What has made you happy today?

Saw some ducklings on today’s walk by the river

I managed to get a delivery slot! Wow!

I got some coleslaw at long last!
I've been really fancying some, but nowhere has had any.

I've just made my own coleslaw, using up a bit of cabbage, the last carrot and a spring onion. Fresh mint from the garden was chopped in and mayo added.

I really do LOVE coleslaw so that made me happy.

I got an on line slot for delivery on Sunday.

I suffer badly from insomnia and restless legs 24/7. This afternoon I managed a three hour nap...bliss.

We and our dc and dgc are all well.

Gardening in warm sunny weather

This georgeous little face chatting to me on FaceTime

A lovely lady in the village phoned me to say she had been shopping and had some asparagus and would I like some! Would I? Oh yes perlease ?

This made me happy today! Someone in my village has put some empty beer cans to good use, as they are not being collected by the refuse team at the moment. Well done! Another tribute to the NHS and carers.

I have a gardener

I've had a call from someone I've never met who lives nearby and asked me if there's anything I'd like when she goes shopping. I've requested EGGS! Last time I was able to go shopping was the time when panic buying cleared all the shelves at Morrisons and I was down to my last one - which I've now soft boiled and savoured in the happy expectation of more to come. And that makes me happy

diggingdoris, that's so lovely!

Garden centre delivery of compost by a very helpful and friendly man!

Finding my glasses this morning outside in the lane that runs between two rows of houses. My husband noticed them on ground about 10 yards from our back gate. I searched house and garden high and low for the past five weeks and had to cancel Specsavers appointment because of virus.

Yesterday a hand crafted thankyou card from 2 year old GC , with help from his mother, thanking us for Duplo given to him well in advance of his birthday last week. Made my day.

I just had an unexpected face phone call thingy with my older grandson

I mentioned that I missed him, so young one phoned him on a video call! I hadn't even thought I could have done that.

Saw a large Heron on our walk by the river - not a very clear photo, but it was lovely to see it flying and landing

This fell off my wall today. ?. Is it an omen????

Ahhh! They are so tiny Lisagran
Great photo ???

Tiny ? Herons ? They're like pterodactyls if they fly close.

Yesterday I got stung by a bee, then had a call from the Care Home to say that DH was very unwell with cellulitis.

Today I phoned to see how DH was and was told he was much better. Doctor had been and prescribed an antibiotic, followed by a visit by District Nurse to bring the antibiotic, give him an injection and take bloods for testing.

Next thing there is a knock at the door and our local Councillor delivered a bag of fruit and veg, courtesy of the Village Community Council. 2 each of bananas, apples and oranges, a cabbage, lump of turnip, and 2 each of onions, potatoes, carrots and a bag of lentils. Also a tin of soup, some macaroni and 6 free range local eggs. All free, donated by local shops, farmers and the community garden.

The Care Home tell me they have been inundated with people leaving flowers, toiletries, chocolates, biscuits, ect. on their doorstep. At Easter they got boxed Easter Eggs, one for each resident and every member of staff. I'm feeling very lucky to live in this community minded village, which also has wonderful walks on our doorstep.

DH has just found a click and collect for us on Sunday, we will be going out for the first time in 5 weeks!
DD has been shopping for us but she is poorly at the moment and is in bed, so we will be able to order for her as well.
We will go with our masks and gloves on .
Exciting and scary in equal measures.

I meant the earlier photo of ducklings EllanVannin ?

My daughters partner got down on one knee and slipped a lovely ring on her finger. Thrilled for them.

I got a delivery slot for next week ?

So did I Tanith! Sunday week. I never thought I’d be so excited about a shopping delivery ?
