5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Highdays

Evening all (ooohhh, that's a bit Dixon of Dock Green for those old enough to remember!).

Back from our hols and still to catch up, hope all is well with my laptop pals. I'll catch up on all your news with a coffee in the morning.

Recent pleasures:

1. Another fab holiday in South Devon, one of our favourite places. Some rain, mainly overnight or early morning, but we had sun every day with progressively higher temperatures as the days went on. Some trips out to places old and new and some sitting and admiring the lovely views over the Tamar from the cottage, our second stay there and it didn't disappoint. Debating staying there again next year or should we try somewhere else. Hmmm….
2. An easy and smooth journey home and a bbq with son and DIL so nothing to do except sit back with delicious food and a glass of wine or two and have a good catch up.
3. Middle and little grandsons joined us. Middle grandson was meeting his pals at 10pm in a local pub before a night out (as we were thinking of heading bedwards) and little fella is coping incredibly well with plaster from armpit to wrist. He goes back tomorrow for x rays and hopefully a smaller cast. The plaster, all being well, should come off in July and then the rods removed some time later. He is very happy that he doesn't need to miss the school residential trip in June, the teachers have very kindly agreed to take him and offer support as required. He thinks his attempts at crazy golf will be very crazy!
4. Our wedding anniversary yesterday, I'm keeping him for another year as he remembered the date and I didn't. Oops, but I've lost track with being away! Lovely memories of a perfect day.
5. Not a pleasure as such as my poor sister is back in hospital and really not well. The 'pleasure' is that the monitor she has to wear alerted the hospital that all was not well, they rang her, she went straight in and was operated on pretty much immediately. Not sure yet of all the details but I think this op caused some problems and a second surgeon was called in to assist. As a result she has been on a lot of morphine since and that is making her feel pretty poorly. She missed her 60th birthday celebrations, hubby's birthday and their wedding anniversary. In the middle of all that they have had to have her beloved dog PTS as he had bone cancer and went downhill very quickly. A really rotten time all round but lucky that the system kicked into action so speedily.

Good to be home again, just starting to get back to normal after the holiday, car unpacked, washing done, post read and blissful sleep in my own bed.

Hope everyone is keeping cool, it's pretty hot out there.
