In these testing times good to find reasons to smile...
Today my DGDs have an INSET day..at 9:00 I got a WhatsApp message from DGD1 asking for my recipe for chocolate sauce! I hope the kitchen is clean by the time DD gets home ?

These.

The flowers are from the garden and the cat was just sitting in the middle of the lounge floor. It is ours!!

The two bras I ordered arrived today and, miracle of miracles, they both fit and are COMFORTABLE! Unheard of before and definitely made me smile.

I bought a frying pan that was supposed to be twenty pounds and went through the till at fifteen! Priced up wrongly apparently!

I smiled at a text from my son with the good news that I had been waiting for.

2 of the most engaging, funny and charming young men I've ever supported today.

They never fail to make my day in one way or another.

The incessant rain we have had recently made the waterfall in the country park even more lovely this morning.

Ham and cheese toasted sandwich on sour dough bread in the M&S cafe.

Always took eating out for granted and now it becomes the highlight of the week.

FaceTime call with DGD4 to wish her a happy 5th birthday and saying hello to her two older sisters in the background. Lovely to hear them say 'Hello Nanny'.

Me neither BlueBelle!?
After a bit of research I discovered they were goose neck barnacles, a real delicacy and very expensive.

Ellianne Fri 09-Oct-20 19:43:36

They looked like aliens to me BlueBelle. Even our dog gave them a wide berth. If I'd known I'd have dropped them in to Rick Stein's restaurant to make my fortune.

My 3 year old grandson asking me if I would knit him a fish (he has one of mine already). 'Of course,' I said. He handed me a ball of my wool, snuggled up next to me in anticipation and said, 'Now!'

Then we realise just how tired we are today!!!
