5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

mhagster

Well good morning 😁 me and my girl and my dog have had a rather soggy, boggy walk through the field. Nice to be together and nice to have fresh air. Mallards flew up in front of us. No one else out at that time. 6.15am   

As a family we ‘boo’ each other. I’ve been boo-ed this morning and video-Ed! Thankfully I held on tight to my towel! 

Have a lovely day x

Glad your girlie is home, Mhags

Pleasures for yesterday
1. washing out at 6.30 and another load in and out.  Making the most of the warm sunshine to get through DS's stockpile
2. OH went out to the local shops, got more eggs and some fresh fruit and veg.  We're trying to stick to these shops with a click and collect every fortnight.  COoked a frittata for tea, to get through some of the eggs
3. DS had another therapy session - it seems to really suit him
4. Work, work work.  Lots of distractions but am getting some done.
5. went for a family (well, 3 of us, bike ride - beautiful day for it)  went around the country lanes but it turns out everyone is now a cyclist   (there were only about 10 others, well spaced out...)
6. Watched more of 'the english game' on Netflix

Have a good day all

Thursday pleasures + a forgotten one

The forgotten pleasure - shame on me  😳 - pack of 24 toilet rolls from Amazon 😁 

Another sunny & warm day as long as you are not in the wind or shade 😉 - DSis has done her washing which is out on the whirligig.

DH went shopping - the sm is doing 2 out, 2 in + the queues are spaced. He managed to find the last box of eggs 🥳 but still no pasta or tomato products 🙁

Nice chat with neighbour - 4m spacing. She is bored so was sweeping the road 😆 & the kids were kicking a ball about. We live in a close & so far no problems. 

My books have been delivered.

Frith

Pleasures for today (Thursday)
1) Not a bad sleep.
2) Much work done on the allotment with a rough bramble and nettle area turned into a new veg bed.
3) Spent a lot of time sitting in the garden.
4) Spoke to downhill neighbour - who (as sure as anyone can be) has had coronavirus! I thought I hadn't seen him for a while. 
5) DELIVERY from the local farm shop! Pricey, but necessary.
 6) Good to have a phone call with my school friend but also sad as a relation has gone onto EOL care. 
 7) In bed now and will watch TV for a while.

1 Deep cleaned the ferret cage a pleasure when it’s done, I keep working in the principle working on the idea of if we become ill the place needs to start off clean at least.

2 I was just about to set to making some bread, when I found what I thought was yeast was not, after a lot of searching it turns out we bought something by mistake a long time ago we thought was yeast, which is a bit disappointing at the moment, looked up substitutes but they just weren’t quite. So now we are trying to make our own ekk.

3 Abandoned my dinner plan as I didn’t fancy it, instead we have a bowl of cheesy spaghetti with ham and mixed veg, a sort of carbonara.

4 Touched base with MIL and an online friend nice to keep in contact.

5 I’ve hunted down two local affordable veg box deliveries tonight I feel quite proud of myself as a lot I was looking in to were unaffordable these ones work out at £20.

6 A good few people inc myself did the 8pm applause.

1. Spoke to some lovely people on the phone with phone cinsultations.
2. Social distancing at lunch time and on the bus.
3. Enjoyed my coffee on the bus. I was cold after the drive so it was much appreciated.
4. Spent time in garden after work as it was light enough.
5. The 8pm applause.

Think I missed a day but not sure as I no longer know what day it is anyway!!

For yesterday
1. Went out early to Marks for oap shopping time.  It's a food only store on an out of town shopping mall.  Car park was full at that end.  All along the pavement outside was a long, very long, queue of socially distanced people with trolleys.  I gave up !  Driving back I passed our local, not very big, Morries and saw the car park was nearly empty ( still only about8:45).
They had a distanced queue system marked out with nobody in it!  Went in and got everything I needed except plain flour. Result!
2. More gardening in the sunshine
3.Visit from DS.  Brief and at least 4 yards apart ( he's super cautious about infecting us! ) but good to see him.
4. He brought some fresh salmon, delivered from a local fishmonger.  Tonight's tea sorted.
5. Online virtual pub quiz.  We got a massive 19 out of 50. Still managed to beat DD and partner by 1 point and it was a fun way to spend an hour.

Happy misty Friday, everyone.  It is Friday, isn't it?

MIA for a few days so a round up of pleasures:
OH now working safely and not sharing a van - it was stressing me out as I am asthmatic. He works on the local country park and has to work to keep it safe
Sunshine ☀️
Builders did not turn up on Monday and I told them not to come back after the new guidance.  So my lovely new kitchen/dining room is not finished but all the appliances are working so I have spent a lot of time cleaning and putting things back.  Hopefully it will get finished when this is all over
All family and friends seem to be well. I have cold symptoms but think it is hay fever!
Spending time in the garden and also cooking some nice food
last nights applause was very moving especially as it was 3 years to the day that I survived an anaphylactic shock causing a cardiac arrest and 13 rounds of CPR whilst on the operating table!
keep well everyone 😊😘

Dundee was wet and chilly yesterday - put the heating back on at lunch time.

A towel is after all about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Wonder where we'll be on Towel Day? Be aware of falling petunias! For yesterday
1) Starting another book - finding after a couple of weeks of not I can now read again
2) Reading a ppt entitled: "A divided village: a narrative study using a theoretical lens of speculative ontology" - my colleague's paper she presented at this year's Archers conference looking at the experiences of the silent characters &. Will reread at 7:02 tonight (no visit to covid-19 free Ambridge tonight) She said her most memorable question from the floor was 'who did you interview' to which she replied 'all of them of course' oo it's let me add the file - see below
3) DD2 cooking a fry-up for supper nom nom
4) then I produced a strip of cadbury's each for pudding. The chocolate rationing made her laugh
5) the 8pm applause - wonderful
