5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

mhagster

Hello. Just caught up on three days worth of OSP. My battery had ran out and I hadn't charged it!

Work. Day 20 in a blooming row done! However I am still enjoying it.

Today we were exceptionally busy and I finished at 3pm.
Home and grabbed a doggy and we drove to allotment. Did about 90 mins of weeding. I seriously cannot believe how fast these weeds can grow!

Has been very warm here today. Washings dried and plants all watered.

Got 3 RTC plants that are sitting very nicely in my new charity shop planters £1,£1 and £2 .

Went to a new charity shop on Monday and got loads of black tops and trousers for work for £1 each. Have sorted out my wardrobe so can just reach in for work and grab my clothes. Black is so not my colour ! Give me a bright green any day!

Singing to Sound of Music LP that DD1 had bought...we were spinning round and round up the kitchen as I cooked tea!

She's away to Ireland on her travels.

Sons face when he got a letter from HMRC ...he's getting a handsome rebate. He thought it was a toll fine!

Had a horrifically sore back yesterday. Just had to come to bed early as I couldn't bare to be up. Bit better today.

Friends daughter popped into my work today with a lovely bunch of flowers. It was friends birthday but they're away on holiday and she didn't want to waste the flowers so they're in my downstairs loo!

My amazing peonies. Stunningly beautiful. Love them

Sue i know it won't be much consolation but at least you have a proper diagnosis and care and treatment can be appropriately directed to your husband. Apply for any benefits you may be entitled to. There may be respite facilities on offer, even if just to give you a couple of hours to yourself. I know it's very different in circumstances but when my husband was diagnosed terminally ill and referred to the palliative care team ( which we both really, really struggled with and we found their visits intrusive as fairly far on we managed very well without them) as his 'carer' a term I hated and he hated I was able to have access to massage therapy and counselling sessions which helped. So , maybe see if there's anything similar on offer.
I'm sending you much love x

Wednesday pleasures,

Yellow, buttery eggs on marmite toast for breakfast.

Time spent with equine girlie, have made some adjustments to her feed after some testing behaviour and did a lot of productive groundwork.

Have a mystery warning light on car, according to handbook it’s a bulb that’s gone but have been around all known lights and they seem to be working, it only happens now and again!

Into town of gown, picked up DB and we went to see Apollo 11 at the Picturehouse, extremely good and I learnt a lot about the moon landings.

Time spent with my brother, always good.

Bedtime. Oooft it's hot. Had left bedroom windows open but window cleaners had been round and pushed them shut. (someone was home didn't randomly leave them open)

I'm just in from work. Did 7-12 then 4-9 we opened this evening for first time. Tips this morning. Tips this evening!

Hoovered downstairs and washed floors and cleaned bathrooms. Washings out and in.

Got a lovely bunch of RTC flowers.

Broomstick

Evening all,

Hugs to all that need them.

Am going to disappear again for a bit and will resurface in a week or two. This is not a pleasure but there is a rightness about it:

My beloved, beloved, beloved dad died peacefully with my mum beside him. They met nearly 70 years ago and were the love of each other's lives. Really raw pain here but with no unfinished business - everything between me and my dad had been mended and we both knew how deeply we appreciated and loved each other. Crying buckets but still coping ok and supporting my mum in the middle of all of this... and so life goes on...

So sorry to see this Broomstick.
Be very very proud of how well you did and are doing .

Frith

I am very sorry to hear that, Broomstick. 70 years - what a long time. I'm glad that you have been able to be with them so much. I am thinking of you and your mum.

Pleasures for today (Thursday).


1) A lie in!


2) Car MOT repairs went into their second day (thanks to Renault and their supremely weird and complicated electric handbrakes...) I continued to drive around in the garage's little car.


3) Hens OK.


4) Tasty tea of burgers then I made Belgian buns for the England match.


5) My brother came round to watch the match and England won 3-0.

Lainey, It'll be a loose bulb, at some point it will show itself.


For er yesterday now.

1 I always feel antsy when we spend money, today is no exception, we re visited the kitchen appliances as the design just has us spending random money on in house names, so we went out and found an oven that for the first time I can say I really like, and then I read not just one but numerous reviews of the Samsung model that said don’t do it. So it’s over to Neff.

2 We popped over the bridge specifically for a couple of C0stco offers snaffled, picked up a lot of boxes for packing away the current kitchen.

3 Picked up some half price clothes I already had my eye on now 6 for the trousers and 3 for the top, not bad haven’t purchased anything full price so far.

4 Its gone midnight and we’ve just had a doughnut – will never be thin.:rotfl:
