1.. Got the sutures taken out of my foot this morning... FREEEEEDOM!
2. Woohoo... my OH is getting me an Amazon Prime membership for my upcoming birthday!
3. Got 2 homechecks to do for the greyhound rescue this weekend.... how come everyone is getting hounds EXCEPT ME??? It's not fair.
4. We've got a pretty good busker outside today. I'm not crazy about his voice, but his choice of songs is really good.
5. My friend has just sprayed me with a perfume she got for £8 out of Primark that smells just like Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir!!! Got to go get some!
Suture removal is the greatest! I had surgery that involved a lot of stitches on my scalp 15 years ago, and the incision site hurt (a constant pulling/tugging sensation, with occasional twinges of pain) for the whole two weeks between the op and the suture removal. Such a relief. Yay for you!
I was ambivalent about Prime until we got it. Now I absolutely
love it. We got it last year during the reduced promo for the new "Top Gear"-like show, and this year we renewed it because we like it. Happy upcoming birthday!
No friend of mine would remain a friend if they sprayed me with perfume! But it worked out for you, so yay! And £8 is entirely reasonable, considering designer prices.
My five...
1. My husband comes home tonight!
2. We live for the weekend, and this is a bank holiday weekend! Bonus time!
3. Only 30 weeks 'til I can book my ILR appointment, which means only 36 weeks 'til I (hope) to apply for ILR (in person)!
4. I have booked in my LiUK test for 3-1/2 weeks from now (19 September), and I feel reasonably prepared. If I don't pass, I'll have plenty of time to throw another £50 at them before my ILR application. I need to better familiarize myself with famous people, the monarchs, and the patron saints. (Why is that even a thing?!)
5. Teatime noms for the long weekend will be our Friday night favourite of "Chick'n'fennel" (formerly Chick'n'chicory, but it's hard to get chicory where we live), Mexican platter, grilled chicken with grilled fruit and veg (including pineapple, tomatoes, broccoli, red pepper, corn on the cob, and potato slices), and some kind of braised/stewed beef dish... probably either bœuf bourguignon or chili, though I do still have the other half of a brisket in the freezer, so it could be just a pot roast.
