5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Quick update.

My SIL's lumps were Lipoma/fatty lumps.  Phew and Yippeeeeee........

My blood results came in at high white cell count, very high lymphocyte count.  Indication (perhaps) of viral infection and could explain dizziness and chest pains, so not anxiety.  Or it could be something else, which I am not going to think about.  Have ordered postal Covid test.  Then further blood test.

In the meantime ONE heater has turned up.  Better than nothing.

Pleasures for today (Monday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Drove bigger son to his new job. A very quick hello to his fellow apprentices. He’s been ok so far and cooked chilli and put some in the freezer! 

3) Popped in to Waitrose on the way home (we don’t have a branch near us so I do pop in to this one on the rare occasion I am passing). 

4) Hens ok.

5) Started the bigger son gone tidy up! 

6) Went to the launderette and walked a few miles while the washing went round. 

7) My replacement washing machine voucher arrived. 

8) Tasty tea of pork loin chops in cream sauce (a smaller son favourite) with veg.

9) Just did the first online session of the Mental Health First Aider course.

10) Will go to bed just now and watch DIY SOS then Pottery Throwdown.

A day of much work. 

Was dark when I went in and dark when I went out...only saw daylight from afar!
Stayed on to do planning for Mother’s  Day . I may have had the photo shoot scones for my tea. 

Went a quick walk when I got home. 

The welcome home from the dog. It’s been too long...I know . 

Tips. Meh but in the jars they go anyway.

Happy Tuesday Folks!

OMG! 41 posts since I last looked......it may take me a while 🙂

Recents
1. Valentines 'Disco' themed evening was a success. Cocktails are always welcomed in our house 🥳
2. Some eBay successes......I have set up a page for DMiL who has moved to a care home. DSiL has started to clear her wardrobes. They are full of clothes from M&S which have never been worn 😱 I am going to list them on the Bay. Any sales will go into an account for treats for her 🙂
3. Retreating to DS2 bedroom to use the sewing machine is a sanctuary. DD has yoga, DH has his Sci fi programmes, DS1 has his PlayStation etc........If it gets too much, I plan to escape to Kinver to live in a cave with Boy Greyhound. 🤣
4. Sorting and minimising of shelves, cupboards and storage boxes continues. I can see a difference, which makes me feel happy. 🙂
5. Saved the best till last.......DD has got her dream job 🥳 A professional dance job for an international designer. We celebrated with pink Prosecco. Soooooo happy for her ❤️

Have a lovely day 🙂

1. Work - it was ok.  Phone call with someone who doesn't speak English is interesting.
2. Did weekly shop which didn't cost too much.
3. Some of the wooden floor is laid. I'm happy with it.
4. Fishcakes for tea.
5. Watched Only Connect

Woohoo, congratulations to HE’s daughter on getting the job 🎉
For yesterday,

Opening the back door to let small dog out first thing and not getting an artic blast in the face, much milder.

Capt S had a catch up chat with consultant, latest blood tests show lowered inflammation indicators which is good, she still wants to send him for a scan though. He gets bad cramps as a result of the steroids, she recommended upping quinine and potassium intake so a banana split with a chaser of a G&T it is ☺️

Long periods of sunshine and over at the yard all the equines were giddy with the excitement of no rugs, two of the small ponies were doing zoomies around their paddock, bless them.

My beauties grey muzzle and planting a kiss on the softest part.

The days are stretching out and no lamps needed until nearly 6.

1) Sunshine and a temperature of 11 degrees!

2) It's youngest DDs birthday.

3) Have collected shopping from DD1 and seen the Grandpickle this morning both from a distance but still cheering stuff.

4) It's not wet so we can go for another decent walk this afternoon after lunch, nice to get outside once a day and get some exercise.

5) Dippy eggs and soldiers for lunch.....what more is needed to cheer???

Hugs bala - I admire your cheerfulness in the face of what you're having to tolerate.  Hope you get some resolution
Hope DS gets on OK, Frith.
Pleasures for yesterday

1. Sunshine and warmer temperatures
2. Reading my book (Bill Bryon - One summer, America, 1927).  Fascinated with the story of Charles Lindbergh - why has no-one made a film of his life?
3. A walk to town to pick up my new electric toothbrush bought with nectar points so free (ish)
4. Washing hung on the line and partially dried
5. Finished 'it's a sin' - again!

Have a great pancake day all

Good afternoon all, pleasures for yesterday...

Half term so no alarm clock set for the morning. We slept until almost 8am. It's very rare that I get a lie-in. Welcomed even more as it was blood test day and I wasn't allowed breakfast.

Spare bed and a chest of drawers with a broken bottom drawer gone to the tip. I've had the chest of drawers since I was 28 so after 25 years it didn't owe me anything. I need to start taking things off the shelves in the spare room now because the shelves are going back into the cupboard in the HT's bedroom. 

The HT has agreed that he probably doesn't need or want all the things that were crammed into the afore mentioned cupboard. The stuff that he doesn't want to keep will be divided between the bay of E, the charity shop and the bin.  

Leaving the house to collect my looked after person and feeling the sun warm on my face. After walking in the minus temps on Saturday, warm sun was a very welcome change.

Work finished, hot bath and pjs then reading for a bit before bed. I was tired yesterday. I blame the lack of breakfast

Congrats to Miss H_E on her new job!

Take care all of you
