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.

Been snowing heavily, and there was the greater spotted woodpecker- on the birdhouse. Not seen him once yet this year- hurrah

Lovely news Lona and KatyK.

I smiled today because I can now tell people that DD3 is expecting her first baby in Feb. next year.

Lovely news, Lona. Such good progress should be celebrated wine

That's great, lona. So pleased for you, and him.

Keeping up with grandson and DD on station platform today, dropped my latte (saved DD's). Got them established on their homeward train and went back to get myself another coffee. The barista recognised me from a few minutes before and made me another free of charge. Thanks, Starbucks smile

Oh that is good news Lona. I do hope his progress continues and then he may be able to leave off the injections.

KatyK Wed 12-Aug-15 15:58:29

Good news Lona, that made me smile.smile

I've been smiling non stop since Monday, when, at the eye hospital we were told that my son's sight has improved by an amazing amount!
Last year I was afraid that he would lose nearly all his sight, but not any more!
It was so nice to get good news for a change.

I smiled no stop for 3 days- as the musicians we hosted turned out to be fabulous people as well as magical musicians- and last night was wonderful- at 3am, only 15 people were left - all talented musicians, a cello, 2 guitars, several HANGS, a didgeridoo, a lyre, an accordion, a piano, a mouth organ, a couple of singers and a poet- and shooting stars in the sky - wow.

I smiled today as I picked enough home grown runner beans for our dinner tonight.

I smiled today listening to the cricket! Come on England (and Wales).

when my autistic DGS called after us as we were leaving "I won't forget you". As we see him almost every other day , he would have a job to.

granjura Fri 07-Aug-15 16:03:25

when I heard this strong and loud tapping outside- and saw it was the nuthatch- going berserk tapping on the roof of the bird house- because there were no sunflower seeds left. Cheeky thing!

KatyK Wed 05-Aug-15 10:35:51

Thanks everyone. I'll stop hogging this thread now! smile

annodomini Tue 04-Aug-15 20:02:53

I'm smiling for you, KatyK. What excellent news.

Luckygirl Tue 04-Aug-15 18:51:10

Good news indeed KatyK - I am so pleased for you both.

Lona Tue 04-Aug-15 18:41:43

KatyK flowers

KatyK Tue 04-Aug-15 18:33:12

We will thank you.

annsixty Tue 04-Aug-15 18:20:19

An excuse for a celebration KatyK.Go for it.

granjura Tue 04-Aug-15 17:55:58

wonderful news for you both, pheew.

I smiled to day when I read John Howe, the famous Canadian illustator for all the Tolkien film adaptations, Canadian but who lives near me, that he used my favourite wild dale as inspiration for his drawings. GS will be tickled pink when he hears that.

KatyK Tue 04-Aug-15 17:55:11

Thank you Bellanonna. We are SO happy but we do realise that cancer is unpredictable so not being complacent, just grateful and making the most of what we have.
