Yesterday while in the front garden, 2 young lads walked past. One was about 11 and the other about 9. They had a dog on a lead and were carrying a football and some golf clubs, looked like they'd been to the park. Further down the road the dog went on the verge and did a poo. My first thought was that they'd just walk on, whilst an older person would probably clear it up. But the older lad took a plastic bag out of his pocket and spent quite a while cleaning up the mess. Now there was no-one around and it would have been so easy to leave it. It cheered me up to think that they were doing it because it was the right thing to do and not because they had to. Just a little thing, but it did make me smile.
Such a cutie soop
Lovely photos, soop!
Morning all, have just uploaded new images 3 - 6 of wee man. On opening emails, these plastered a huge 
on my face. T's mummy is a textile/ceramics designer. My yen was to go to art school to learn dress design [father said no.] I'm beginning to wonder whether wee man will realise my dream. Sad that I shall never know. 
Greatnan Anno Jura Lovely to hear of your happy day spent together.
!
your right marelli, tasty and delicious low calorie home made soup, but what is making me smile is the very large fresh cream strawberry scone i,m devouring for afters
Ah, but so much nicer and more nutritious when it's home-made, matson! - and it's not very expensive for a great big container of soup to be cooked in a slow cooker, anyway!
Thanks all - yes, nellie, we can compare notes!
Ana I'm thrilled for you. Congrats. 
Well done Anagram.
Yes, but you could tell him what to do with it number - in more ways than one! 
Love the photo of the wee lad, by the way - he looks so proud of himself!
Oh Anagram....my Other 'arf would love one of those! Well done!
The news that I've just won a Hoover Globe! Never thought I'd get so excited about the prospect of doing (yet more) housework!
Ella you will find a way of seeing her at other times, but I know what you mean. I used to collect my grandson early from the nursery a couple of times a week, and mind him till one of the parents arrived. They are exhausting aren't they? Polly and Alice want to jump up and down the whole time, and keep clapping their hands for nursery rhyme repeats. 'Row, row your boat' starts to lose its attraction after the 50th time!
when I'm dreading her going to nursery in a couple of weeks when her mum has to return to work!
I won't get to see her half as much 
She (dgd) needs so much stimulation though, it will be good for her in that respect. There's no way I could keep up with her, I'm shattered now!
