That’s lovely Kittylester . I hope she had a lovely day.

In our village a gentleman is going to be 90 tomorrow. Without him knowing , at 6pm his wife is somehow going to get him to the front garden and the villagers are going to be there to sing him Happy Birthday, arranged on the local FB page by his neighbour.

Warms the cockles.

My DGS had his 5th birthday last week. Prior to that I had been sending recordings of me reading Peter Pan, which he loves. He woke on his birthday to find a Peter Pan outfit at the bottom of his bed, his Mum dressed as Wendy, his big sister as Tinkerbell, and Dad as Captain Hook, complete with hook on his hand - made from a flower pot and the top of a coat hanger! There was a treasure map, which was authentically old-looking, on his bed and his sister helped him to follow it to the shed, where a chest contained his presents. They stayed in theme all day and he had a zoom Peter Pan party. I was so impressed with the ingenuity that went into it all.

Lovely stories. People can be so nice ?

People are generally inherently kind
It's heartwarming, isn't it?

Good to hear there are caring people out there.

What a thoughtful gesture. It doesn’t take a lot to give someone cheer does it?

How lovely for the birthday dudes. Well done, kind people!

On my birthday on Thursday after clapping for the NHS, my neighbours all started singing, Happy Birthday to me. It was the perfect end to a strangely perfect day! smile

That is lovely Kitty
Eldest DGS was 10 last Tuesday and his friends all contributed a piece of bunting with a message or picture on it for his birthday bunting.
He had a Zoom “party” with his friends and a sleep out in the garden with his Daddy and younger brother and sister - and pronounced it “the best birthday ever” !

What an uplifting thread, Kitty. smile

So lovely!

That's a lovely thought.

I must say that I haven't met with any hostilities or anything unkind, on the contrary I've had shopping done for me today with a good stock of cat food into the bargain.

That's very kind. Thankfully, there are some good people about.

That is lovely kitty and as you say, people are very kind in general.
There’s a lot more good in people, than bad and that’s for sure.

As some of you may know, DS1 is disabled and lives, with his cat, in an adapted flat in our small town.

Today he got a photo of his cat posted through his door by someone asking if the cat was his as they knew the owner was disabled and wondered if he needed any help with the cat or anything else.

And, DGD2 Eloise is 9 today and not able to have a party etc. When she opened her curtains this morning she was met by this in the window of the house opposite.
