5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Purple_kitten

1 Enjoying just playing and interacting with the animals, hoping they love it also, our rescue is coming along in confidence slowly but surely, it’s humbling to see him getting there.

2 Bathroom cleaned, upstairs mirrors and windows cleaned, our bedding off and clean on. Oven part cleaned.

3 Second coat of paint is on that’s officially one third of the lounge done, however we need 2 more big tins of paint at a wow very ouchy cost.

4 Feeling good having booked in a break date, I have a funny feeling we may need to start thinking of changing things as DH’s arthritis is bad, but we will see how it goes.

5 Popped the heating on as its downright cold tonight.

Morning all from the very early train. I am off to Town of Gown to the library there. I need to read a thesis, of which there is just the one copy so I'm in for the day as they don't even let you photograph it.....

It has been a week since my last pleasures! I must do better...

So, pleasures for the last week:

1. Lots of walks by the sea, thinking and thinking...
2. Had nice yummy mostly veggie food
3. Friends turned up on Friday and it was nice to finally have company after a week alone - cycled to the pub there and then they invited me for tea. WObbly cycle ride back after much gin :rotfl:
4. Wonderful anniversary party for friends on Saturday. Steam train up the line, cake and fizz at the end. A circuit by the sea finishing in the pub then buffet and dancing, dancing, dancing.
5. Lovely also to catch up with old friends who i'd forgotten would be there.
6. Lost a document :eek: but the pleasure is that, because i'd done the groundwork I could write it again .. but better :T
7. Reasonable journey back yesterday. Saw OH at Shrewsbury station - he was going where i'd just come from! Quick peck and onto our respective trains "see you tomorrow!"
8. Made him a birthday cake - he is 60 on Thursday. Old bu&&err :rotfl: DD has ordered a Thomas the Tank iced cake topper
9. Watched the Victim. T'was fabulous. And working through the Widow. Missed Line of Duty as felt rather poorly and retired to bed
10. my boy is home for Easter - he's already annoying :rotfl: but I miss him when he's away.

Have a lovely day all.

Enjoy your trip VJS

Monday pleasures,

Rough night so that first cup of proper coffee.

In to horsey town to replenish cupboards, emporium was quiet and a few bargains to be had.

Washed little dog’s blanket and my yard jackets, all dried on the line by evening.

Watched a fox stalking some rabbits out by the old barn, he missed out that time but suspect he got his tea at some point as evidence of a kill by the beech trees this morning. Also two Muntjac were walking up the side of the field, it’s like springwatch around here!

Uni Challenge followed by the lovely MB cooking up a storm and flirting with firemen

it is indeed flippin' freezing mhags
love your son doing 56 miles for the 56% frith do you have a picture of a spoon to share? i am intrigued!
i remember reading a whole thesis on microfiche vjsmum when i started on my phd journey
1) another strange fridge raid soup, this time sludgy purple due to wilting red cabbage, but again delicious (used half a pot of past date but still OK hummous)
2) sharing memories of ex-colleague - she was much loved
3) finding a pack of walnuts in my filing cabinet
4) receiving some copies of a booklet i've done on formative assessment
5) after finishing at 7:30, walking home in a gale then walking the dogs in a perishing park, getting home to comfort food (rest of penne arabiata) and a cosy bed with book 4 of Narnia.

Oh DD just realised wes is safe! All I want now for easter is for the scooooonts to be relegated! I cant put the rusty steal town name here as the filter of profanity blocks it! But ifs yous look at the fishy pages it speaks volumes. Sparra and those with a weak hart, please don’t!
Ohs Ms Friths, I stayed at a digs where one the bar peoples was from Nepal. He collected for one of there various earthquakes they have. He said that in his village, they build the houses that close together, in the hope that ifs they shudder, the lot will gently rock together and just tilt! Mostly they do!

Good news! While preparing decent food on Sunday, I sliced me finger. It is now mended as such!

Yes you wake up and everything is coming up smelling of roses, knowing the statin is doing you no good at all! Jenny sends out a :heartpuls for that! Oh I fear that the miracle cure is not all it is cracked up to be. Better has mine tested, no, just like type 2 diabetes, the cure is in the diet and staying off carp foods. Got it?

Talking of carp foods, every once in a while, and as it is BoPsie’s birthday, we sample foods that are clearly bad for you, so yous lot don’t has too! Wells last nite we watched the gunners, had some wobbleade and some pringle things. Now its was justs like eating raw Cadbury smash! The one with the Martians and the tatties peeler! Avoid! There, another service for you!

On abouts foods, Raffles was well impressed with the Moroccan chicken yesterday and wanted it before his turn. As you can see, no proper food in BoP’s pad is wasted! Good for you!

Now we is prepping this weak to do our lounge this weakened! Carpet out and things like that. Should be good as BoPsie is a dab hand at this painting game!

Well yesterday on getting BoPsie’s card, I gets me self a couple of new shirts to wear inn the boiler room. Talking of the boiler room, the shovel master has still not responded. Thinks mes just check my biographical data is up to date on the in linked pages! Mind yous millwright is happy with the amount of coal I manage to bring inn to keep the furnace burning.

On abouts librarys and books! Still reading me book ‘Prisoner of War’, by Major Pat Reid. I’s said before about the Blind leading the Blind, it gets interesting on how some victors treated their captures, such as Saladin in Jerusalem, where he was humbled by the citizens, to events in Korea and how we see things these days! These days to ease the calm, we probably need to rid ourselves of the politicians and have a new Saladin to embrace us all? Got another 6 days until Vets breakfast and return into our library. Minds me must download Max’s book from the web to listen too. His books take an age to read! Reading inn parallel his book on the out brake of the Great War!

Nos yous not wrong, BoP just uses this page to give out his daily rantings, grumblings and pass on his thoughts. If yous bin effected by these words then you should join me inn the Bridge and we can discuss it! Then you will realise that BoP is … Nos, BoP is deliberate inn get inn words rong! In tact is quiet difficult to do sow! Guess I nearly made a pigs ear of that’s thens!

Oh, and don’ts forgets you birthday wish for BoPsie! On that, late inn this morning on the textograph thing, the pringles, seems the birds at BoPsie’s salt mine are inn for a treat!

That’s hows it is in your version of the ‘Life of BoP!’

Hello. It's rather wet here. Was dry when I hung out my washing this morning...!

A day that started productively. Wrote a list and got all but one thing done and weather is now preventing that.

Then DD persuaded me to go out for lunch. Her treat. It was nice.

Popped into the r@nge, which I don't really love as I just find it far too big and cluttery but was looking for something specific which I found. Then admired a picture of a highland coo...probably very massed produced and on thousands of walls:) anyway I liked it and then saw it was half price so it's now on my bedroom wall . I have named it after my middle child who was a bit of a coo on the phone to her sister!

Sorted the remains of my big birthday bouquet. It's nearly hayfever time so less flowers inside from now on. My boyo gets terrible hayfever.

Finished my library book.

Had chicken with salad for tea.

DD2 seriously considering going back to Australia and I'm making mutterings also. Who knows? Just feeling very unsettled here. Just really need my husband wherever I am and I know that's not going to ever happen. See what / where life leads me. I've always said she could go back and I just needed her to be here for that first year. So she's busy emailing Uni out there ( she had a deferred placement) As much as here is home , Melbourne is too. And I miss it so. I miss my friends as I missed my friends from here. Anyway...that's ahead not now and life is for living in the now.

1 So many washing loads, nets, curtains, bedding and animal bedding all done.
2 One end of the lounge re assembled and at the same time disassembled to make room for moving the other end of the room, detest redecorating! But it will be a pleasure when it’s done.
3 Popped to lidl for fruit and veg and might have picked up some geraniums.
4 I was meant to be at an exercise class tonight and I literally didn’t realise the time, I’m going to have to hope the redecorating is burning calories.
5 Heard back and our away dates are available now just crossing my fingers it will be quiet.
6 Booked all of the animals in for distemper jabs, I have to say the cost is enough to put anyone off, but then we have a few animals rather than one.

LaineyT

It’s the small animal vet thing PK, little dogs annual jabs are more expensive that horse girlie, 14kg versus 3/4 tonne, go figure

Tuesday pleasures,

Another rough night, getting a bit of a habit albeit a bad one so pleasure of good coffee.

I really cracked on and did most of the house ahead of a busy couple of days.

Horse girlie had obviously been itchy and had been rolling, sandy earth of the Brecks imbedded in her coat so more cleaning needed!

Shopped in my toiletries stash and found a posh hand cream I had forgotten about.

Supper of pesto crusted salmon with roasted cauli and celeriac mash, then watched SF of Only Connect, tough questions!

PM2PK Whens yous finished your lounge, BoPsie could do with a had doing ours!

So previously I had a number, not a letter. Actually I had both though. I had a rank and did my duty. Yesterday I was relabelled as a ‘State Actor’. I am not a puppet, I had no strings!

Nows yous expect BoP to have a hunch about the bonfire inn Paris? Nows before I lost my faith, I was told a roof stopped you talking directly with god? But imagine how quickly the worldly rich. Sorry French have contributed to replacing the roof, yet we still have uneducated, and hunger in the world!

Enuff rant then!

Last nite wes was out because it was BoPsie’s birthday! I had balls, meat balls and BoPsie had her pie and mash! Large glass of whine and BoP had wobbleade!

Shovel Master has responded, wes no close yet. Hard Ball mode activated on BoP! Usual rules, BoP is correct in all things! See above and notes passim!

It is hard being like BoP!
