What made you happy today?

I have that patch of different skin/hair colour too @anyar.dris . Mines in the middle of my head so with a middle parting it drops down either side. I had a pinker patch of skin with a blonde streak in dark brown hair. Now I've gone grey it doesn't show so much, the streak is white and the rest grey. When I was at school the bullies called me streaky. Years later when highlights and streaks became popular I saw a lot of them sporting expensive streaks in their hair. I resisted the urge to yell streaky down the street, but I was tempted. :))

When I was in school, every time there is a "Bring Me" game and a white hair was asked, my flipping classmates always went to me and ask if they can pull a hair! It annoyed me so much! 😅😅

My favourite nephew has a different coloured hair patch too, his dad is south american and very dark but his mum is english blonde... he has dark hair with a blonde v shape at the back, looks very cool and like something rock stars would pay to have done!

He's a mestizo Guarani person, I looked that up for him after he was talking about the Black Lives Matter movement and getting a bit confused because he isnt really white European but has no African heritage but isnt South Asian like his best friend is and he wondered what he actually should identify as... I think he may be the only Paraguayan-Yorkshire person in the UK :)
 
What made me happy today? Finishing making my guinea pig face masks. The fabric was ordered from Germany (printed to order) and took weeks to arrive. It was stunning when it arrived earlier in the week - could barely bring myself to cut it. But I have finally finished making masks. All will be sold to raise funds for rescues.

A nephew of ours has a friend with a somewhat unusual heritage - he's a (British) Jewish Zulu :D
 
What made me happy today.
Is being lucky to have a week with my Dad Alfred 14 years ago in Bispham
We did the lot Chippys. Ice cream. Pier. RNLI . Talked about Ships ( dad was navy)
Trams. . Seagulls. Arcade.. bookies
Lol.
He died 8 days after this holiday. .
Sad and Happy as his last hol was with his youngest. . Me. X
 
Seeing my baby grandson running about today made me happy, last time we saw him was mother's day so almost 3 months ago when he could stand up but couldn't walk yet! Suddenly he got fast, and cheeky, and grew lots more hair- fuzzy blonde curls that grow in random directions just like mine :)
 
It was a lovely afternoon for a walk on the heath where the heather is blooming

Today I am happy that my old mum came out of hospital, all her lovely neighbours came out and clapped as she came home, and she's very happy to be alive still! And I gave her the rainbow @artcasper and she loved it :)

Awww so lovely to hear that! Glad she is home and liked the 🌈🌈 xx
 
I had an important Zoom meeting today.
I brushed my hair, put on a decent blouse, and even tidied the office a bit, so I would look serious and professional.
Part way through the meeting I stood up to open the window and revealed the fact I was wearing rabbit print tracksuit pants, paired with my smart blouse.
Of course I didn't change my trousers becasue I didn't think anyone would see them!
My boss actually asked if I was wearing pajamas, and I think he was even more horrified when I said that I regulary wear them out and about - nothing wrong with rabbit print trousers!

It was actually quite a fun call in the end.
Our panel expert (an esteemed professor from a German university) joined the call with the user name 'Francesca'.
Apparently he had let his daughter use his work computer and she had changed the Zoom profile, and he couldn't work out how to change it back :lol:
 
Very soon it's my brother's birthday and the first birthday he hasn't been here for, normally my mum would light a candle in the church for him. She hasn't been able to do this since lockdown, this week the Church was allowed to open for private prayer however they haven't opened yet. I decided to email them and was amazed that they will open the door and allow us to light a candle for my brother. Words can't describe the kindness in this sentiment.
