5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Looking good Frith.
Rest up and hope you both feel better soon Highdays.

For yesterday,

Woke up early hours, heard the rain lashing against the window and was pleased to think that my horse was warm & dry, snuggled up in her stable.

A much dryer morning, went over to the yard with the intention of riding but girlie was clearly in season so a little gentle groundwork instead then took her back out to the field where we shared an apple. Then I just stood and let my mind wander while she grazed around me, my place of peace.

Lovely chat with my friend.

Quietly busy afternoon, few surveys and made a loaf.

Bittersweet pleasure, small dog was so fast asleep when we went to go up to bed that for a few seconds I couldn’t rouse her, could see her chest moving but no reaction, my own heart seemed to stop in my chest! She slowly woke up but was so disoriented that she couldn’t make it up the stairs by herself so her Dad carried her up. This morning she is running around like a two year old 🥰

Lovely flowers &. Hope you’re feeling better and more than “managing” soon.  

Last full day of our lovely holiday in Lesvos. Weather was very hot the first week, cooler and windy this week but still lovely sunshine 🌞. Long day tomorrow as our flight isn’t until 7.30 pm. Not sure what time we have to vacate our room, but no more flights coming in now.  Time for one more dinner and one more lunch 🇬🇷. Then back on diet 🤣😊

Happycas - but Kale is green - doesn't that make it a Christmas decoration at least?

Hello. Lashing with rain and has been since about midday. 

Up very early. Then dozed off them didn’t wake till 7.45am which is very late for me .
Went to beach. Was ever so blustery and wild and my face was getting nipped with rain! But we had the whole beach to ourselves and tide was so far out! 

Stopped at a garden centre on way home. They had such a lovely autumnal display but I was very restrained and didn’t buy! 

Then did a mercy dash for the poorly people. Supermarket and pharmacy. Dropped off. 

And home and met a neighbour/friend as I just pulled in drive so had a nice chat with them. 

Then the rain came on in earnest! 

Heating on about 2pm as it was just yukky and cold . Had a snoozette! With a very weird dream! 

Had a roll and cheese for my tea which was very nice ! Didn’t need a big tea. 

And dark at 7.20pm …blah!

Pleasures for today (Wednesday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Finished some rough edges in the spare room. Just a drip of blue paint left now.

3) Went to a nearby cafe (in what we used to call a Portakabin, in our local park) which is staffed by children from the nearby special school. Had a cup of tea and a sausage sandwich. 

4) Washed the paint trays. Tidied a bit. Second load of washing on.

5) All exciting at 2pm when I went into town for my friend's birthday. We met another friend there. Bumped into two more friends! We had a pot of tea in M and S. 

6) Had a magnificent haul at the charity shops afterwards. 2 Seasalt long sleeved t shirts for sons. Next velvety trousers for me plus a Manta Ray cotton top. THEN... brand new dark blue curtains, just the right width for smaller son's room !

7) Got home and the Ebay curtains had arrived and they will be perfect for the living room window. (All the windows are colossal). 

8) Mowed the lawns.

9) Smaller son helped me with the curtains. We took the 1980s curtains down in his room. I showed him how you pull the threads and the curtain pleats. Sadly, I didn't know the other end so pulled the threads all the way through and nearly out of the curtain... Anyway, I have just hung one curtain for now and it looks better and will block the light.

1 After a bad night feeling a bit better than I was.

2 Washing hung out on the line, feeling smug.

3 Leftovers was lunch, lo curry in tomato soup tastes amazing. Tea will be chicken breast, veg and something,

4 Kit is doing amazingly, and rather likes his drugs, I suspect he relates it to pain relief after.

5 Arranging my car insurance, life lessons learned not going for the cheapest, and I sadly missed the renewal sweet spot annoyingly, so made a note for next year.

For today

1 A lovely visit to the in-laws

2 I didn’t take the car insurance deal and found a better deal today.

3 The best welcome home from the animals.

4 At home in the warm, an overlooked pleasure sometimes.

5 Travelling around was nice and easy, just one diversion this time.

For yesterday,

Up and at’em, upstairs and all bathrooms done. Then a nicer visit to the garden centre for spring bulbs, snowdrops, daffs, tulips and alliums all purchased.

Eating our first homegrown tomato of the year, it’s taken a while!!

With my equine pal, she was subdued & quiet and I always worry that she might be in pain with her season so just a gentle walk in-hand in the late autumn sunshine then a soothing groom, she fell asleep as I did her tail ❤️

Tasty tea of pork chops, sweet potato mash and fried apple.

The fantastic scenes from St James Park as Newcastle enjoyed being back in the CL after 20 years, youngest DSS is a toon fan and a season ticket holder, bet he has a sore throat this morning.

Thanks to all and sorry for such a long absence.
Hard ti find pleasures at rhe moment ,
my beloved DD would have been 50 a month ago ( she is forever 37 ) and it completely floored me .The 0 birthdays are so much harder 
It knocked a lot of her friends too ,Eventually we worked out that 0 birthdays are so celebrated and she loved a celebration .
I know I must be grateful she lived at all but it is hard .

No news on my hip and of course every strike puts it further back,what started as estimated  49 week wait ( should be half that as marked urgent ) is now ,after 7 weeks estimated at 57 . Wondering if it will happen in my lifetime! 
Not sure what has happened to ‘First do no harm’

Right maybe if I hunt for pleasures it will lift me 

Dental check nil to do

Car passed its MOT 

my lovely Gardner has nearly finished putting the garden to bed for the winter 

Family all well 

I have enough 

I hope & is continuing to recover and all the other sick and worried get good news soon 

Highdays

Morning all.

Still below par but like to pop in and see what you've all been up to!

SSue - what a lot you have to cope with. Nothing to say to make any of it better except we all care and think about you. Sending love and a hug. 

Off to the dentist now, fingers crossed she can mend my chipped front tooth.

Have a good day.
