5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

LaineyT

For yesterday,

As Amps has said heavy rain for much of the day, I had to go into horsey town to visit post office and parked in nearby street but still got very wet on five minute walk. It’s very much needed but why do we have to get a months worth all at once?

C dog kept asking to go out then standing on back doorstep as if to say nah, eventually dashed, did business and dashed back in! 

Very much a day for house jobs, did a bit of admin and sorted out a cupboard.

The horses had been kept in but when I went over mid afternoon there was a break in the clouds so got the beautiful grey one out for a leg stretch and graze in hand.

Leftover cauliflower cheese and snorkers made for an easy Friday night tea.

Frith

Writing from work, so I don't walk out and drive home... No managers, no stock, broken oven (for 3 weeks), broken heated unit. And painful feet and eternal sinusitis for me. 

So, pleasures for yesterday!

1) Not a bad sleep.  

2) Coffee morning was an celebration of the park getting a Green Flag, so i didn't go. I spent that time cleaning up the garage where the cat had been ill. So a pleasure to get that done!

3) Part baked rolls for lunch. 

4) Another shift at work completed without walking out. 

5) My brother popped round to play darts. 

6) Bought a £10 bookcase from a lady on FB marketplace. It was made by the residents of Bedford Prison for her grandad, who was the governor. I think it will last forever. 

7) Watched Gardeners World and made flapjacks. 

8) My brother popped in again on his way home from work! 

Highdays

Morning all.

No rain here yesterday and glorious again today, wondering if our grass will ever recover.

Happycas - I'm a Northern lass too but had never encountered a 'proper' fishcake before, they were yummy. Scraps too!

Some pleasures:

1) In a bit of a baking mood so making cakes and brownies to stash in the freezer ready for our holiday in three weeks.

2) Not particularly a pleasure but set me off reminiscing to open a box of white eggs. So used to brown these days but I'm sure eggs were white when we were young and a brown one was a bit of a rarity. Or am I remembering wrong?

3) Made the most of a good drying day to get all our throws washed and pretty much everything else that wasn't tied down. Don't iron much these days but seem to have accumulated a pile of stuff that will need a quick whizz over, try as I might I really can't sleep in unironed sheets. The pleasure is that hubby quite likes a spot of ironing so he does the work and I get the benefit.

4) Good forecast tomorrow so we will pack a picnic and head out somewhere to try out my new walking shoes. Do so much walking these days that I've worn out my old faithfuls. I like new things but I like them better when they stop being new and are just the norm.

5) Coming up to my favourite month of the year. It's been a lovely long summer, seemed to go on for months and months this year but I do love September best of all. Summer can sometimes feel a bit frenetic (love that word!) whereas September is somehow more gentle in a controlled sort of way. Blimey, did that even make sense?!  

Running late this morning so just getting round to coffee and the weekly treat of a 'real' newspaper. Have a good day whatever you are up to.
