5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

mhagster

We started our day with a spot of weeding and admiring the plants.

Then I was off out…I was very kindly gifted a granddaughter last week and today was first full day of helping out as son in law went back to work.

So we’ve had an eventful day… he had automatically locked the door behind him…my house keys were in my car across the road. Couldn’t find DD2 keys…anyway a very kind workman who was digging up the street kindly helped us…as I had to talk through the high window and beep him into my car to get my keys to then pass them through the window…20 minutes later we found her keys.

I was then going to leave to feed my doggy but by this time a huge lifter lorry was in front and blocking my car. So had to ask them to move and was told ( being funny ) they should have kept us locked in. And was expecting the pup to be back his dog walk but he wasn’t…and then when he got back he’d been in a stinky puddle. And I had just put clean dog blankets in car this morning!! So then had to wash him when I got him home !

chat to sister whilst I waited for Pup.

And then I had a zoom call for work.

And then I made spag bol for tea…ate that with them and came home…absolutely exhausted 😆

It’s now a beautiful evening after a heavy shower kind of day.

how lovely @mhagster lols re the keys - today i locked myself out - fortunately neighbour has spare - when i got in i checked all my pockets and surfaces, no key so where the heck was it? i'd hung it on the key rack when i got in from last dog walk of the day d'oh

1. getting my duvet cover in dry just before i went to work (deluge of rain lunchtime so felt smug!)
2. giggles at work - we've had a tough week (and it's only Tuesday!) so giggle much needed
3. cooking recipe 2 from next door's gifted hello fresh (other half in fridge for tomorrow)
4. housework to absolute 80s
5. finding my key!

• Other ospers may be the same, setting off to do One Thing and, half an hour later, having somehow done a great number of so many other not remotely related things instead.....or as well.😁

• 1 ......so, late to be finally sitting outside with small bread and big tea and very likely to be rained on, if not hailed, as yesterday. Frith has seen this, so apologies 😀

• 2. Lovely rat poison, yum yum, left at gate by dear D. It has to be, with mediaeval farmland out back and ratty chaps the size of feral cats also around, and twice mistaken for them! Yes, yes, & knows......

• 3. Great local - Town of Gown - history talk last night on the history of the Chivers family, jams, jellies, preserving, freezing, drying - a remarkable, close and inventive family, again in the best Victorian tradition of caring for their workers+families, their health and happiness=loyalty, entertainment, strongly on education, especially for girls and women, always paying above any going rate..... Especially wanted to know more about their remarkable young woman chemist who led the way in so much, inventing processes, machinery and enzyme discovery+research!👏👌🥇Ok &, not everyone wants it chapter and verse again.😁

4. Well, very glad NOT to have refuelled at Town of Horse MrT, where doblo's diesel was still 189⁹ per ltr, whereas 171⁹ at Fulbourn! 🫣😱+🫶. That's £4.50 saved.👏

5. New bin day+4 new bins nonsense began yesterday. Bonkers weather meant, unce emptied, many were blown all over the roads, some already run over. & donates, recycles, composts nearly everything, so irrelevant. Costs must be huge! Currently using the small clear bags to carry the potted up oak and walnut seedlings.👍😀

Lovely grand-daughter and all-round happy family news, Mhaggie.🫶🤱

🙄As always, back to correct more autocorrect nonsense.

Hmm, crazy weather things won't upload and, as I speak, hear⚡☔🌨️and see out library windows it's all starting again!!! Tremendous orchestral thunder!....and back a couple of moments later to report even more huge lightning so, so near that thunder was felt through 2nd floor library walls!!! Amazing! Ok &, standing down. No more weather, promise!😁
