5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Happycas

Good afternoon.  Sunny today but did have a brief but very heavy rain shower yesterday.

Dundee Doll - Happy Birthday x

Highdays - when I was growing up if you asked for a fishcake in a Leeds fish and chip shop, that was what you got.  I was amazed that in other parts of the country you got the mashed potato and very little fish version!

Paulie - beautiful photos.  Good luck house hunting

Trying to sort out travel insurance.  We're both old and DH has multiple medical things to declare so it's always a long job but I think we're nearly there

Redoing electoral roll.  That bit's easy but redoing the postal vote is more tricky.  Honestly,I could do with a secretary

But I'm still enjoying feeling calm instead of anxious so it's all good.

Happy 🌞 day everyone

Happy birthday DD, from mixed weather Town of Horse and & on last bus😖back.

Don't ask. More Doblo unexpecteds.

Anyway, 'here's some I prepared earlier.'

1.Frith knows this one.  &, having been incredibly stupid, was also incredibly lucky yesterday. S asked about r/h wheel, that came off when emergency one went on. & looked old-lady brain-fade blank, then suddenly realised metal middle essential for new tyre to go onto.😬🥴  Had left whole shebang at rescue point.  Back went &, c. 8 miles.  DG, tyre still there. Hauled aboard Doblo and back again

2 Tyre tracking being done as we speak.  Thanks again to S. and P.  Doblo relatively hunky-dory in time for many coming journeys.  Left today's pick of figs, as S said he likes them.

3 Early a.m. debadgering. & manages reasonably these days. Salon £80-ish vs &+MrT £4.50 is No Contest.  College salon appts system might restart late September and would now cost £45-£50 minimum, said disinterested person eventually, half turned away, mouth full of sandwich and laughing with distant colleague. Merci, mais non.

4.First potato bag emptied. Crop unimpressive, but okay for &, who can't remember when she last ate potatoes in any form.🤔

5.Finished wedding cushions embroidery.  Will  bundle with trad. bits tomorrow.  Not wrapping, but tying all together with wide white satin ribbon.

....and can now report from Town of Horse emporium that Doblo's shoeing+tracking is done.
& is fully, safely, legally mobile again.💓

Hello! And I’m ever so glad it’s bedtime!

Up early.

Work this morning meeting a new family, home for lunch and then back out to meet another new family! So I have lots to write but I ain’t doing it today! 

Popped into supermarket and got a RTC Cumberland pie and had that with peas and sprouts. 

Friend popped over.

And The Chap came over to help me with something for work. 

It has lashed with rain for most of the day even though I went out in a short sleeved top and sandals and no jacket! It was nice when I left! 

This evening was the first time I’ve felt cool but I just put a jumper on. And I’m now in bed and I’ll no doubt feel overheated soon enough !

lol. Excellent result. 
Many thanks all for your birthday wishes - it was indeed a lovely day. It was the third and last day of our CPD and my lovely colleagues had bought me a birthday cake. The Latvians sang me "daudz baltu dieniņu" - they are very good singers. then our host booked us a cafe for an early tea and there was more cake. Then we went on a boat trip up and down the river. and both my host and my colleagues bought me earrings - they know me so well. 
And for today
1) a trip round their simulation centre - very impressive
2) then a tour of their anatomy museum and lunch
3) got to the airport in good time and a very uneventful flight home which is how we like flights to be
4) when i got home there was steak round and veg waiting for me :P
5) and DD2 and birthday presents. totally spoiled!
