3 things to be cheerful about.

My DGC are back safely from Suffolk.
My DHs foot is definitely better.
I had a good time at the allotment Barbecue yesterday. Bought a new geranium.

Had an unexpected invitation to go to a beer festival with DS and family.
DS wants to buy late DH's car, which saves me the headache of trying to find a buyer.
My grand-daughters are coming today. Will take them to supermarket cafe for drinks and chocolate fudge cake!

Have enjoyed a wonderful holiday

Ate the best steak ever and I didn’t have to pay !

Being away from them for 3 weeks means I am sooooo looking forward to seeing our family in a few days !

Met up with 2 cousins I don’t see often
Had delicious lunch of seared Atlantic salmon in chimichurri sauce
Enjoyed fantastic weather in Sarasota

Just returned from 2 week trip in Europe visiting 2 sets of grandchildren in different countries, Fantastic weather. Enjoyed the wonderful weekend weather (apart from noisy neighbours)

Lunch with my children and DGD and I didn't have to cook.?
Complemented on being a lovely gran, by a stranger, who overheard me talking to DGD in a toilet cubicle ( We are toilet training) ?
Bumping into someone, I hadn't seen in years.

.

Beautiful weather again.

Started looking at a holiday in September.

1.Cut own hair and it looks better than when the hairdresser does it!
2. DH cooked a wonderful meal for us today.
3.Next doors fat ginger cat went to sleep in our catmint, it flattened it all but it looked so cute blissfully sleeping with one paw on it’s head and appeared to be smiling, that we left it alone.?

Eldest child

Youngest child

1. Watched dgs2 play in a football tournament and then be awarded the golden boot.

2. Did some gentle gardening - deadheading etc.

3. The Red Arrow flew over our house on their way home from performing in the next village.

Bought something beautiful from a craft fair.

Lunch in the sunshine..

Impromptu cup of tea and chat with friends.

My DHs foot is gradually getting better.
Picked some strawberries.
Lots of apples this year.

The sun shone.

Not realising how hot it was we set out on an overambitious long walk. Then, just as we were both flagging, bemoaning the fact there was nowhere to sit down and we were a long way from home, some friends of ours appeared in their car and we got a lift back home.

I have just been out for a row in our tiny boat.- just lovely as it's not so hot now.

Contracts have been exchanged and so the old house is definitely sold. Hurrah!

Just returned from a super day out on a vintage bus.

OH is treating me to a pub supper so no cooking tonight.

My second son got married yesterday (2nd time around) to a wonderful young lady, my eldest has at long last got his own flat & I have a lovely man in my life. Long may it last

Today:
1. I've spent hours sorting the cellar, and can now see the floor. That may not sound a good use of a sunny day, but it's looong overdue!
2. The mouse's nest I found in an old chest of drawers in the corner of said cellar turned out to be uninhabited, phew! Especially as DH tackled it by prodding it with a stick and shining a torch in before carrying it outside.
3. I got the bedlinen and the towels dried in the sun and they smell divine.

The weather is absolutely G.....L....O....R.....I.....O.....U.....S.......and it temptrd us both to mingle with the boating crowds at our nearby Marina.

The brreze from the sea kept the temperature exactly just right.

We sat at leisure licking our favourite and quite delightful
Italian ice cream (Since I am religiously sticking to a low fat diet for health reasons this was a REAL treat)

Whilst I was able to follow the pleasurable art of people watching.

Ain`t life good...........and a lot better than this time last week when I knew I was heading for an Operation!!!

oops sorry

I posted a riviting thread about underwired bras. Where is it? too suggestive?

This thread has been balm to the soul.
Lovely Church service this morning
My paeonies are a sight for sore eyes. (Bowl of beauty)
Watched Ladies in Lavender with lunch on lap
Happiness
