5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Frith

I don't know if I can do apostrophes or not? Isn't it possible? My computer's keyboard...


Pleasures for today (Wednesday).


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Bigger son's transformation since Black Friday continues. Today he went to college without complaint, got a different bus from there to my sister's, helped carry furniture in, chopped 2 dead trees down and left me with a massive pile of logs, was helpful and cheerful and carved 2 spoons!


3) Smaller son had his turn to be awful at home this morning then at school. Behaviour points accumulated for more rudeness and messages (from son) for me to collect him early today. I said no so he rubbed his face with an elastic band (he's allergic to latex, so not as random as it sounds!) thinking I would pick him up if he had a swollen face and itchy eyes but no, I didn't! I was secretly a bit startled by such cunning. A meeting awaits for me at school. :-/


4) Hens well and another egg.


5) Had a bit of a tidy up after a few days of serious painting etc at my sister's new house. Washing, my bed changed, floors hoovered and steamed etc.


6) Banana pancakes for breakfast, hummus and salad for lunch and veg chilli (HM from freezer) and cauliflower rice for tea.


7) Stove is working much better now bigger son has mended the air intake at the top (another of his helpful jobs) so it is 25 degrees downstairs despite no central heating, draughts, solid walls and so on.


8) Watched Holby.

Hi everyone,

My OS pleasures for today

1. Having brought ALL my & DH’s clothes downstairs, the sorting etc is going reasonably well - had 6 x two foot high piles reduced to 3:j If they are being kept, they are ironed & put away immediately. The rest are either Rag bagged or cs’d. I must say having it all in front of you & seeing it reducing is wonderful:j

2. Spare room now has a blind & the curtain pole is up - beginning to look ‘spiffing’:)

3. DSis phoned - DBro has been packed off back to Germany. She also received the box of tea bags I posted last week:) Still quite cheerful which means I can be cheerful without feeling guilty:D

4. DH treated us to curry tonight - so tomorrow’s dinner is sorted! Yum yum!

5. Reading everyone else’s pleasures.

Good night

1 I was up early so we made use of the time and went out, to the garden centre for planned needed soil, we have a houseplant mould problem so have to change the soil in all as we tried sterilising and it came back, hard work to do but I didn’t want to lose the plants. DH also found something to use as something else. I nearly fainted at some of the prices thou.

2 DH went off to get keys cut while I caught up with SIL again on text, and wrote out a birthday card to her son, nice I remembered for once.:cool:

3 I complimented a biscuit place as I mentioned they worked well at the wake and they very kindly sent a free box. Happy days..:)


4 We popped over to the local fruit and veg stall for peppers and cawli and pondered around the cheap shops wilko and b&m for other bits we forgot we needed.:rotfl:

5 The birds and squirrel! are all restocked.

6 We had lunch out at a cafe and it was delicious chicken salad with chips, and we could walk it off after.:)

Wednesday pleasures,

Soaked oats with almond milk for breakfast, milk makes me feel eurgh if eaten first thing so glad to have found alternative.

Recycled an unwanted futon and moved some furniture around, change etc.

Out for lunch at a new RB brassiere in pal's home village, lovely to catch up with my friends but food was expensive for what it was and service a tad lacking :eek:

Have a vase of daffodils on the dining room mantle piece and can smell them when walk past.

Silent Witness, is it just me that thinks this series isn't as good as previous ones...

DD. I normally shorten that word to the first five letters and add an s. I could not do it here!

5 Only yesterday BoP forewarned you that his investments had hit rock bottom and he was expecting to work another month just to get back what was lost! And like the number 9 bus, along comes kick back and over half of the days loss has been made up already. If you were affected yesterday and banged out, tuff! In financial terms this is known as a dead cats bounce. If you have watched Mr Deeds on Flick Nets as well, you would understand how a cat can bounce as well!

4 BoPsie has been given freedom of the town this morning as she is having coffee and other girl things. No toenails are expected to be painted! No doubt I will get the gossip. On buck of farce front, one girl has expressed how dire this date of internet thing is. Although BoP has been off market for over nearly thirty two years, there appears to be some … Avoid!

3 As BoPsie is in town today, and that meant nicking BoP’s wheels of steal, BoP had to pack his own lunch box and it is well packed this morning! More cheese, more Bourneville, more salad, and snorker rolls. Tum is being well rubbed! Proper foods, and packed to the gunnels! Not going to starve today!

2 Morrow the room of dine for the house will be finished painting, and all BoP will has to do is put up the curtains! Then the floor goes inn next weak and that is it for the year! Come easter we can watch the buffuns at the DiY centre collect paint and …

That is all for today in this version of the Life of BoP

1) Good runs to and from DD1s.

2) Being back home again after a not very restful might in a hotel.

3) Finding an amazing house that has the best and biggest kitchen I've been in barring stately homes.....down side...very little garden.

4) Walking round the small market town where it's situated and finding some really lovely friendly people in shops who were so welcoming.

5) Best if smallest pleasure was meeting 2 x Wolf Hound puppies when we went exploring the local walk round the lake, almost 5 months old, totally hairy, big footed and long tailed wonderfulness.....Mulligan and Bodkin you are fantastic!!!

I said that about our garden, when we moved in thirty years ago, but since arthritis visited, I've never been so grateful. Either a local gardener or my grandson can do all that needs doing in a couple of hours. Obvs, I hope you stay arthritis free and can enjoy a large garden, but food for thought?

1. The first ever totally perfect piece of extended (100 word +) writing from any one of my clients. 69 years old, too.

2, Lovely night at the live music club.

3. Tummy behaving, and I could enjoy my food. No cheese here, so I ended up with two pizza rosso for tea yesterday. Thanks to an Am@zon Pantry delivery I have more sundried tomatoes for the next one. This service is so useful, restocked me with all sorts of little bits and introduced a bit of variety that I wouldn't have had otherwise. I have to buy four items from a particular selection for free postage, so once again I got to try things I wouldn't have normally bought. This time it was golden syrup flavoured Weetabix and some high protein cereal bars. I love the Weetabix. The golden syrup flavour means they still taste lovely without sugar.

The Am@zon Pantry service is exclusive to Prime members, but I easily save the money I would have spent in postage in just twenty or so Prime purchases, so the subscription is a no brainer.

4. The lovely surprise of an unexpected book in the post. Thank you once again!

5. Your pleasures, thank you.

1 A recommended chap came around to measure up for new front and back doors. Very decisively we made our choices and he’s going to let us know the price, I hope it’s in budget, and its nice to have things moving along, a composite front door and upvc stable back door.
2 Walked to the post box to send off some paperwork about DF.
3 The police came back around tonight, nice that they are taking it seriously.
4 I made more leeway on the bedroom, more things moved to their rightful places, 4 pillows made up for the bed which is semi visible, and 4 bags of rubbish created. Still a long way to go but we are creating space for bits of DF’s quality furniture its nice to keep in the family.
5 Our 4-legged children happy we are starting to restore “normal” helping put up cctv.
6 pasta and veg with chopped rtc snorkers is a grab and run tea.
7 The lovely biscuit people sent a massive box of 200 biscuits, packed in handy individual packs of 2, with a note saying hope you get a chance to enjoy these.

Not a pleasure I dropped everything, rang the vets and batted off as they are a commute away, I always dread these things as so far, I’ve never just had a you’re a paranoid parent visit, I would rather just be paranoid!

I noticed one of our little uns just wasn’t right and when you notice you have to act fast in these guys. They think he’s got a heart infection or problem, he has a temperature and has been admitted into vet hospital with his mate to try and keep him good company. I’m worried sick they will be doing fluids and antibiotic injections tonight, I can phone tomorrow after 10am, as opposed to camping out on the floor there!:o:eek:

For today :
Damp but mild.
Very muddy dog walk and had to watch each step as so slippy. But I stopped to take in what was around me. Do an immediate 5 good things. Saw birds nests in the trees I haven't noticed before.

Popped along to friend/ neighbours to borrow scales to weigh cases. Wee blether & then same when I returned them.

Walked a decent walk to mobile library as I will miss it when it's due in our street next. Books were due back.

My lovely girl is away back to Melbourne . Big long journey. A friend kindly took her to airport.

Her room has been very quickly transformed to a nice tidy one! Bedding changed. Hoovered. Damp dusted. Chair from my room & new to us bedside table from friends in situ...and the clothes airers! Looking very tidy. She is not very tidy but I love regardless!
