A phone call from my son who lives abroad saying he was in London for business and was going to come to mine tomorrow after he was finished for the day to stay the night before his Heathrow flight home on Friday morning. I’ve not seen him for nearly a year so I’m really happy to see him cheered me up no end.
I didn’t need cheering up either as I had had a lovely morning with my 2 year old DGS. It was nice though when we were complimented on his good behaviour and manners in a cafe at lunchtime.
Spent a lovely morning with my grand daughter while my son was doing some jobs at his house- she is such a little character and just makes me smile. Then spent the afternoon with my son, grand daughter and their dog. The sun shone, the field had lots of lambs and the garden is putting on a fine display of spring flowers (had no idea there would be as many flowers as only moved in last August).
Just getting out to walk the dog lifts my mood, every time, and sets me up for the day. The sun was out, so I ignored the housework and spent time in the garden, pottering, with bumblebees and a butterfly about - bliss. A series of funny text messages from a friend made me laugh when I did come in for the evening.
My neighbour brought me a custard slice , on her way back from town. Could only manage half. The rest I shall have later with a nice cup of tea..yummy 😋
I drove a different car, for the first time, without too much of a problem.
I spoke with a cousin I dont see very often.
A physio helped put me back on track, after I was getting stiff as doing a previous exercise too energetically!
I bought a good priced jumper that I knew was "me". And I keep having to wear the same one previously, when this sort of weather, as only one in my wardrobe like it.
I'm generally of cheerful disposition but had an extra shot in the arm by achieving some well needed shrub pruning today and I managed to free up a zip that's been stuck for days. Doubly happy!
I really didn't need cheering up. I am of a happy disposition most of the time anyway. It hasn't been very sunny here today. Yesterday was better. My cake turned out really well. I am a terrible baker and any successful cake is a bonus.
For me the sun was shining managed a lovely walk. While walking saw a squirrel and lots of butterflies and birds. Stopped to chat to several people as the sun brought more people outdoors and it felt like spring is finally getting here.
