What made you happy today?

I’ve had a nice day today, despite not feeling 100%. Went for a nice walk in the state forest this morning with Cappa. And we came across some beehives.
Then popped out to food shop and went to the garden centre, so when we came back I tidied up our pallet garden on the decking and planted a few things..

Today I'm happy that I went to the dentist for a scale and polish, I hate going to the dentist because my teeth and gums are in an awful state but afterwards I feel very grown up and empowered for being brave enough to go and having shiny clean teeth!
 
We have a 2006 Jazz still going strong. Brilliant car.
Japanese cars have a much higher standard on quality control compared with non Japanese car makers. Look around, notice taxi driver, or deliverie driver for pizza and kebab shops always use either Toyota yaris, Toyota aygo, Nissan micra or the Honda jazz.

Then look and see how many corsas and other non jap cars you see on the road still of the same age... Not many they are all in scrap yards
 
It’s our wedding anniversary today so when it stopped raining and sleeting and the sun shone we went for a lovely coastal walk. But cold and windy- certainly blew all the cobwebs away.
Also built up an appetite as we’re off to a lovely Thai restaurant for a meal this evening.

I met a friend for lunch and a catch up. It was lovely. She’s had a very tough few years and it’s good to see how this year she has adopted such a positive attitude to moving forwards. We talked for hours and the food was excellent!

I went Thursday and had the same. I wish they did those stickers for us adults recognising that it’s been a real trauma for us but that we have been brave.

That's a really neat way to re-use a pallet - I'll bear that in mind if I want to put some plants up against a wall in the future 👍 👍

A couple of years ago I got 5 pallets from a building site and used them to make a double-bay compost store - I nailed old half-planks across the gaps, filled the middles with old loft insulation and cardboard, and covered the top with an old carpet, some 40 year old plastic sheeting and then corrugated perspex. It was all 'repurposed' or old stuff, except for some nails and a tin of blue paint to make it look nice 😎

I love re using items to make different items. I have an old oil barrel for a plant pot on my front kind of garden, I cut the top out and put drainage holes in the bottom and then sanded the paint off the barrel to make it rust. Looks alright 👌
 
The fear came after one kicked my brother but luckily both rear hooves hit his bike handlebars and not his face and then one kicked out at me when I was visiting my ex gfs horses
I'm scared of horses too but really wish I wasn't as there are several out the back of our house. I was once thrown from a horse when a so called friend of mine took me out on one of their horses and slapped it's behind for a joke. It reared up & threw me off backwards & I was terribly winded. I was only 14 and it frightened me to death 😥.

This is MrA giving up his Sunday morning lie in to help with a bird that had fallen down our chimney and got stuck half way. When the usual methods of enticing said bird downwards failed, he improvised with a cushion attached to a set of drain rods to push the bird up the chimney back to the pot and then out. I watched from outside and observed one lucky jackdaw emerging from the chimney and flying off to join its flock.
Incidentally the collective noun for a group of jackdaws is a clattering. Very apt if you’d heard the one in our chimney.
