villagelife

Suffolksue - thinking of you both. Sending hugs and prayers your way.

Frith happy belated birthday.

1. A quiet day at work. Answered an email regarding communication within the department. Some of my suggestions won't be popular and probably will be ignored but I made them. The ideas were about feedback so I'm not expecting any!

2. Texting a friend.

3. Read my book. I'm enjoying it.

4. Enjoyed walking round the garden. Watered the plants in the greenhouse.

5. Physio exercises.

LaineyT

Sending positive thoughts that you both get the help & support you need SuffolkSue

Belated birthday wishes to Frith

Tuesday pleasures,

The heavy mugginess of the previous day disappeared and it was much fresher, no more headache!

Selling some stuff on bay of flea.

Capt S got a code lowering our race ticket prices by 30% :j

Thai fish parcels for tea.

Watching old episodes of W1A, forgotten how funny, yes exactly.

SS Jenny sends out another shocker :heartpuls It must be ok, but would has bin betta if Stokes had stayed at the crease!
For parsihoners, Jenny is BoP’s boost box ICD! Twin leaded!

I guess Engerland Cricket cannot bat second, but we must keep mum otherwise & will be on about that French invention it was and her kiwi blood!

Now as you are aware BoP makes sure that he is fed properly inn the mornings and this very day I did feed me self properly again with he honey monsters food! And you should see the spoon. Any how I just is telling yous that BoPsie, who I create another decent packed lunch box everyday, hinted inn the refrigerator this day the cake should make its weigh into her box! It has, as well as BoP’s. there that is what it is like to has the proper foods and no waste.

Just founds out why Raffles is not encouraging the yellow thing this weak. Apparently is the mud festival on, and hence no yellow. He cannot does everything. Normal service when the luvvies have flown out above the traffic chaos?

Watched some Jimmy Stewart last nigh, as wells as some ketchup with the World at War! Now it was Pearl Harbor last nite, and it was filmed about thirty years after the event. Hmmm, we has had nothing but bullshine on the Falklands and that now was thirty seven years ago. Apart from Simons war, a must watch, nothing! Apart from conjecture?

Now ons about BoP happenings. Well we had tagatelly with mushrooms last nite inn toms sauce. Nice fresh and tasty. You can also pay over the odds inn the emporium for a salted carp five weak old literia infested meal of ready as well. On about expensive meals, BoPsie noted that she saw the cheese on toast delivery service last nite on the weigh home!

Off to JAM this evening with BoPsie as it is club nite. Tea will be drunk. Don’t forgets it is AFD on SatDay and we has a Supermarine Spitfire appearing in the aft’noon! BoP is appearing live on Sunday this weak! A must C!

Now onto other things in BoPLand!

At mill, just waiting for another drop to do. Hopeful on news up norff this weak.

Now as for tonites dinner, we have brewed chili or poached eggs and chips. Now ifs I leaf the chili til FryDay, it will be well hottish. Mmmmmm. This is what it is like being BoP. Decent food and choice!
Egg and chips it is!

As the prof said, ifs theys has not called you by name, you got off with it!
The best thing you can give someone is time.

No 1-5 osps today, just points of chat.

As & predicted, bop, we are being well found out - overdue - by some delicious Pakistani bowling. Graeme Swann is also delicious in commentary, droll, dry, v.likeable, best sort of spinny deceptive and sharp:-). Liked him so much with Henry Blofeld in Norwich a year or 2 back.
There's been v. funny true/false wit and talk about scoreboard fonts.

All sorts of birdy conferences and songs and company right now. Don't know who they all are, except 2 very tame robins, Madame Merle, all old friends. Jackdaw and collared dove teens all lined up on no.2 shed roof. They can pile in for slugs and snails galore, along with the expensively topped up bird food. There must be mealworm millionaires, when & mealworm muggins:-)

Raffles - that very point was made on R4 the other day, re: current pampered yoof, who can't/won't do festi mud.

Something's a bit wrong so back to surgery shortly.

Spits won't be happening tmrw: & still has big petrol North>all 3 Spookymens Chorale concerts.

Out went & with hedge shears, back in, swapped for secateurs. Suddenly became high, tottering, barrowful, wheeled down back. (And more wickets gone each journey in and out) It can all calm down for a day or several before pitchforking on top of compost, which is getting to point of needing planning permission.

Someone coming by commented, so & gave armful of santalina, should grow on easily. Person v. happy.

Robin is near my knee, lifting left wing and doing some grooming.

Oh look. I has set & offs about the cricket!

DigForVictory

I was thinking perhaps I should apologise for the Latin but it seems to have been 'well tolerated'!
BoP, 'Can you "set & off"' is the sort of philsophical question best pondered in a nice pub garden, ideally with its own microbrewery & cook aiming a lot higher but practising here. The Met crystal ball jugglers declare Raffles is going to be working flat out in the coming days, so thank you in advance for Yellow Stuff even if they are wrong.
Frith - happy belated bithday & hurrah smaller son joining in. Belgian buns with dates & apricots & ground almonds sound utterly delicious!
Suffolk Sue - oh my dear, sometimes these diagnoses are harder to carry than the uncertainty. May your support medics be a great deal more tactful as well as positive, supportive & on site.
Ampersand - more surgery - bother, but yippee SpookyMen. Please carry on keeping clean dry etc?
LaineyT - all the best at the races!
villagelife - likely the week after you retire a slew of changes will be implemented hugely improving the environment, all of which have your fingerprints. Keep agitating for better!
Dundeedoll, congratulations on figuring the Latin & mashed banana on toast has gone onto my try sometime list.
Broomstick - it's not easy but it will make future memories easier. Says one who spends 8 hours travelling to spend 7 hours with parents but they are Such happy positive hours, It's worth it.
Purple kitten - a bad night triggers a heavier day but the outcomes are so positive it;s almost worth it - but I'll bet the bath felt Wonderful! Good chocolate is its own unique pleasure.
mhagster? Hoping you are deep in healing sleep after a flat out week-&-a-bit, that family are well, that garden is coping without you & that Haggis is not eating anything he shouldn't.

OS Pleasures recently
Stuck in traffic watching a robin enjoy something squashed.

Sharing haiku on assorted subjects, from reading glasses to found things to good books to the changeable weather!

Hearing the squalks of an old friend falling down the rabbit hole that is Flanders & Swann. Apparently her (mild) obsession with “Ill Wind” is All My Fault. My reply was to remind her of Tom Lehrer...

My mum’s expression as she arranged the flowers whilst wearing the silk scarf I brought her [from a charity shop]... truly being a good daughter has it’s rewards.

It is amusing being in a room where I can hear two clocks ticking, observe father & cat snoozing & think mum also napping. [Believe. Hope.]

“Your tick hooks are on the bannister.” Some days, in-house communications are a little odd.

Dunno who left the dandelion yellow Lamborghini parked but it’s brought a lot of smiles & selfies...

Car park guys & I showing proud phone snaps, him of grandchildren, me of parents!

Blimey - fire drill on building site, what a lot of folk in hard hats & hi vis trooping off, and all admirably orderly.

Son lost £35 as paying in machine glitched, but when he pushed for a second check lo! £35 found & credited to his account. Phew! Not sure if that was human stupidity or cupidity in the bank but at least he is not out of pocket as a result.


It occurs to me that delighting in parents is tactless? But they are an osp. Argh bell ringing. Hugs health strength love courage & line dried laundry to all!

Frith

Pleasures for today (Wednesday).


1) A smashing video of bigger son surrounded by small children (I would say aged 4-7) all singing happy birthday to me in their best English :-D They all look very chuffed!


2) Just a couple of hours at work today.


3) Hens OK and I organised 2 ladies in the village to look after them and the cat when we go on holiday.


4) Car went in for its MOT repairs. I borrowed the garage car and went back 3ish and it was still up in the air, wheels off. It would definitely be done by 6, they said (doesn't matter to me either way) but I went back then and it was nowhere to be seen and the doors were locked! Presumably it is still in there, perched on the ramp.


5) Went to floody city for a cup of tea with my school friend.


6) Watched 24 Hours in A and E.


7) Have been doing some holiday planning.




No work tomorrow - hoorah!
