What made you happy today?

Well, my Amazon bulk orders (3 - 4 monthly orders) arrived today. 45 Andrex loo rolls, 300 lotus biscuits and 6 jars of caramel coffee. Happy VickiA
My bulk order of paracetamol and anti histamines (from an online pharmacy) will arrive tomorrow.
 
My parents and I were talking about their dog, Belle, for some reason. She got hit by a car last year and really doesn't like going for a walk anywhere near traffic since, so the whole "go local to walk your dog" thing has been a bit of a problem because she won't do it. So my parents take her to the local forest park because it's where Belle is comfortable going for a walk.
So I don't know how we got onto the subject but Belle is a very stubborn dog. Small, but stubborn. My dad must've said something like "She wasn't always like this" and I had this memory flash that is still making me laugh. They've a shed/summer house in their back garden and I was down there one day several years ago eating a pizza, because it was not worth the stress of trying to eat a pizza with a dog like Belle in the house. Belle wasn't having any of this, and I eventually had to lock the door and close the blinds in the summer house because she was leaping and dancing about like a mad thing. "Where's my pizza? WHERE'S MY PIZZA?!" and I figure that's the end of it.

Turns out she went back up into the house, and annoyed the crap out of my dad to get him to take her somewhere. She brought him down to the back garden. That's right - I wouldn't give her my pizza, so she went into the house to get my dad to make him force me to give her the pizza.

She didn't get the pizza. It had chilli powder all over it.
 
Today I had a cup of tea brought to me in bed by MrA and we sat listening to the birdsong in the woods. Heard the first sounds of the woodpeckers drilling away into the trees.
And it was a day of lovely communication. First I had a virtual coffee morning with elevesies with a group of lovely lady friends. And then I had a fabulous video call with my dear friend @The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue and then a quick video call with my mum and sister (who’s now got what is highly likely to be the virus and isn’t very well).

Aw, hope your sister recoveries quickly x
 
today's not been the happiest day I wanted to go to the supermarket but my fiance is a bit of a rule keeper and didn't want us both to go (I can't go alone for mental health reasons) so I spent the first half of the day crying and the second half of the day with a headache because of all the crying. But my fiance has been amazing he's so sensitive and sweet and he has been so apologetic for upsetting me he even let me have the best bit of garlic bread. there is no one I would rather be stuck in the house with.

A real keeper. I think it’s okay to go together in those circumstances. Here’s hoping tomorrow is a better day for you after a good nights’ sleep 💓

We had a birthday in the house today - one of the children. I was also quite impressed with his RE homework standard. And we had a nice chat on the Houseparty app - three of my sisters and their families, sister-in-law and kids and brother. My mum also finally downloaded the app so we got to see them as well.With coronavirus and the way it’s going it could be a long time before we see them in person ☹️

Definitely a reason to be happy.
Congratulations Gingerbread
 
I’m happy because Scarlet the cat (who is my best bud but rather temperamental with most people!) who belongs to my niece Kara is loving the cat tree I ordered for her and hopefully will stop scratching the hell out of my niece’s bed and getting told off! Slightly neglected at her house with a naughty 4yr old human and a dog that’s all over you so deserved a bit of spoiling! That tongue! :love:

She looks like she's really loving it!
 
Had to wait 45 mins at the pharmacy for my prescription today. But it was sunny, I had a crochet hook and yarn, everyone respected the social distancing, the pharmacy staff were super efficient, as I left they were all coming out 15 mins before closing time with face masks on to get the names & needs of all the people still queueing to make sure everyone was looked after 👏
 
Today my family dropped by to exchange Easter eggs and we had a 15 minute 2 metre apart conversation outside my house. Not sure how strictly this follows social distancing rules but I've missed them so much and it's really lifted my spirits being able to see them face to face for once. Can't wait for this all to be over so I can see them properly and give them so many hugs.
