5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Frith

Congratulations on the new hip, SuffolkSue.

Pleasures for today (Monday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Started glossing 10am and did all round the hall, the kitchen skirting (second coat) and my room! That was 2 hours+.

3) Delivered election letters locally.

4) Walked into town and had a cup of tea in M and S. Spoke to a police officer in the park (the cut through to the canal path) as she was trying to catch a motorbike (!) that was driving around all the footpaths in a dangerous way. 

5) Took smaller son to Sainsburys so we could get milk and petrol.

6) Baked some salmon for tea and had that with peas, pasta and mayo. (A childhood favourite recipe of smaller son). 

7) Back to glossing! (It is satinwood so dries quickly). Did a second coat in my room and in the hallway. Found a child's paintbrush to do the fiddly edges.

Good for you, @Suffolksue - that is what I understand to be the most important thing to do - keep moving and exercising. At least that is what they told me when I had my knees redone.

For yesterday 

Small dog had a hydrotherapy session, sitting in the vets waiting room and a covered trolley come in with a miniature schnauzer mama and her six pups, so cute and immediately surrounded by staff members all wanting a cuddle.

Cold and wet so indoor jobs only, few surveys done.

Long chat with my bf.

Equine girlie put out in a waterproof rug, only upside on current weather is at least there’s no flies bothering her.

The skies did clear a bit in the evening and we had a decent sunset at bedtime.

Pleasures for today (Tuesday)

1) Not the best sleep but managed to get up early without too much of a problem.

2) Another half day of invigilating. Worked with a different colleague from normal today.

3) Popped to Waitrose for a cup of tea. 

4) Dropped off the final 2 election letters on my way home. 

5) Went to the tip. 

6) MrM came round for 2 games of chess. Then I went to his house for a cup of tea.

7) Sanded all the door frames upstairs and the rough bits of the wooden thing that stops you falling off the landing down the stairs. What is that bit called? Then sanded the moulding that runs down the edge of the steps. 

8) Removed the fifth BT junction box that I have found in this house - unscrewed from IN THE LARDER. Then ripped all the long length of defunct cabling out, managing to give myself the wire version of a paper cut in the process... Removed the lampshade in the hallway and some defunct trunking that ran upwards from the kitchen door. That will take some filling tomorrow. 

9) Made a roast dinner. 

10) Looking forward to the Great British Sewing Bee just now. Hoping smaller son will make me a cup of tea, now he has finished his roast dinner!

Hello. 

Up very early but just in time to see the most beautiful sunrise.

Did a bit of tidying. Hoovered downstairs and upstairs. Cleaned half a bathroom ( ran out of cleaning stuff) . Ironed. Did some work admin. 

Quick chat to mum’s NDN as she was passing mine.

Down to beach. Had a lovely walk. Wore my hat today…like it’s blooming June and I needed a wooly hat! 

Met niece. Had a sausage sandwich. 

And home ( via a stalk at my my new house) 

Then out to work. Met the loveliest family. 

And home! And was just in when friend popped round. 

Cut grass. ( before the big rain comes back) 

And then went to Tuesday Tea at friends house. Her daughter made a lovely pasta and I’d taken brownies for pud. 

A good day!

1 Hair pack, face pack, foot pack, nail polish, I feel like I’ve tried.

2 A bit of garden maintenance and a bag of garden detritus later.

3 Freezer pizza to oven was lunch, chop and veg with sauce is tea.

4 The woodpeckers have been back for food thankful for this but sad that nature is what it is – brutal.

5 A soak in the bath and fresh bedding for us.

Highdays

Hello again.

Still not totally right, very up and down but slowly getting there I hope.

Some pleasures:

1) Great news from SuffolkSue - and lovely to have you back again and sounding much more positive. 

2) Had a rare at the moment trip out with my bairn, only to the shop to sort stuff for little fella's school residential (one night as he's only diddy) but it was lovely to get out into the real world, even if only briefly.

3) Been making use of my summerhouse for sitting and pottering and snoozing, a welcome change from being indoors.

4) Still not much of an appetite so lost a bit more weight, not an ideal diet really but I'll take it.

5) Lovely calls and messages from siblings and friends who thankfully understand when I can't cncentrate for long so short and sweet but much appreciated all the same.

Only been reading intermittently so hope everyone is ok.

For yesterday,

Another bbrrr day with jeans, tee and a hoodie on, am looking wistfully at my summer clothes and dreaming of meals out in the garden!

Morning with the beautiful grey one, she’s always a tad sleepy first thing after a night out so everything was slowly done.

Three baby sparrows lined up on the top of the swing seat waiting for food, just hope our local hawk doesn’t clock them.

Another appointment for small dog, this time it was my pal’s mobile grooming van. She had her summer cut so will need a coat when she goes for her walk, for the next few days at least.

Leek and cheddar orzotto for tea and warm PJ’s for the evening, refuse to put the heating on in June.
