5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Highdays

Morning all.

Great photos, Frith.

Woke up this morning after a dream of a very ex-boyfriend from many, many years ago. Don't often remember my dreams but this seems to be hanging around and I'm feeling a bit discombobulated, no way I ever give him a minute's thought so where on earth did that come from? Told hubby in an attempt to 'break the dream' but he just laughed and said is he any good at cleaning shower screens (that will make sense if you manage to get as far as pleasure 5). 

Some quick pleasures:

1) Hugs from big grandson who used to curl up on my knee but now towers over me. Found him watching telly stretched out on the settee from which he informed me that 'Reading Week' meant he was reading the subtitles. Lovely to have him back albeit briefly.

2) Middle grandson meandered in asking for face cream for his dry face. He's a bit into 'products' and expensive smellies so left clutching a tube of Cleanse and Polish, a muslin cloth and a tub of moisturiser after we'd had a play at doing a mini facial. Told me I had very good skin for an old lady (!).

3) Little grandson won 'Star of the Week' at school so got to have hot chocolate with the headmistress. As it was Pyjama Day the photo came back from school of the pair of them in their jammies holding their mugs of hot chocolate. No wonder he loves school, I don't remember it being like that in our day!  Also another fiver in his bank towards his car from us. Told him he is costing me a fortune and can he do a bit less well, seems not......

4) Plasterers caught us a bit on the hop by arriving a day early due to a cancellation. Fortunately all was just about ready for them so by tomorrow the soon-to-be-lounge will be plastered. Boiler service also being done so 'son's side' is a bit overrun. I've scuttled back to the relative calm in here.

5) The big clean up is underway in readiness for us hosting the family 'Christmas do' next weekend. The only pleasureable part of the cleaning process is that by next Friday the house and every nook and cranny in it will have been scoured and scrubbed and will not need doing again for a very long time. Doubt anybody will be inspecting the runners on my bedside cabinet drawers but by then they will be more than welcome to do so.

To further develop my ability to procranstinate I'm just about to make a coffee and then had better get cracking, the thinking about doing is sometimes worse than the doing.

Have a good day whatever you are up to.
