5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Frith

Pleasures for today (Monday).


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Bigger son went to work this morning (garage job). The owner was so outraged at the motorcycle theft that he offered to buy him one and he could pay him back! Bigger son turned that down and then the owner went looking around for his old push bike to give him (not knowing that bigger son owns one already).


3) Hens OK and 3 eggs today.


4) Had a very busy morning getting the kitchen ready for repainting. Hoovered/scrubbed all the drawers, cupboard and shelves. Sugar soaped the walls. Cleaned the surfaces, cupboard front and the appliances. Cleaned the fridge out. Cleaned the floor lastly. Haven't got any kitchen paint but I did do the second coat of paint on the new plaster in the living room.


5) Had a call from the museum I want to volunteer at so that is progressing nicely.


6) Had lamb shank for tea with rice.


7) Brother came round bearing slices of bread pudding and we played Settlers of Catan - I won for the first time ever!


8) Watched I'm a Celebrity.

Good Morning,

Woke early in need of honey and lemon.

Yesterday

1. Half hearted attempt to go to work, but dropped DS2 at school and went home. Good decision.

2. Mostly sat in a big nest on the sofa until late afternoon. Until DS2 came home and we watched a film.

3. Made chicken pie from LO chicken while watching new Kirsty Christmas Craft programme.

4. retreated to the sofa again to watch last of The little Drummer Girl.

5. Mince pie and cream.

Have a lovely day

1. Good flight home after relaxing holiday.

2. Visited MIL, she is going downhill but saw her agaib. Both sons but especially DS1 have been visiting regularly while we were away.

3. Went to her old house and dropped in small present for DS1 and saw buikder(BIL) Work on it is going fine.

4. Home,after food shopping,and saw my hens. Let them out in the garden. It seems like winter in the garden now and before we went away for a week it was definitely still autumn.

5. Good to see DS2 again and had long chat.

6. Early night after a night flight.

Hey & :wave: good to see you!
Hope you feel better soon HouseElf

Monday pleasures,

Physio exercise class, painful so weird pleasure but hopefully will help the healing.

Did a stock shop which will help me avoid the emporiums in the coming weeks.

Good chat with friend and arrangements made to meet up at weekend.

More talk! chatting over stable door with another livery, pony got fed up trying to get my attention and fell asleep with her head leaning on my back, so cute.

Uni Challenge followed by 24 hours in A&E.

As rare as Rocking Horse carp …
Turmite Rice, remember when the Indian did saffron and charged a bomb, but it was really turmeric!

V Not long before the Tea party tour starts. BoPsie is inn … Tour Live starts soon.

4 See we is going also to the Palace. It will be an inflatables day out, as declared by followers of ‘The Theatre of Fish’ Not the kind of inflatables that your mother would be proud of either!

3 I fear the club standby act has been on the bottle, n’ver mind. Used to when we had bad acts in the bar of pigs in the naffy, we would throw twopenny bits and tell them at half time to not bother with the second act! There, that is how you deal with them! Be careful, the throwing of two penny pieces can cause distress to younger persons these days and should be avoided, as with clapping and general laughter.

2 No stock shop here via emporium. Just out last nite at w8rs and partners. Salmon was reduced by a third and purchased. That is xmas luncheon sore ted. All I needs nows is the recipe for the sauciness. No it will not be parsley sauciness either. The cake is only three weaks aways from being sliced. Got is. News down at the mill is that the punter empire at causeway of cribs needs to be avoided as the sheople are going around aimlessly wasting their money. Be warned, that some educational place is warning you not to spend more than £50, £45 more that BoP on trinkets.

Have read one today. Just read about the crew of the B-17 in March 1994 and the rocking horse. Not available on liedepedia. John Wynne who crewed a B-17 suffered an engine failure and bailed his crew out over what he thought was France in the latter stages of the war. He wrote letters to the families of the crew expressing that they would soon be home. He wrote again shortly later thinking that they had been taken prisoner and would be free soon. In fact he later found out they had been lynched in nearby Huchenfeld years later. With the team at Coventry Cathedral, a plaque and other items were made in reconciliation over the events late in the war. Will try and link, but I is at the mill at the mo.

Press reader has a link if you search John Wynne (Daily Telegraph December 2018)
Their stories are getting fewer.

The rocking horse given to the children of Huchenfeld was made from sycamore and called Hope.

My five for today are ;

1) Went with dsil for coffee and cheese scone at nearby Waitrose. Have been going there for a couple of years but thinking of swapping to another tearoom since they stopped giving free tea or coffee. Their offers now are not as good.

2) Then went for a wander around TKMAXX and nearly succumbed to buying a tree fairy but managed to stop myself.

3) Home for 20 mins then time for lunchtime walk with "walking friend".

4) Then mums for cuppa tea, chat and Tunnocks teacake.

5) After mums popped into see another friend who has had bad news. A problem shared is a problem halved.

Home at 5 in time for making a quick dinner - actifry chips, cold meat and salad. Very busy but good day xx
