5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Happycas

Good morning.  Very dark out there but I don't think it's raining, for a change.  Yesterday we had the most vivid orange sunrise ...followed by rain.

Frith -  those tomato puree decorations are fabulous.  I'd never have thought the inside was that lovely colour.  You're so clever. X

Went to local pub for an end of term lunch after yoga with my friend.  When we asked for white wine we were given a choice of Sauvignon, Pinot or posh Pinot.  We opted for the posh pinot as it's nearly Christmas. It was very nice, as was the meal.

Whilst there I was telling my friend I was reading a book in the Shetland series that I'd somehow missed before.  Oh, she said.  That's when ( major plot twist ) happens. Ah well.  No need to carry on reading then😂   

And on those lines, bought the latest Louise Penny yesterday.  Am going to read Grey Wolf again first though as I understand they're sort of connected. Don't think my friend reads Louise Penny so I should be ok there

Sainsbury's yesterday morning.  Very unbusy for the week before Christmas. Since they closed their cafe they're nowhere near as busy as they used to be but it makes it easier for me.

Then Littlest DGD nativity. It was a modern take on the traditional story though I'm still not quite clear why the cowboys were there.  DGD was an angel with a wonky halo - a very beautiful one too.

Unfortunately DH had to miss it as he has a fluey? Covidy? thing.  He's not dreadfully ill but didn't want to pass it on to anyone.

So today more prep and sorting.  Only a week to go!

Happy Thursday everyone

Argh I copied the post for here, and then I copied something else and lost the lot, argh.

I finished putting up and decorating the tree.

I made a banana, apple, Biscoff milkshake using up the fruit and it was great

Received a surprise hamper containing a big, cooked ham and pickles from DB, a very pleasant surprise, and exactly what we needed, with thank you notes tooing and froing while he checked on the delivery.

Leftover subway roll reheated up for lunch, and from the freezer was turned into one bowl Chilli just now.

Finally received a decent discount code for something I wanted to order for DH with free delivery, I’m just fingers crossed it arrives in time thou.

The house is far cleaner and clearer than it has been in a long time, I do have the joy of the display cabinet in the hallway awaiting me, but that’s tomorrow’s final thing.
