3 things to be cheerful about.

Retail sales have bounced up.
I have a free day so can spend the day at the allotment cutting down grass.
The patio doors are being fitted tomorrow.

* We had a very pleasant visit to our sister-in-law with lots of laughter
* She cooked us a delicious evening meal
* Whilst we were at her house I got a text message to say that our burglar alarm was going off BUT it was a false alarm - the relief was immense (our daughters were able to go to the house and report back that all was ok!)

Dh's car has been cleaned so I no longer get grubby if I brush against it.

I spent ages browsing in a new bookshop today.

I've made my best loaf of sour dough bread yet - I've been determined I'll master it.

I managed to stick to my 500 calories today (I’m doing the 5:2 diet)

I know I can eat normally tomorrow

Cleaned the patio paving today so now it won’t need to be done again for a while

DGS 2 finally mastered walking and is dead proud of himself.
Friend popped round unexpectedly and cheered me up.
Finished planting up geraniums, chrysanthemums, strawberry plants and a random selection of other flora.

1. new business doing better than expected
2. Sun has been shining for last 2 weeks non stop
3. Spending so much time in garden

The new neighbours young boxer puppy came to visit this morning

Finally decided on, and ordered new lounge curtains

Coming home on the bus, we saw a small dog, with a vet collar on. He lifted his leg, overbalanced, and ended up doing a headstand onto his collar. All bus passengers very amused.

Got loft ladder and new hatch door fitted which I’ve wanted for ages

Lovely long chat with DD

Glass of wine reading kindle in garden enjoying glorious sunshine

Anticipating arrival of DS2 any moment!

Sun is shining
I've been listening to little children read at a school
Friends have just invited us out for a drink

Rather worried about one of my DDs so I just had to think of 3 things that have been good today.
The sun shone.
Hearing the laughter of my 2 year old DGS.
Our garden plants are beginning to look very pretty.

Yesterday my 3 things to be happy about were:

* I had my hair cut and roots done (needed it!)
* My son's future mother-in-law came for afternoon tea and enjoyed the cake I had made.
* My son and his (new) fiance came for dinner and it was very enjoyable to spend time with them.

1. Yesterday I had my car cleaned so it's no longer an insect graveyard!

2. I had lunch out.

3. I heard that my dd has got a First for her degree.

Have cleared dining room and lounge of ornaments, pictures, lamps, glassware, curtains and other bits and pieces in preparation for decorating this coming week. (Heavy stuff will be moved as needed when DH back home tomorrow to help me).

Washed and ironed said curtains & wiped down the walls!

Had 2 very enjoyable evenings out this week.

Wow!

Did my tax return (it is a reason to be cheerful because now I can forget about it!).
Coffee with my usual group of up to 14 friends.
Made my favourite vegan lasagne (I'm not a vegan but this is a delicious recipe).

Can I please have that recipe?

1 Still revelling in the glorious weather.

2 I met two friends for coffee this afternoon.

3 my 'lady that does' comes on Friday so everywhere is nice and clean.
