What made you happy today?

What made me happy today is quite a small thing but definitely worth mentioning - the sun has come out! It’s been a lovely day - cold, as to be expected in February, but the bright blue skies have really made me feel very relaxed and just upbeat in general. :)
 
Yesterday I had my first lead zoom with a (very) small group of children. It went well and they all understood and did well! I was a bag of nerves but got over it as I went. Some technical issues as it was my first time leading a zoom.

And today the below made me very happy. A few days early but what the heck. From my sister, niece and nephew 😍😍😍😍C512F42B-545E-4A27-9C31-55A2E183BCAE.webp
 
I now have an electric piano - Roland HP704 - which cost a fortune. But plays like a piano. I had to give away my real piano because arthritis in my thumbs made pressing the keys too difficult. An electric piano has a much more delicate action, so I can actually play it. On the other hand, it took me years to save up for it so I haven't played in a very long time......murdering Mozart and brutalising Bach.....lovely fun!

I'm already there! I'm surprised I'm still awake having woken up at 3am and was baking flapjacks at 4.15 this morning!

Haha not a chance. She's teething again. We've had two very good night's sleep and then last night was a few extra wake ups. Today she is biting absolutely everything and clearly in discomfort. So far so good though. I feel a bit under the weather today so could just do with a good night's sleep myself

Hope you get a good stretch in. Get to bed early.

Already there but current state is to instantly be wide awake as I'm so used to her waking for a feed between 9 & 10 🤦‍♀️

Oh no! 😬 well I hope you doze off soon. If it’s any consolation, I can’t sleep if I can hear mine talking. Even when I was tired from working a night. My husband can sleep through their noise!

Happy Birthday! 🎉 🎁
Hope you've had a great day? :luv:

You share your birthday with another Valentines baby 💞 - it's my Brothers birthday today too!

I've had a lovely day today-a few things to make me happy...

I was driving into work this morning about 7am & ended up driving along side a beautiful, big, barn owl - it was flying right beside me (about 2ft away) for about a minute, parallel to the hedge&car at head height, it flew just across in front of me, then changed to the other side of my car for about 45 seconds, then up over the hedge & out of sight. I would have loved to have had footage of that. It was amazing! 🦉
Elegance in the sky! ♥

A wonderful friend & work colleague knew my birthday was in the not so distant past, so decided to surprise me with a home decorated cake.
This was the first time I'd seen her since my birthday.
This is her first attempt at a guinea pig birthday cake...

I love it, its amazing ❤️❤️🍰🐹

I think the piggy theme was picked up on from a few presents/cards..
Crazy guinea pig lady Apron...
Guinea pig socks (for me-not them).
&the other love of my life a cushion with my dog printed on it, a dog book, plus a few other lovely presents.
