Reasons to be cheerful, the more bizarre the better, nothing soppy!!!

Had to get up at stupid o'clock to go for fasting blood test - not good! Now had 2 cups of coffee so feeling better. BP was 110/60 so nurse is pleased with me. I didn't tell her that is high for me!

and warm...soon be time for that first dip in the sea...now that is bizarre

Grannylin

i didn't fall down the stairs last night!

Not joking. I would have if I hadn't been holding on. So I'm glad!

Not going to the gym now as been on phone to old friend for 1 1/2 hours so won't see that woman who is about my age, fit, slim and looks good in lycra. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Very happy that my rescue dog, who has been with me for 5 weeks, has finally understood that its OK to 'play' when she is out in the fields. Today she gambolled about, bouncing through long grass, for the very first time.

The blind young dog, for whom she is supposed to be a companion, was delighted as has spent the whole 5 weeks trying to persuade her new friend to get out of 2nd gear!

Going to sleep in my own bed tonight

Been to Aldi ! Got lots of food for very little pence.

Browsing through joyous photos on Facebook of a wedding my daughter attended....recognising all the faces of those sweet little things who used to come over to play when they were all at school together. Now they are beautiful young men and women and seem to be having a lovely time.

Leaving Birmingham at lunchtime today I noticed loads of Police and some Marshalls, clearly something about to happen. Then in the front of one of the Police vans there was a big sign "U3A". I thought it was probably the EDF bringing them out, didn't know U3A were so troublesome!

DS has taken his two young DDs camping

Oh Movedalot.......they can be quite a difficult bunch....U3A......in the group I joined (haved moved away since) there were some crafty political machinations (naming no names - to protect the innocent)

moomin look forward to seeing the photos of the new arrival. Have a good holiday.

Hilda I was at a my DS best friends wedding in April and it brought back lots of memories of the group, who are all still friends at the different stages of their youth. It was a very special day seeing them all together again.

I got to the bottom of the ironing basket whilst listening to '7 Brides for 7 Brothers' and a Dolly Parton CD - lots of times

There is iron in chocolate! Not a lot, but enough to justify my present craving.

Thanks Ana and grannyeggs plenty of huggs

Going to our Coronation Street Party this afternoon and the sun is shining. Last year we all cowered from the rain!

Have just made the first lemon ice-cream of the year.....
now it feels like summer

I only had two migraines in the month of May. Huge

Only two Ella ? that is two too many

inthefields where do you live, I'm on my way

I have 3cartons of homemade strawberry and cream icecream in my freezer. Made with organic cheddar strawberries.

OK Galen can I come to you too! I love ice cream but please don't tell Glass (hope she is not looking!)
