We don't have Donald Trump in charge of our country!

Right now, that'll do for me!

I've done some long overdue tidying today.
Lots of stuff is now ready to chuck out. smile

I’m cheerful because I’ve just found out that there is such a thing as a pineapple Jaffa cake. Oh my! Thank you for that, shysal. smile

Lucca yes, it did! grin Although the fact that I still don't know what it was is a tad concerning (still think it was a skin tag, although not sure they appear that quickly)

Aaanyway, another reason to be cheerful, my very subtle hair dye arrived!

Mr P may have to help with application, last one I did alone as my hair was still very short, but it grows like a damn weed!

Mr P has offered to cut it for me shock, but I politely declined.

I had let my hair go to its natural sort of silver grey, but have found a colour that just sort of "warms" it up a bit, and gently fades away without the dreaded roots!

More reasons?

We are both well, live in a lovely part of the country, are coping financially and are both managing to WFH reasonably well so far.

We have so much to be thankful for.

My garden waste bin has just been emptied, first time for two months!!
Oh, the anticipated joy of filling it up again.

Jet2 have just refunded our holiday payment in full with no argument at all.

My daughter has sent me a helium balloon in a box for my birthday cos I'll be on my own. And a balloon is company!!!

Even though it's raining, and expected to to the same the rest of the week, that means that my plants in pots are getting watered and the water butt is getting filled up.
Just about all of the trees that I can see from my house are wearing their spring coat of that lovely bright green.

I've just opened the bottle of white wine that my hairdresser bought for me. I really do know some nice people smile

They had the malty munch ice cream back in stock in the village shop!

I was so ridiculously over excited by this, that I forgot to consider wether the toffee fudge one might have been an option blush

Oh, and one of my sunflower seeds seems to have germinated smile

The bluebells in the woods were just breathtaking. First time weve been to our local woods since lockdown. Appreciated them so much more today. Really wanted to gather up a huge bunch to take home as I did when I was a child.... but I didnt ....you're not allowed
