Reasons to be cheerful. ??

Got up early this morning to no frozen footpaths, so the dog and I got back out enjoying our long route instead of the skating rink we have crept along every day for a short walk. No one else about, bliss.

My reason to be cheerful is that my body decided to have a very rare cancer four years ago and not now! Wouldn’t fancy my chances now in this COVID climate and my heart goes out to those whose treatment has been delayed.

My neighbour's reason would be, as he often tells me”When you wake up. stretch out your arms, and if you don't feel wood you are still alive!" which must be the greatest reason to be cheerful

Sunday brunch of a bacon, lettuce and tomato panini with lashing of Hellman’s! Also, both DD and DiL have had their first vaccinations as part of the NHS roll out, so a little added peace of mind. And DH and I are still standing! Creaking, but standing?!

I suppose I should have added that I had my second vaccination last Thursday, exactly 21 days after the first one. Of course no-one really knows how effective they will be but at least we have been given a ray of hope. I gather even the best, Pfizer, has 95% protection so we just have to hope we are not in the 5%!

Reason's to be cheerful?

Being woken every ,morning by my cat purring loudly in my ear - not affection of course but "where is my breakfast?"

Two croissants with jam and butter for breakfast although not every day.

Daily phone call from family to check I am still breathing!

Finished all the puzzles in today's paper!

Now I must go out for a walk while the sun is bright, even though its freezing out there

Thanks Jane10 will do!

Mumagain is that the Bath Sally Lynn you mention? I used to work in Bath and have had a few lunches in Sally Lunn's with friends - lovely old building and HUGE buns!

Sorry, off topic here. Cheer today is: the sun is shining, I bought my first bunch of daffodils for the year recently and they are now opening up, and my son has made us a lovely brunch. Today is a good day

My reason to be cheerful is although not in the best of health, I am very happily married have great family we are all alive and not succumbed to the virus, I have warm house food in the cupboards, what more could you want

Thankful that our daughter (who lives with DH and I) has been able to work from home during the pandemic and stay safe. And that we are all healthy and happy in each other's company! And we have 4 lovely cats that give us lots of fun and joy and cuddles.

Sally Lunn’s are now available on line together with their lovely flavoured butters ? yum

Just finished 'The Rat Catchers Olympics' by Colin Cotterill, one of the Dr Siri series. Has to be one of the very best and funniest books I've read in a long time.

Mawbe thanks for the music. Had to get up and dance around to it! So feeling better already.
Bacon sandwich for breakfast-yummy

Apart from the obvious - waking up healthy, with a roof over my head, heating and food in the fridge - I thoroughly enjoyed my weekly treat of a jam doughnut last night!

My children and GC all seem to be in extremely good state of health. Adults have work and children seem to be coping with daily changes. Also they are in regular communication with me which is amazingly thoughtful considering all the other pressures they each have.

Happy birthday lemsip. Have an extra sachet to celebrate!

I'm cheerful to be alive , not have covid and to have my family . Who could ask for more .

to have a birthday today, so am happy!

Being able at 80 yo to live on my own, look after myself, walk my dogs cook and eat what and when I want. I'm still able to drive locally, cook for my family, bake, look after my small patch of garden, knit for charity. I won't go on any more.

I'm amazed and delighted at 83 to still be alive and in reasonable health.

Having two cups of tea in bed, cozy and warm - it was DH's turn to get up and make it so I get to have a lie in ?

The Donald is going!!
We have 3 vaccines for the dreaded......

Being immensely grateful that I woke up and can still function

Seeing my DD getting her iphone slobbered on when DGS gave me a facetime kiss!!
