What has given you pleasure today? ( An anti-rant thread).

That’s dreadful chicken I would take a screen shot and report it, as Allira says very cowardly.
Unfortunately there are some nasty people about.

chicken how unpleasant, and cowardly of them too. If they wanted to say something, they could have said it on the thread.

African can describe someone or something from the Continent of Africa, just as European can for someone or something from Europe, Asia, etc. covering a wide range of peoples, countries, culture etc.

Perhaps you should have asked him exactly where he was from!

I've just received a PM accusing me of being a nasty racist for describing the kind young man in my OP as African. If he'd been Japanese or American I would have said so to paint the picture. I feel so hurt and upset and it certainly hasn't improved what is one of my ill days. Why are some people so unkind, spoiling all those lovely responses, so many happy moments?

My step grandchildren calling me Grandma and wanting to spend time
with me. I love it when it’s my biological grandchildren, but somehow with my SGC it makes me feel so blessed that they have chosen to do that 🥰

How lovely, LadyGaga.

A walk to a pretty viewpoint which I first visited 35 years ago and a picnic in the sun, then delicious ice-cream on the way home. Mowed the front lawn (very badly) but I did it without strangling myself with the cable.
Today the back lawn.

Grammaretto,

I took two Samsonite suitcases to the British Heart Foundation and two teenage girls told us they didn’t accept suitcases or indeed any of the quality clothing inside. We were so disappointed.

Going to the gym this afternoon and being able to do my stretches and weights. I love that I still feel fit and strong at 69. My dad still danced at 89 and I hope to match him!

My lovely hairdresser told me today she is pregnant. I have been going to her for years and it made me so happy to see her delight and to hear her relay the delight of her family.

Spending the day with my husband(79). So many people I know no longer have their husbands so every day is a bonus.

DGS made an unexpected visit this afternoon. He gave the dog an extra run across the fields. Then when we asked if he’d like to stay for dinner he offered to make it for us.
I feel relaxed.

Yesterday I met up with one of my oldest friends . We walked our dogs through a glorious bluebell wood and the dogs had a wonderful time in the river . They are all labs and labs love water .

Dd just sent a video of Gdd2 (5)and all the other little ones doing a Maypole Dance at school. ❤️. Dh and I would have gone to watch only we had a pre- arranged lunch with my Dbro and SiL.

What is? Please enlighten us?

Love that chicken, Allira.

On hearing that Lidl have their corporate eyes on a plot on the edge of our small town, at last, and the delirious notion that Aldi, with FOMO, will follow suit and open up on the other side of this town, starved of choice that we are.
Then, rummaging in the freezer for chicken, found a box of 3 almond Magnum, had one immediately, I had forgotten how good they are

We walked along the beach before coming home for lunch and settled in the garden to read all afternoon- a glorious day 🌞

What? Having a bbq? A glass of wine? A cuddle from a grandchild? Celebrating Beltane?

Oh, I suppose if the food came from Waitrose 😁
Waitrose Ginger, Coriander and lime chicken is in the oven.

Sat in the shade with a glass of wine.
I wish you hadn't said that!

No, I can wait until tomorrow!
Enjoy 🍷

Actually, there are a few thundery clouds appearing.

I’m looking after my 6 year grandson for a few days and when his Grampy brings him home from school and he gives me the biggest cuddle it fills me with joy and happiness

This glorious weather. This is the third barbecue we have had this year. Just waiting for the right temperature to barbecue a couple of rump steaks. Sat in the shade with a glass of wine.

Days to remember.

Going to the dentist yesterday for check up and getting the all clear.
Being out in the beautiful weather and sitting on a seat under a magnificent oak tree listening to the birds......heavenly 😊

Today is Beltane, I've made Beltane lemonade, bought flowers to decorate the house and have a bbq planned for later
