5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

Art'noon - and what a lovely one it is.

MrsLW - as someone who only really likes summer, I am clinging on with all my might to the fact that autumn is still weeks off

Pleasures for the last whenever.

1. Went to see dad, he is ok. Had a lovely walk by the blue sea (the N. sea is usually grey so this felt a treat)
2. Drove to dads, then round to DD's (7 miles by sea - about 60 by land) and then from DDs home ALL BY MYSELF! :T This is a pleasure not cos i could drive it by myself, but that i was by myself. This does not happen much in a car and i could sing as loud as i wanted and what i wanted with no one to object :rotfl:
3. The great flat clearance has occurred. Not a pleasure in terms of stuff that's come into our house, but a pleasure that a put-off job is done. and the main thing is that DD seems totally ok with moving away. It's a little sad that we now have no reason to ever go to Southend again, but only cos it's an era finished, not cos Southend is wonderful
4. A much needed curry and beer when we got back last night.
5. Watched all outstanding who do you think you are's on Friday.

have a lovely afternoon in this lovely weather.

Hello, Shirlad62.

Pleasures for today (Sunday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Hens well. We cleaned out their sleeping area then cleaned out the little shed on the allotment.

3) Tomato soup for lunch, always popular.

4) Cleaned the turtles out, did washing, steamed the floors etc.

5) My school friend came round bringing a board game for us to try plus various components of our tea!

6) Watched a bat outside - very muggy this evening.

Tried to post hier soir but tinternet obliged not. Sameoldsameold.

Shirlad62 :-) special Welcomes to old-style pleasures and for making them your 1st post:-)

1. Just on a kg of blackberries picked here, too:-) from back field after church. Surprised that arm's still stinging after nettles.

2. Lovely weather. Long may it last, & being of vjm's persuasion. So often, BHs in this country mean rain.

3. Nobly stuck at tedious grating of 10 frozen lemons (and not many knuckles) for lemon curd. 4 x 1lb jars greet me this morning :-). Yum!

4. Raspberries are really crowding in now. Hope neighbour will enjoy picking them in &absence. Watering daily. New planting seems to be surviving.

5. More congratulations, this time at Church and town of horse Emporium (J. played at decent rep. level, Lainey) re: &'s double rugby glory. Perfect company in The Alma, with 3 ( impossibly young) archaeology PhDs, Frith. Astonishing pics of most recent Mycenaean dig+uncoverings, inc. site scorpions.

Kk- good tidings on all fronts. Happiness is contagious and yours is well deserved - work and ��.). We remember the misery some mentors actively caused you in your pgce year. You have done so much to change your life positively. Losing your loved house back then, too.

Mhags - ?s came into our poem too. H had 'lost' his black work book, so "Where is H's big black book?/ Where did he last see it?/ Is it in his bed? / Is it on his head? Don't be silly, &! / Let's read " Fox in Socks" instead." Previous week's was on H's leftover birthday cake. Parents are most worried about reading and writing, so these little exercises work well AND H is so proud to show and read them aloud, with great expression. It really does seem true that all 3 children look forward to our Fridays. £20 for 4 hours(and the rest) covers petrol and little else, but it's important. Away for 3 from next wk anyway.

Caryl Churchill's "Unman, Wittering and Zigo" on r4x, brilliantly done, if difficult listen. Remember the 1960s furore surrounding it all those years ago.
