What's good in your world....?

Thanks nanej!

Enjoy butternut

What's good?
Littlest fella will be 2 on Saturday - although he has been practising being a terrible 2 for a couple of months already.
What else is good?
Well, I have been retired now for 18 months and my old school is being OFSTEDed tomorrow!

absent I played lacrosse also!

butter your excitement comes across it will be fantastic, enjoy

So good to hear of everyone's happiness. (sunshine) Here's what's good in my world.....
...
Counting the days until my eldest son flies in with his family for my youngest son's wedding. Three weeks to go! He hasn't been here for 8 years - so it's going to be very special. It'll be the first time my grandchildren have ever visited, and just the thought of them racing around the garden is marvellous.
What a time we'll all have.

grannya so pleased everything has worked out happily. Another happy family in the making

Welcome dottie.

We've just confirmed the final details for my daughter's wedding and she is so happy it does my heart good. She's getting some lovely in-laws who are very supportive and I love the fact that my little grandson is gaining another granny and step-granny. (He'd better continue to mind his manners though - they're both Primary School Headteachers!!)

Golden Good for you

Absoluty everything , can"t think of anything that is not good , lucky, lucky me [smile smile]

greatnan Two others for the freezer – just Sunday's supper.

Only the pie, not the dish. (I had to play lacrosse for years at school.) Hottish – the filling was warm and the potato freshly mashed but it hadn't yet been in the oven. I chucked it over my shoulder where he was standing (lurking) being tiresome but didn't aim it directly at him. It didn't do his shirt or jersey any good and I also had to wash my top and scarf. We had mashed potato gate not long ago and now we have shepherd's pie gate – this will hugely entertain absent daughter and absent son-in-law.

No one was injured in the making of this nonsense. (Btw. We shall have a proper supper tonight. He can sleep in the matrimonial bed again tonight.)

absent - I am shocked! How could you waste such a lovely meal?
My mother used to throw things at my brother but he was too quick for her usually. One day she was about to throw a plate of potato hash, but realised we were short of plates, so she just scooped up the hash in her hand and threw that at him. My older sister used to give mum shoes to throw at him!

Welcome dotty to the wonderful world of Gransnet
Annika to you

absent I hope you didn't damage anything? (evil)

A sunny break in the black clouds long enough for me to mow both front and back lawns.. yippee!!! I didn't think that was going to happen today..

I have bright new pots and lavender plants to go in them, I am going to make the bees very happy by placing them all round my patio.
On Saturday I am going to have lunch with my DS,DIL and GC to celebrate my birthday. On Tuesday we are going to drive to Kent and on Wednesday we will go through the tunnel and drive to Brussels to stay with DD and SIL.
Life is good and if the powers that be can manage a little that will be even better.

What is good? - we have just spent the morning with our dear 3 year old GS (and he's coming again tomorrow - even better!). He is at the most delightful age - a very articulate wee lad who wants to discuss absolutely everything in minute detail - he is also so affectionate, humourous and warm in every way - he is a complete delight and we are so lucky to see so much of him. He has just got into imaginary friends and has a dinosaur friend who lives in his pocket. Being with him is to be given the opportunity to see the world afresh - what a delight!

What else is good? - the wonderful view from our home, which lifts our spirits every day, rain or shine; and the warm and supportive messages from gransnetters on another thread where I spoke of my husband's Parkinson's disease. Thank you for all that.

soop read your post just as I was struggling with what was good in my world! So have now kicked myself, pulled myself together and here it is. Lovely house, adorable husband, great children and Grandchildren and good health. Aren't I lucky WE'll forget the rest, that too will pass! soop

My oh soon learnt that if he stood still he was safe!

soop - eugh!

Took large bite of apple. It is rotten to the core. Lesson learned...take the good with the bad, and count your blessings.

AlisonMA Goodness me, you do have a lot to be happy about.
In my world, I'm happy to have a loving husband and a decent family. I live in a small, cosy home beside the sea, close to a wee village of delightful, friendly people. Four feral cats, a family of Sika deer and countless birds make daily visits to our garden beside the wild wood. I am enjoying a crusty chicken roll and an apple for lunch. My new hip is doing well. I can walk a fair distance using one crutch. And I'm blest with you lot on GN.

jingl I've sent cushions hurtling into outer space during moments. I also slammed the phone down with such force [at work] that it broke into several components and was deemed beyond repair.

Alison what a lovely post. The sun really is shining on you at the moment.

Well, at him.

I've thrown a few plates in the past. Not at him though.

How nice to read all these lovely things when all we often hear is grumbles! This couldn't have come at a better time for me as I am going through a really wonderful patch. Thursday evening spent at the premiere of my youngest son's new ballet with the eldest son and DH, it was a great success. Friday met middle son and wife at airport and went to see the ballet again. In the evening saw great production of King and I then met up with friends and family and went for a balti. Got home just before 2 am. Saturday spent with son and wife doing all the great things Malvern had put on for the BH and then in the evening joined by youngest son and fiancee for dinner at home with champagne to celebrate his success. Sat round the table chatting all evening. Sunday spent with son and wife and then took them to the airport.

Looking forward to visiting Truro on Saturday for more ballet and Eden Project on sunday. GS's birthday in Wimbledon next week then off to Amsterdam to help middle son and wife with their new house. Canada with youngest son and fiancee in the summer - so much to look forward to.

All this with my DH of 44 years. We have good health, a nice garden and great friends and family.

Life is good for us and I'm happy that it is good for you too.
