So many things to be happy about for me today.

It’s warm and sunny, soothing muscles and making movement easier.

Both laundry hampers are completely empty!

Washing drying on the line in the glorious sunshine.

We have a bulky waste collection booked for today, can finally get rid of some major clutter.

My great nephew is celebrating his 9th birthday, thriving after scaring us all by arriving 6 weeks early via an emergency caesarean due to a detached placenta.

I feel so much more hopeful today.

A day at the seaside in the South East and a swim in the sea. The moment is now, so I took a dip. It was so refreshing, I felt quite elated by the whole experience.

Happy to have the best husband. We had a water line break where it goes into the house. He found it early, called city to shut off main line, and dug down 3 feet near the foundation to see where the problem was, and talked to neighbours to borrow from their water supply.

He has dug a trench from the house to the alley behind where the main line is, so it can be easily replaced. All this done yesterday! We are hoping plumbers arrive today to put in new line.

Also grateful for lovely neighbours that allowed us to attach a hose to their outdoor tap to supply water for us in the meantime.

DH is retired, but was working as maintenance in the local hospital for most of his career. He is very good at fixing issues and dealing with contractors!

Great news Tanith, I’m so pleased. I have wondered but didn’t like to ask. That’s made me happy today.
Also, Orlin has made some shelves in my little studio so that I can tidy all my paints and other stuff away and have room to move. In return I’ve made a load of lasagne, chilli con carne and a few curries for the freezer so that he can have a few weeks off from the kitchen, although he tells me cooking relaxes him.
Just being part of a good team makes me happy every day.

Being able to sit out feel the warmth of the sun, look out at the mountains and all that I’ve accomplished. Enjoying the fruits of my labor

These are lovely uplifting posts. I got lots of irritating jobs done today and I feel so much better for it. Sat in the garden listening and watching the birds feeding. It's been a lovely warm sunny day, now having a glass of wine on the patio

My thirty year old son is getting his first vaccine today ?

Tanith, am so pleased to hear about your grandson, it sounds like good news. I did wonder how he was getting on.
Coconut, condolences on the loss of your brother, hard at any age flowers,

Beautiful day, all my family are well, ordered three pretty summer dresses (hope they fit!) All items delivered today with my shopping order, had a haircut, and look better for it.
Small things - much joy.

Sitting in my garden overlooking the beach,listening to the waves as they gently hit the shore. The garden is shipshape and my back feels easier . DH has just gone in to make G and T’s . Little pooch is napping at my feet.
Alls right with my world!

Thoughts go to grandmafrench and her friend.
positive news for Louis *tanith
Wishing everyone a happy day

Happy today because we've got our internet back after it going off three days ago. It meant we couldn't send or receive emails and our phone was also out. All back now thank goodness as last time this happened we were without services for two weeks!

Susieq62 Wed 09-Jun-21 16:45:36

Lovely weather plus a trip to the Turkish Baths in Harrogate for a belated Christmas treat from my daughter. Plus a bit of retail therapy thrown in, a new dress bought from M&S. Positive thoughts today!

tanith Wed 09-Jun-21 16:39:36

Thanks all

Just in from a lovely lunch with four friends. Great. Also had very successful shopping session on the homeward journey. All good. Walked the perimeters to find one of my poppy plants is bursting forth and absolutely covered in huge pods. Absolutely beautiful.

Hello Abuela welcome! Pain free walking is something often taken for granted, it’s definitely something to feel happy about.

Blossoming Wed 09-Jun-21 16:23:12

Fabulous news tanith I feel so happy for you and your family.

One of my gorgeous granddaughters has moved in with us today ! She is going to college near us in September but wanted to move in early, which is so lovely.
It’s helped with my sadness of my younger brother losing his cancer battle on Saturday.
Life’s certainly full of ups and downs .......

Life is just good. The sun is shining and little things make me happy. Hearing the birds sing in the.mornings. Sitting watching a blue sky with fluffy clouds. Also hearing that my son who was very against the Covid jab has rung and said he is having the vaccination and has been told he can go to a drop in vaccination centre. Im delighted as we are,all vaccinated then. Another worry over with .

The fact that I have stopped procrastinating and filled in forms, made appointments/phone calls etc, and generally accomplished all the things that I had left for a rainy day. Unfortunately it’s not raining, but at least I can sit outside later on.

Just had my first bowl of locally grown Strawberries with Creme Fraiche and I don't expect it will be my last wink
