Let’s have a positive thread

Mr and Mrs Bullfinch have returned to the garden - yay! They're so beautiful. We see them (or at least a pair of Bulfinches) every year but have yet to see any offspring so we're keeping out fingers crossed for this year.

We have just spent our day caring for our grandsons ( 3 and 1) on a very wet, challenging, long day. All inside play today. Would we have it any other way - of course not. These babies were wanted for close to 8 years each ( the 3 year old is my son’s and the 1 year old my daughter’s). How can anything be more positive 💕💕

One of our little rescue dogs has had the all clear for another six months from her liver problems. She also had a lipoma removed and is recovering well.
Good news all round.

What a treat for you. How old is the baby? Small enough for a cuddle?

How lovely pably. We’ve just been out to lunch with adult Dgrandson who is staying on after his holiday with the rest of the family to work from home, our home, for a while until his partner joins him with her parents. He really is a godsend as DH has been very wobbly lately. As a bonus, by the time we got home our cleaner had arrived and started. Hopefully she’ll have time to get the ironing up to date as well.

my great nephew his wife and baby who I havent seen for a few years came for a visit at the weekend and what an absolute joy it was to see them oh how it brightened up the day..

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.

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*.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Yeahhhhh a positive thread, wowwwwww... well done for cheering us up ..... 😃
Its lovely to read happy post opposed to bloody moaning and complaining... 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Cossy your sausages really are sausages!!. I thought the edible kind at first.

My DS has a sausage too.

I thought Cossy meant small grandchildren.

tictacnana - wonderful! Good for you !! ❤️

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. 🙂

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

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.

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.

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.
