5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Purple_kitten

1 Sent of payment for a steam rally, hoping it’s not full already, one place that still demands the remembering where the cheque book is.

2 Just milk and bread this week, using up from the freezer, and just meal planned to reflect it. Tonight was breaded fish with broccoli and cawli.

3 Washing loads both hung out and bought in dried.

4 Watching a film

5 Grateful for mini air con unit.

Just in from watering the garden. With an oooft it’s warm ( or I’m warm) 

Up early with doggy then dozed off again. 

Pup dropped off.
Washing out…only as I was cleaning bathroom and ended up getting towels and bath mat soaked so gathered enough to wash. 

Did a bit of weeding/snipping.
Finished service script, printed and in my folder. 
Snoozette on sofa …with a little spider crawling on me. Every time I felt it I thought it was a wee fly! Yikes! 

Had a RTC curry and rice meal for tea. Nice and not too spicy
Quick doggy walk when DD2 came to pick up pup. 

Went to see mums NDN , had such a lovely evening! And a nice walk home.

1. 4 more Gallops miles walked, both sides, as sun went down.



2. Deliciously cool in Bank, trying to see where yesterday's promised refunds are.   Still in orbit, despite promises......😠

3. First Spookymen's Chorale tkt booked for Wirksworth, day after the UK election.  Hopefully, &'s now traditional request for 'Vote the Barstewards Out' will be sung with extra-glorious vigour.🌹🌹🌹  Reminder for all ospers, tour gigs here:

4. Gas boiler check done till next year.  Waited in all yesterday for '8-12 noon' to no avail.  

5. Back in the Bay, Aotearoa, after more big floods, we retained the Ranfurly Shield

For yesterday,

Another hot & sticky night with a 3am clear up from a oopsie small dog accident, grateful for early morning cuppa kindly provided by Capt S.

Hydrotherapy for my small co-pilot, she sits up front with me as airbag can be turned off and her Mum likes the kisses planted on gear changing hand.


Lunch with salad provided by the garden.

No big girl today but I did have an afternoon doze which was most welcome.

Still enjoying Canal Boat Diaries, a slowed down world has much to appeal. Then the joy of Georgia beating Portugal in the footie.

@LaineyT yes, we didn't watch Turkey in the end but watched Georgia v Portugal. It was excellent! I had no idea Georgia was so small in terms of population. Smaller son messaged his Portuguese friend throughout...

I think the best of the Euro matches I've watched so far.

We thoroughly enjoyed it and loved the spirit in which they attacked the game, agree on best match so far!

Hello from the land of much rain and wind and cool! It’s like October

Early schmearly with the most ridiculously awful dream! Did dog stuff then dozed off and had another ridiculously awful dream so just thought it was wiser to be awake! 

Went into town for a bit of work admin, then popped to M&S then home.

And that’s really all I’ve done all day. Chatted to sister briefly. Watched the trees bend and sway and watch Greys Anatomy episodes!

Pleasures for today (Thursday)

1) Good to get up after a pathetic sleep ending in a terrible nightmare where MrU was in the sea and I wanted to swim out to him but couldn't find my swimming costume. I woke up and said, "Why didn't I swim out in pants and a t shirt?!" Very stressful.

2) Went to Waitrose for the free paper and completed the crossword for their voucher competition.

3) Went to the charity shops in StJ's and found a Mantaray dress. I spoke to the lady at the counter for ages as she had really enjoyed the Georgia match too! She is no fan of Ronaldo. 

4) Went to the other charity shop and bought one of those stylised prints, this one of Stratford on Avon. It is where I took sons for their first holiday. 

5) On to the nursery for more compost and some slug pellets. 

6) Finally was able to remove my cut in half bottle greenhouses from over my courgette plants and sprinkle slug pellets on instead. 

7) Had some seeds for my birthday so planted sunflowers outside and in pots plus violas. Sprinkled wildflower seeds at the bottom of the garden.

8) Went to Sainsburys with smaller son.

9) Watching the Great British Sewing Be.

hello hello hello. i have had a poorly laptop and a poorly dog and am way behind with emails and mse posts. i have now caught up on the last 16 (!) days. i had a wonderful time in Worcester but couldn't get online. Went to 4 services with choirs, had super walks along the river, fabulous conference, T20 from my bedroom window and of course watched England in an English pub. Then back for graduation. Was invited to the graduation dinner which was in the Verdant works - very special. Then graduation  #1 - i did the laureation for one of the honorary graduates (he's a former phd student and fabulous), graduation lunch (a very select few!) then graduation #2 where I received the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching (still waiting for my muttley medal though!) then graduation garden party. Next morning i slept till 11! 
One of the spaniels has a very bad case of gastro enteritis. He has been on (and still is) various meds, had various tests and 4 days on a drip - as I type this I'm listening to the archers and Susan has just said 'your mum's worried about the vet's bills - yes there's that too, we don't have pet insurance. working at home tomorrow as online interviewing all day and will allow me to feed him bland food little and often. He and i will hopefully get back on a more even keel over the weekend. and now i realist tomorrow is today.

I hope you waved to me, @DundeeDoll !
