What has made you happy today?

I am generally a very happy person but lately it has been hard to find any happiness. Then my DD sends me a video of my DGS and all is back to normal ❤️

The call from my son and his girlfriend telling me the 12 week scan went well. This was the result of the second IVF attempt and they had resigned themselves to never having children. Really made me cry with joy for them and I don't cry often!

I just wanted to share this with all of you on here.
One of our neighbours, with help from her two young girls, used their front window as an art project, this morning.
They have painted/ chalked, directly onto the glass.
It is beautiful.

Watching the antics of three pheasants I my garden has made me smile more than once today.
Our regular cock pheasant visitor was joined by another handsome fellow. He was chased across the garden, and they both flew off over the wall.
An hour or so later, regular visitor was back, this time hotly perusing his lady love. She was looking for her lunch and was having none of it.
Poor chap, hes not having a good day.

2 emails and a phone-call from friends wishing me well. It was magic and lovely to hear from them. Quite unexpected.

WhatsApp call from DS in NZ, followed by phone call from DD and DGD in their new home in the Highlands. We couldn't see in or see them because they don't yet have WiFi , but I could sense some happiness amid the chaos, it quite relieved my toothache.

When this bloody corona war is over..... Oh how happy we shall be.
(apologies to Oh What a Lovely War)

The sunshine, it dried my washing, so fresh sheets on the bed tonight. Bliss! Added to that, our Hello Fresh food box was delivered only a day later than promised. Joy all round!

It will be Joy unconfined if/when my supermarket delivery arrives midweek. It was the only slot I could get, and there are no further slots for now.

Feeling safe at home, no need to venture out just yet. And the sun's still .

A phone call last night from the manager of one of the supermarkets I use for large events(Carrefour).
Asking me to call him with my shopping list and he will have everything ready for me when I arrive.
He knows I like a walk (keeps my artificial knees going) and it will be nice not to queue.
I had been in the shop in the morning and had a chat at a distance.
Good to know they are thinking about their clients.

So far.....
FaceTime with DGS (17) who called to tell me he had passed his latest drumming exam with a merit
FaceTime with DGS (4) who showed me some of the crafts he and his mummy have been doing and the haircut she gave him.
The cheerful shop assistants on my weekly shop.

My fishman has just delivered two boxes of fish to the 'Deliveries' box outside the front door. Salmon for supper tonight.

The Ocado delivery man- He was so chirpy, so correct in the way he delivered out goods.
