Our local NatWest plays hideous music, really loudly. I really hate going in there, but had promised to pay some money into my son's account.
I was dreading it - but I opened the door and ...silence. I was so excited that for once it was just like a Bank and not Primani!
It made my day.

My twin grandchildren hiding in the toilet this afternoon as they did not want to go home after having spent a week here. The thing is they wil be back tomorrow evening as DD works on Tuesdays.

I've just been sent a moving e-card for New Year! Pretty, tacky and very cheering.

Happy anniversary, BBbevan and many more to follow! The thing that has made me happiest today has been bidding a not very fond farewell for another year to a seven foot Christmas tree that has blocked all the light out of our living room since it went up! DH's impulse buy! I am now sitting here, looking at the view again. Next year he had better have a strategy or he and said tree will end up outside!

todays highlight was DH offering to cook lunch [doesn't happen often] whilst I sat back with a sherry and listened to music. smile

I've had an unexpectedly fabulous day. Got up late ( that's always a bonus for a bad sleeper) went into town bought my husband a jacket he's been longing for for the last three years £200 then just by chance looked in a jewellers and admired an eternity ring. My size just what I have been looking for for 20+ years £500. On my finger as we speak... result! smile had a lovely lunch in restaurant with wine. Visited son and family, welcomed with kisses and cup of tea. Perfect perfect day the best I've had for years.

I had a lovely chat with my SIL. We don't chat a lot so it was a nice surprise.

taking a lovely long walk in the cold crisp sunshine today, then coming home to a hot cuppa, the newspaper and sitting in the lounge to watch a film and having a Nana Nap!!!!

After experiencing some sort of RSI type pains in my arms in 2015 and not really been able to knit in in the last part of that year, I have just started knitting a hat with not too many problems. I had accupuncture early last year which really helped. I am taking it very carefully at present but I do feel more hopeful.
Some of this problem seems to be in the mind and I have to conciously control the tensing up.

Getting interesting letters about family history from a distant cousin in the US!
