What is making you happy today?

Off to lunch with adult GC in Glasgow West End. First time in the city for 18 months. Some rain so good day for the city. Also first time on a train for15 months!

Watching my gorgeous 2 yr old granddaughter having a swimming lesson and then a lovely lunch with her and my daughter in the glorious sunshine. Happy days. ☀️?☀️?

The antibiotics are working and I felt so much better this morning.

I managed to stay on my feet and moving for over 6 hours from when I woke at 5.30 to around midday.

Ahhh Tanith that's amazing news....must've been a terrible few months for you...
I've enjoyed Pilates this morning then lunch in garden with DD and 2 DG's. Oats with Fruit, Nuts, Seeds and Yoghurt for Dinner tonight after another session of Pilates....plus lovely walk with my gorgeous little pooch this afternoon in the glorious sunshine.....

Hello everyone!
This is my first post on GN, and a positive thread to start with.
I also have 2 loads of washing on the line, which seems to be a shared pleasure. We need this sunshine!!
I'm recovering from weeks of hip pain, and this morning I was able to walk pain-free, almost as before.
Seize the day -agree with you all! We don't know what's round the corner.

Tanith how awful the last few months must have been for you all. I sincerely hope that Louis gets his wish and can now go back to school and lead a more normal life.

I'm going a drive up the north coast of N.Ireland this evening with a friend to take dogs a walk somewhere different and then get take out chips to eat in the car. Doesn't take a lot to make me happy

My little dog as we have just come back from our lunchtime walk, he is a very wise doggy and listens to everything without passing judgement.

A lovely day, beautiful plants in the garden, peace and quiet to do whatever I want.

A message from my son that my GS Louis 7 who has now had two surgeries for a brain tumour won’t need Chemo/Radio therapy at this time but will have scans and monitoring every 3 months for the foreseeable future. Such good news after a terrible 3 mths of stress and worry for them I hope it stays that way. He of course is itching to go back to school and see his friends. My stress levels have lifted somewhat and I feel less on edge when the phone rings.
Enjoy the good weather everyone.

Best wishes too everybody with health issues or rubbish relationships.
Sunny days make everything feel 100 times better. So i am grateful for the sun although too hot for me. Good weather really helps you shut the rubbish things out.
I am sat having a coffee after the nursery pick up listening to GS snoring as loud as big chap after a few pints!
Feel quite on top of things today lots of ironing to do, husband and dog biscuits to pick up. Make tea - which is something, since having covid, i have struggled with! There's a bit of brain fog which leaves me staring into space rather than getting on like i used to do but i have been following a couple of motivation websites so really trying to get my life back!
Although not having another coffee and getting off Gransnet might help!

Hopefully time to get in the garden a bit and a nice walk before bed.
Got to make the most of these light June nights time is passing so quickly.

The sunny weather. Birds in the garden. My cats stretched out in patches of sun. A good audio book to listen to later.

Having a day off work and chilling in the sunshine ?

I went out early with my dog for a walk across the fields and came across Mummy and Daddy Swan with their 6 cygnets grazing in the field next to the canal where they live. Last year they managed to raise 4 cygnets to independence and they are the most attentive of parents, still bringing a smile to my face thinking of them.

A friend has offered to come and drive me to a clinic and hour and quarter away for referral appointment for my cataracts. She has a 45 minute drive to get here. I can't drive again until surgery is done. Yesterday someone turned the request down saying it was too dark for them. Knowing who is a true friend made me happy

We had our granddaughter stay last night. She had a bit of a wobble at 10pm wanting to go home to her mummy. Im happy that I convinced her to stay and she had a good sleep. Also happy I got her to school this morning with no rushing or stress.

Today our first lateral flow tests are negative. We sent away for them as we are visiting friends 200 miles away this weekend, one of whom is very vulnerable. It means a lot to her to get out and mix again, we wanted to ensure we do all in our power to protect her.
While I was getting my hair cut (great job Barry-thanks) a lovely young man in a nearby shop transferred everything from my old phone to my new ones. Well worth the £10 as it will save a huge amount of stress.
Then I returned to find OH had our main meal (which we now have early afternoon) well underway so any moment now I am apparently having fish pie, cabbage and carrots.
I am really grateful that life is so simple and pleasant for us.

My hubby being alive! We are at hospital as out patient right now, but at least he is hime again and alive. Diagnosed with incurable cancer but awaiting more chemo and a chance of remission please God. So blessed to have him in my life still. Enjoy each moment of each day as life is fragile and finite.

So sorry RosieJ18 I’ve had days like that too. Bad backs are painful enough without shingles on top. Hope things improve soon

So grateful for our NHS.We are so very lucky in the UK. Been for mammogram this morning and feel so very lucky.

Beautifully sunny garden to sit in, while the electrician gets on with whatever he is doing today.
Yesterday, I had my application for a Blue Badge accepted and should receive it within 10 working days.

Thanking my lucky stars my loved ones are all fine and healthy and able to enjoy today.

Hot and sunny here and Tesco's have just delivered our order

Hot and sunny here, blue skies and I had my first swim last night. The pool is clearing so it's gorgeous.

We had our second vaccine yesterday.

Last Friday at last our application for Residency Permit went through and acknowledgement from the Prefecture so now await our rendezvous to sign, hand over photo and do fingerprints in readiness for the long awaited. Will breath again when it is safely in my hand!

The gite is full for July and August so big relief financially.

Had a lovely long chat with long time friend this morning.

Always happy living in this remote rural valley in Southern France.

Lovely to hear Blosdoming. I’m 6 weeks post gastric bypass and have dropped 15kg so I’m happy too!

The sun is shining, there are only 2 weeks left till the end of term and I just bagged tickets to see my favourite group (Biffy Clyro) in September!
