What's put a smile on your face today?

That's good, Zengran! Hope you're keeping well? I'm smiling today because one of my friends has asked me to go to the ballet (Swan Lake) with her in November at our local theatre. She's been given a pair of tickets by her husband for her birthday, so she could take a pal with her.
Also, there is another frog in our tiny pond....now we have rather a large one and a wee one, both peering out of the water!

Ella...that big wet kiss and her scent in your nostrils...wonderful!

All these posts have made me smile today!

Aren't they just adorable at this age Ella?

when double

I'm still smiling after having my dgd (11 months) with me since 8.30 am. We've had a lovely day playing and now she's gone, leaving me with a big wet kiss and her scent in my nostrils

My litte grandaughters, 10 1/2 months old, have been introduced to my dog today. It was a great success. We did have to get their socks back off her, as she snaffled them when we put them on the coffee table, and she managed one quick slurp along Alice's leg when she saw an opportunity. The babies sqealed with delight each time she ventured near. Two more little friends to play with when they get bigger.

soop - I can still feel in my mind my Freddie's silky black fur. It always had such a warm feel to it on a day like today. I suppose the black of it attracted the heat. He didn't mind though. He loved the sun.

Sigh!

kitty...love M.M. And yes, your Hattie's greeting was special.

That is all good to hear soop

Last night Michael McIntyre did make me smile well, actually, guffaw

Today I picked Hattie, aged, nearly 4, up from nursery for the first time since the holidays ended. She squealed and said ' I've missed you, Ma'. That gave me a great big

melp1 I can picture the scene.
Thank you for your many lovely comments about our wee man. It does us good to hear how happy he is, in spite of his mummy and daddy being separated. Ever since the big change in his home-life routine, mummy and daddy have pulled together, for wee man's sake. I admire our daughter-in-law for her strength of character. She is such a super girl. LittleNellie ...mummy cut his hair. Yes, for a child of just two and a half, he does seem, in his own words, "all growed up"...
Jings Funny that you you should say that Rory reminds you of your adopted cat. When we lived in Cornwall, we had a beautiful black tom called Hamish. He died before we left for Scotland. On a cold winter day [snow on the ground] a skinny black cat, much like Hamie, wandered through our back garden. The sight of him made me go all misty. Anyway, he kept returning - and the rest is history. We love him to bits.

Watching my grandaughter (aged 7) training our 2 year old weimaraner to go through her legs as she'd seen Pudsey do on TV.
She's quite small and our dog is very large, but she managed to get Daisy to do it and they both looked so pleased.

Soopdosent wee man look grown up with his hair cut,could eat himxx

soop welcome back, and your photo of the wee man is scrumptious.

Seeing the photo DS3 had uploaded to FB of DH and GS1 'racing' down our garden at the weekend.

soop your adopted cat is the spitting image of my wild black cat that I took in forty-odd years ago! It's uncanny. Could be a reincarnation.

Little fellar is very sweet.

Seeing my mate soop return

Glad to see you back soop

This afternoon I got home earlier than expected so took a cup of tea, a piece of banana cake and the crossword into the garden. The garden was alive with insects and butterflies (well 4 ) flitting and buzzing from plant to plant so I watched the garden rather than doing the crossword.

Tonight we are going to see Michael MacIntyre (sp?) so I expect that will put a smile on my face too.

Today is a good day. for everyone.

soop He made me smile too

Had 86 emails to wade through on being reconnected to the net. One was a photo of our wee man wearing his new pyjamas. I've uploaded it for you to see. Apparently he was so chuffed with them, he wanted to wear them for nursery school! He's also had a hair cut. Will be seeing him soon.

harri It seemed like a mini lifetime

Welcome back soop that has been a long week

Marelli and Ella...my days have been spent doing a hundred odd jobs around the house. As soon as the nice young phone engineer said..."That's sorted!" I knew that lovely GN was a must. Down with the duster. Off with the pinny. Bye to the kitchen sink. And, yes, absence really does make the heart grow fonder...

Now we've got another one on the "active list: Today I've been… followed immediately by Booing at the Paralympics.

The fact that on the "active" list this was directly above Fat Welsh men & women. When I've posted this, of course it wont be.
