What made you happy today?

Honestly Jamie had left a tea towel on top of it after mopping up whatever water was there again before he left. He was here to do a visit but I needed sleep lol, so he just took the photos. I discovered the tea towel about half an hour ago, frozen to the top of the fridge freezer. WHY, haha.
 
I forgot to post this yesterday but let’s pretend it was today, or just what made me happy yesterday lol.
I was driving along to go and feed someone’s cat. And on the way I noticed a cow laying down in a paddock, then I noticed 2 little feet poking out. Mumma cow was giving birth, so I span around. Pulled up and turned my car off (so not to disturb her). And watched for about 25 minutes her giving birth. It was so lovely (and stressful!) to watch, When baby finally came out mum had a good 5-10 minute rest until baby started moving and mooing which prompted her to get up and greet her new calf. So sweet! I drove off as mum was cleaning the baby. 4 hours later I drove by and baby was up and drinking :luv:
Really hope Mum and Baby get to stay together for more than a few days. There are other older calf’s in the paddock so let’s hope :)

Me! I made me happy!

I made two fleeces and they are wicking! Then my new polar, anti pill arrived just when I got home from work 😁. Waiting on my new Zorb now, to get cracking!

My brother and I exchanged Contracts yesterday on our Late Mum's house. We were renting it out but as its a 300 year old cottage it needed a lot of expensive maintenance on it to get it up to the new renting standard.

Congratulations, hope the rest of the sale process runs smoothly - and that you got a good price for the property too.
300 year old houses do look lovely mostly - but they are definitely expensive to maintain.
 
Reading this in Richard Osman’s book - The Man who died Twice

” There is an animal rescue centre just across the border in Sussex, and they have all sorts there. The usual cats and dogs, but then also donkeys and rabbits and guinea pigs. I’ve never thought that a guinea pig might need rescuing before, but I suppose they do. We all need it once in a while, and I don’t see why guinea pigs would be any different.”

I was buying some fleece bedding yesterday and was telling the guy what it was for. Then he came out with a story the just made me cringe and roll my eyes -

“My daughter goes to ……. School. They have ONE GUINEAPIG 🙄. The children get to take it in turns to BRING IT HOME 🙄. Are they all so TIMID? “ he asked “This one doesn’t seem to like being touched.”

…. I respectfully reason and give the guineapigs side of things….

“Oh so maybe they’re not an ideal class pet then.”
“No they are really not.”

😢

I won a sort-of quiz last night. I'm not quite sure how because I zoned out sort of...mid announcement, then they said my name and I was like uh...

Still, it adds up to a free bottle of vape juice. Free stuff is free stuff!

Happy days!
 
I can do a very small intro about myself in Japanese (written faster than speaking). I can say hello, how are you. My name, what language I can speak, my job, what time I wake up every day and what I drink every morning. I know it’s not much but given the complexity of the language, I am proud of myself 😁

And I was listening to a Danish podcast the other day and could pick out more than 2 words in a row that I could understand.

I'm reading that too, that part made me smile. ☺️
 
We went to Lytham Saint Anne's today to visit my brother. I'm happy because I didn't have a funny turn and we had a lovely day. The last two times we have been (July 2021 and September 2021) I've had a funny turn and ruined the visit as we've had to come home early. I'm also happy as Edward has just done two poos. They were wetter and thinner than normal but he's pooed. He currently has a dental problem going on, going to try and get him in to the vets tomorrow

I’m glad you had a lovely time Claire 🙃
 
HAY BOX DELIVERY! Why is fresh hay so exciting?! I don’t even eat it! 🤣🤣. So they got their usual soft Timothy hay and a free sample of a mix, a coarse cut Timothy and some nice soft meadow hay. The meadow hay would make nice bedding hay and I think I’ll stick with the soft cut for feeding. Not only but ALSO …. I ordered hard pressed hay disks which they are nibbling at occasionally. Loving Hay Box - their hay is really good stuff! Two very happy piggies surrounded by their different choices! They are quite the connisures 😁 Can’t spell that!
 
Politics aside, the faces of the kids visiting the Houses of Parliament today when everything hit the fan made us laugh out loud. What a day to go on your school trip! People dashing about everywhere pulling their hair out and news cameras around every corner...

Daughter went to the HoP in junior school and they do a guided tour. I didn't even realise they let school trips in until that point. Do you know where my junior school took us? Stoke Bardolph sewage treatment works. Aaah, the good old days!

Calvert landfill is my favourite school trip from primary school 😂 We even got free branded stationery! Other notable outings included the outside of an open prison and a local field, but we didn't get any swag on those...

We went to a sewage treatment plant too!
I do remember a school trip to Avebury though. It was great fun exploring the stone circle and then the West Kennet Long Barrow. We were allowed to climb Silbury hill too. You can’t do that anymore
 
I remember going to the local Police Station for a school trip. They gave us a demonstration of the Police Dogs and I had my finger print taken which I brought home and showed my Mum and Dad.
