One of my male friends painted my nails.
He does them far better than I can.

Meeting my new Step Grandson yesterday and spending more time with him today, he even fell asleep on me, priceless!

A good friend of long standing visited and we had a good long chat about absolutely everything. Wept and laughed and both felt better for it. Doesn’t take a lot to make a day worthwhile!

I also braved the wind and rain to join our village community choir singing carols at a big Christmas fare. Singing is a great way to lift ones mood, I always come home smiling.

I got up early, wrapped up well and took the dog out for a nice walk in the snow then went off and had my Covid booster, I have my youngest grandson coming to stay tonight so I’m looking forward to seeing him.

My football team beat Swansea for the first time in 13 years, and the first time in 20 years ‘away’ ? ⚽️

My husband as we tackled the housework he unexpectedly turned to me and said " l love you" made me smile.

We had a power outage, and a lovely neighbour made sure everyone had hot drinks and hot f if needed

Sitting in front of a nice log burner after spending an hour cleaning the freezer. Have been trying to empty it for weeks so satisfied now it's done ready for Xmas. And OH has just made me a snack.

The new perfume I’d treated myself to arrived a day early and I like it.

There is a surprise birthday party for my son tonight and my daughter and son-in-law are travelling down from St Albans so it will be lovely to see them as well as to see my son’s face when he realises he has a party…???

The sight of a vase of tulips in the sitting room. Although on their last legs, some standing, some drooping gracefully making a beautiful display.

Yes Kalu I too love the arty vision of tulips as they start to wane ?

Met my elder daughter and six year old grandson in town for shopping and to look at the Christmas trees in the public gardens. Cold but bracing and very Christmassy! Inspected said grandson’s gappy grin as he has just lost three front teeth-I believe the tooth fairy is on her way…!

I came around the corner while doing chores this morning, and my little dog was lying in the middle of the kitchen floor on her back with her legs up, waiting for a belly-rub. She's so cute and funny sometimes.

Also the hummingbird was waiting for his food to be refilled, after we had a wicked wind storm yesterday.

How lovely to read your post CanadianGran. We have very happy memories of visiting an Aunt on Vancouver Island and watching the humming birds visit her feeder, sadly she passed away three years ago. My husband managed to catch some lovely photos of them. Your little dog sounds lovely. We had the bad wind storm yesterday as well and it is still blustery today.

Looking at the horrible weather, staying indoors, lighting the fire and getting on with the decorating

I found a car wash that was actually working. The one that I got stuck in a few weeks ago is still not repaired. But today I found one that was and my car is now clean at long last!
(not very exciting, I know, but I was tickled pink.)

When it's cold, wet and snowy outside, my lovely warm bed makes me smile. I've stayed put watching TV and drinking coffee whilst the dog snores by my feet.

Two things - 1. I've made an appointment to have my hair cut after dithering about it for two weeks.
2. I've received an email for a friend in America who was worried about a member of her family over there. All is well, so I'm pleased for her.

I spent a couple of hours serving refreshments at the Christmas Tree Festival in the Church in town and had some lovely conversations with other helpers. I also talked to someone who used to come to our Community Choir who I hadn't seen for a long time and discovered that she has a real problem with her voice and that's why she doesn't come now. It's a very cold, windy and dismal day but talking to people has made me happy. On the way home I spotted a gorgeous evergreen wreath in a flower shop and bought it to put on the front door. I shall feel happy every time I come in the door for several weeks no matter what the weather.

Getting my hair done after an extremely stressful week.

The power coming back on at 1.30 - I can take my coat off now!

I have so much to feel good about but your post JT28 makes me feel even better

BassGrammy Sat 27-Nov-21 14:01:56
