5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Highdays

Morning all.

The weekend again, these weeks are whizzing by.

Recent pleasures:

1) Fab day in the city and favourite bookshop for a browse and tea and cake in their cafe. Books were perused and purchased. Yummy fish and chips for tea.

2) A day at home yesterday after much gadding this week, pootled and pottered, changed beds and generally sorted. Tried on some new tops, not such a pleasure - either they are a funny shape or I am, so they are packed up to be returned.

3) Sat reading/dozing in my summerhouse in the afternoon and DIL popped her head through the door with a beautiful bunch of peonies which she knows are my favourite. No reason, just because...awww!

4) Then she popped back a bit later to say did I want a Pina Colada. Oh, go on then, why not. So we finished up sitting with her and son in the garden with cocktails til very late. Nice to be outside, the air was heavy but very warm.

5) So a slowish start this morning, packing for a couple of days away with brother and his wife, looks like we will be lucky with the weather. Looking forward to  a catchup and  couple of HH properties to wander round.

Have a good weekend.

Up early this morning. We were out walking by 4.40am…just us and the birds! Dry! 

And not done too much today, just kind of pottered around. 

Went to supermarket and got absolutely soaked going back out to the car! 

Cleaned bathrooms, wiped down all the worktops/ windowsills. 

A teeny tiny bit of work. 

Sold something on Vinted so was going to walk up to post it…pfft! It has not stopped lashing with rain so drove up and went into see mums NDN on the way home. 

And sat and had a lovely blether with her and just home and it’s well past the dogs teatime! Poor starving boy! But he was very happy to see me!

For yesterday,

After a hot, sticky night the pleasure of opening all the windows to the cool early morning breeze.

Yes to the cricket and South Africa winning, it really is the year where the underdog prevails.

Moving some pictures around to mix things up, we hung a much loved rose print from DM’s house in our bedroom and it perfectly matches the room, bit of an aaahh moment.

The latest videos of our rescue dog, we are still waiting on transport to be confirmed but keeping everything crossed that it will be in July, nothing will ever replace small dog but we have a lot of love to offer a canine pal.

Easy tea of Farmshop snorkers with salad and a slice of freshly baked bread

Well hello PP nice to ‘see’ you!


Quiet day in Quietsville.
Out doggy walking at 4.40am…just because I was awake! Just us and the birds.
Lashed with rain till about 3.30pm but I’d already done a washing so I hung it out! Even if it gets half dry.
Pottered around. Watched some stuff. 

Lovely chat with DD1.
And DD2 and The Chap popped in.
Had lasagna and salad for tea.

Frith, they would be fly rugs, my girlie has one. The science apparently shows that flying bitey things are confused by the pattern.

For yesterday,

Early up and watering the pots & containers in my PJ’s, good job we don’t have any near neighbours!

Out after breakfast and we headed over to Ickworth House for a look around. I am always more interested in the servant quarters than anything else and they had some good volunteers ( actors?)  playing the parts of various members of staff. We met the housekeeper and butler then had a good long chat with the cook in the kitchen. My grandma was in service doing just that before her marriage to Grandad so I found it fascinating.

Stopped for a cold drink and shared a cheese scone. Met a very cute spaniel puppy.

Home and another afternoon snooze.

Evening walk and watched the aerial acrobatics of the Swifts.
