What has made you smile today?

I went to the lake, sat on the jetty, listened to the waves, watched the gulls, the boats, took pictures, collected a bag full of small pieces of driftwood and then went home and made a Valhalla Ladder / driftwood garland ..

GC1 and GC2 cuddling up together under a blanket in the chair. It only lasted a minute but is sealed in my memory.

Thanks ladies, nice posts!

2 photos received today; one from my son was a beautiful rainbow over the harbour, the one from my daughter is of her my Gsons in a pumpkin patch.

I had to work today... just finishing up and spending a few moments here.

A baby's gummy smile will do it every time. I wonder what our lockdown babies will think about being born in this year that will make future history lessons?

Our 7 year old granddaughter sending a message to ask if she could come over today, “because she had no plans”. We had a lovely crafty afternoon!

Seen on Facebook....

This thread has definitely made me smile today.

My GrtGD Evie 3, today having been told not to interrupt her Mums conversation with me 5 mins later when I spoke to her Mum she turned to me and said ‘don’t speak Gaga I’m chatting to Mummy’ that’s me told then.???

Ellianne What are these peculiar things ?

This reminded me of when my daughter was at junior school & she had her nan in the park before school started hunting for INSECTS to capture in a match box to take into class. Nan was very embarrassed when they were the only ones other than teachers to turn up on INSET day. We haven’t let them forget this & my daughter is 30 this year & also a teacher.?

Seeing my grandchildren for the first time in many weeks.

Removing two items from my 'to do' list. Yippee. One was fiddly but eventually achieved and the other was a bit of a five minute pathetic nonsense. Joy indeed.

Having a walk in the sun followed by lunch in a local cafe with my lovely best friend, then a quick forage round the charity shop opposite where I bought bargain books for the DGS and some beautiful Christmas cards.

Also, this picture of the amigurumi dolls I made for GD.

A photo from my great niece with my sister who has just returned home from hospital after falling and breaking her hip.

Looking at my current gladioli. I buy them every week while in season.

We took our three year old GD to a farm park yesterday and she got to groom a pony - her little face was a picture.

Yes, thank you for starting it PECS. Happiness releases good hormones too, much better than constant doom and gloom.

Reading through thevposts has made me smile.. lovely to see how many happy moments people have had ?

Since lockdown I have been keeping in touch with friends and family by WhatsApp as well as calls. I have had a huge response when I sent out lighthearted memes and as a result I receive many by return.
Just having something make you smile brightens your day.

B9exchange haha and thank you. In some ways I wish it had been the cat, I’ve missed my flu jab and shopping and am done in ?

Booked tickets to the panto at the Palladium.
Hope Covid allows us to go.

Wish you better hollysteers, I thought for a moment it was that cat that had the runs!
