5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Frith

House Elf - sacro iliac? I can "clunk" mine on the left (hyper mobile joints) though I couldn't always. It used to take 2 physiotherapists to maul it into the right place!

Frith

1 Don’t want too to speak too soon, but the role might carry on for the next week which pleases the bank account.
2 Just back from visiting dad and I got him onto his time in the air force and listened to a tail or two. The nurses are absolutely fascinated by maggot treatment, it’s quite fascinating in a “weird” way.
3 Only just got back and a pasta bake is cooking.
4 DH has listed various things on the bay today, and we are looking at scrapping the old car, sad but I can’t see any other way of selling it.
5 Nice to be home.

You poor soul! Did it start before or after children? Finding the Heat pack is helping. Hope it's not just a placebo and it all starts aching. Again.

Kittikins

1. Sunshine!!

2. Reverbe'd 5p

3. Had a lovely tipsy cocktail-drinking night with my chum.

4. Got up for a swim before coming home.

5. Watched Sing with DD and then introduced her to some of the original versions of the songs. She was somewhat unimpressed by the 80's videos.....lol

Morning.

It is a beautiful morning. The internet is allowing me to sit outside to post this. Listening to the hens singing and doggie at my feet. Makes me feel happy.

Yesterday.

1. Got DS2 uniform for 6th form. Nearly £100, :eek: but at least we are ready for September.

2. Lots of washing on the line. Some of it dried!

3. Waities with £4 wys £40. With PYO got it down to £25. Happy with that.

4. Beef pie for lunch made from LO stew and LO potato. Yum

5. Made roast chicken dinner and everyone ate it. No one is picky about roast dinner. :j

DS1 birthday today. I thought he was going to bed the same time as normal people last night, but it seems they were just getting ready to go out:eek: just rolled in at 6am. Hope he is up for birthday meal at 7pm

Have a lovely day.

Some recent pleasures,

Like & so much rain on Wednesday, not flooded but drove into Ely for meet up with pal and shook head at mindless driving by fellow road users, at what point is a good idea to overtake tractor on blind bend in heavy rain. He hit large puddle and we all held breath as tried to control car :eek: Lainey and her mini took their time and arrived safely.

Lovely catch up with pal, she is going through tough times but plenty of laughter made for a jolly couple of hours.

Hit emporium at exactly right time, lots of YS bargains meat and fish wise so freezer is nicely full again.

Another meet up, this time for eldest hollow-legged one's Birthday, good food, good company and aching cheeks from their brotherly Morcambe and Wise antics.

Sneaky extra for this morning, Rev Richard is doing Strictly :j

Friday pleasures!
Hurrah
Work
Catch up with friend. Cheap date. I drank water .
Groceries. A few RTC items ( looking forward to RTC when I'm home...I was the queen of bargains before we left!)
Dog walk
Cut grass
Continued to clear/ sort. Helped by son.
Mini snoozette.

Been let down by a FB buyer ...who sounded a bit lengthy in her messages! Can she come at weekend? Whatever love, just bring your cash.

Happy Friday

PM2Friths Looks like there’s a gin palace coming to Warster! That will make the proletariat happy and pied eyed!

5 Now I don’t want to have to tell yous lot, but, you’re going to get it anyway! Stick with proper foods! Those nice salads all days old with the egg not specially prepared for you! I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. But no! Steer clear of the muppet foods! Have some mince and tatties with a nice home made fluffy dumpling, and not that salted sugared carp in the muppet food aisle. Avoid!

Now on with the rest of the good things happening in your version of the life of BoP!

4 Had to rung millwrights customers IT support desk. This after yesterday mindings yous lot about social workers! Why does their telephone system always say ‘Your call is important to us!’ Of curse it is, it is me. Me not being able to efficiently work because of your continuous interfering. Anyway, as you can guess, problem was their end not mine! Sore Ted!

3 BoPsie took her kind and considerate BoP out last evening to have a steak. Tum was rubbed and wobbleade was taken. Toms and mushrooms filled the plate instead, see above, battered chips and over starched day bain-marie peas! It was not singles night, so I have no news on whether the tall blonde has been swept off her feet yet!

2 Nite the proper football starts. Inn Arsene we trust! I am offs from the mill soon to purchase some wobbleade and bits. BoPsie may get some as well
Suddenly, everyone will look at the packaging, thinking they did so anyway!

house elf - NCS absolutely worth sorting care for - enjoy your holiday absolutely certain your young 'un is having a ball. Mine did, vigorously & I think has grown in height [that or presence!] in consequence. Besides which, godparents need exercise too. The pals we picked have stood up heroically to the tests of teens. From food to music to introducing them to the delightful perils of alcohol? Godparents all the way, bless 'em!
Frith - hugely admire the parenting & love Millionaire-In-Training (may suggest this title to a youngling & see what happens). Admirable weight loss albeit drastic methodology.
Purple kitten - the maggots are a potent tool for good, but a bit odd to gaze upon. Digits entwined all will be well for a while.
mgahster - applauding your brisk conversion of nice flowers into additional money when we know how much of your love they've thrived on. Hear hear to just bring your cash! then come home & let us dance!
BoP - such wisdom. No foam & no nitrogen either - entirely right!
Ampersand - rain stopped Spits access? drat *cubed* but may the cognoscenti appreciate you & ply you with treasury notes all the more next week.

A brief dump of pleasures before I hurtle off onto Family Holiday. Ulp. Take tent & venture into Scotland - all entirely reasonable until you bear in mind I have form for being an ambling buffet for midges, clegs, horseflies, houseflies, no-see-'ums & other biting aerial critters.

Learning a new name for familiar china (Langley patrician), after I spotted & queried & hurrahed at the basestamp on an eggcup. (Tell you, I get happy over little things!)

Really good not-weekend with parents (still happy days later!).

Lovely call from mum of a godfather as she knows I can look up who offers the best ISA rates & she wanted prompt accurate information. So I looked on MSE, of course!

Discussing how to stop dogs being let off leash & misbehaving - seems shepherds' powers to shoot do have some limits but wildlife curator can't borrow sheep as his site has areas with broken glass. Ultimately an owner education issue, but the myth of shotgun law is potent.

Senior colleague got an it error message which I translated as "why not make a brew?" (while the machine reboots.)

Ah, colleague holiday reminiscences include the tart memory "they didn't offer us a brew"! I do love how transatlantic priorities can vary, or not.

Lovely colleague passed me a wad of McD vouchers clipped from the free papers, serenely certain I could find a use for them! As taking hungry teens out at short notice is often my job, I will certainly put some to good use, & coaxed another colleague into accepting a few from the wad!

Sloping off for an emporium brew with a colleague. Via other desks networking but with a coffee flavoured destination! Oooh, bonus Emma Bridgewater bags - will Bay them to fund Christmas frivolities.

Weight loss noticed & approved by godfather's Ma - she wants my "cabbage soup" recipe for her daughter & I worry a bit. My diet is 90% stubbornness, (alongside gruesome weighing & measuring & batch cooking) so one soup recipe is just asking for trouble.

There are days science fiction has clearly overtaken my sons - "I revoke your status as a human being". I'm sure it'll settle after breakfast.

Seen a Motability scooter modelled to look like a chopper motorbike from the front - gentleman tolerant of having to off-road somewhat (as our broken down car was blocking his path) & basking in awestruck admiration of teenager lads!

Amidst all this "looking old & tired" my youngest has piped up "mum, you look absolutely delightful" - it's a stomping fib but makes me laugh whereas the others' solicitude has my teeth clenching.

Hurrah for Which? which has persuaded a determined son towards a different ideal 6th form laptop without uproar.

Beloved godfather has sent us back with a mighty armful of beeswax comb. The double boiler is loaded!

Ooops. Always know where the car keys are! I had to wake all 4 menfolk at ye gods o'clock to have the last riffle my workbag & drop them into my hand. Many apologies due! [and made]

Got a wave from the tailor - while hand continued scribing arc on fabric - touched/awed that he could do both!

"We are past the Evil Monday!" - as reasons to be cheerful go, it'll do.

Muffled a giggle at the sight of fit & healthy damsel dressed for a half marathon cradling a 2 litre water bottle (3/4 empty). Someone who takes health & hydration Seriously.

Grinning at the summer hols mum & brood en route background k from the science museum - educational toys in every hand...

Giggling a bit as I realise "I need a roll of bubble wrap taller & thicker than I am" is not going to help purveyors of industrial packaging over the phone. "The largest I can fit into a Mondeo" however may mean more. [Gosh, it did. Rolled away with acceptable view & dent in budget for packaging but All, All there & proper 2" wide tape by the galore as on promotion.]

Crieff campsite booked, so this year, the holiday Will Happen. (Sometimes we get overtaken by events & exhausted.) Let the packing commence.... With bonus hurrah for Two sticks of midge repellent (for our young National Citizen & a "spare").

Suffering mental whiplash as John Humphreys talks s*x through the decades & Frank Gardener does the continuity. Hearing the voice of that workplace injured war correspondent assuring me of the time then Humphreys leading the next story? Massive cognitive dissonance! Especially when the tweeting oompah loompah has been threatening in language I associate with George RR Martin. Not that trump wouldn't send in n*kkid women on dragons if he thought it a ratings winner but HBO got the rights to fantasy....

Our cuddly canon to grace Strictly? Rev Coles to be clad in, in, imagination sputtering through amusement, bewilderment & gold lameeee...



Hugs & handshakes to all, wellies, brollies, parasols, sunscreen, hot water bottles & thermos flasks, gin & other refreshments to all as need! Oh yes & appreciate your beds. We who are about to camp salute you.
