5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

DfV Another epic post, and sanity is overrated :-)

1-5 Kit is back from the vets, phew still a long way to go. He had a random abscess all across his head from his nose, he now has a gaping hole under his eye, so many painkillers and antibiotics, they couldn't find any reason for it. He's so relaxed about life that the vet thought he'd already been knocked out as he just laid down

The first casserole of the season.

Feeling rather rough at the moment, so saving the rest for a bit.

Yes, DD, absolutely agree re: DT's Hamlet.

1. Six Mini&Youth match reports already in and tweaked.  Excellent -  Preview & loves early!😁  It's noticeable how often writers report we were the only Club to field full or multiple teams, or loan players to opponents.  It really is a testament to the Peacock family ethos.🦚🏉

2. This afternoon, R4:

3. &'s home province - https://www.facebook.com/groups/hbnotices/permalink/2548251458669941/.

4. Today's follow-up call came exactly on time @1215h.  Dropped once, but renewed.  All in hand.  DG for the NHS. 

5. &'s grapes are turning into wine on the vine!  Also yummy.😋

Pk - just catching your post.  I do hope you can be well on all levels very, very soon - and ditto for Kit, of course.  I have been so fortunate so far and today we are all into another day.

P-K - wishing good results for Kit. I can see how much your ferrets mean to you. They are important family members.
Give Kit some hugs.

For Monday : 

Well my start to the day did not go quite as planned! Was 2/3 of the way to car garage in next town when DD2 called to say they had covid . Grrrr. Grrr to covid obviously but grrr to being 2/3 of the way there and having to turn back. I was supposed to be bringing them back after they dropped their car off! Grrr.

Anyway! Loaded up the boot with stuff for charity shop. Dropped that off. 

Bought my parking ticket then met someone and chatted for 15 minutes so on,y had 45 minutes left to very quickly run round town. But it was nice to see them and to catch up. 

Quick nip into M&S, then HB for paracetamol for the poorly people . Charity shop 1 , I found a Whaurs Wullie book…bit like Where’s Wally but with Oor Wullie ( Scottish legend😆) in it. Bought it ( well for me ) ostensibly for Gnephew. A pound well spent! Then next charity shop and a sugar pot in my wedding china range. So snapped that up for £2.00. Then next charity shop which I drove to and I hummed and hawed about going to as down other side of town.

I dropped off paracetamol and LFT tests at the front door to DD2…phoned and said they’re here! Then as I was kind of down the other other side of town anyway went to the charity shop and I’m ever so glad I did. As they had a lampshade. I needed a new one and thought rather than pay new I’d keep an eye out. This was up on a high shelf so I’d to ask to get it down and wondered how much it would be. £3.25. Well thank you very much, just what I was looking for! 

Home. Hello dog. Nice to see you but it’s been so nice being able to go out and about as we didn’t have a puppy! 

Potter. Potter. Washing out and dried. Remembering to remake bed before bedtime! 

Had a very good phone call about my new direction in life! Booked myself onto training course. It’s happening. Will share more when it’s happened. 

Got a bit done in the garden. Brought the garden bin round and started to fill it by cutting back and deadheading. Still stuff growing but just trying to tidy up.

Watched Boiling Point on iPlayer. Enjoyed. Could relate to the stress of the job! But disappointed it was just 4 episodes. Just kind of stopped. So maybe a second series??

For yesterday,

Grey & overcast but oh so mild, into horsey town for a food shop and saw several strings of bouncy racehorses heading up to the gallops.

No real enthusiasm for housework so pottered around a bit and then read my book about Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Afternoon visit to the yard as I wanted to be there for girlie’s first night coming in, had intended to do a bit of work but the rain & thunder came over so stayed cosy with her in stable. She seem happy and settled with a big hay net.

Tea was rtc fish with cauliflower cheese followed by LO crumble.

Bit of quizzing with Uni Challenge then found the first ever episode of Dectectorists on Gold so watched that, still funny.

Pleasures for today (Tuesday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) A second coat of paint in the spare room. 

3) Went to the Job Centre with my friend and looked at the housing list. 9 days to find something...

4) Then I went to the Job Centre for me! Walked there and back from my house (just short of 2 miles each way).

5) Went to Costa for a cup of tea and a rest before walking home.

6) Cleaned... ripped up the brown paper protecting the floor of the spare room. Cleaned the window, woodwork, stair bulkhead thingy. The landing floor. Hoovered the stairs, the hall, steamed. 

7) Steak for tea with tomatoes, mushrooms, chips, onion rings and blue cheese. Got a YS camembert for later if we are hungry.

8) Listening to the football on the radio now. 

Pleased with the spare room so photo to follow...

Hello. 

Up early.
Went to garden centre, enjoyed a scone.
Ooft at the torrential rain on drive home.
Hello doggy.
Hoovered, washed floors. Put a few things up for sale on marketplace.
Made lasagne and roasted veg and steamed veg. 

And made apple crumble cupcakes which were delicious! She writes modestly. 

Lovely evening of chit chat. 

Dark so early tonight. 

Highdays

Hi everyone.

Been a damp and blustery day here with quite a bit of rain and some rolling clouds. Very autumnal but not the best of.

Pleasures few and far between but here goes:

1) We are both poorly sick again, seems we never properly recover before we are laid low again. Not much pleasure but I have my emergncy meds so am back on them and hubby managed to get a Dr's appointment this morning, now has to do a flow test which is good because they've fobbed him off with nose sprays just too many times. In the meantime we are back in the slow lane and cancelled one of this week's days out, just hope we are a bit better for next week's trip.

2) Did get to the local shopping centre this afternoon to pick up an order and to do a bit of fresh fruit and veg shopping, made a change to get out of the house for a couple of hours.

3) Treated ourselves to a cream cake to have with a cuppa when we got home - naughty but nice!

4) Noticed how the trees are changing colour when we were out, seems to have happened very suddenly but that might be because we haven't been out to notice. Beautiful colours, the year is starting to hunker down towards winter now.

5) Pretty much sorted my Christmas get-together menu. Will have a trial run of the main courses later this week and will see how they freeze and reheat. Just one more pudding to think about - white chocolate cheesecake with berry compote and my best-ever sticky toffee pudding with extra toffee sauce are on the menu so far but need a third,,,,will think that one over in the next day or so. Getting pretty excited already!

Right, off to bed now, I tend to sleep well on these meds but have some pretty vivid dreams so will see what happens!

Good morning. Dark now at my usual get up time.

DfV - by my reckoning the diet should be over by Christmas.  Do hope so. Nobody wants to be eating kale in the festive season

P Kitten - ouch to poor Kit's head!  But very pleased he's getting better.

Highdays - oh dear.  Not a good year for you.  Get well quickly before the next family fun break.

Suffolk Sue - missing you!  Did you get a date for your op yet?  Don't suppose the strikes are helping with that.

Like Ampersand, DH is doing as he's told for once.  And, fingers crossed, it seems to be working.  No after effects from the treatment, apart from feeling tired. Such a relief.

Trying to buy new jeans! Ugh! So many styles/ lengths/fits. Last pair I bought have so much stretch, they're two sizes bigger after 10 minutes wear.  Very comfy though😂  Bought a size smaller this week and they're too short ( says long on the label) so they're going back.  Try again!

Still reading World of Curiosities.  I'm normally a very quick reader but with Louise Penny I have to keep stopping to absorb things. And occasionally Google and learn a lot.

Our weather is all over the place.  Whatever I wear is too hot/too cold an hour later.  Layers!

Happy grey day everyone
