What made you happy today?

I picked my first corgette and 3 runner beans this afternoon. Not a huge contribution to dinner but my little plot is becoming productive.

Brilliant, It is exciting! We had fresh basil in the bolognaise tonight with rocket salad, both home grown from seeds, all of my veg is growing but I think I'm a long way off of picking anything yet as only planted most seeds at the beginning of may which I feel was probably a bit late!
That said, seeing the beans climbing the frames and everything slowly getting taller really is a sense of achievement.
 
We're trying out a nighttime cloth nappy tonight. First time ever but we have gone from 11pm to 3:15am so far without any leaks so fingers crossed. Not sure how long to push it for but I was told I should easily get 5-6 hours out of it

How did it go @Lady Kelly ?
And what nappy are you trying?
We always found bamboo with a couple of inserts and a breathable cover (wool) gave the best overnight results, but I suspect nappy technology has moved on a little since I last used them :whistle:

It was a Thirsties fitted nappy which is bamboo with a PUL cover on top. No additional inserts other than the snap in one's it came with :)
 
My herbs are coming along really well - mostly ( the coriander died)

Found a solution to a challenging situation.
Now to make it work.......

I love overcoming a challenging situation, let us know if it all goes to plan.

I found out today Weddings are now allowed with a maximum 3 households and 8 people in total. May happen after all, 2nd time lucky! Will have to wait and see, it seems strange in a Pandemic thinking about a wedding, so surreal had someone pre-warned, I think I would have re-arranged. 🤣

In celebration, we ordered a Japanese take away, yum! It's definitely the little things that matter.
 
I have finally managed to wash some clothes! Three bin bags worth, anyway. Almost caught up, it feels weird to wear "washed" clothes instead of "new" ones. If...that makes any sense. We have staff in more regularly now so it's actually possible to use the machine in the other building, and the guy that was here that insisted on washing his clothes every other day has moved out so I'm not having to work around his insane refusal to wear other clothes...or let clothes be dirty for more than 5 minutes.

Also we finally found someone to move the old sofa out. No actual date for doing it yet but we do have someone to do it. We also have to move half my furniture out to get the sofa out, which is hilarious and terrifying all at once because nobody can understand how it got in in the first place. Ah, life.
 
I managed a zoom catch up with my old uni flatmates and found out that one of them has reached the decision to move back to the UK permanently (she had emigrated to Australia). So nice to see their faces and have a good chat and we will be doing it more regularly going forward.
 
Lovely day with my favourite 9 year old apprentice piggy whispere, we played football, played chess, had a bit of a home school lesson, hand fed the piggies some salad, and now he's just set off for a dyslexia assessment with a private tutor... we've suspected he's dyslexic for about 3 years now, his first school blamed his mum for not helping him, his current school said mum helps him so much he's not on their priority list for support...!
So I'm just going to pay for a private assessment and private tutoring, that little boy is one of my favourite people in the whole world and I'm happy that I can help him get some literacy help :)
 
...I’ve forgotten what it was 🤪 but something did make me super happy 😁

ETA I’ve remembered! My sister (lives a short drive away) came for a distanced chat! It’s ridiculous how excited I was to see her, even though we’re all in contact via WhatsApp 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰
 
Lucky you! I desperately need my hair cut but will have to wait until the hairdressers opens to make an appointment so probably won't have one for about a month!

Yes I'm very grateful she's texting. Luckily I was in a week before lockdown started too. Still though it's falling out so much at the moment and you know what naturally curly hair is like... It's all gone a bit feral 😂 haven't seen my hairdresser since September as she was only due back from maternity leave in April
 
How often do you go to the hairdressers and what do you have done? Have you ever done it yourself? This is for al of you.

I usually go every 5 or 6 months, depending on how the state of my hair is (i.e. fading colour, or needed colour change). I just go for hair colour and cut. I once coloured hair myself in the past at home and it failed. Not all of my hair had the same amount of colour. Good thing the colour was just dark brown and not something bold. During this lockdown, I've been trimming my hair an inch or 2 (I have a long hair) just so it won't grow sooo much longer.
