Not talking about major issues or personal things here but today I got a new cover for my iPad , brightly coloured butterflies. Cost almost nothing ($8) - about 4£. Free postage. The other one had fallen apart. Very cheery. Also, I found an earring I thought I had lost months ago - it was one of a pair I won on board a cruise ship. Daft things but very nice.
Tell us about the little things that made you happy recently ?

The fact that we had proper rain last night for the first time in about 2 months made me very happy!

There is no rain here. A lot of forest fires buring everything to the end of the world.

I am happy to have legs that can walk forward.

Having a swim in a cold east Anglian sea. Invigorating snd exhilarating.

When our two grandsons 15 and 13 rush in to see us with a big hug.

Discovering a new author on Kindle Unlimited that I enjoy reading and then finding that they have written a huge series of books, also available on Kindle Unlimited!

Seeing the grandchildren over the summer.

Clouds and cooler temps and the promise of rain.
