What made you happy today?

I made bread! Been watching Bake Off reruns during my recovery and thought I'd give it a go. It's fresh out the oven so it still has to pass the taste test. It has a hollow sound though and looks right - so far so good and fingers crossed for the eating 😁🍞

Looks good.
If you need a taste tester I volunteer :D
 
Well, what a week it’s been. 2 funerals, a 2 day course and the invasion of Ukraine have all taken their toll on my psyche. But today after 2 years of waiting someone came to measure up for replacement double glazed panels that have blown. (It’s not the company’s fault - these were in MrA’s “to do” list but just never got done..) Anyhow, the mere arrival of the cavalry was enough to cheer me up, but it was what was written on the order form that really did the trick. The location of one is described as “Guinea pig room”. Priceless!
 
The weather made me happy today. Beautiful blue sky and sunshine, warmer than some days last summer! I went outside before breakfast to hang out the washing and to see what I could do to tidy the garden later and came back inside at 4.30 pm! We have a green bin full of weeds and the garden is beginning to look almost presentable. I love days like this.
 
I managed to take some photos and transfer them to the (new) lap top (only had it since last April!). The method is completely different to the old system and I kept putting off trying it after it went horribly wrong the first time. Will try to get some updated piggie pictures soon, beware Piglington spam could be on the way. I just have to remember how I did it now. :))
 
On the phone with the bank, on hold for over half an hour only to be told there wasn't actually an issue, I was just a moron who forgot to hit a button (my words, not theirs!). Why am I happy about this? Because when I was on the phone to the bank, in the other room, the boys started yelling and when I popped my head in to ask what gives, they responded by wheeking loud enough to be heard over the phone.

It's still not dinner time til 6pm :flag::))

I bought a few noodle hand mitts for car cleaning & put them under the pigloos out on the lawn, they all like settling down on them & it keeps Tiggy's long hair from getting all wet'n' widdly on her big bottie end.
Handy to dry off piggies after bum baths or full baths, it absorbs the wet off of their undercarriage too :wub:


Well done son no 1, hope you didn't turn up with a hangover on your first day? :beer:

What made me happy was actually yesterday, but... I was going out to the car, I opened the front door 4pm'ish& there was a big deers 🦌 bum end view on the verge opposite.... Slowly pushed door together, dropped contents I was holding in my arms, opened door taking phone out of pocket to see ones arse disappear into hedge & another staring straight back at me 👀 ... Not sure who was most surprised! ☺

Only managed a rubbish photo blurred arseend.. Next door was in her car & got it on video apparently, would love to see it 🦌
You can just see the top of my front hedge & the deers bottie In the hole in the field's hedge :DView attachment 196432

Well a few things made me happy today, it was my day off :clap:
The new neighbour who was causing frustrations with her parking has turned out to be quite likeable (odd & eccentric but that's ok :) )
She showed me the film she took of the deer 🦌 out the front last week, she was sat in her car, her pics are far better than mine. I scrabbled for my phone when I realised they were outside the front door! Screenshot_20220302-190551.webp

The bullfinch was feeding in the garden again & a pair of beautiful buzzards were soaring overhead this afternoon.

Yesterday rather than today, but we went into York and as I still wear a mask in shops I was wearing one of the guinea pig masks.
It makes people smile 😊 and then they start talking.
In one shop I ended up talking piggy to the assistant who also has a piggy.
I talked about the forum and how helpful I’d found it.
She rescued a boar with behaviour issues and it was so lovely to hear how much she care for him.
We looked at photos too.
It was a lovely conversation and there were other comments about a mask that makes people smile.
 
1 - I can hear the zoomies in the other room. This is why I put paper in your cage, boys, you can't hide this stuff from me!

2 - That moment of pause before the "wait what" when you tell someone you gave the guinea pigs the bigger bedroom.

3 - Marmite in a green Pot Noodle was a great idea.
