What made you happy today?

[Lorcan]

So I play a lot of No Man's Sky, and a few weeks back I found a very nice ship - it was crashed, which meant that anyone playing a single player game that had the co-ordinates could find the same crashed ship. I went back today to pick it up again (they respawn after a while) and a bunch of other players had left messages saying thank you for the ship. Feels nice to be able to help people

It's raining and watering my brown lawn and filling my water butts.
As long as it only stays around long enough to get the piggies grass growing again I shall be very happy.

My daughter and I potted on most of my chili plants. We spent a glorious hour in the garden sorting them out.
I have way too many this year, and started too late, but I am hoping 40% survive and I can try and over Winter them.
For me one of the big positives to come out of Corona is having this extra time to spend with my teenage kids without all the usual activities and distractions.

My hair is washed and ready to be retightened. I have to do it myself but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
@Merab's Slave I used the bright coloured fabric as a headscarf while at work. I do it if my hair is wet. Probably got a few looks but that’s okay

That does look lovely

That must be due to the rain-dance equivalent I did on Tuesday.
The piggies were out in their run, which is on its last legs. I found some broken bits of wood in the run so decided to try again to order a replacement. This time Home and Roost had them in stock so I quickly ordered one... It then started raining that night!
The piggies haven't been outside since, but the new run arrived today. The rain here is only drizzle though, so not really enough for the garden 🌦

I'm getting cold, damp air coming through the windows. It's glorious.

Also I ordered myself pizza because I was hungry. I'll regret it later but for now, pizza.

You are not alone in the rain dance. Having solved the financial crisis I was in I decided to treat the boys so I just ordered 2 new runs and a runaround door and tube set. I won two tube sets last year as the result of a survey but with 3 pairs of boars loving this system but having to share I decided to treat them and replace two of my ancient, tied together with cable ties runs.

Have you got the new ones yet, or still awaiting delivery? It would be lovely to see some pics of your boys enjoying them (when the sun comes out again!)

 

[piggieminder]

Still waiting for them to arrive. There are some photos of the run set ups on here somewhere from last year. I have a new lap top with a new system and I can't work photos at all yet. I transferred all the old photos over and it didn't work properly, half of them are blank, they won't delete and it's driving me mad. The new runs will be the same set ups as the old ones.

I have completed my first week back at school, well I say week, only working mornings and not Fridays so school can be deep cleaned. Still it is working and currently beats homeschooling my 13yr boy child

Glad to learn that, well done and thank you. I have no children or grandchildren but I sincerely appreciate what you are doing. A lot of those attending will reflect back when they’re older and really appreciate the effort

Saw a couple if squirrels while out walking today. Managed a photo before one disappeared into the undergrowth and one up the tree. A lovely sight.

Thank you, that's a really kind thing to say, I'm by no means as important as our healthcare and many more etc but I guess it's still important.

Haha glad to hear it!

 

[piggieminder]

Thank goodness for that @Merab's Slave I wondered how you were getting on, so pleased to hear you won't need an operation to remove it.

 

[Merab]

Made it out for a walk today.
It’s a beautiful evening

As an autistic, dyslexic, epileptic with anxiety and depression I'd like to dispute the word "wrong" may I suggest "different" or "challenges" also well done on your shower I tend to be able to motivate myself to get into the bath but not to get out again I just sit there for ages.

 

[piggieminder]

I'm with you on that one @Sweet Potato I spend ages just lying in the bath thinking about getting out.

I totally agree, as an epileptic with anxiety and depression too, just gives us more to talk about (don’t know if that’s a good thing on my part ) with our varied minds, not wrong!

 

[Siikibam]

My puzzle is here! and I’m seeing pieces and remembering I’ve ordered a port a puzzle as the rolling thing doesn’t work for me. But I’m going to start on it as it’s not due to arrive till Friday at the earliest ☹

Today my Guinea pigs moved into their c and c cage which is what I have always wanted their both in a 3 time 4 I am so happy for them and I love it much better then their biggish store bought cage. Over time of having Guinea pigs I have learnt so much about them and will always continue learning there such amazing animals.

 

[Sweet Potato]

not had the best day the special school for children with autism and behaviour needs that I work at has had to shut because we have a suspected covid case meaning that we are no longer able to offer the support and care for the children that really need it, months of progress in bonding and settling children in will be set back and I'm not sure if I'll get paid as agency staff. so my happy thing for today is just that I had a very nice nap for most of the afternoon.

I remember when I first moved my boys into a c&c cage it's such a good feeling

I agree with the use of language - it’s not ‘wrong’ it’s different.

Just love the views from my walk today.
