5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Frith

Pleasures for today (Wednesday)

1) Bit of a lie in.

2) I thought I’d leave a major house clean until after bigger son moved out (next Monday) but I couldn’t bear it any more so did the whole of the downstairs! 

3) Hens ok.

4) My sister was after an old computer keyboard as her school are trying to sort out second hand computers for families. So I found ours under the stairs and took it over. I had a socially distanced walk with my sister and niece to the “fairy tree” which my niece has tied some ribbons and decorations on to. 

5) Made a nice curry for tea with bigger son. Courgettes for me, rice and naan for sons. 

6) Watched Holby.

Hello. Very late o’clock for me! Another night of being sat at table working out shopping lists for huuuge weekend of catering. Just went a very late walk with doggy and popped them through bosses letterbox. She gets to buy it all! 

In at work early. Another smattering of snow overnight but not much...just as if a beanbag has burst open and scattered over the streets.
Home and lovely chat with my best friend from Melbourne. Always lovely to catch up. 

Stood in sons bedroom watching the snowflakes fall and swirl. There’s a lovely view to distant hills. 

Big walk over the fields. Met friend with her big pup...not sure who was chasing who but she puffed my doggy out! Beautiful day though extremely cold. 

DD2 had a hospital appointment so I sat in the car for about an hour whilst she had a scan. Read my book. Which I finished when I came home. Lovely scenery all the way to hospital ( about a half hour drive away through lovely countryside. Potholes not so lovely. 

Sat and read till I finished book. Had a twenty minute snoozette then time to hit the books! Mind slightly scrambled at the volume of it all! 

And then an unexpected walk. No one else out so no other doggies to watch out for. Mr H not always friendly! So that was nice and he just wagged his tail all the way as if he knew it was a cheeky wee extra walk! A star filled sky.

Good morning Lovelies,

BoP - We still get emails from Intrepid......I don't know when DH thinks he will be going again 🤣 We had a nice sit down and a drink under Concord 🙂
HappyCas -  we too are struggling with the timeline in the Serpent, but we will persevere!

Mhags - Greyhounds are definitely a breed apart 🤣..... When they lie down, they sit, and then flop over. That is how they like to spend the day.  45mph Couch potatoes. Also, they are not supposed to bark, but our boy dog didn't get that email. 

Recents
1. Snowy walk along a disused railway line to the local coffee shop. Met some friends and swapped birthday presents. Doggies all got on well, and we caught up with each other's news 🙂
2. DD driving to and from work has been lovely this week. She is in a good mood 🙄. Nice chats. Drove the long way around the reservoir a few times, through some lovely scenery. 

3. The sorting and tidying of a drawer a day continues with the drawers in the utility and the wrapping paper at the back of the wardrobe.
4. Free O2 Caffè Nero......hot chocolate with cream 🙂
5. Pork chop with chips and beans last night. Simple, yet satisfying 🤣

Have a lovely day 🙂

1. Everywhere looks lovely with snow covering it.
2. Seeing photos of my sister's puppy.
3. Mostly cleared a cupboard. Sorted through paperwork and have loads of it left to shred. I've been meaning to do it for ages.
4. A walk in the snow.
5. Left over chicken pie for tea.

For yesterday,

A jug of tulips on the table, cheery flowers.

Dug out the sandwich maker from the depths of the cupboard and we had toasties & salad for lunch.

A curtain of icicles in a hedge next to the road, must have been from where the cars kept going through the puddles.

The equine girlie is shedding her winter coat, nothing to do with the current oh so cold temperatures but a response to lengthening days & more light, white hair everywhere. My Grampy, a seasoned old horseman would always purse his lips and blow when grooming, good way to keep hair out of mouth!

L/O cottage pie for tea followed by two salted caramel Lindor chocs, yum.

1. Best glam for yesterday's theatre outing😁 

2. Took longer than planned. Many more extra hurty jabs this time,  but ALL DONE, wonderfully.  Terrific team again. 

4-6 weeks again, same 'Heart-High, Flat, Dry' rules as last time, but little pain, less swelling.  Won't be nearly so arduous.  Shown removed K-wires.....hmmmm, rather toothpick-looking.  Job done.

3. Put to bed in ward and brought late chicken lunch after 7hrs' theatre. 😃Very spoilt!  Again, all praise all round.  Addenbrookes follow-up sorted. So fortunate, so lucky & has been, still is.

4. Took self, in fading light en route back, up on to The Gallops.  Many peeps have been posting yesterday's haunting sunset/clouds  pics. There was something of wolf moon happening to sunset yesterday,  definitely......and sun did not go down until 1802h.  Yippee!!!  Days are lengthening.

5.  Being here to write and read osps.
Reading of McCulloch's continuing recovery, hospital tfr and ongoing care.
She was being bossed and hot choc+cookie looked after last night, with 100s of well-wishers insisting she does as told while there🙂👌👍🙏❤.
From all of us, too.👏
KIA KAHA AROHANUI! 1🇳🇿🌹♥️

Still this msg comes up on landline:
"Line is in use. Your call cannot be made."
It's nonsense. Line isn't in use, but & cannot make calls, especially to check on oldest Northern hemisphere friend in France.  John Lewis's Nathan tried everything.  No luck. Google solutions don't solve.  Bop - any ideas, please?
*& lifts handset, green graphic.
*&dials - any no., not just France.  Handset graphic now red, closes call. 
*Msg shows - 'Your call lasted 1 second', followed by 'Line in use... 'blahblah.

Bop, those were all obligatory changed togs.
Can you, or anyone, help re: landline nonsense? 

Nargleblast

Ampersand, if you have a mobile phone, try contacting your landline phone service provider about the problem. Alternatively you might find it easier to go on to their website - if they have a web chat/live chat facility, it will be easy to explain the problem to them.

Oh ampersand - I thought you were going yesterday for a final dressing removal. This is really a big job! Please try to do as you're told.

BoP - Cleethorpes? Not been there for ages.

Another bright but very cold day.   Still little patches of snow and lots of slippy ice.

Just made a chocolate cake.   I seem to be going round a loop of making the same things, but never seem to have all the ingredients to make something different.   Time to get organised, I think.

Lots of good ' keeping in touch'  emails this week from far and wide, inc Canada and Australia. I'm enjoying replying, and waiting for replies.

Nearly finished my tiny elephant.   To say it's so little, it's taken some knitting!

Happy Thursday everyone
