5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

LaineyT

Oh yes Mhags, we are brushing every day to get her used to being groomed. Her coat is coarser and less dense than my choccie labrador but easier to spot on our wooden floors!

For yesterday,

Made a loaf and scaled Mount Ironmore.

Long chat with my bf after photos shared of new family member.

Started the tiresome job of hunting for dog insurance after procrastinating for a few days.

She had to be left completely alone for 30 mins as we overlapped with a haircut for Capt S and me going to the yard, all was well when we got back. The beautiful grey one was happily grazing when I got there so got a few jobs done before fetching her in.

Got round to watching last week’s Only Connect and beat both teams on connecting the wall 👍

Hi.

Haven't caught up with everything here as yet so hope all ok.

Pleasures 1-5 are that the first stage of my dental work is done - hooray! Still very waffy and sore but on the mend. After all my worrying the conscious sedation was fine so if anyone has to have this in the future please don't waste any time fretting about it like I did, it was brilliant! Unfortunately I couldn't have as much work done on Monday as we had hoped as the area is still very infected so back on the old antibiotics again but at least a start has been made. I'm just beginning to get a bit bored with the enforced resting so am taking that as a good sign and am managing to do a bit more each day. We are taking the little fella on his birthday trip Sunday to Monday so hoping to be well and truly back on my feet by then.

Will catch up hopefully tomorrow with everyone's recent pleasures, hope you are all managing to have some!

Hello. Just having some ‘ supper’ I was out for lunch so didn’t need tea but feel I should eat something so I’m having the breakfast I never had this morning as I was going for ouchy massage (so didn’t want to be lying on a full tummy…and then I was going out for lunch 😆)

So up early.
Did some work admin.
Ouch ( but good chatting)
Lunch…more good chatting.
Home…hello birthday doggy boy…he celebrated by having a big birthday snooze…so I had one too! 

Chat to sister. 

Chat to friend.

Pleasures for today (Wednesday)

1) Not a bad sleep. 

2) Went to the local nursery where they had 50% off aquatic plants. Bought an iris and some pond weed. 

3) Filled the new pond and put the weed in. Rather pleased with it although it'll take a lot of work to bank up around the sides. 

4) Wandered round the charity shops and had a cup of tea in the Turkish cafe. 

5) My car had its annual clean. 

6) Made lemon curd for my friend's 50th birthday. 

7) Cleared undergrowth from around my £5 Lidl fruit trees, planted last year. 

8) Had a fire and cooked our tea then had marshmallows.

1. Trying to date these: very early electroplated, fluted, ornately chased sugar bowl and cream jug. From Town of Gown library research, suspect they're mid-1800s Joseph Rodgers, Sheffield -  R in shield; F in circle; M in diamond square.

2. The final Sounds Green music night in CUBG for this year - joyous.  The weather cleared up and stayed clear - a beautiful evening.

3. So good to be independently mobile again.

4. Naga Munchetty's Room 101 was a cracker😁, right up with isihac:

5. Rtc satsumas galore😋, 45p per bag.  Marmalade will surely follow.👍

Lainey there’s something about buying new animal toys for a new addition I enjoy. Just deleted my when do they arrive text, with delighted to meet them. Aww.

I ironed a shirt for the first time in a very long time; it’s dh’s smart shirt.

I’m looking at budget and we are rolling back a lot for August, freezer food is helping. August will be spent de cluttering and tidying, a bit of a sad eye opener is we need to reign in long fuel visits, and I realise that MIL won’t visit us. Just as I have written this, our washing machine is now in pieces across the kitchen floor, this time it looks final, what is it they say make plans and God laughs.

Photo memories pop up going through the however many years we usually love daily, but one particular photo made me shed a few tears, we’ve had some long term poor lies through and I miss them.

Managed to touch up the paint on the stairs and remembered to sorn my car and prepped a healthy seafood salad for lunch.

Packed some bits into the van.

A very easy CBA tea of C0stco pizza from freezer to oven

It’s far more for me then her PK as so far she’s shown very little interest in anything, don’t think she had toys as a pup ☹️ I’m thinking perhaps a football to nose around the garden might be good, my old labrador was particularly fond of a space hopper!

For yesterday,

Coming downstairs first thing and there is a wagging tail to greet me, very much missed.

Busy morning with catching up on chores.

Postman came with a letter confirming that my NI records have been amended to reflect my true employment record and I will be due full state pension, relief.

Capt S out on business and the big girl needs her Mum too so new doggo left for a couple of hours, all was well when I got home.

The last two episodes of Bookish, have really enjoyed and look forward to more next year.
