrell, dirtiest player known in r.l by &, had a new scam today, gaming the ref. Just Red Card him for ever.

Maybe & will be snow-ploughing early demain to return 2 much-mended coats to D, his working fave and his bestie cashmere.  All buttons re-sewn, an L-rent in sleeve of bestie nearly invisible now, huge 20cm L-rents in lining of bestie very visibly mended, but still better done than not.  Finally, much white gloss paint pretty much removed over 4 sessions with white spirit and wotnottery. D had leant over a newly painted shelf.....all unknowing.
Then zoom church and another & covid test +3 days' isolation before final thumb op. Wednesday,  Goodbye hurty K-wires and, possibly, screw.  On verra. Big thing still is left thumb saved for l-h &.  Thankyou again, Mr G and NHS, DG.
