Little things that have made you happy today

Knowing that GS is better, full of beans and back at school, and that he has had a happy day.

Wow!!! My cousin used to work for the IMF and his wife was an interpreter at the UN. Both retired now though.

A picture of my Dgd2(age 4) accompanying her mother to work at the UN today as the nanny was ill and chatting with the new S ecretary General, a very grandfatherly man. DD just sent it on WhapsApp.

Dd1 asking if we'd like to go away on a family weekend at Easter and a friend who collected eon her car who had put the heated seat on so it would already be warm for me.

Eating Victoria sponge sandwich in a caf. That, and a decent cup of coffee, for only 3 quid. That is about as good as my day got. #notbad

Just back from having a pedicure and walking on air!

Watching the blue tits on my Christmas tree in the garden that i have covered with fat balls. They also were investigating the bird box buried in my clematis. A cheeky robin was on the bird table, i love watching which birds are regular visitors. We have a magpie, doves, blackbird, both male and female and pigeons and a family of sparrows live in our covered archway!!!

Accompanied DGD yesterday to a 4-year-old's birthday party.

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

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.

A bright sunny winters day, a cheerful hairdresser being funny whilst I had a (rare) wash n blow dry. Reading the paper whilst cared for relative had a long nap, with bright sunshine still coming through the windows.

Well done*BBbevan*

Exactly !!! Me too Carerof123

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!!!!

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

I was a child brideshysal ?

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! 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.

Happy anniversary BBbevan. You don't sound old enough to have been married that long, you seem to have a youthful outlook on life!
Congratulations to Gracie too, you have years of fun ahead!

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

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!

Thank you annsixty and Greyduster she fills me with joy already, I could burst!
Congratulations BBbevan enjoy your nice quiet day together, they're the best!
