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.

I smiled because my cousin in Tasmania put on her FB page- which I just had to share

IF I WANTED TO BE CONTROLLED
I WOULD HAVE COME WITH A REMOTE

Wot? No one smiling today? hmm
I smiled for 10 minutes of Facetime-18 month old DGS in a very giggly mood, utterly infectious chortle about absolutely nothing, bless him!
He reminds me so much of his dad at that age grin

I smiled today because I had lunch with all three DDs after helping to choose DD3s wedding veil.

Smiled yesterday as I had to dash upstairs to the barn to open the little window, as the house martins had arrived and were fussing outside as the opening to their home was still closed!

And today as the garden is full of butterfles and I saw newts darting in the pond as I put the solar waterwall in. Spring has definitely sprung...

No fish in the pond to allow all the native wildlife like newts, frogs, toads and dragonflies to survive- gold fish and carp are totally un-ecological and will eat all native wildlife.

What a lovely picture you paint GranJ

It sounds idyllic granjura - and I'm so pleased you bumped this thread into the 'active' list, because I didn't know about it!

I smiled today because I found this thread smile

I smiled today because DBH has completed half of my new raised beds in the veg area. We don't have enough soil to fill all the ones he has yet to make, but it's lovely to be able to sow veg seeds at a good height, it's made life so much easier.

I smiled today when searching for flights to go see son and family I found one in my budget range , I rang them to clarify dates and my dil answered sounding very sleepy and said oh can we ring you back we're all having a siesta..blush trust me to ring at the wrong time... grin

I smiled today because DD2 and her family went home! I love them dearly but they had been here for 8 days! grin

granjura Sun 12-Apr-15 20:23:15

Pheeew... enjoy flowers

NanKate Sun 12-Apr-15 20:45:14

8 days Kitty that's a marathon, well done.

I smiled today when our 4 year old grandson wished us goodbye on FaceTime and added 'I love you very much' that kept us going all day. smile

Sounds a bit odd but I smiled today because my DD3 cried. She is getting married next Saturday and had been reading some lovely messages from friends.

I smiled today because DH has written his speech for the wedding and it is really very good.

I smiled today because my soon to be S-I-L gave me a hug and thanked me for all the work I had done towards their wedding.

I smiled to day because DH finally fixed the small leak from the shower head.

I smiled today when meeting my 8 week old great niece for the first time, she is lovely. I also smile to see my niece and her fiance who are obviously so much in love.
(Great niece belongs to my nephew and his partner).

Ceesnan Mon 13-Apr-15 14:05:49

I smiled today because DH has finally asked me to go with him for his next doctor's appointment. Now I can ask the questions that DH won't and will hopefully get some answers and a new treatment plan.

kittylester Mon 13-Apr-15 14:13:24

Good news Ceesnan.

I smiled today because our twice a year gardener came and made more difference in half a day than I would in two days, even if I had the time!

I smiled today because some of the village children are playing in the field behind my house - I love the sound of children laughing! (Although it is being slightly drowned out by the tree surgeons working on my neighbours tree!)

AshTree Mon 13-Apr-15 14:32:34

I smiled today because I was babysitting my two nephews while their mum and dad went to the dentist. The little one (22 months) always makes me smile, he's such a character!

ginny Mon 13-Apr-15 15:26:40

I smiled today because my 12 year old DGS gave me a hug and said 'Love you Nan'.

I smiled yesterday at the chaos that was my noisy family of 8 adults and 3 tots squashed together round my kitchen table for Sunday dinner. Actually, DS ate standing up at the work surface so the rest of us could breathe!

And I smiled today when DGS2 acted out throwing peas to the ducks this morning. According to him they all gulped them down. In actual fact most of the peas sank without trace and the ducks ignored the rest.

I smiled today because my daughter's dog was back to her normal happy self after having two teeth out yesterday. She was so sorry for herself last night, with sore gums which had been cut and stitched up sad

I smiled today when my troubled 17yr old grandson cycled over to visit of his own volition and ate two hot dogs I made him and some crisps . He hasn't been eating properly since his parents parted last year. I managed to worm out of him that he's put on some weight in the last few weeks so there is light at the end of the tunnel.

annsixty Sat 25-Apr-15 20:31:48

My 16yr old grandson is also troubled over his parent's separation last year tanith but he is overeating and piling weight on and as he also has an ongoing health problem it is a problem, However so pleased you had something to smile about and hope it continues.

tanith Sat 25-Apr-15 20:35:53

Thanks annsixty, I got his age wrong he isn't 17 till June.. I hope things work out better for your grandson too.
