3 things to be cheerful about.

Lovely post..
1. Going to Bodnant Gardens tomorrow
2. Had lovely time looking after GCs during half term
3. Loving my garden in June

1. Managed to get the shellac off my nails at last (nails underneath not so good though!)
2. Finished the book I was reading - The Light Between Oceans. Excellent.
3. DH sprayed the weeds for me so that will make sorting the garden a bit easier.

Went for lunch at Shrewsbury houseour local community centre, with dh. Watered plants in our communal garden, we have planted up the pots for the summer. Had a nice glass of beer while watching the news.

Bought a bunch of Sweet Williams yesterday from Aldi of all places. Haven't seen any for a long time and was surprised at my own joy of finding them and looking forward to getting them home and into a vase.

1). Seeing my daughters perform in their Theatre groups’ production of The Wind In The Willows - both girls had lead singing parts and were excellent (yes I know I am biased!!) - as were the rest of the cast.
2). Waking up to another bright and breezy day with no rain ?.
3). The promise of being taken out for shopping and lunch - so I don’t have to struggle with public transport in the week.

That its the last weekend of BGT
Hassle free shopping as everyone's on the beach
Sitting on the patio with the Sunday paper and a plate of buttered toast and a pot of Earl Grey.

Finally starting to get on top of our neglected garden.
It's sunny
Two lie ins in a row

Returned from the chest clinic, having been given the all clear.
Sat in the garden with my Westie enjoying the sun.
Settled with my knitting and watched TV in the evening
Had a lovely relaxed day.

Visiting a friend from junior school after many years. It was like we saw each other every day.

1. Saw Gareth Malone and some choirs.
2. Had an Aperol cocktail with friend.
3. My BMS has not been as burny for last few weeks.

Family all well and happy (as far as I know!)
Really nice loving message from dear friend who I will talk to later tonoight
Lovely day.
Washing blowing on line
Dear old dog's head on my foot .

1. I'm packing to go to Spain tomorrow.
2. Yesterday we were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary.
3. The weather is absolutely gorgeous.

Today is my one day off a week.........hurrah!
I am going to finish some work in the garden, finally done.
Best friend round for meal and film this evening.
I have a fourth loopyloo, blood test results back thursday, have officially reversed Diabetes 2, just totally cut out sugar. I am sure you will do it too!

1. I mowed the lawn yesterday and trimmed the two small willow trees, a la Monty Don's advice.
2. There are three roses blooming which look lovely.
3. Despite my wearing a dental splint due to a horrible accident five weeks ago I can still enjoy a lovely cup of tea (albeit with a straw) and look forward to its removal next week.

I had an unexpected last minute invite to attend the Colonel's Review - the dress rehearsal for Trooping the Colour as my nephew dropped out. It was really good, British pageantry at its best, with lovely weather.
After that I had a lovely Italian lunch with my DB and DSIL
Two things, but a big day out which I will long remember.

My Dutch irises burst into flower this morning
I slept till quarter to six
I saw this when I walked round my huge garden and it made me smile

Sallyann1 that was good!

Sorry I changed your name accidentally!

lopyloo... oh dear! I see what you mean! lol. ?It's not easy. Good luck ?

Had a lovely weeks holiday with all my beautiful family.
No traffic problems on the way home.

I know exactly what is in my freezers . That’s the silver lining to the fact that the storms tripped the electricity and we arrived home to 2 freezers full of defrosted food.

Finished sewing a shirt for my GS, upcycled from a lovely Ted Baker shirt of his Dad's which he was no longer wearing. (And I took it round there, tried it on him and it fits like a dream, and he loves it!)

Helped my DD this afternoon to finish her very first item of clothing, a top which she has been making at a beginner's sewing course. She's proud as punch!

Enjoyed a lovely home made chicken curry this evening that DH made this afternoon while I was at DD's. And he made onion bhajis to go with it too!

1. Had a good morning with friends at craft club.
2. Spent all afternoon in the glorious sunshine with a new book.
3.A big salad for tea so no cooking.

This is a lovely thread! Think I'll have to get me a Sylvia plant, just to test out the leaves annep and loopy!

Reading this thread, I was struggling to find three things! We have had torrential rain all day and our garden was flooded but
1) the water didn’t get in the house
2) my DGS and DGD were so excited by the whole thing
3) I found time to start a craft project I have had for ages.

Saw Benedict Cumberbatch at Hay Festival
