Little things that have made you happy today

Yesterday went to Golf Club Christmas Lunch with 6 friends -lots of laughter and Christmas singing, together with an excellent lunch.

Today we put our tree up and very nice it looks too, if I say so myself. We have had it for years and I keep thinking we should get a more modern one but my DGD says it is comforting so it is staying

I've just heard that DD2 has won an American short story competition! She is now an award winning published author. I'm so pleased for her and proud.

Cleaned the windows. All nice and sparkly for Christmas.

My sister in law spoke to me!

I'm so pleased for you kitty

I remembered to put out more food for the birds.

The lights in a big shopping centre. Just magical.

Seeing and hearing a small flock of twites on the seaweedy beach.

Just heard that a very poorly friend is now on the mend and may be home before Christmas.

This is a lovely thread pigglywiggly thank you for starting it.

At last got round to rearranging the board on my kitchen wall with some up to date photos of the family, they're not a bad looking bunch really! There are a few very old photos that I just can't bear to replace, though, particularly of our children when they were small. So many memories, where did those years go?

congratulations to your Daughter, Jud that is a great achievement

Kitty and Jud - good news.

Having tried every rescue centre within 100 miles I think I may finally have identified a dog that is suitable to buy and it's only 25 miles away. Now I'm just praying that no-one else nabs him before I get a chance to see him. He's a beautiful Springer/Collie cross.

Hope you like long walks Grannyactivist

Ga, glad you've found a dog - that sounds like a really lively combination.

That after a 9 months absence I am well enough physically to return to my Keep Fit classes. Knees bend, arms out, touch your toes.

Finally persuaded the OG to make address labels, so much easier than scrabbling thro' a variety of address books, Christmas cards all sent now.... yippee!

DD has invited me to go and watch the final of Strictly with her and DGD on Saturday. Very happy!

The beautiful view from the window this morning - odd bit of snow on mountain peaks, trees, blue sky, interesting cloud formations. I love it!

The cloud formation was fantastic this morning. A completely white bank stretching half way up and from one horizon to the other. Wonder what change in the weather is coming. North Scotland

nelliemoser just noticed your comment....no, I didn't really care how long the
Choccy buttons had been there probably a month or so, stashed there by DGS but chocolate keeps for ages, even with a white bloom on it, still edible!

Most days have something good in them don't they?
Today, the electrician came to fix the annoying and loud buzz that our shower extractor fan had developed ( loose casing up in the loft) and now all is quiet.Since the fan comes on when the light comes on, in the middle of the night it sounded like a horde of angry wasps.

Well rosesarered I'm very glad you got that fan fixed before we all came to your Christmas Party (different thread) - it might have kept me awake

Thanks Shanma and Grannyactivist, we are so pleased for DD. She went through a bit of a bad time a few years ago and this is a great boost for her.
