5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Shropshirelass

Last 24 hours:

Clear sky here so stars last night and sunshine this morning, a bit chilly though
Got all the insurance renewals sorted, what a job, pet, car, house, all filed away and recorded. Now we can relax for a year. Why can't we get a proper discount for using one insurance company?
Doggie being very sweet and behaving well for OH, who is taking her for walkies while I have lurgy. I wonder how long she will keep it up before taking advantage? They are using twice as many treats as usual.
Best thought - we're almost through January, the longest and most depressing month.
Comfort food: Apple and berry crumble and custard for supper last night.

Good morning all, pleasures for yesterday....

Made butter chicken curry from scratch from my new book (Mowgli) ready for later

Washload done as not at work today

Went for final physio appointment - now discharged. Super happy as parking at the hospital is horrendous and while I appreciate the effort that they physio team put in, it's a relief not to have to try and get to the appointments any more.

Time spent with best friend after lunch - coffee, jaffa cakes and Dr Who. Real life time, not online

Cammomile tea before bed. I think it worked too as I slept very well.

1. Left Doreen Lawrence conversation leaflet in Church and had some quiet time before debadgering at College Salon. So much better and silly OAP vanity & feels much more like self :-).

2. Stunning low crescent moon+star-like Venus, brilliant bright last night.

3. &'s latest dozen teatowel haul for rugby club - ex Emmaüs Cambridge - dry, ironed, dropped off as 1st XV squad began training :-)

4. Trumpington emporium: 2 special-looking rtc primroses, 2 rtc basils, very rtc lamb, 5x 2for£1 offer, then till glitch meant - surely? - that & owed more. At desk, took ages, but & was correct, 39p owed. However, staff/mgr said &'s honesty meant £1.48 refund somehow. Don't ask me. Free cappu appreciated, too.

5. Getting on, sort of, with Alexander McCall Smith's 'Friends, Lovers, Chocolate'. Generally take to philosophical leaning writing, but several starts on this.

Never In hurry to return to unchanged asb situ. Sure enough, nothing done still plus & being doubly filmed. Couldn't get through to report, so will after this.
Tempted to leave for Yurp/Calais Friday even earlier. Certainly glad I won't be in ukland
.....and right now, worrying for Rafa.

Good sort of news for elder son, Frith. Deffo. good duvet news with younger son :-)
#
Strength to all when and where needed.

PM2DD Take that, wes aboved the Scoonts. Now I cannot wait until he swans off from the old showground! Happy days, oh and I was intrigued as the Luton scores came inn as well. Happy Days.

For those who not follow footie like BoP, the chairman of the Scoonts, S C U N T H O R P E (Spill cheater does not like that place either!) did a runner on Gainsboro Trinity! Not long until he ….

No more sales inn Norwich!

Nows onto the version of BoP’s life according to the parish!

Was trimming inn the gym yesterday, before supper of sliced pork pie and some cheese. As the footie was on, wobbleades were drinked.

Tonite BoP is preparing for the big Tuesday coming up and will be showing off his tossing skills on the stove. It is pancakes for supper. Home made and not the seventy day old stuff found inn the emporiums! BoP will put his 3oz plain flour, one medium egg and 5 fl oz of milk, full fat, inn to a dish and whisk up to a paste. Then ladled into a hot pan and given a decent flip withs me wrist! I am well versed in this and I do not splatter! Tossed on with some strawbs. Rite tasty and good for you.

PM2DfV Full fat milk and lard! Proper fat! Of curse, suet is useful inn dumplings and the spotted ricardo!

Nows as I murmured I was inn the gym and I keep beach ready, yet I has the full fat milk and lard. How come I am so beach ready? Well yous lot goes for the emulsions? Emulsions are for walls and not your arteries. Got it? Nows ifs yous not believe the BoP, look on the back of the packet of crisps and ask why there is sugar in the cheese and onion!
Usual lunch box, but too cheese and free proper chocolate digestives!

That is your lot for lunch bites today.
Spice is the essence of life!

A day for me. Just me. Usually a work day but shifts changed this week.

Hurrah!

Up and about with doggy early but another night of sleep. What’s going on?
Potter potter.

Texts from friend in Australia.

Quick doggy walk. Hurry up and do your business doggy it’s wet and windy!

Went out to local castle for breakfast which was DD2 treat. Not nearly as nice as last time. We were both a bit disappointed.

Texts back and forth with DD1.

Home...and that’s where I’ve stayed since. Glad I was reasonably tidy.

Snoozette.

Started another library book.

I’ve made stuffed peppers for tea. Sooner this vegetarian challenge is over the better I say! Made a coleslaw and will serve with spinach leaves.

The smell of daffodils and hyacinths make me happy. Though it’s been a day of much rain and cold the days are starting to stretch and in just 8 weeks it will be well and truly spring!

As always the company of my dog has been a pleasure. I miss him when I’m at work! Work clothes are sat out for the morning and bag packed. I can do it!

Right, let's find some pleasures for today.

Work was not as bad as last week.
The nice man who helped empty my car at the tip.

Pleasures for today:
Lurgy feels a little better (I think Night Nurse helped me get a few hours sleep last night)
Wander around the big DIY shop to think about new flooring
Wander through the market to keep out of the dust and mess that is the kitchen/dining room refurb
Managed to cobble together a reasonable dinner despite lack of kitchen facilities!

Fingers crossed for a decent sleep for us all

I wrote this pleasure yesterday and then there were massive complications so I am writing this today instead so 1 – 10 our oldest animal is with us, and touch wood, recovering, it’s too early to commit but he’s with us and getting there.

We dropped him in early yesterday, but the drive home was with a very heavy heart, as it was really not looking very good.

We received a phone call about 1pm, basically telling us that they have had to remove all his teeth, and even allowing for it being a big op, it was bigger than that for other reasons.

Rang back around 3pm, to be told that he had not come round from the anaesthetic. We were told to call back at 5:30, but expect the worst. So the next few hours were spent well crying quite frankly.

Called back at 5:30, and the nurse went to check on him, and he was responding... sort of... He was moving his head, and grunting. He had had an upset tummy all over the bedding, so she got him out to clean him up, and he then kindly wee'd on her...

We drove over to pick him up, deciding he was better off here with his friends, where we could spend time feeding him as and when, so picked him up with a tonne of instructions, more pain killers and now some antibiotics to give him.

Got him home, put the carrier in the living room and opened the door, where his friends all piled in to see why he was getting special treatment, so he climbed out of the hammock, and went behind the sofa, where there is a duvet under the radiator.. His favourite spot.

After a couple of hours being fussed over by his cage mates, and the girls deciding to play nurses, he got up and demanded to go out in the garden, where we followed him around panicking as he stumbled and rolled all over the lawn, plus drank a load of water from the pond, before coming back to the French windows and demanding to be picked up and put back inside.

He then went back behind the sofa, and was immediately cuddled into a bundle by the girls.

Today the vets phoned us to see how he was, they were expecting the worst, but the sheer joy in their voices when I said I speak to them I have an eye on him as he demanded to go around the garden, he’s drinking for himself now, other things are improving. We desperately need him to eat more, today I am trying little and often while his gums heal, I am getting up through the night to make sure he eats a little every few hours for now also.

That’s a relief PK.

After a very difficult 48 hrs my pleasures are for our NHS community

District Nurses (x2 twice !) Pharmacist .GP ,physio ,hospice - he wasn’t fit to go today but they’ll just extend his sessions ,they even phoned to make sure things were under control again .

Washing machines ,it’s been working overtime

Dry sunny weather- the tumble drier has packed up under the strain but nature has got things dry enough to finish on radiators.

Supportive friends here and in RL .
