In these testing times good to find reasons to smile...
Today my DGDs have an INSET day..at 9:00 I got a WhatsApp message from DGD1 asking for my recipe for chocolate sauce! I hope the kitchen is clean by the time DD gets home ?

The dog. She is supremely confident that she is the centre of the universe, so struts her stuff, telling everyone what they should be doing.

The window cleaner turned up early and I've never got dressed so fast in my life! It made me smile.
Also, he does gardening too, and gave me a really low estimate for pruning the shrubs (I've got lots of them) next week.
And it's a bright sunny morning here in south Devon.

Razor clams, now that would make me smile, a great delicacy.

A ? rainbow that's been in the sky now for over an hour.

We went to my niece's wedding in Australia last November - heard last night that she and her husband are expecting a baby in May 2021! I will be a great aunt for the first time.

Surprise flowers from a friend with a message which read ‘Hope these make you smile’ ... they did!

A new day. Morning Has Broken on the radio. Finding a nice hot cuppa at the side of my bed from my DH. Bliss

Knitted (at her request) an aran tank top for DD, posted it Thursday morning and she posted pics on Insta yesterday lunchtime showing how pleased she is...going to live in it until March, apparently.

Waking up to see my 18 year old dog curled up in the throw on the sofa.

We smile thinking about the fun we have with the DGC on their sleepovers (yesterday), specially the cut of the older one's gib! grin
Then we realise just how tired we are today!!!

My 3 year old grandson asking me if I would knit him a fish (he has one of mine already). 'Of course,' I said. He handed me a ball of my wool, snuggled up next to me in anticipation and said, 'Now!'

They looked like aliens to me BlueBelle. Even our dog gave them a wide berth. If I'd known I'd have dropped them in to Rick Stein's restaurant to make my fortune.

BlueBelle

ellianne what is that in your photo I can’t make it out ?

Nothing much to smile about I m afraid and sweet billy bobs on TV tonight

Me neither BlueBelle!?
After a bit of research I discovered they were goose neck barnacles, a real delicacy and very expensive.

Cheer up BlueBelle cupcake.
Kitty is that a bright pink wall? The jug and flowers look beautiful, they made me smile.

My 3 yr old DGS When I offered to do something Said “I think you might be too old “.........?

FaceTime call with DGD4 to wish her a happy 5th birthday and saying hello to her two older sisters in the background. Lovely to hear them say 'Hello Nanny'.

Ham and cheese toasted sandwich on sour dough bread in the M&S cafe.

Always took eating out for granted and now it becomes the highlight of the week.
