What made you happy today?

Very happy to say I was wrong! The good bike is back. To cut a long story short our neighbour saw it in someone's garden. He is acquainted with the man who lives there and after checking the description with us he went to see him. The bike was no longer in view but he described it to him and said it had gone missing. Turns out this man's teenage children had it and he returned it to us within 30 minutes of the chat saying he found it at a house round the corner. The Dad's main concern was that the boys friends were thieving on their own doorstep! For friends read his sons. He has also 'kindly' said he will look out for the other bike.

Great news! Well done to your eagle-eyed neighbour for finding and retrieving it 👏
 
We watched the last hour too. Hubs was delighted the Queen chose a green outfit. He works with computers and says that shade of green will 'greenscreen' really well and that people have come up with some very novel patterns and pics to superimpose on her frock in the past. I bet she knows too!

Glad she made it to the balcony 👑
 
Not just today, lots of days recently. The starlings, about 10 of them arrive every morning for a bath in the shallow dish we put out for the birds. They queue up ever so patiently waiting their turn for a splash about, when they have finished I have to go out and refill it.
They make a lot of noise and mess down the garden chair and fence but their excitement is delightful to see. They also kept slug damage in the veg patch to a minimum this year, once they finish bathing they go for breakfast.
 
You ever have those moments of " :doh: :)) "? I changed my profile picture. Then forgot I changed my profile picture. Then got confused as to who was using my name on the forum. Then was confused because "I wrote that pos....oh".

I'm not fit to be left alone, lol.

Edit: Oh and I recounted. 830+5 braids.

The plan was never to sell them but to donate them, but to do that I have to get the jewellery findings on them and...well, the braiding's the easier part, lol. Should I ever manage to get my backside in gear I was thinking of donating them to a rescue if they'll have them. It's just that I never seem to finish the whole thing.

I do have some with the findings on though. Like...10.

New haybox soft Timothy hay arrival and subsequent approval by two happy ladies 🥰

Mine arrived yesterday; I found that the cut of meadow hay was particularly good this time! It smells amazing and the piggies are delighted with it - they had made meadow hay tunnels not long after I put it in. The timothy hay they had gobbled in no time! 😂

I’ve been at a conference this week, in Blackpool
Long work days but it was excellent. Caught up with some old friends, made new ones and had some very useful conversations.
The bonus was a 4th floor room looking out to sea.

Nice!
 
I saw a wild rabbit munching on hay when I dropped my daughter to the childminder this morning. She saw it first but it took me a while to spot it! I also saw my parents for the last time before they go back home.

I feel I have lots of support with my teaching. An amazing TA and blessed to have two mentors who are both fab. I had a meeting with one today and she made it clear that I should never struggle in silence…something I tend to do, which isn’t a good habit.

And the piggies (Toffee in particular) wheeked when I got home a short while ago. When I went out to give them dinner, Fudge was standing on the door and Chanel was stood waiting near the door. Toffee was in the main area waiting. Though he did start chewing on the grid when I took too long…5 seconds 🤨🙄🤪

Are your u a teacher? Me too! What year?
 
I was unable to run the park run I had gone to this morning due to knee pain, so I had a little walk around instead while I waited for my friend to finish. I found a lovely pond where I sat and fed the ducks and swans. Which was nice enough, but I met a pair of absolutely hilarious pigeons who spent their time trying to figure out what I was looking at and diving in front of me when I tried to take pictures. I got a few little photobombs 🤣 and their own little portrait because why not! Lol

My sister has some pet pigeons she adopted from a rescue. She said they are rather hilarious and enjoy their picture taken too.

Yes - been teaching now for about 18 years or so. P5 (8/9 yo). How’s your first year going for you? What’s your class like?

The first year has gone well. It was a bit daunting because these are children starting ‘proper’ school. My class is lovely. I’ve been blessed to have a small class. 17 to start which dwindled down to 14 after some left and some joined.

Lovely! Enjoy that - I have 29 and they have been hard work all year 🤣. Hope you have a lovely second year too!
 
Hubby needed to go help his folks out this morning so me and Jessica went on a quick shopping trip to prepare for potty training. She picked out her own big girl pants, socks, shoes (growth spurt too it would seem) and a new bag for nursery seeing as we won't need to take in her nappies everyday 😬IMG20220611104538.webp

I can't believe how fast Jessica is growing! She's such a beautiful little lady.
