5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

CRANKY40

Good afternoon, pleasures for yesterday..

I'm having a "put me first" week so I went running in the gym first thing.

Did food shopping quickly and everything that I needed was in stock.

Best friend rang me and asked it I'd take him shopping with me. I was happy to take him to do his shopping but glad I'd done mine beforehand.

Had a meeting at HT's school about lack of support in maths. I've been reassured that the problems will be sorted and told what a lovely boy the HT is. That was good to hear.

Home for a healthy dinner. Running always makes me concentrate more on eating properly and in the right proportions. I will be going running tomorrow morning too.


DfV hugs. I was thinking of you yesterday.

Hello.

It’s been the most beautiful day. After a very wet and wild night it’s been lovely. Big blue sky. Sunshine. Dry!

Washing out! Hurrah! Almost dry.

A day mostly at home. Potter. Potter.

Nice chat with DD1.

Bathrooms are clean ( again) , downstairs hoovered ( again) , floors washed (again)

Had my back massage . Very owsy!

Then quickly round to mums. Did her ironing and hoovered. (Again! )

Nice walk home. Still light but a beautiful sky. An almost buttock like cloud that made me smile

A mistle thrush singing beautifully in a tree and still going when I took the dog out for a quick walk.

Having steak pie for tea with leftover from 2 previous slow cooked meats, the never ending parsnips from pre Christmas and leftover from work roast potatoes and carrots and sprouts.

Big bright Venus in the sky.

It’s world cancer day. Three years ago we were just weeks from losing my husband. We knew we didn’t have long. But we were still making the most of the time we had left together. Please always be mindful of your health and if something doesn’t feel right get it checked out and if it still doesn’t feel right get it check again. Too many times I hear things are further down the line than they would have been when people first noticed something. Do not be fobbed off!

Have a lovely evening:)

Hear hear mhagster ! I have no idea how long my husband had that little lump in his chest, months at least, maybe even a year? By the time he got it checked out the cancer had already spread to his bones. There is a good chance he would still be here today and fairly fit and well if he'd done something sooner. Ignoring it does not make it go away.

For last 2 days

Progress on kitchen/dining room refurb but that means I have no oven or worktop!
Sturdy looking prop supporting the ceiling above the half demolished wall
Escaped the mess by going swimming, lunch out, supermarket shopping and round to a friends
Managed to cobble a dinner together of premade casserole pinged in the microwave and potatoes carrots and sprouts all cooked together on induction hob borrowed from sis in law
Caught up with Cold Feet on tv

My living room where cooking and everything else is happening looks a right mess!

hugs to all those affected by cancer
for today
1) left lunch in fridge (d'oh) but had bought emergency cuppa soups at the weekend. had mushroom with croutons
2) 2 buses (4 minutes, 2 minutes, due on the electronic board) evaporated before reaching the stop so caught the X7 thinking it was an express. went a rather convoluted route. so the pleasure is the mobile phone and my colleague making tea and chatting with my 2pm meeting till i arrived
3) lift home and had early supper of contents of lunch box. last of the hm bol. yummy
4) then 2 hours' housework. sure i did some last year :rotfl: over 5000 steps and clean kitchen / stairs and guest room for guest arriving thursday
5) then friend invited me out for a drink. her treat. and she asked me if i'd like to go to vienna and salzburg next June with her school trip. i'm pvg'd. would also be handy if i could renew my first aid certificate. very exciting (and i think very mse)

1) The first good night's sleep I have had in weeks.


2) Hens OK.


3) Went to floody city to see my school friend for a cup of tea.

1. Chat with neighbour first thing while putting bins out!

2. Work ok and worked with friend/colleague who caught bus with me so long chat with her.

3. A lovely patient seen. Had a long chat with her. It was the last appointment of the morning so no rush. Very interesting conversation and I learned things too.

4. Sorted out a pile of paperwork - tedious but it's done now which is the pleasure.

5. Talking with both sons,DH and DS2 girlfriend.

6. Phone still in one piece.

Put heating back on an hour or so ago, exposed bits of & feeling chilly.
Catching up reading here:-) Veteran ospers know & thanks fall off, even when replaced: it seems so again, hence sameoldsameold: Consider them as gorilla-glued on, please:-)

1. Less-frozen fingers can now hold book to finish Friends, Lovers, Chocolate and reasonably glad I've persisted. Will then rise, prob. not shine, but start Spits prep., despite the ongoing asb, now become the norm. The uplift in this sort of 'entitled'+ ignorance-enabled nastiness/intolerance/rising level nuisance is pervasive, happening because of brex-sh-it, up again since Friday..

2. How glad I was to be away from it all and on earlier ferry:-) to a simple, lovely, entirely French-speaking day.
By contrast, this monster: le dragon de Calais! Recommended:-)
https://www.lamachine.fr/en/spectacles/le-dragon-de-calais/ - from 2 months ago.
Saw him under his huge shelter, during big lighthouse/mole/quay/shore walking. And of course have shells, good stones, pics, film.

3. Slow mess/2 accidents+roadworks from Dover meant missing Club rugby to NOT miss Ipswich Regent ISIHAC. Wonderful, wonderful time. 3 kazoos!

4. VERY good candlemas service taken by one of our 2 graduands, then quick change to Aotearoa rugby vestments for France v. Albion in The Alma Happy, beaming along with & et les français were the Welsh, for sure. But it's always well-natured warm 'discussion' )))) - such is the rugby family. English thought team selection and lack of nous were obvious and poor. Village life - did you think so, too?

5. Big nasty incident on cs Monday, makes us very concerned for one of our regulars. Thinking of this and also surgery setback+delay for lovely young person....know to be grateful for even this ancient and benighted self+situation. Can still move about, exercise some choices, personal freedoms.
Similar chat with J. when dropping some Lots off for early auction yesterday.
Weimar Republic parallels....

Yes, as with others, every 1st of month for mhags and DfV.
Blessed be the final waving of the PhD wand, vjm.
Bop- lucky & aussi: 'Payment from 1857mBTC. We have just added £110938.09 to your account...' )))))
Never touched, bien sûr. It's over a million now:-)
Frith - every powerful wish for planning refusal.

All blessings for all with cares, 4-foots and 2-foots. Strength and hope are en route with Spring.

Why was 'antique' autoINcorrected to 'early'? Snarl- especially as the mse Edit option underneath does not work on mobile... unless bop/anyone can help overcome this? A very pretty Please :-)
