Can’t wait till it lightens up then we can go a decent walk before work but wouldn’t walk there in the dark.A day that went on forever but finally finished and okay tips, in the jam jar.DD2 starting a new job so was in for a training session today so so much chatter since she got in…I must have said about 400 times ‘ I’m going for a shower!’ So I am now going for a hot shower and jammies on!Dog delighted to see me when I got in and I to see him.Looking out right now at the full moon. Right outside my bedroom window.Beautiful sky as the sun was setting. It is a palpable joy to leave work in daylight.11

2) and left over curry and rice for lunch (just as well as nooooo time for any breaks between 9 and 6 today - switched off camera and came down to heat up lunch at one meeting)
3) beautiful day - did manage to get washing out before work and get it in and airing after
4) and a beautiful wolf moon - walked the dogs and talked to my dad before making mince round supper
5) an evening of emails (boo) but now January 17: Hot Buttered Rum Day - taking mine to bed with me along with a good book. Is it really only Monday? Sure I've done a week of work already! and Dr M has texted to say whether or not Leicester game goes ahead we must still have a drink.MrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025

Dr M is getting keen 😉
Recent pleasures:
Seeing the pale moon in beautiful blue skies during the day.
The feeling of the sun on my face whilst out walking.
Good food: sausage in a roll at the park, beef casserole and leftovers made into a pie and sprouts (sorry Admiral)
Lots of squirrels scurrying around in the leaves at the park.
As always, reading your pleasures.
Night all 💤12 -
Pleasures for today (Monday)
1) Smaller son went to college! A full day.
2) Hens OK.
3) Tidied up and cleaned the bathroom.
4) Made a phone call to see if we will get any refund for the hotel/Manchester United match that we missed in December. Even a bit of a refund could go towards a night in a hotel at some point.
5) Signed up for the Oddbox veg and fruit box delivery. Hopefully this will spur me into cooking something different.
6) Went to M and S to redeem a voucher for some free teabags.
7) Watched Who do You Think You Are?
8) smaller son said his TA has bought a calendar of son’s football team and put it up in the classroom for him (despite the TA being a Hereford supporter!)12 -
1. Another day done at work. Had a department meeting in the afternoon. Some others agreed with me on a point that my managers deny happens. Perhaps I may be believed on it.
2. A friend sent me some lovely photos of her son.
3. Long chat with DS1 on the phone. He is away on Wednesday for first of his many short breaks this year!
4. Finished ironing the huge pile of ironing. The pleasure is I now have clothes to wear.
5. Watched Only Connect.12 -
1. What a Wolf moon in a crisp starry sky! & has dedicated it to a friend as a birthday starter.😁😇
2. Another Scotsdales visit, useful and necessary for another big sack of birdie munch. New kind, visible through pkg'g, which & likes to see + 5kg peanuts, to trigger the £5 discount voucher.👏 Lovely check-out lady said, pointing, 'Take some calendars. They're all free now'. Thankyou. This one's already a giftie😀:

4. Renewed hwb to bring back to bed with brekkie for intense Oz open tennis listening on R5liveX. Andy's battling for the deciding set. &'s joy at absence of novax djokovic is unalloyed. Yea, Andy's 3 love up!
5. First article subbed for preview, little to rewrite👌. Away to Thurrock on Saturday. Starting to feel away matches are my non-working, 'time out' ones and may increasingly treat myself to unbudgeted fuel for them.

For yesterday,
A much better nights sleep and waking up refreshed.
Into horsey town for supplies, the racehorse strings were all bouncing along in the cold, frosty air.
Over to see my own horse, we worked in the school over poles and bending into ever decreasing circles.
Another admirer of the Wolf moon, rising above the trees as I arrived home from the yard, went back out a bit later to enjoy it fully.
Uni Challenge and testing the little grey cells.
