What made you happy today?

Great day today.
It began with a message from my hairdresser to say she’s opening on 6th July and will fit me in that week. I was due to go the week after lockdown started :yahoo:
Went for a lovely long walk through the woods - so peaceful and relaxing.
Cage cleaned out and a carload of piggy waste taken to the tip.
 
I taught my piggy a trick and was surprised at how smart they are( rescued two about a month ago never had them before ) and they learn like as quick as dogs do lol! :) but now she stands up on her hind legs and begs for treats so I cant say no and have to keep veggies on hand in case xD

You created a monster 🤣
 
My daughter had a school photography assignment and wanted to go to the lake to do it.
Even better was that when we got there she took herself off with the camera and left me to sit in the sun and drink coffee.
This lake is my happy place, so I am always glad to have a reason to go there.

What lake is it @Swissgreys it's beautiful!
 
My greenhouse looks like a proper greenhouse with plants growing in it! For the last 4 years it's been a dumping ground, which is kind of how it was inherited but during this time at home I've sorted and thrown stuff out and today I finished planting up my cucumbers and tomatoes and outside we created a veg patch and things are growing! I'm no gardener but I'm proud of what I have achieved.

That’s impressive @Spaghetti & Noodles - makes my efforts look pretty lame.
However the rocket has grown and, more importantly, passed the piggy consumption test

@Merab's Slave thank you, that's kind of to l you to say, it's been hard work! Four years ago we moved in and nothing had been done for a long time before that, my FIL had Alzheimer's so the garden suffered too, well parts of it, he used to do the same job every day for days then do a different one, then the house stood empty for a year before it became ours, gardening isn't my thing, I like looking at them and sitting in them, the actual planting etc hasn't really been in my things to do, but to fill some time over the last few weeks I thought why not give it a go, it's been my escape from home schooling! Whilst things are growing currently it's whether I can keep it going, it's a standing joke in our house that I bring plants home to die!
 
The poorly goldfish in my pond is looking a lot better today. Looks like his anti fungal is working, hopefully we can save him and the fungal hasn't spread to any of the others. We call them the wet guinea pigs, always begging for food when anyone passes the pond.

That’s great news, so pleased it’s working! Haha yeah I call Arnie my goldfish-pig :))
 
Today successful nail trims made me happy! My last attempt on 5th May neither me nor the piggies were very relaxed so it was a bit of a fail with Clover, Piggle and Puggle all squealing and biting me before I could do all their front toes... but today we were all very chilled out with a big bunch of waitrose curly parsley and no stress or hurry so I trimmed 84 piggy nails and only one bled when Piggle lunged and wiggled and sunk her teeth into my wrist just as I was cutting! I think I bled more than Piggle which is fair enough really, no pig likes their nails doing... and bigpig Clover was an absolute angel although nail trims terrify her, she got double parsley and lots of kisses on her big floppy ears for being so brave and I'm very happy that she trusts me so much now I can mess with her feetsies and she's ok with it :)
 
Well can’t get a great pic as they’re teeny (and the Rainbowfish are feeling left out :doh:) but thankfully still got four little Red Lizard (or whiptail) catfish babies plodding around! No losses last night or today so far! 🤞🤞

That’s Bo, the hair munching Rainbow :D:))
 
Thanks to his adorable new habit of putting his paws up on the bars of the cage when anyone comes past, I found out that exactly half of Eddie's tummy is ginger and the other half is black much like his nose. I don't have a picture of his tummy yet but here's one of his nose. He's such a handsome boy ❤️

Snap! I’ve got a ginger/black piggy who’s chin/throat is split half half. Eddie is gorgeous 😍
 
Having had a busy day I went out for a stroll this evening with my husband.
On returning I went to put the bin out and saw this little chap right in front of it.
Of course I had to wait until he (she?) moved before the bin could be moved

While I was sat in the garden this afternoon reading a book with my afternoon cuppa (I don’t work Mondays but believe me it’s not a day of rest!) I became aware that I was being watched. It was a friendly robin and his wife. And after they realised I wasn’t going anywhere they took it in turns to have a splash in my bird bath. So sweet.
