What is making you happy today?

The fact that my (hopefully ex) partner hasn't been in touch for 6 days!

I'm sick of just being someone to talk to when he's bored at work, he rarely makes plans to see me and then cancels at the last minute because his grown-ass daughters decide they want him for some ridiculous reason when they've not bothered with him for months. So yes, I'm perfectly happy to be sitting here reading my book without any interruptions.

Nothing !
My cancer symptoms are playing up .
I have hurt my back.
And ... just got diagnosed with blo....y shingles so now can’t get to chiropractor!
Hoping for better things ......

Happy because my shade plants have arrived to plant under our pergola. So a good day in the garden.

50/50 day for me too. Son having to go to London for a meeting :-( Me - I have to take extra meds as my levels for one thing have dropped :-( - really am impatient and want to be normal again. On a positive note - sun is shining, blue tits babies have fledged as have the blackbirds so the garden is full of noise. Onwards and upwards

Attending a zoom meeting with friends in the Exeter U3A. Yes, I know lots of people don't like zoom, but I've enjoyed lots of stimulating meetings over Lockdown which have kept my brain alive. Having gained a few pounds during Lockdown, I enjoyed a fruit salad with yoghurt for breakfast. Will my resolve last for the rest of the day?

Yesterday evening I received the wonderful news that my big brother has finished his cancer treatment and blood tests all OK. Ongoing he will have 6-monthly blood tests and a review with his assigned nurse. I know this doesn’t mean it’s all over but it’s a very positive step on the way, I love him so much, he has been my friend and protector ever since my birth.

Sun is shining, a work task I thought would take all morning was done and approved by 11.20am, it looks as it we'll be exchanging on our old house at the end of next week, I am sitting in my garden office in the new house, with my blue Burmese boy cat beside me, having just had mid-morning coffee. Life is good.

But yes, Grandmafrench life can change in an instant. Went to my cousin's funeral last Friday, to visit a friend with a terminal illness yesterday and will be seeing another with a different terminal diagnosis on Saturday. Carpe diem.

Appointment with a wonderful physiotherapist to ease the awful pain I have been in.

Lovely sunny day!

Granddaughter’s negative Covid test!

Found some good books in the charity shop!

Hi there .
I have started My Divorce with clean break proceedingsafter over 5 years separation...it should be straight forward as we have dealt with finances already .
We have had few issues since so hopefully will be sorted easily fingers crossed

DS1 coming any minute from Oxford to take us out to lunch. SO excited to see him!

Going to the beach ?

Gardening- weeding as we have been away for 8 days on a lovely staycation- and Chelsea chopping all the early cranesbill geraniums, to give light and space to other plants coming up, and a second display later.

Rain has stopped play, but that is OK.

Quite happy to be alive and breathing- I am happy to be able to swim 3+ miles per week and walk my two dogs. Makes me happy to be cleaning out and organizing my condo. Thankful to be healthy and able to work. Dreaming about coming home to the UK.

*Glasgo *I feel your pain. Just had mine cut and it looked lovely but the curls are back, wild as ever "sigh "

Sat in the garden watching the birds whilst waiting for 3 friends to arrive for cake and chat. Happy days.

I’ve just finished a pile of ironing that has been staring at me for days.

Haircut yesterday, more modern style, sure I won’t be able to replicate the blow drying and straightening though. Will be back to wayward curls soon!
OH having music on the radio this morning rather than depressing discussion programs. Had a wee dance round.

Looking forward to a week's holiday in Scotland after a year of no travel.

My sisters-in-law and their husbands are coming for afternoon coffee.

It is nearly two years since we were altogether last.

The house is clean and tidy, right down to the much needed new toilet seat DH finally affixed to the toilet in our bathroom!

The weather is glorious and I found time to mow the front lawn yesterday.

Starting my day with a swim as I’m so lucky to live near Cheltenham Ladies College….. always makes me feel good. The thought of a wonderful w/e in Suffolk visiting DD and family….and staying nearby in a beautiful hotel, first one for a year! A walk later on our local hill with views all across to the Severn valley ☀️

The blue sky and sun it makes most things feel better .

I am happy to be alive, freely moving about. No health issues. content in my new home (just moved). The sun is out, blue sky and the wild birds come to visit. Pottering around in our garden. Filling hanging baskets with trailing flowers.

@Grandmafrench - so sorry to read of your loss. And thank you for your wise words.

Reading the obituaries in the paper and finding I was not amongst them ?
