5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Frith

Pleasures for today (Thursday)

Shocking sinusitis continues but...

1) Not a bad sleep. 

2) Drove to Worcester and saw all the bloody silly St George's flags cable tied to every lamppost on the approach. By the time I drove home, they had all been removed! A few silly flags by us and the 2 mini roundabouts also roughly graffitied with a red cross. I will purposefully drive over them in future, to wear the paint off. 

3) Went to the Colombian cafe then to Waitrose for the free paper to do the crossword. 

4) Went to Halfords for a new air filter. Fitted that and it has really made a difference.  

5) Went to salt town to watch our women's football team and 3 pillocks were putting up flags on the main road there. As smaller son said, "oh, 3 bright orange men with very short, fat legs. Who would have guessed?"

Our team scored 2 goals in the last 5 minutes to equalise.

 Glad to climb into my bed!

Up early. 

Went into town and got parked for free. Nipped down to M&S for a few things. Then in to workplace to pick up a gift that had been kindly handed in for me. A card with lovely words and a beautiful orchid. Quick chatter and another service booked in. 

Quick supermarket visit, got a few things RTC for freezer. 

Home. Grabbed a doggy and off we went to CP. Lovely walk. The dog had so much sniffing to catch up on. 

Niece and her husband popped in to see me. Which was nice. And then DD2 was deposited with her dog by The Chap. To be cared for …he’s just picked her back up ! Tag team! She managed to have a big sleep which I’m glad she did. I sat on my balcony reading for a bit then came in and read /snoozed/read. Woke her up to have some tea…crusty bread and sausages. Doggy walk and then home. 

Had a work call to make arrangements to meet new family next week…which means I have a work free weekend! 

Chat to friend on phone. Caught up on each others news. 

Dark so early! A couple of stars peeking through cloud on our late night wander.
