What has given you pleasure today? ( An anti-rant thread).

Walking the dog before the rain started and getting back just as it started made my day today.

A great trip out yesterday with DD3 SiL & his parents to a reclamation yard & the Exeter trading Hub followed by a BBQ.
I returned home with a decorated Indian water carrier & a vase.🙌
(Today’s a different story - dropped my phone & smashed the protective cover on cobbles, had a tissue incident in a dark wash which subsequently got soaked in a sudden shower & dropped a packet of sugar on the floor 🤦‍♀️)

Just doing nothing much. DH and I have had a hectic few days. Although it is raining, it’s just nice to be home and have a restful day together.

Family have just left after a bbq, even though there were spots of rain and we had blankets out because it was chilly, it was great to catch up.

A lovely lunch today celebrating a friend's 80th birthday which is later this week. The rain showers didn't matter at all.

Got round to defrosting my small freezer - transferred all to my garage freezer. I’ll have to leave a large bath towel underneath the small freezer to soak up all the melting ice . By morning all the ice will be gone - hurrah 😃

I’m a recent widow, Daughter is on holiday. Arranged a lovely lunch for me with a good friend of hers. Much appreciated and much enjoyed.

Feeling well enough to plant a few veggies in raised beds. Have 15 mins on new exercise bike, then do some much needed housework

Just off to the farm for milk

A good day

Had my second shingles jab and had a lovely chat about holidays with the nurse.

Making another two hand- made summer tops from stash and then sorting my sewing room. A lovely project on a dull day

That buying Rice Cooker was a purchase I should have made sooner!

Had my second shingles jab and had a lovely chat about holidays with the nurse.

Hello Kate!
I didn’t know we could hava second one. What is the interval needed between them?

Checked my Robins nest after the heavy rain we’ve had and was delighted to find that the eggs had hatched and there was at least one baby in the nest. All work on the garden has been cancelled till they’ve safely fledged.

Hello Bellanonna. Sorry I've only just seen this. I hope you are well. Re the shingles jab. The nurse told me that if you had the original jab you only need one but with the latest vaccine you need two.

The first glass of milk in the morning with breakfast!

I'm obsessed with plant-based milks like Alpro's nutty almond, etc.!

It's cloudy this morning and such a relief after yesterday's heat.
I need to shop for a birthday present for a grandchild today,
something I enjoy doing.

Harvesting my tomatoes this morning which I grew from the seeds of M&S cherry tomatoes.Honestly didn’t have much hope for them, in pots but due to the heat have been great.
