Little things that have made you happy today

I've just been sent a moving e-card for New Year! Pretty, tacky and very cheering.

Congratulations, LadyGracie. You have many joys in store!

Congrats * LadyGracie* ,what a wonderful start to a New Year.

My twin grandchildren hiding in the toilet this afternoon as they did not want to go home after having spent a week here. The thing is they wil be back tomorrow evening as DD works on Tuesdays.

My DD and DSIL presenting us with a beautiful granddaughter at 2.27am today. Our very first grandchild and she's beautiful

My GS bowling into the kitchen this afternoon and giving me the biggest New Year hug (before grandad - that's a first!).

Tiny DGD wanting to take me home with her after a visit.

Nothing has made me very happy today...
We have had a duvet day watching DVDS all day ,reading, drinking tea nibbling sweets...cannot remember a day when nothing has made me happy for many years.. E resident GD has stayed at friends for 3 nights.....peace.....normal service resumed when she comes home tomorrow and we have more family visiting us

My panettone rose magnificently, apart from a slight sideways sag (baker's droop?). I hope it will fit in the tin!

A friend I had lost contact with has just sent me a New Year message.

Today my sister popped in which is always nice I went next door to see my 88 year old neighbour for a chat as she is on her own. She's not ill or incapacitated, just on her own for a few days. I had a nice little chat with her which made us both happy

When my 5 year old grandson said when I managed to get him and his younger bro a packet of Pomme Bears each (crisps) 'Well done Nanny' .

When he drew me a picture and said 'this is for you because I love you'.

This means a lot as we have had a pretty horrendous Xmas with their other Gran gravely ill and we are awaiting the phone call to say she has died.

And one of them has just answered.

I got around to trying to make contact with four people I used to communicate with, who I have neglected for a while.

Making an appointment with a kitchen designer.

Lovely photos, desjumeaux.
So happy that all offspring have safely returned to their respective homes despite fog, delayed flights etc.

Getting back to my sewing room,
Walk along the sea front with my dog
WONDERFUL

My oldest friend in Queensland has sent me a lovely scarf in colours yellow to dark red....she always had a good eye for colour combinations.
And - I've just successfully bought a hedge trimmer online and collected it.
AND had a nice phone conversation with a friend, about her Christmas.

My poorly relative is marginally better.
My beautiful black Labrador cross is now home and is responding well to training.
The Wonderful Man is having a cycling adventure today, which he really deserves after looking after me so well recently during a bout of ill health.
My new fitbit is going to cure me of lethargy and get me exercising a bit more than is my usual custom. (Yeah! Right! )

My grown up son has gone back to Glasgow!!
He doesn't agree with hygiene!! ?

They have all gone!! I love them all dearly but it has been a struggle as DH and I are recovering from that flipping cold/flu bug. I have a shift in the library this afternoon but then we are doing nothing till Jan 3rd.

And, all they forgot was a pair of light up Frozen shoes!!

I slept till late, talked to my aunt on the telephone for an hour. Had boiled egg and jam toast with cup of tea. Sheer bliss all is quiet for now the children are arriving any minute for a sleep over. That has made me really happy today

persuading a sick Mr C to go to bed...............

Watching a flock of goldfinches argue over seed and peanuts in our tree today, such lovely birds.

Yes, the Indian guy did phone back to check that all was well.

I do sometimes find their spoken English difficult to understand, so I use live chat instead, their written English is perfect, and I can cut/paste a record of the conversation.

Some people seem to have problems with BT, I have only ever experienced good service from them.

I find BTyouview perfect for our needs, not sure what I could replace it with if we changed.
