Lovely to see such a positive post ..

Yes forums need positive threads as well as all the myriad of other ones, the thought provoking, the amusing , the serious and the chatty ones.
In case any poster hadn’t noticed tho, there are two similar threads daily, the Good Morning one and Soops Kitchen.😃
Today is a good drying day here so sheets and towels all out on the rotary dryer and coffee drunk watching bees buzzing in the flowers.🐝🐝

Well now we have three positive threads, can’t be bad can it Oreo happiness in numbers 😀

The sun is shining 😊
I bought a lovely pink lavender yesterday from the Gardeners Fair 🌸
I've signed up for a new Sewing class later in the year ✂️

My resident house martins have fledged this morning, I’ve been watching them swooping about the garden, a joyous sight.

do you know where they have nested? We had just one baby (and mother) about a month ago. Mum had nested underneath the shed. The Dads seem absent

These are in the eaves of my house, I can see the nest from the garden. The father is there too, I think there are 5 babies but it’s hard to tell.

awww maybe mine just decided to be a single mum

I had the results of my blood test and I am delighted to have got my cholesterol down to 4 from 5.75 by changing my diet. I was determined not to go onto statins.
My blood pressure was 120/60. I put that down to lifting weights 4 times a week and losing 14 lbs!
Not bad for 77! I love my life!

There’s been a lot of bad feeling and bitchiness especially against other woman recently let’s find something positive to post about
Here’s my offering for today
The Pink Ladies Tractor run raising money every year for breast cancer

I am 82 years old with hardly any health problems, have a comfortable life and a family who love me, if my dear husband was still alive my life would be perfect, but apart from that I am truly blessed.

I am so pleased that some wild sea carrot I planted last summer has flowered this year in my garden. It has a lovely huge white flower with a pink dot in the middle which is supposed to be the bit to attract insects. So uplifting.

That’s really great Pythagorus I’m trying a similar thing but doubt it will be successful.Cholesterol is very hard to control.
Are you using Benecol non dairy spread? I’m nearly a vegetarian 😄 and have a non dairy diet.

Just about to pop out for a coffee with some new friends.
Have spent the morning clearing a backlog of paperwork so have achieved something.
Looking forward to reading lots of lovely positivity. Thanks BlueBelle.

Love positive, happy, cheerful people. Always try to be 'glass half full'. Wishing you all a good day.

Am currently lay on a sunbed whilst cruising the Greek island. The sun is out and I'm sipping a cocktail. A far cry from my usual day of cleaning, washing, ironing and doing the school run for our grandchildren. 🙂

A lovely concert last night at my grandson's primary school- choir, percussion, violins, ukuleles, solo performances on trumpet and piano, rock band....
A huge debt of gratitude owed to men and women teaching and encouraging children to enjoy and make music.

I watched my youngest GS play football last week. Cold, damp weather but lovely to see them all running around enjoying the game. I was glad to see two girls on his team and one on the other team too.

I’m a happy bunny I’ve tickets to see Madam butterfly. It’s been on my bucket list for years now - happy days are here again🎶🎶

I am sure you will enjoy it. So lovely to see it live.
One of the greatest operas of all time. I envy you.

Ooh yes, I've seen Madam Butterfly many times. Lucky you .

Oreo - I drink a Benecol pot every day.
I cut out processed food, no biscuits, cake, crisps and all that junk.
Eat real food and cook it myself. I do have some low fat dairy, eggs, chicken and fish. Pulses, oats, fruit and veg. Exercise is key. It’s possible to lower your cholestrol through diet.

Isn't Benecol processed?

Yogurt (85%) (Skimmed Milk, Yogurt Cultures), Water, Plant Stanol Ester (Plant Stanols 3%), Lemon Juice, Stabiliser (Pectin), Sweetener (Sucralose), Vitamin B1*.

Yes Benecol is a highly processed food.
I liked it, -the idea of something good in a little pot appealed, but then I was told to avoid sucralose, when I had gut problems.
