3 things to be cheerful about.

Well done loopylou on starting this thread - I just tried and put it into the Blogs forum by mistake!
My three things:
1. Put my new plants out into the beautiful sunshine.
2. Had lunch with my DD and DGD, then got an unexpected invite to have a drink with DS and family
3. Read a great article about the regreening of a dry valley in Positive News (a magazine I highly recommend to counteract the miserable news we always hear).

Today?
1. The rain kept off for our local 40s day.
2. My DGS's face when he leant against the knee of a "living statue" and she turned round and looked at him.
3. I'm about to have my first red wine of the week (then maybe my second and third...).

Well done, Loopyloo!

1. The gorgeous weather.
2. Watching loads of massive bumble bees bumbling about my garden.
3. Buying some yummy food for the weekend.

1. Got rid of my old sofa via freegle so now have room for the new one arriving next week
2. Spent far too much time at my window watching the swans and seven baby cygnets - adorable.
3. Found a forgotten bar of Dairy Milk in the door of the fridge - so obviously had to eat it.

1. Changed some furniture round in the back 2 bedrooms, thus clearing out some "stuff" in the process.

2. Made a gorgeous trifle, then ate a huge portion of it.

3 Got a bottle of wine, which I'm now enjoying.

1. Rain this morning but stayed dry for procession this afternoon.
2. Granddaughter won first prize and cup at fancy dress.
3. Just had strawberries, ice cream and cream, first of the season for me.

Just had a foot massage from husband. He's really good at it.
Bought 3 little tops in Marks.
Had an unexpected message from a friend in England.

1. Sold out of cakes, raising £100 for First Responders
2. Enjoying evening watching tv with DH, knowing that at 9.00 we shall have a Curly Wurly each - 6 sins on SW
3 looking forward to seeing DS, DDiL and DS tomorrow.

DH’s PSA levels still as low as they can be.

Spent time sitting in the garden this evening with 2 dogs, a g&t, and then DH (once I got him out).

Going on last minute holiday in just over a week.

2 little tops. not 3.
and Loopyloo I too am trying to control blood sugar. It's very difficult when you've a sweet tooth and like chocolate. Today I had a (quite big)biscuit and two squares of Lindt 90% cocoa chocolate- a fifth of a bar that is. Too much. Didn't manage the walk as I've a headache. How do you manage- ( I digress). I've been told I risk being diabetic if I don't control.

Just read this about your Salvia....
Salvia divinorum is a plant species with transient psychoactive properties when its leaves are consumed by chewing, smoking or as a tea. The leaves contain opioid-like compounds that induce hallucinations.

1. Visited DD and DGC this morning.
2. Came across a plant sale and bought 3 really really cheap planted up containers.
3. Enjoyed pottering in the garden in the blazing sun.

My cough is beginning to clear up.

I bought two half price tops in a posh shop that is closing down.

I watched plenty of great tennis from Paris. ????

Cheerful happenings

Gazing on the foxgloves (which seeded themselves) standing so tall and proud in the garden against all the greenery. They bloomed while I was away and there are spikes of pink bells in clumps everywhere.

My car looking all shiny and new inside and out after a trip to the local garage car-washing/valeting service.

A pair of summer trousers I wore last year being slightly (only slightly) too big for me when I tried them on this morning!

Pleased with the gift box I made (first attempt) for DGS1's birthday present.

Been invited to lunch out tomorrow.

Looking after next-door's cat for 3 months while owner walks around Wales. Despite having only 3 legs, one eye and corneal graft just 2 weeks ago, cat is doing well. I am terrified that he will pop his clogs on my watch as we have no idea how old he is!

Annep. I can't say I do control it. I am starting again. Have bought a little booklet to keep a food diary.
Had a slice of cake at cafe Nero and a cappucino and a cheese scone. And have just had chocolate icecream.

Saw Benedict Cumberbatch at Hay Festival
Garden filling out nicely after rain and sunshine
Drinking chilled white wine

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

Sorry I changed your name accidentally!
