5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

LaineyT

Belated birthday greeting Mhags, sounds like you had a grand day.

For yesterday,

Did a bit of financial planning and opened a new savings account.

Had an appointment at the local hospital, one of those slightly unpleasant but necessary women’s health ones, pleasure is it was done v quickly and sorted now for three years.

Another chat with D Uncle, he’s recently been bereaved and needed a chat.

Capt S out for lunch at the Ivy in Uni city, being wined and dined by co solicitor, all right for some eh 😉 I had beans on toast!

Didnt feel 100% so gave myself the afternoon off, read my book and listened to the lovely Ella F.

Happy birthday for yesterday MHags, was also my OH’s.
As it was his birthday he had the day off .  As weather was drizzly we abandoned idea of going to the coast and set off to an old market town about an hour away.
An enjoyable lunch at a very nice Spoons ( he had his usual mixed grill and pint 🍺 of Doombar and I had 3 small plates, 2 of which were very nice and a glass of wine 🍷)
We then wandered around the town looking at the old buildings and castle ruins.  Visited a few shops (only bought birthday cards) then round the market and bought fruit.  Then headed for home.
Feet up, caught up on the remembrance service for Prince Phillip, no dinner needed just a cup of tea and a hot cross bun.  Good day and an early night 💤
Have a good Wednesday 😊

Primroses! Pansies gone wrong?
Bath day for Mhags!
Crumpets! Good Food!
Dump Run.
Snorkers, Spag Bol. Proper Food! Try spag bol with cherry toms!
Chinese meal to right the world!
Beans on Toast! Top Scran!

Bring Good to Others!

Had buzzard poodle soup last nite with salad and chicken bits. Some strawbs as well!

Did the uni quiz, only one too go now! Then watched the Engerland match, wobbleade and cheese was taken as well! Very good, but the Ivory Coast played poor?

Had the poached egg and mushrooms for brakefest this day, with me mug of tee as well!

Swept the floors and mopped up. Kitty not happy as her bowls are on the side while it dries!

Now sit with me mug of tee waiting for floors to dry out and sore tin the Tour that is coming up very soon!

Jen does her best ever!

Keep Safe!

so ended up with 11 meetings. m'eh. expect food-based pleasures again!
1) winter is back - lined my tum with porridge, berries and yoghurt, yum
2) hm curried parsnip soup followed by sardines on toast - I forget how yummy sardines on toast are
3) a very good PPR (periodic programme review, my first as Associate Dean of Quality and Academic Standards for the School)
4) was going to walk the boys up balgay but it started to sleet heavily so we only went to the top of the road. nice to be back in the warm (and yes the heating is back on!)
5) should have been spag bol for supper but the frozen object in the freezer i had identified as  beef mince is actually sausage meat. so it's meatballs in tomato sauce with pasta. yum. Then i think I'll finish the Ipcress Files and have an early night only 7 meetings tomorrow but a couple of long ones...

Frith

I read that as "periodic table review", DD, which would have been complicated. 

Quite ill today. I've had a little wheezy cough for a week or two so decided that was probably hay fever. Suddenly got lots of other symptoms - terrible sore throat overnight (gone as quickly as it appeared), headache, leg ache (!) So I didn't do half the things I intended today. 

Pleasures for today (Wednesday)

1) Not a bad sleep, considering I couldn't swallow so convinced myself I had caught diphtheria. 

2) Bigger son came home and is staying overnight. He has been spuddling in his shed all day.

3) Work has started on the new houses opposite. Not a pleasure as such, but it couldn't look any worse than it does at present (literally a building site!) and it might be interesting to see how the work progresses. They have cut the plans from when I moved here in 1999 from 21 houses, to 17, to 5 and now only 4. Its the drainage (no sewers) that has stopped them. 

4) Managed to drive and get smaller son from college, despite weird zappy eyes. We stopped at Waitrose cafe, which was scheduled for Mother's Day but had to be cancelled due to a meltdown. Quite a lot of fretting and choosing of the correct table but he says he would go again. 

5) Smaller son made the tea. 

6) In bed and will listen to some podcasts. 

7) Had to miss an online museum training 1.5 hour thing but they have emailed me the information.

It’s snowing! 

Just popped heating on for a wee bit, although it’s  been blooming freezing all day outside it was actually sunny which was shining through the window and felt warm however it now feels blooming cold! 

Up early. Oooft! But home by 7am

Saw a fox and a fox saw me at 4.45am! 

Picked up some new to me items ( lamps mirror ) once new windows go in next week will be sorting out spare rooms. Have blinds / curtains to go up but no point till windows are in. 

Finished painting the free TV unit I got the other week. Pleased with how it’s turned out. 

Ate birthday chocolate. 

Had a massive sleep in the afternoon! Can’t even begin to call it a snooze and certainly not a snoozette! I think I’ve caught up on my missing hours when the alarm goes off too early! 

Finished the book I was reading. 20p well spent! 

Lovely birthday card arrived from DD1 with a lovely enamel echidna brooch. 

Nice chat to friend from Melbourne this morning. 

Dropped off DD2 at work. And she never took a house key so I have to wait up till she’s home. Grrr! 

Sorted out all my lovely flowers. 

Took curtains down in lounge. I have never really liked them and in spring/ summer I like to feel like it’s almost in the garden . Then it snowed…hmmm! Anyway they are going back to a charity shop and I’ll keep an eye on something I do like. 

And thank you for lovely birthday wishes! I really did have a day most lovely.

1. Babysat grandson.  "Nanny I go home with you and grandad". Love that boy!
2. 11° in the kitchen when we got home but I'd prepared the woodburner before we left so warmer within a few minutes.
3. Daughters smile when she came home after getting a (child free) haircut:D
4. Talked to both my best friends.  I'm pretty sure ones about to have a breakdown and the other lost a mate in the Ukrainian army.  Strange conversations. 
5. Daughter loved her birthday books and was most impressed by my ribbon roses I'd decorated her parcel with.

Happy belated birthday Mhags.

1. The blossom on the trees on the drive to work.

2. Not too bad a day - managed to be busy enough so I didn't need to do a training course online.

3. Messaged a colleague who has Covid and she is recovering. She also thanked me for covering her. It is a small thing but made me feel good.

4. Ducks still paying visits to the garden.

5. Roasted veg for tea.

For yesterday,

I suddenly remembered the present that I tucked away last year for DSIL, it’s her birthday at the weekend and was contemplating what I could buy her.

Over to the yard as expecting a farrier visit but he messaged to say had been let down by apprentice so could we rearrange, had already got pony in but feeling a bit bleurgh myself so it was just a walk / graze in hand.

Tomato and red pepper soup for lunch.

Chat with other DSIL and arrangements made for a meet up.

Parcel in the post from WOB so a reassuringly high pile of books on bedside table.

Gammon with bean mash & greens for tea.
