5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

VJsmum

LOL DD - I kind of pictured you actually typing !!!!  (why are there 6 exclamation marks in yours rather than four, I wonder?)
DforV - no hanging of anything anywhere yesterday, t'was a day most foul
Mhags - I dream vividly too. 

Pleasures for yesterday

1. Being warm(ish) and dry despite what was going on outside
2. watching the home video i'd had transferred to DVD for OH's christmas present.  Unbearably cute kiddies (and earlier on in the video, I'd been a bit mean to DD (born out of frustration, I think) but this section was OK - of course, what the video doesn't show is the point where i (hopefully) put the camera down, said sorry and gave her a huge cuddle). 
3. Wrote some of my lectures for next week.
4. Planned our upcoming trip to Vietnam
5. went to friends for dinner 

Have a good day all - am planning a circuit by the sea.

Yesterday's goodies

1.  Had a lovely night's sleep, have been sleeping so much better in recent weeks

2.  Beloved saved me the 20 minute walk to the bus stop in the morning

3. DD made a delicious zebra (our word for marble) cake, and there'll be plenty for pudding tonight

4.  Return to work was lovely, as the whole university has been off, so didn't come back to millions of emails

5.  Really enjoyed my Welsh lesson, as I always do, even though, as I always do, wasn't feeling in the mood 5 minutes beforehand!

Oh, SuffolkSue, my heart goes out to you. Nothing is ever the same, is it? We carry on through life and find pleasures where we can but the finalness (if that is even a word) of our losses just hurts so much. 'Gone' is such a hard concept to get your head round, isn't it?  I have, of course, lost so many people as is inevitable when you get to my age, but not a child so I can't even begin to imagine how you feel. The saying 'Grief is love with nowhere to go' has stayed in my mind, and of course your grief is huge because your love was too. 
I am thinking about you and your grandchildren and send love to you all xx

1. Quiet roads on my hour long bus commute and I got to sit in my favourite seat (I'm so easily pleased!)

2. DD and I have been invited to a museum exhibition private view next month. V. Exciting!

3. More delicious cake for pudding tonight.

4. Beloved and I found a new dinner set (well, we ended up buying 8 rather than 4 place settings) whilst meandering through Waitrose on our way home. We have quite a few chipped plates to get rid of!

5. Lovely cuddles with our girl cat on the sofa. We missed out last night as I was too tired after Welsh!

One of quite a few resolutions is to get back into writing my 5 a day..

1 Up early today as neither of us could sleep, of course I’m feeling tired now but trying to ignore it to sleep better later.

2 All of the decorations came down today, and I’m not sorry to pack them up, thou I am a bit bemused about how they can age with minimum use.

3 We never have mash in normally as old potatoes a very bad for blood sugar, but we have a homemade mix of last of the swede and potatoes, so I can make up a corned beef hash as a one-off.

4 I am reading a fascinating new book, almost by mistake, its “An immense world, how the animal senses, reveal the hidden world around us.

5 Seeing the woodpeckers and numerous birds on the feeders, also cleared 2 large garden bags of debris, although I’m too late and couldn’t cut the rather large hydrangea back as it’s already started budding all over
