What made you happy today?

Well done Jessica ☺️ Long May it continue. My youngest struggled with leaving me...when she was 3 and started nursery. Crying and holding on for dear life. That was difficult for me but I knew it was important in wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

I got my glasses after years of being stubborn. It’s amazing being able to see properly again

I was like that the first time I wore glasses! I didn't realise I have bad eyes until the day I had my driving test (surprisingly I passed!). The moment I wore my glasses, I told hubby, "Wow! Everything is clear and it's not gloomy outside!" 😂😂😂
 
I got enough turf off-cuts from a skip (with baffled owner's permission, obvs) to re-turf most of my little 'lawn'! 😊 It took numerous runs with the shopping trolley and 4 hours doing a grass jigsaw in occasional hail (seriously) but it was really good quality turf and I am very happy. I have to re-do it every two years as the garden is so small and shady that grass is invaded by moss and liverwort. On the plus side there were a lot more worms than there used to be so we're getting there with the drainage. I pondered building a small 'tellytubby' hill for them to run up and down but it was hard enough doing a 2-D jigsaw. And it's not exactly flat anyway!

There were also some lumps of what looked like slate - around brick size but funny shapes - which they said I could have. Not decided what to do yet - joked to hubs about building a piggy Stonehenge - he's mad for it and wants to see if they'll sport druid wreaths for pigtures. They must have spent a pile on their back garden if these were what they were chucking out. I'd love to see it. From the shape of the off-cuts I'm guessing there's a circular feature... maybe a gravel and slate ornamental or water feature. Teens flat out refused to help raid skip even when I called it real-life 'Minecraft' and said we'd be collecting 'Resources'. Somebody had better have sorted out a card for tomorrow!
 
We have done very little for the past 12 months, so when the girls asked if we could go to an exhibition in Basel I was initially going to say no.
But I didn't, and we went, and had a fabulous mini break, and have returned home feeling very happy and relaxed.
12 months ago I would never have though an overnight trip could seem like such a huge adventure.

Oh wow, that looks totally delicious! What a kind thing to do.
(I'm sure the lack of a card from your piggies was only because non of them could remember the password to order online!)
 
I have a neurologist appointment on the 16th April at a hospital 25 miles and an hours drive away. My dad is thankfully taking me but he took me there today so now I am prepared and know where I’m going on the day so I’m feeling less stressed about it :) I’m also getting my Covid vaccine tomorrow

That's good that you know where you are going. It takes the stress out of it for you and you won't be feeling so anxious. You Dad sounds really understanding. Good old Dad!

Thank you. The hospital is huge so I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find where I was going but I know now. I don’t know where I’d be without my dad! x
 
What a lovely Dad you have @Claire W . I get really stressed having to go anywhere I don't know, worrying about how I will find my way around. Especially if I have an appointment time because I worry I will get lost and be late, it really helps if you can suss it out before you have to go. I hope all goes well for you on the day.

How kind of your dad.
Hope the vaccination goes well tomorrow
 
Had a funny conversation with my daughter tonight.

5 year old: I think today is a guinea pig holiday.
Me: Oh really? What holiday is it?
5: Guinea Pig Christmas!
Me: Why?
5: They decorated their cage with hay and poop everywhere!
Husband: Every day is Guinea Pig Christmas.
Me: :))
