Reasons to be cheerful. ??

Lucca you and me both. Love being outside in the snow and building snowman. It’s so peaceful.

Jane10. Delighted the cat has performed! That must have been some event after all this time!

That my teeny tiny laundry has a new bench top and looks rather nice
That most of the time I am still rather partial my husband even though he retires July 2019 and for quite some time now we have been doing everything thing together.
That I have two very close friends

I’m cheerful this morning because the central heating is on and it’s a frosty morning outside. We’ve had no central heating for the past week as there was a leak in the system. All sorted now and cosy. Yippeee.

Reason to be cheerful? The cat finally did a poo! We'd been anxiously awaiting an 'outcome' and feared a blockage. Vet said next step would be investigative surgery. DH has been following poor Baz around for days.
It's the little things!

Today my 93 year old mother-in-law had her first coronavirus vaccination, and next Saturday my 89 year old Dad has an appointment to have his (different counties).
We are all very relieved and happy about this.

Generally, along with Ashcombe and grandtanteJE65 - I'm grateful to be a retired teacher. This week, I rewatched a funny NY Eve clip that makes me laugh every time (mostly at the giggles of the hosts). And today, my son and DiL will be in town to take their car in and will be stopping by my place to wave from afar!

Lovely uplifting thread MawBe! I remember that ear worm quite well.

My reason to be cheerful is being able to go out for a walk (exercise) even in lockdown. It’s amazing how, if you’re not allowed to do so (Spain, last year) you really, really want to!

DH has just finished a six week course of radiotherapy so fingers crossed no more trips to Addenbrooke's for a few weeks.

A box of beautifully decorated cakes arrived for his birthday tomorrow from the DGCs, made by Positive Bakes. We got stuck in!!

Got lovely, yummy, 10 cute little custard doughnuts for £1.....going to have one or two now with a cup of tea.....?

Sainsburys have just informed me that I’m 9th on the list of buyers of physalis from the online shopping depot. Which must beat being the top buyer of cheap cider.

Hearing the happy laughter of children out enjoying the snow

My reason to be Jolly is having spent 24/7 with Mr Jolly for the past 9 months we're still enjoying each other's company. Just an occasional very small crack a couple of times which were quickly and easily patched. Very content in our bubble of 2, cosy house, food in the cupboard and both in very good health.

Outside temperature 'rose' to zero. Managed a careful walk. Enjoyed but glad to be back in the safety and warmth of home.

Nice thread Mawbe. Sitting outside at night under the stars. Puts things into perspective.

I stepped onto my new bathroom scales this morning and was relieved to find that I had put on less weight than I expected. That cheered me up enormously.

^What’s your reason to be cheerful? smile^

That you and others appear to be so cheerful!
It's contagious!

Yo!
Way to go Rufus

It's a lovely sunny day and I have hoovered out my elderly car, and am now going to give it a birthday and wash it! It had got rather a lot of mud from the allotment inside, we need it to be decent for next week as we have to go to the funeral of DHs BIL who sadly died suddenly before Christmas, not covid, but a massive heart attack. Also sent DH off for a gentle street walk and he feels much better for it.

Built a snowman in absent neighbours garden and showed it to grandchildren on FaceTime.
I revert to childhood in the snow.

Similar here, @NotSpaghetti. Apart from others in the past year or two, a friend’s husband died on Christmas Eve - not Covid and completely unexpected. Younger than dh, too. ?

DD’s 3 x rescued battery hens that arrived at the end of November are enjoying being able to peck and scratch in a nice big run, are growing new feathers to cover the bald bits, and are laying eggs for them, too.

AFAIK, all the family are well.
And it’s sunny!
So much to be thankful for.

I'm with you, Ashcombe, how I would hate to be teaching right now.

Two days of snow here, lovely snowmen in neigbour's garden,
well stocked up with food and logs for the wood-burner, still all well and the vaccination programme is running smoothly here,

No complaints, here.

Yes it is BlueSky

That’s a good reason to be cheerful Kate!
We are here, we have a warm house and food on the table and each other’s company!

Still here. Goodness knows how! This week my DH had his annual test for his prostate cancer. Still cancer free after 7 years.
