how about a new and happy thread, for the good bits in our lives.

So today I smiled because the first redstarts appeared in the garden and a gaggle fo noisy fieldfares.

What a good idea! I smiled today because my son sent some lovely pictures of the grandkids watching King penguins in The Falklands.

So on my lunch time walk a couple of horses wearing nice horsey rugs rolling in a very wet and muddy patch of their field they were having a lovely time..

Blimey tanith 'ow far did you walk to see horses rolling in the mud? Don't you live at Ealing Broadway? shock

maybe you'd eaten a lot of chocolates

Today I smiled when I came to work and found that DH and everyone was out on site which means I can play on the internet. If only the stupid phone would stop ringing grin

No Riverwalk not Ealing Broadway, I live in Northolt near the Aerodrome and the A40 we have fields and farmland very close by lots of horses, some cows and sheep. There is a riding school and shooting range on the land. Its actually quite rural and I love to walk where I can see the animals and green fields.

I wish I'd eaten a lot of chocolate that would of made me smile grin

So you're a rural West-Londoner then - there was I thinking you were super-fit!

I'm smiling because DS has just rung me from the States, having been alerted by Facebook that yesterday was Mothering Sunday grin

What a lovely idea granjura!

Today I smiled because I went to the pub at the top of the road for lunch with three old friends. smile

Gagagran Mon 16-Mar-15 15:07:43

I'm smiling too because 19 of us in my WI lunch club have just had a lovely lunch in a quirky pub with lots of chat and laughter. AND I had a glass of wine AND a starter and a main AND a pud. AND I don't feel guilty! (Just full) grin

I smiled today just reading all the smiley notes, thank you. I also smiled at the shop assistants who are always so nice to me.

I smiled today because I received an email containing a wedding invitation to my cousin's beach wedding in Kenya at Christmas. I won't be able to go, but I am very happy for them both. smile

I'm smiling (inanely) after Yoga Nidra - if you look up you may see me floating by smile

I smiled today when I opened the Council Tax bill and found it had gone down by a pound- unexpected.smile

I smiled when my D's came with a belated card for Mothers day, telling me how much he loved and appreciated me. smile

I smiled today when my S dropped off my youngest GC who is just 4 for an hour while he took the next youngest to school.He chatted non stop and lightened up the day for me.

I smiled today because my pot of hyacinths bloomed and the whole house is full of the most gorgeous smell.

Katek Mon 16-Mar-15 17:10:29

I also smiled today because there were no odd socks left over after I'd done the washing.

Teetime reminded me that I also smiled when my friend told us that as she will be 80 soon she will be able to treat us to lunch when she gets her extra 25p per week! We estimated that if she saves it all up she should have enough by 2025!

I smiled when at the post office sending a story book that makes lots of noise and an M & S egg cup with a little choccy egg in it...... off to west coast USA to my 18 month dgs for Easter.

I'll also smile later when I see ds and dgs on Skype tonight.

(Smile slipped a little when PO asked for £11 postage.

I smiled when I woke up (quite late) and remembered that I had nothing in particular to do today, and saw it was a beautiful, bright day smile

I smiled a few minutes ago when it was 6 o'clock and it was time for my evening drink, tonight advocaat.

I smiled today when darling Gracie bounded towards me after her weekend stay at kennels!

I smiled today because it is my DH's birthday and he had a wonderful card from our DGD. He had cancer last year and has been through the mill, but all is well at the moment. DGD's card had 'Grandad you are my super hero' printed on the front. Inside she had written 'granddad you are an inspiration to me in the way you have been throughout your treatment. You have been positive and still kept making me laugh. I'm so glad you are my grandad. If I had another grandad I would tell him to go away and come and find you.' She is 14 smile
