What is making you happy today?

Telephone call from my friend of 62 years telling me she had been released from hospital and was on the slow but sure road to recovery with the help of morphine and physio. Joy!

The arrival this morning of new comfy sandals . Regatta Wetshore ladies, my third pair - different colours. Designed perfectly to accommodate my bunions!!!!!

My new bathroom is taking shape, I love it already.

inspection

Two things:
Pilates class and extra are having a positive affect on my knee. MrM noticed I wasn't limping when I got home. I will leave the painkillers alone tonight.
After an hour of trying, I got Building Control to pick up the phone. Inspector now booked to come tomorrow morning to inspection the new drains. There will be another one for the installation of the treatment plant. Then it's all steam ahead for the final inspection and signing off. Might be in for Christmas.

Just heard this morning that our local ‘confirmed Batchelor’ is engaged, and is to be married next year.
He was as giggly as a teenager, it was lovely to see him so happy. He told me all about the wedding plans and the engagement ring, it was really lovely.

He’s 72 and she is 71.

Digging out a pit in garden for washing-up bowl pond. I found it very enjoyable digging, finding stones, gravel. Ordered three plants for the pond. So wild flowers growing now a little pond for wild life.

Lovely sunny weather now too and 3 year old GD 'helped' nanny paint shed, white stripes, on yellow shed, looks like a beach hut now.

My neighbours' lilac shrub is directly in my line of vision and is stunningly beautiful. My electrician returned to finish his job. All done, hallelujah. My kitchen project has jumped from one quarter to half done. Heavy work but I'm gaining momentum from success. Just in from a very pleasant and productive walk. All good. I'm so lucky.

That I am up and out of bed as I was all day yesterday.
The electrician has finished and was such a clean and tidy worker.
The peonies are in bloom in the front garden, along with many of the big blowsy pink poppies.

DD deciding to get the machine out to clean both of our terraces this afternoon. Sudden silence upstairs, hope the machine is working !!!!!!!!!!

To be home. I've been away and now I'm back.

My GD who lives with me received a txt last evening to invite her for her vaccine today, she has just left.
It is only about 3 miles away and she is 22.
Great work NHS.

The birds have finally decided that the RHS fat balls are worth trying. I’m getting the next lot from B&M. They’re cheaper and the birds like them better.

Went to collect my 3 year old grandson and as I strapped him into his car seat he said”I love you Maji” in a quiet wee voice. All I could reply was”And I love you my Poppet”
How I managed to stop myself from bawling my eyes out I will never know.

I have my eldest DD husband and 2 teenaged DGD here, for the last four days, while there house is being renovated and don’t feel stressed at all. Fingers crossed for the next five days.

It’s been a busy week here, sorted a heap of paperwork today and it feels so good to have that job done. Mr. B took me out to Lytham this afternoon, lots of people enjoying the sunshine.

Praise the Lord, happily sitting with my husband, listening to news. Just finished garden work for today!

Thanks Trisha57. Loving all your positive posts gardens certainly lift our spirits.

Being able to hug my children an dgrtand child is heaven; how I've missed it. Is there anything more comforting than that?

Payback time from my garden. Absolutely stunning with a wheen of papaver and elegant multi coloured lupins. Such a joy with evidence of much more to come. Indoors, I've just further attacked a kitchen project and reckon I'm now a quarter way there. Also lovely contact from my son today which was a terrific kick start to my day. Oh yesssss.

So lovely to hear the good news about your grandson tanith!

Like others on here, my garden is making me happy! I'm feeling content that I have finally got round to planting my leeks today after putting it off for a couple of weeks. And the delphiniums that I grew from seed last year are looking marvellous

I can hug my kids grandkids and very elderly parents who were so desperate for a big hug
My clematis is fantasic and my garden is blooming loverly
Just had my hair done so no longer walking round with a frizzy mop.
So much to be happy and grateful for

The garden is looking lovely this year so that makes me very happy as I do all the work out there. DH said when we moved here- 'you want a garden then you do it!' He has no clue at all about gardening so that is my domain!
I even dug both the fish ponds while he was working away in USA. He was very shocked when he got back!! (couldn't do it now though).

Keep Fit class restarting today-yay! Must remember to take it very easy. . .
