5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

ampersand

Well! Well! dd 😀👏.  Start the 30 days countdown as we speak 😁.

1. Continue clapping for little O.c.r J.m.s, 18 Capricorn days old. 😁.  Met with toulonnaise scientist rugby Mum.

2.....at last night's floodlit match in icy biting cold, but sparkling.  Ladies County championship - Cambridgeshire v Norfolk, won 20-19.  First night of new Bar Food menu was a resounding success and vindication.  Many items sold out .  These were a sensation: Wild Boar & Apple Scotch Duck Egg - soft-boiled duck egg, wrapped in herby wild boar and apple mince, covered in spicy breadcrumbs and served with pickles.

3. Video shared from old NZ schoolfriend.  First face2face with 1 twin, allowed home Christmas day, breathing unaided, 130 days old. Brother still on lowflow oxygen in hospital but fighting strongly. They should be together in a fortnight or so, with home oxygen.  Remarkable and miraculous.

4.  A lovely late gift , special tea removed, already 2 thermoses  Thankyou 👏👌👍😀


4. A lovely bouquet with extras.


5.  Snug right now and last few nights, listening to cricket.  Love my hwbs.

5a.  One of this week’s many disappeared pics - dug more potatoes.

Big day ahead.  More Raffle Harridan-ing.  More scream'n'shout v. Colchester - a toughie.
Thought of you at Club last night, vl, as we watched  THAT end of Har v. Car......  & may be an AB, but Marcus Smith is 🏉  joy!❤

Yes, we are on Sat 5th at 5.30 Frith, it’s on the red button but we hope to be watching it live!
Those eggs sounds delicious &

For yesterday,

Warm croissants for breakfast.

Changed the bed and went through the house, nice when it’s done.

As always time spent with my equine pal, it was a cold, but sunny afternoon and we hacked out across the fields. Good for my girl to have a change of scenery.

Making arrangements to meet up with friends for lunch next week, I have a voucher for the farm shop cafe so over my way.

Clean sheets and finishing my book in bed.

1. Ampersand - that match and a win. Have had nail biting end of matches over past couple of years especially. Accept that anything can happen in last 10. Minutes and frequent does.

2. Walk in the morning and saw deer silhouetted against the sky. Lovely sight. Spoke with a couple of people.

3. Tidied the house or at least downstairs. Things put away in the correct place.

4. Lasagne followed by gooseberry crumble for tea. Delicious.

5. Spoke with my parents on the phone. My Dad has a scan arranged which is good.

Pleasures for today (Saturday)

1) A lot of people seem to be sleeping badly at the moment. I was first woken up by bigger son moving his chest of drawers. Then because I dreamed someone was knocking at the door. Then I thought I heard smaller son call from his room so I said, "Hello?".  I was barely awake. He called out 3 more times until I woke properly to find I had been "answering" the calls of a pheasant in the garden!! 

2) Hens OK.

3) The house is reasonably tidy.

4) Had a cup of tea with my sister during the afternoon.

5) Our football team won again! 

6) Had meals from the freezer for tea then I made some Millie's Cookies.

7) Did the virtual pub quiz.

8) Watched Casualty.

Put some buttered bread out for the birds this morning.

Watched 2 young crows (not my mallen streaked ones) pick the butter off the bread.  Was amused by their butter smeared beaks.  They then left the picked clean bread and absconded with buttered chunks.  So smart.

For yesterday,

Lazy start then boiled egg with marmite soldiers for breakfast, it’s been a while since we had them.

Pottered around but also made time to read my latest book, borrowed from DB it’s a fantasy novel which isn’t my usual genre but I’m really enjoying it, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

Into cathedral city to meet a friend for a cuppa plus catch up, cake might also have been involved ☺️ good to see her as it’s been a few months.

Driving home and caught the last ten minutes of the United game, we nicked a last minute winner away to the Imps.

A treat for tea, steak with roasted veg.

Morning all - just

Pleasures for Fri

1. Stunning drive down to welsh wales. once I got out of the fog, the sky was an amazing blue and the lake was like a mirror
2. House ok - haven't seen it for a bit but all was well.  And relax
3. Walked by the sea and watched the stunning sunset
4. meal in the pub with friends.
5. Not drinking meant I could drive home and not ride my bike (haven't ridden it since i broke my wrist - didn't think a cold january night was the time to start!)

And yesterday

1. 8 hours sleep - bliss
2. Was dragged through a hedge - before laying it.
3. Felt a little spring - ish - false optimism, I fear
4. Dinner at friends' house - yummy salmon tagine and i provided pud
5. They provided 'no secco' - it was ok, rather sweet but an improvement on alcohol free wines of the past.

Have a great day all - now it's stopped raining, i'm going to lay a bit more hedge.

Good afternoon

A much better day today.  Yesterday was frosty and foggy all day but today it's bright and sunny.

DS came round yesterday with toddler DGD. She's 18 months old, and although they live nearby, we've rarely seen her, what with restrictions and illnesses. We had a lovely couple of hours getting to know each other.

Breakfast at garden centre this morning with DD and partner.  I decided to be sensible for once and had mushrooms and hash browns instead of my usual cake!

Chilli from freezer for tea. Must make some space in that freezer!

More Monty Don in the Adriatic last night.  Some places we've been to, and some to add to the list!

 Happy 🌞 day everyone

Hello. Day one done! One more to do. 

Lovely doggy walk first thing, just us and the birds and an inky blue sky. 

Very busy day, meh tips but enough to buy some primroses tomorrow. 

And nice to be home and still light. 

Yesterday we went out for a morning scone. 

Then in to town. 

Popped in to mums…house a tip after a whole 2 days. It’s quite dispiriting. 

Then home and booked a little holiday for me and my doggy. Something to look forward to. 

Had leftover takeaway for tea.

Then a nice chat with friend on phone.
