5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

LaineyT

For yesterday,

Awful night sleep wise so it was a pleasure to finally give in and get up. Early walk with C dog and we saw the sunrise, back for a cuppa and cuddles.

Breakfast then the rest of the morning was spent in the garden. Was ruthless and any flowers & tiny green tomatoes were culled from the plants as doubt if they will come to much now. We still have a lot to come so won’t go short. Cleared a lot of the main bed and ring fenced a bit of cash to add some early autumn colour. Oh and there was another skirmish in the never-ending battle with bindweed.

We caught up on things Ambridge over lunch and into the afternoon before catching the end of the womens 100 final.

Another C dog walk and she was being teased by the squirrels busy with the walnut trees, luckily she is still on an extendable lead while we work on her recall.

Bit more cricket watching, few games of Yahtzee before I gave in and had an early night.

Good afternoon.  Bit grey here

Managed to get to yoga today.  Really enjoyed it after a month off.  A lovely stretch and good to switch off mentally for a while. ( I don't know left from right so have to think hard to not be doing the opposite of everyone else!)

Got two long running jobs done yesterday  Back gate, second coat of paint and garden bench oiled.  In both cases getting out and putting away of equipment took longer than the actual task. But they're done now.

Visited DGD for first time since she came home from hospital.  She's very pale and easily tired, but is still bright and determined to start 6th form asap.

Also had lovely  photo today of DGS (11) on his first day at secondary school looking very smart in his blazer.  And proud.  Wonderful to see

Sun's out now so will do a bit garden tidying soon

Happy 🌞 day everyone
