5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

mhagster

Hello. After a very grey day the sun kind of peeked through about 5pm so we currently have a clear-ish sky. Hoping for a nice sun set. 

Anyway have felt much better today. 

Up early. 

Then went back to bed and dozed for a wee while and then took my time getting up. 

Went to supermarket. 

Then went over to pick up DD2 and her doggy and off we went to CP.  Had such a lovely walk. Much crunching of leaves! And watching them come down off the trees. Had lunch and just sat chatting which was nice. Then tidied up and came home.

New car has a warning light on! Not very happy! But can’t do anything till Monday! Grrr! Anyway nothing happened on way there or back. 

Made soup and sent DD2 off with three tubs filled. We both had a bowl of soup for our tea and then I have some left that I’ll probably have tomorrow. I have no tubs left as they’re all at hers! She loves soup…I could take it or leave it! Happy to have a bowl when I make it but probably wouldn’t make it just for myself! 

And it’s time for Strictly! 

A much better day than yesterday!

Crikey Frith, you would have thought that a social worker of all people would know better! 🤞that something comes of your letter of complaint re work situation.

For today,

A lie-in, my own bed and clean sheets, blissful.

The predicted sunshine never materialised but we were busy in the garden and then took C dog for a walk around the fields.

The V E T a phoned to say that the results of her sample show extreme resistance to most forms of antibiotics but I’m taking her in on Monday and we have a plan of action, no insurance of course because it’s a pre-existing condition evident from her cauliflower ear so savings being hit which isn’t an obvious pleasure but she’s such a lovely soul and deserves a chance.

United got 3 points at home, it was streamed free but after a lengthy delay due to referee injury the stream finished 10 mins before the end so we had to resort to the good old radio.

My other girlie was more pleased to see me and even gave a little nicker as I walked up her field. Good chat with another owner and even produced a tub of cooling gel for him to use on his horse’s leg, by far the oldest on the yard but with age comes experience 😉

Frith, that's a lot for you to deal with.

For yesterday,

Up early and travelled to mum in laws, and set to helping remove a tree, my role was mainly removing the smaller branches from the ground with a lopper into manageable pieces for the mulching. Her neighbour happily took the leftovers to burn. We grabbed a takeaway for dinner and other family turned up in the evening.

For today

Had to pop out for both litter and chicken for the critters. 

Booked in for the flu jabs

Did some basic cleaning to make it passable, more to do but at another time, but that clean bedding feeling for us tonight.

While writing this post I had to stop as I had a tap on my foot and a custard wanting a cuddle for a couple of minutes - always a pleasure.
