5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Frith

Thinking of you, MHags.


Pleasures for today (still only Tuesday!)


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) House tidying including putting the fireguard away for another spring/summer. For 17 years I have glared at it as it is rusty and grubby and cobbled together from 2 ancient mothercare mesh fireguards to make a cube with a door to fit over/round the woodburning stove. Every year I look online for purpose built ones that aren't held together with cable ties!


3) Hens well.


4) Went to local NT place for my lunch.


5) Smaller son texted many times in a panic because his taxi sharing friend had been sick at school (oh, the horror!) and he couldn't possibly share a taxi with him because WHAT IF HE WAS SICK AGAIN?! Could I collect him - no, I was miles away. I then received an email from his TA that he had been "melodramatic" which amused me.


6) Met my school friend for a cup of tea.


7) Parked outside the house and smaller son jumped in the car and I took him directly to McDs to meet his friends then they walked on to the football match. I sat in the car for 3.5 hours, with breaks to look round Sainsburys then have a cup of tea in Costa. It always makes your heart sink when Costa shuts at 8pm and you've then got 1.5 hours left to sit in the car... I had read my magazine thoroughly when a tall, dark hooded figure shot past on a skateboard, doubled back, then did a little dance and a wave and it was bigger son!


On we went to park outside the football ground just to see the football soar over the stands and do a massive bounce off the pavement by our car!


8) Have just got home and have 2 hwbs in bed and will watch Holby City just now.

1. Long conversation with DS1. He has a job interview today. After passing the interviews last week he can now apply for assistant managers positions. Hopefully he will be successful but it will be good experience.

2. Did some exercise. I downloaded some routines so with those and my physio exercises I may lose weight and become fitter.

3. Daffodils still looking good and lit my new scented candle.

4/ DH saw MIL by himself. It is always a huge pleasure when I don't have to see her.

5. A lovely sunrise.

Tuesday pleasures,

A dryer day and when the sun broke through there was real warmth in it.

A good schooling session with my horse, she was very laid back and relaxed with no spooks, good stuff.

When I put her back in the field just sat on the grass for a while and watched her graze, now and again she would come up to me and smell my hair

Finally a t’internet engineer who got up the telegraph poles to check the physical integrity of the line, after 8 weeks our communication problems might finally be sorted!

Watched Shetland which I am really enjoying.

Morning Peeps,

RL very busy, so here is a conglomeration of recent Pleasures.

1. Mothers Day afternoon tea at our house with some of my favourite mothers and children. (DD sent a Moonpig card.).......Prosecco, posh sandwiches, the guests brought HM cake and we got to use the best china.

2. I too did not have to visit MiL. :rotfl:

3. Visit to Cadbury World with Y11 class. They were well behaved and enjoyed themselves. At the end of the visit, my little ‘looked after’ student thanked me for taking her, as she had never been to Cadbury World before. .......that’s what my job should be about. Brought a lump to my throat.

4. Good nights sleep, cos got the visit to Cadbury World done without incident. Phew! Staff thanked me for such a relaxed visit.....:rotfl:

5. Fakeaway KFC for tea.

6. Kite Runner at REP. Excellent!

There are probably more, but have to stop, as Minibus training course about to start. :eek:

Have a lovely day

1. Enjoying old Carleton Hobbs/Sherlock Holmes, when it works-

2. Eternal smiles on this Day of pi[can't make symbol appear, annoyingly]
Stephen Hawking, fiercely articulate scientist, lover of life/good wine/pretty women, gifted thinker/campaigner for Cambridge MP, DZ - and LP and the NHS.

3. Reading, listening, when poss.

4. Managed call to France yday - M's bday, 73. Blocked in and cut off for over a fortnight. Phone re-connected only at lunchtime. The lower outside mill wall crumbled in the night. 'Big noise' said M. & response, 'Won't cost 2/6d to put up again either' made M laugh. Present has apparently arrived at Nice, who had just called to say 'It's the wrong colour!' What???
Plenty of anti-grenouille fioul for bop there:-)

5. Enjoyed the 'didn't have to visit mil' posts, vl. You too, vjm, with any luck....

France did a nice thing though)))))

Leaving the H bed made this post poss.

There are other sauces for news about BoP, but only one unofficial channel. So to subscribe to the official version, please click here now! The other version contains graphic images of decent food and other soft things that make you all giggly! Now imagine of you only had one sauciness of news about BoP and how clouded that could be, yet you did not know about the other source?

5 Got to say the flix of net is being watched a lot this weak! Another Adam Sandler last eve, The Cobbler. OK you missed it because you read the reviews written by the sheople and no one does reviews any more. Well I suggest than rather sitting watching bull on the thing of ogle, you watch this instead! Got it, and the pop corn is good for you as well! More BoP film reviews in future updates.

4 On about corn, at the Palais de BoP we currently have two BrekFests on the go, Flakes of Golden Corn, and biscuits of weet! All served with fresh cold milk and juice. This is how BoP stays sharp and focused during the day. Proper foods, and not the sugared beri beri snacks full of glucose and carp. Avoid!

3 Got paint for downstairs loo thingy. Will be well brushed on Saturday, and as we has some cake inn as well, it will be too good, updates will follow later this weak. Normal snorker fest will also occur.

2 Nite BoP will be exercising his will to curry the favours of the stokers at the mill as we herd off down to the wobbleade emporium for a session. Further updates are unlikely!

Now with this news on pi day, you can relax nowings that your version of the life of BoP continues as normal!

1) DD2s rocking horse that has lived in our loft for the past 20 years has a new home in the local infants school. We put him on the drive yesterday and the deputy head spotted him as she drove past and stopped to take his photo and the Head said yes please! fantastic result!

2) Bought a new wok yesterday whey I was in town and made us veg stir fry today as He Who Knows said 'Oh no not soup again!', very yummy it was too.

3) Bumped into a doggy walking friend when I was out with Cookie and very pleased to find she now has a job in the school office. She's been dinner ladying for several years and this will be less hours for her but more interesting.

4) The daffodils behind the hedge are all out in bloom, sheltered little spot so they won't get flattened by the wind either, so pretty.

5) Heard woodpeckers with their yaffley laughing cry when I walked along the lanes today, always makes me smile!

Sitting with a dog boy by my side. Been a bit of an emotionally assaulting kind of day with memories of this time last year .

But dog walks. Dry weather ( though blooming cold). Fajitas for tea. Clothes that didn't fit now fitting. Type written letter from DD1. Wrote a letter back lPosting some forms off. The sticking of sticky hooks in my room so I can wind the cord from my blinds up properly. Chat with neighbour/ friend.

Tomorrow is another day.
