5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Hello. 

Awake since very early…some might call it nighttime…was definitely still very dark! 

Anyway once I was up and at ‘em…sat at the table and started writing a service. Much to write about and I think these are my best kind! 

Stopped at 10.30am and took myself out for a wee while! And of course it poured and of course I didn’t have a coat on though did have a gilet  with a hood…be grateful for small mercies 😆

There was a food fayre down at castle…stood in the trees as it absolutely lashed. Met a friend’s husband so stood and chatted with him whilst we waited for the rain to slow down/stop! Sun came out…for a wee while. It has been heavy showers on and off all day. And so much cooler. Weather app said 12o feels like 6o! 

Anyway I wasn’t there to mooch ( going back tomorrow with family) but was there for a traybake! Got that and then walked back up the hill. Gave my husband’s tree plaque a wee polish with the cuff of my jumper. Saw a fair few squirrels! These are a lot less timid than the ones at CP. 

And home again within the hour. Back to work…with the promise of cake at the end! Had just sent it off when I saw someone turning into my drive….thought who’s that turning in my drive and realised they were parking in my drive! A long lost brother! He had sent a text through the week and then he turned up. Anyway he was here for a couple of hours. Had a cup of tea and declined a cake so I couldn’t eat mine!! Trying to persuade him to not be so head in the sand about wills and POA and letting me know final wishes. Hopefully not for a while but he doesn’t have a partner and it will be me who’s NOK. As a family ( like my wee family) we are all very open about what we want and particularly in the work I do I know how hard it is for a family when they don’t know what’s wanted. 

So after a see ya! Log burner on and half a krispie cake munched. First fire of the season. SIL asking is it that cold? She’s in a hot country at the moment! Sent her a screenshot of my weather app! 

Had a call from someone I’d met at work event a few weeks ago. So we are catching up on Monday morning. I’d given her my business card and suggested meeting up at some point…so that’s for Monday. 

Quick chat to sister to let her know brotherly stuff. 

Lovely feedback about the service I’d sent off earlier. 

Leftover steak pie and veg for tea. 

Did a bit of watching. Filled the dishwasher ( which I rarely use but had a big thing to go in) and I’m up to bed! To continue watching!
