1 I’ve purchased a new thermal door curtain having seen just how much brighter the hallway looked without the current very dark navy one, ironically to get and line the fabric would have cost me more for the fabric let alone time making it.
2 Did my hair, face and nails, makes me feel a bit more presentable.
3 Played with the animals in the rain, while feeding fish, and re stocking bird feeders.
4 Takeaway this evening from the best Chinese restaurant I have had in the UK so far, it was delicious, I didn’t stop for rtc’s as I have plans for the freezer space.:D
5 Feeling content, and warm with a good book.:p0 -
A day of much quietness . Some of its cba but mostly feeling the need to just live quietly!
Made lamingtons tonight. Such a faff as I think each and every year I make them for Australia Day but tasty.
Doggy snuggles and companionship .0 -

suffolksue Heather Morris's The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Hard-going, so also well out of my comfort zone! i finished it tonight so can get back to 'a boy made of blocks' which i am very much enjoying. met a lovely lady whose oldest granddaughter has autism while we waited for our routine mammograms and she'd read it and said it was really good. and then back to Peter May China series. so many books, so little reading time ;-)
PS just looked up Betrayal 'A riveting and emotionally absorbing portrait of post-war Soviet Russia' which was pretty much where the Tattooist ended.MrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025

Saturday pleasures
No ill effects from my brush with hypothermia last nightI didn’t realise how far I had let my core temperature drop until I started shivering violently
pleasure was snuggling up to my DH for almost two hours until I finally got warm
My F*tb*t is happy:rotfl:
Yummy dinner - roasted skin-on chicken thighs, oven chips & sweetcorn
Started decluttering the last box in the spare room - 4” of recycled brochures, leaflets etc, bag of rubbish & 1” of shredding :T
Treated the fox to chicken bones & she didn’t bury any for her youngsters :rotfl:

Good Morning,
Recent Pleasures.....
1. Films.....Mary Queen of Scots....beautifully shot, but a period of history which makes me want to shout 'Just be friends!'......Green Book......no real surprises, and a good story.
2. Cadets awards evening.
3. It has been a difficult week for DH. Aunties funeral, old friend took his own life, another aunt in hospital with terminal cancer. Just glad the we made it to the weekend.
4. Took my group to McD to celebrate the sale of the piano desk.........nice end to the week. They deserved it.
5. Woke up to no electric sockets on Saturday morning. :eek: Lovely builder had solved the mystery by the end of the afternoon, so no emergency electrician needed.......We think our old house is rebelling. It has had enough of the extension
6. Bag to the Charity shop, but I was tempted by stuff, and came out with Christmas table cloths and tree decorations :rotfl:
7. Birthday dinner at friends house. Met their new doggie.
Having a trip out to the Cotswolds today, to pick up an EBay purchase. Hope the weather brightens up. It is very windy out there :eek:
Have a lovely day0 -
1. Chat with a friend.
2. Good journey to watch rugby. Though on way home announcement that at Vauxhall station when we were at Waterloo. Satin it for a bit before realising we were in fact at Waterloo.
3. Lost at rugby but enjoyed watching and not too cold.
4. Had coffee with DH after to wait for trains to be quieter.
5. Had tea of omelette. Quick and easy and reduced amount of eggs we have.0 -
My pleasures for yesterday;
1) Got up early and went back to bed with tea and toast.
2) Friend phoned me while I was still in bed - had a long girlie chat. She had already been out for a walk. Oh that I had the energy
3) The morning was spent sewing repairs for a friend.
4) Went to mums in the afternoon as my brother and sister were visiting. We had a good blether.
5) While I had the oven on for dinner I made oat scones so I had one this morning for breakfast instead of toast.
Bright and chilly this morning - have a nice day xxDebt free - Mortgage free - Work free ( in that order)

Saturday pleasures,
Bit of a lie-in after a rough night.
Out for breakfast and meet up with eldest hollow legged one, food was so so and expensive for what it was but lovely to catch up with all his news, he’s making some positive changes in his life.
At the yard, watching a fellow owner lunge her ex racehorse, he was a successful sprinter but not so good at the making babies thing so was gelded and put forward for rehabilitation. He’s a smashing chap and is thriving on the one to one relationship with his new owner.
My DN scored two goals, including the equaliser, for his loan club, not bad for a central defender!
Quiet evening at home, candles burning and might have had a cheeky Port0
