While out in town today I had a brief sit down along with various other shoppers of all ages and races. An elderly man dropped a coin under the bench and a young African man leapt into action, ,crawling under the seat to retrieve it for him, then smiled broadly at us all and wished everyone a happy day before heading off. It really lifted my spirits.

The swan that has been sitting on her nest for ages looking more & more droopy, was out on the lake with her mate and SEVEN cygnets this morning & looking very satisfied.

Hearing our just 4 year old DGS laugh as he rode his two wheel bike for the first time.
For a while he wouldn’t try it as he said the pedals were in the wrong place.
He was used to the pedals being on the front wheel of his trike.

Just getting my feet done! All hard skin gone, cuticles removed, nails trimmed and painted and they feel heavenly.

Where's my picture? Sigh. .

I often get either no image or image on the way like you did.
The view was worth waiting for.😁

Met our newest great grandson for the first time today. He is gorgeous, cuddly and lovely. No bias of course !

A lazy day. Stuff to do really but I’m ignoring it.
