What cheered you up today

My dog has spring fever this morning, he’s been racing round the garden in circles like a mad thing, just for the joy of life.

DH completing a job that's been around since last year.

Close relative diagnosed with cancer, so felt down this morning.

However had a walk along Low Newton beach in Northumberland with my dog in the sunshine this afternoon. Threw the ball for her, and she made me laugh at her antics.

Singing Fauré’s Requiem last night and also listening to the rest of the concert- for free.
Now I am listening to some Early Music on Radio 3.

Sitting out in the sunshine with a cup of coffee after giving the lawn its first cut. Hard work in places! 😳

Fauré’s Requiem

Lucky thing, its one of my favourites.

A man walking 20 yards ahead of me this morning allowed his dog to soil the pavement and I mumbled obscenities about him all the way into the shop for my paper.

On my way back he nipped out of his house with a poo bag in his hand and picked up the mess….he’d simply forgotten to take one with him! It cheered me up no end 🙂

We’d a surprise visit from our son and dil today with a few of the grands. Two delightful little girls one just two months ! Nearly two year old gd is talking more and more and can’t pronounce papa (what the grands call my husband) and follows him about hollering for uppa! And is the most darling thing

Next doors cat.
He comes into our yard and waits until we open the door, then strolls in, has a look round, purrs when we fuss him, then leaves happily with his tail up.Such a gorgeous cat, black with a white bib and socks.

A lovely soon yesterday with a DF I haven't seen since Covid when she moved to be nearer family

Laying in bed just now, sun pouring in and a little blue tit landed on the window sill and is looking in at me.

Was midwife to one of our ewes, who had 2 beautiful lambs. All happy and doing well

What made me feel happy today was my trends gents Shampoo and Set please hairstyle/ It for the old men 40 plus and forever. Colour

We took one of our hens to the vet as she has the most dreadful treading injury. I didn't expect to be bringing her back alive but she was given an injection and has perked up. She has 3 more injections to be given but at least she has a chance, I thought she was doomed! This made me happy.

Met up with some friends from 2017. Lovely to catch up over lunch.

hahaha what cheered me up was the frank discussion about connstipation on another thread. I dont usually discuss medical conditions.

My lovely (only my second visit to her salon today) hairdresser Alicia who listened to me and then cut my hair exactly as we both discussed 💐

A visit from my granddaughter who drove me to collect heavy curtains from the dry cleaners.

My GD (5) sending her count down calendar showing when they arrive for Easter and then "2 mor sleps Nanny ".

Our 5 year old next door neighbour came to the door with her mum to thank me for an Easter egg I had given her mum for her. They are Muslim and obviously don't celebrate Easter but they bring us sweets round at Eid. This child, who hides behind her mum usually when we see her, had the biggest smile on her face as she came round clutching the egg. She said 'Thank you SO much for my egg'. It gladdened my heart.

Kate 1949 that would have made my day too. I adore children and love to see them smiling.

This morning I was woken very early by a blackbird singing away only just outside in the garden. He was very musical and sounded cheerful; it made me think that there are some good things happening in the world.

And a lovely man came to give the lawns their first cut

My washing has fried and I’ve mown my lawn. The joy of a striped lawn! ( Even if it mostly moss!)

My nephew came round to sort out a small problem with my roof - he wouldn’t take payment so I “paid” him in freshly baked scones! He said it was better than money! He ate two and I gave him the rest to take home.
