What made you happy today?

[piggieminder]

I hope you feel better when you wake up.
What's a carrot cottage for if not to demolish it.

This.
Out of context nothing special.
In context - this is day 8 of isolating with Covid 19 in my bedroom and still testing positive. And this has appeared - complete with Terry’s chocolate Orange inside left over from Christmas. Might just get me through these last few days.
I’m planning to go for a midnight walk round our estate Sunday night/ Monday morning once I’m officially allowed out again.

 

[weepweeps]

A few things to be happy about!
My water leak is hopefully fixed, which was apparently losing roughly 60 litres per hour () in my front garden! New taps and shiny pipes in kitchen too as mine were a state!
I’m Covid free! And thankfully my nephew’s symptoms are quite mild.
And I had a nasty seizure yest, woke up with a fat lip and a nice chunk missing I’d bitten having it (unless Daisy was taking some anger out on me in the night! ), felt like Then got a phone call from my mum saying she was on her way to town to pick up my meds and asking what veg the pigs needed, she was coming for a visit! Her first in blooming ages, so finally met and had cuddles with Lolo, Jasper and Cleo!
She even finally saw the sharkpig in action, my jumper got the beating rather than flesh though! Think she was a bit scared to hold her after all she’s heard, but as always Cleo saved it all for me and was with her!

Hope you’re feeling better now.

Milk or plain chocolate?
Loving the Rudolph cover

Just think... Its all to yourself too, nobody's going to want to come in to share it

Get well soon & hope you're not feeling too bad, fingers crossed for a negative result ASAP.
Enjoy your walk Sunday
Healing vibes from the girls & I. Xx

Hope you’re feeling better now.

Much better thanks! And don’t look like I’ve been in a punch up anymore now my lip’s gone down a bit! Managed both cage cleans too (but had to nap for 3 hours afterwards!)!

Hope you enjoy your Chocolate Orange @VickiA x

Sounds like a mini crisis!
Hope you're feeling better now?

My goodness 60 lph! That's a LOT of water for your garden to soak up! Do you have lots of successful marsh plants?

Hope you had a lovely time with your mum, even if your jumper was ruined
Naughty Lolo!

Hope you recover quickly.
Healing vibes for you too!
Love the girls & I. Xx

It’s milk chocolate. Plain would have been better but I’m so blooming thrilled to have a treat to help me weather these last few tedious days.

Lips always look spectacular if you knock or bite them. Hope it’s not too sore x

Haha yes it’s felt like one at times! Thank you!
It’s definitely kept me up at night thinking of all that wasted water, useless beggars have taken so long to deal with it so really hoping it’s all sorted now! No but it looks like a foul brown swamp out there atm!

Lolo was a little angel (think she quite liked my mum as she came with coriander so was lovely!) but yup, Cleo is a bitey, clothes-destroying beast!

Thanks to you and the gorgeous girls! xx

Yes I’m good at hurting them and always look blooming horrendous! Thank you x

 

[Claire W]

Sorry about your seizure and lip @alpacasqueak but I’m glad your leak has been fixed, that you’re Covid free and that you saw your mum xx

Hope you feel better soon @VickiA I hope you enjoy your chocolate orange xx

It’s milk chocolate. Plain would have been better but I’m so blooming thrilled to have a treat to help me weather these last few tedious days.

I can't share the plain ones... They're NOT Terry's they ARE MINE!

Enjoy the milk one & as I used to tell my nephew savour the flavour xx

Grandma's good little girly, behaving for the coriander provider extraordinare!

Hope the lip heals quickly xx

I love these two.




Edit: lol sorry I meant to put this on their thread, but at least it's appropriate for here.

Sorry to hear you’re still testing positive.
Hope it turns negative very soon.

An evening out with my husband.
We went for a meal at a local restaurant to celebrate him reaching 60 and paying off the mortgage

Hope you had a lovely meal @Merab's Slave.

Sorry to hear you've succumbed to the dreaded lurgy! Hope you're better and negative soon. If it's any comfort, I tested positive still on day 8/9 even though I felt fine.
I thought I was going to be spending Christmas to New Year tidying my bedroom - which it certainly needed, but didn't get in the end

A fantastic double cause for celebration. Hope you both had a lovely evening x

I needed new jeans. Sort of. See, I own two pairs but both have seams that are beginning to burst, in the same place, which tells me it's probably me and not the jeans themselves lol. Anyway, I always buy the same jeans because I like the style. Decided to test the waters a bit, I've been wearing a 42 waist. Well the 40 waist ones I bought, fit!

Also my neighbours probably think I'm nuts, yelling "It's not dinner time for two hours!" into the other bedroom, because they probably can't hear Camowen's shouts of protest back.

 

[weepweeps]

It’s my mums birthday today. She’s 73 and has dementia. Both my children were around to go and visit her with me. It was a lovely visit.

 

[Betsy]

We took my MIL up to the pub for lunch. It's her favourite pub for a meal and she used to go there all the time with my late FIL. She was very pleased to be back in there it's at least 18 months since she last set foot it the place.

 

[Lorcan]

My mother, who has a habit of referring to my guinea pigs dismissively as "the rodents" said Camowen and Bann were a bit odd looking, but cute. Cute. I actually told her that wasn't what I expected from her, BUT SHE SAID THEY'RE CUTE.

Oh. I don't know why I'm so happy but I am.

It feels so amazing to be able to do some things we took for granted until 2 years ago.... Maybe if nothing else the pandemic will have helped us to really appreciate the small things in life. Tomorrow it's 5 years since my m-i-l passed away, I can't imagine how distressing it would have been if my husband hadn't been able to visit her in her sheltered housing and be by her side in her final hours.

I'm happy - and mightily relieved - today, because I was flying solo running my church's audio-visual and streaming system for services yesterday ( a Mothers' Union commissioning service) and today (main Sunday service) and it all went reasonably to plan. I'm always so nervous when running the system, there's so much that could go wrong and I don't really understand the technical setup enough if things don't work properly. Also if I blunder it is there for all posterity on YouTube and FaceBook . But, it all worked, and now I can relax - until the next time

My anxiousness this morning wasn't helped by my repose last night being broken twice - once when my son came home unexpectedly, blotto as usual, and I had to get up and let him in, then later when he wanted to borrow my husband's Iphone so he could try to find his own one. Humour was injected into the otherwise irritating situation this morning though when I found his phone in the fridge

I once put my keys in the fridge…and I wasn’t blotto

The other day I saw deer…well two deer butts disappearing into the bush. The route to work is one for them and I hadn’t seen them in a good while. I also managed to make it Through the week with some/no TA support. The children were absolutely fabulous as well.

And today what made me happy is that I had to print some things but didn’t want to pull out my laptop. So I did it on my iPad - remote access

Hope your mum had a lovely birthday! Glad you all had a lovely visit together x

Well done
That level tech always scares me - I haven’t got a clue.
I guess the fridge is as good a place as any to put a phone

Went to the tip this afternoon in between rain showers.
One lady saw I had an armful of bubble wrap and asked if she could have it. She was moving house and it would come in useful for wrapping plates. She went off happy.

Then the gentleman in a white van behind me came and offered to take the pile of flattened hay boxes out my car and to the right skip.

People are so kind.
Either that or I have developed the helpless old lady look to perfection

I can’t wait to get that look and everyone will help me too.
