Highdays

Morning all.

The weekend again, the weeks are flying by.

Recent pleasures:

1. Part 1 of the current round of dental work went ok, better for being done. Stitches pulling a bit but seems to be healing ok. Round 2 in November so no need to think of that yet.
2. Little fella has settled well at big school and won Maths star of the week.
3. Lovely autumn days and the nights are pulling in.
4. Gentle strolls and chats with my boy.
5. A weekend at home, first one since July. Following the dentist's advice to 'take it easy for a few days' I don't need telling twice so Saturday papers, books and my new AI history course are the order of the day. Funny how a subject you didn't care for much at school takes on a whole new perspective when you are doing it for fun! Fascinating stuff, I'm hooked.

Not a very exciting time here compared to some but happily plodding along with some satisfying pleasures along the way. Hope you find some this weekend too.

Hello. For Saturday

Up early.

Chores

Then round to DD2. Out to baby group at library. Bit noisy!
We had booked a table for brunch.

Appointment at opticians. A very thorough check of a problem I’ve been experiencing.

Stopped at supermarket to get bits and pieces for heading to caravan… met 4 sets of folk! Chatters with each!

C’mon doggy, let’s go.

Sunday.

Up early. Had walk with dog then I went a longer walk myself.

Morning swim and then later an afternoon swim.

And washed the decking again…sigh!
But such a lovely afternoon…so peaceful, birdsong, gently warm.
Was all packed and ready to go when I got in from swim. Just came home in my cossie.

Quick walk before we left and a nice drive home.

Chat to DD2 on FaceTime.

for today

1. packed a cheese sarnie from the breakfast buffet for lunch - it was lish
2. the students were fab - great journal clubs - and suddenly 3 days of teaching is over
3. trip to a mall - my colleague bought 3 dresses for his wife and 2 traditional clothes for his sons (sorry not sure what they're called)
4. back to the hotel for our takeaway supper and all i want is my bed but colleague really keen to go to another mall for more shopping - finally i relent and he is very happy which in itself makes it worth while
5. and of course very glad i went - not least cos i can actually stretch my legs in the mall which is very smart, very spacious and a lovely temperature - he successfully locates a lovely abaya for his wife and a Sharjah mug for him (i also succumb to a mug) then it's very tasty icecream and home to our hotel

lie in tomorrow then 3:15 flight to Edinburgh. i have been online to see what films i want to see :-)

Weakened Bits with BoP!

BoPsie had a serious reversion on Sundae. In 40 years of nowing her BoP and who has never in his life touched a packet of Rich Tea, has bought one home. The birds have been well fed!

Watched a couple of pictures! San Francisco with Clark Gable and others. Good effects for the 30's! Cheese and wobbleades were drunked.

Proper Foods

BoP did the Edinburgh brakefest on SatDay. Was well received by BoPsie.

Stu and Dumplings were had with door stop carrots. Tasty. I now do individual; steam puds. This weak was Choklate Spotted Richard! With instant lumpy custard.

See I stills dose the proper foods!

Buzby sends his gratings! 💙

Hello…shall type quickly before the battery runs out!

Was an oddly mild start to the day. Up early. A list of chores.

Popped to supermarket to get supplies…my fridge and cupboard always look like Mother Hubbards as it’s just me and I spend half my time at caravan…so needed to buy a bit more than I usually do!

Tried to send a blooming Vinted parcel, first place was full, second place wasn’t working, third place only had extra small slot…squeezed the parcel in! So as I was at that side of town thought I would pop in and see if a friend was in, she was but was heading out so I dropped her off instead of her having to take the bus.

Then home. I loathe putting shopping away😆 and two loads of washing out which I’m glad I brought them in when I did later as ten minutes later it was pouring and has been since. All my caravan bedding all bagged up and ready to go.

Then it was time to collect some travellers…at the train station. Then we went for a quick lunch in town and then up the road to DD2. I stayed about 20 minutes then came home as there was a parcel being delivered.

Chat to sister then had a very mini snoozette.

Work call so two services booked in.

Made tea…macaroni. DD1 favourite. And also some pizzas. Had got one free with my Clubcard. Every little helps. They all came back round and we had a nice meal and chatter and laughter and baby cuddles.

The jet lagged went to bed. And The Baby went home. And just me and my doggy…aaaah peaceful.

Got some beautiful gifts from Australia 🇦🇺

I’ve been mia, I will get back into posting daily happys as it can’t be a bad thing to appreciate every day.

A sad little update, as of 3 days ago, all our poorlies have passed. I’m feeling a bit at sea as I prepared medicines now every day since January 2021, and while Rhubarb has been poorly since April, I’ve also been getting up at 4am to feed him, and now I just wake up naturally at that point.

I’m finding writing about my memories is helping vastly, almost like I’m worried I’ll forget if I don’t write down the details as and when they remind me.

Meal planning, I’m trying to move some weight away, so I am trying to be careful with food, and I also know we have a lovely long weekend coming up, where I will just enjoy it rather than worrying about food bits, I did weigh in and I’m just shy of losing a stone so far.

Yesterdays food was HM pork and herb burgers, of which I’ll have about half and I’m finding that enough.

I pondered around the garden, collecting up the seeds from the dead sunflower seeds, and I think the last of the courgettes, although there is another flower on there and got on with mowing hoping it would distract me, but then I had to move his toys – he always has a tennis ball somewhere around him.

For today, the other ferrets are keeping a good eye on us since Rhubarbs passing, he used to sleep on the bed with us, and they are now also sleeping on the duvet for a little while.

Planted up some more mixed salad leaves as we are using more than it’s regenerating so have a few pots now, rocket, green leaves, mixed leaves and chard.

Tonight’s food is everything leftover into a risotto.

I repaired one of my skirts, handily had a matching orange thread, although a lot of my things need renewing, they are very faded now. Old photos come up and I realise I’m wearing the same thing. But I haven’t seen anything bright and sparkly to replace things with just yet.
