What made you happy today?

Went to shops to get my wife's inhaler with her. Came back out, car battery died.

I pushed the car whilst my wife in the driving seat, to bump start it, couldn't get enough force behind the car on my own. But 2 men ran over to help and we got it started. That made me happy, I thought no one would help because of social distancing.

Don't run your car with the air con on if you have had it sitting around alot lately or just been doing short journeys because of lockdown. 😂🤪
 
Today is the day that lockdown rules maybe relaxed in Scotland. All going well I will be able to meet 'one household' outside from tomorrow. I actually cannot wait to see my parents and the family dog. It has been 13 long weeks since I last saw them, I have a day off and it'll be 24 degrees. 😁🔥
 
My eldest daughter stopped biting her nails (and the skin around her fingertips). It was her own decision and I’m so proud of her. I’d started using that stuff you put on to stop them. Once she put it on herself. And then it seems she stopped. Which means she’s not putting her fingers in her mouth anymore! Next is to stop (sort of) sucking her tongue 💃 😆

I’ll paint her nails tomorrow.

My mum bites her up to now, and both of my brothers used to. I don’t know if they still do. And one of my sisters bites here if they get too long. I’ve never really bitten mine. I only do it if it’s breaking off or it’s got a jagged edge. Very rarely though!

you can try the nail biting stuff. My daughter said it’s bitter 🤣

I used to bite mine years ago but stopped and now bite the skin around my nails sometimes.

That’s what she was doing in addition to the nails! Looked painful and grim! I wonder if it was nervousness...

I have horrific memories of my mum making me have that stuff on my nails when I was younger I don't think I could bring myself to use it again. I can't believe she chose to have it, she's braver than me!

Being able to do a WhatsApp chat with my brother and sister this morning.
It’s nice to be able to talk together even if getting together isn’t possible

I rang my dad the other week when I was early for an appointment again (I keep expecting traffic that doesn't currently exist, sigh) and it was great, right up until a goose took offence at thin air and got very angry, and of course that set off all the other geese on the canal. I was laughing my head off and he was asking if I was safe, he could hear the angry honking down the phone lol.
 
Well, I wasn't expecting a second thing today, but one of the other residents told me just now that a guy from the next building over - that I only met for the first time yesterday - said that I was very polite, a lovely person, and very well educated.

I mean I'm not sure exactly how accurate that actually is, but...:whistle:

Hey, take all the compliments you can get!

we’ve been out for a walk and I think the kids will sleep earlier today! My feet are tired as well, but it was nice. Breezy and warm in one. And I got in all my exercise for the day according to my watch 😁

I apologise if that reaction emoji seems inappropriate, but the "like" seems a little impersonal considering the subject. Hope you're doing alright, that's what matters.

No its fine. I run into the problems aswell lol. Thankyou 😁👍
 
I managed to rescue a little sparrow out of the greenhouse this afternoon. The door was open but he obviously panicked as I approached. He was flapping about in there and it was very hot. Caught him in my hands and off he flew!
 
I had a double sided jigsaw puzzle that my parents bought me when I was younger - must have been early teens. Anyway I've not forgotten it and have been searching for it the past week. I FOUND IT TODAY AND HAVE ORDERED IT! I'm so excited it's ridiculous :yahoo::love::drool::woot::sly::luv::wub::beer::lol!: Imagine getting so excited about a puzzle 🤣🤪 Below is the link to it if anyone is interested.

Jigsaw puzzles are the best thing ever, seriously.

Edit: I accidentally managed to donate one to the Potteries for one of their auctions once. :whistle:

Well I'd done one and there was a piece missing. I searched everywhere and finally decided it couldn't have been in the box, so I emailed the company I bought it from and they sent me out another puzzle, brand new.

Then the missing piece turned up under a towel in the bathroom. Whoops.

Haha nice one!
 
I was too embarrassed to email them again because they'd already sent out the replacement, which was the bag of pieces (unopened) but no box. So I put the unopened bag of pieces into the box I'd had and donated it. And made a mental note to check the bathroom too, next time. :))

What a random place for it to end up!
 
I didn't check there because, well, why would it be there? Lesson learned for next time, check everywhere!
