What made you happy today?

One of our staff, who's been having to shield since the lockdown started, finally was back at work today! Her first words to me were "HEY THE &^$(£ IS BACK" which confused some of our newer residents. Ah, it's good to be back to some semblance of normal.

I'm taking it that her return is a positive thing, the &^$($£ was her joking with you? :xd: I hope the return to a semblance of normal continues for you - - and for the rest of us - though I've a horrible feeling too many people aren't "taking care" and are going to make it worse for everyone :no:

Definitely normal for her. One year I gave the staff as a whole a Christmas card, but I also gave her one for herself - saying "It's Christmas time, and time to pretend we like each other. Happy Christmas!" She loved it :))
 
So happy this evening as my son spent an hour and a half training with his cricket team for the first time since March. It's the first time he's seen any friends since March, and he's done very little cricket practice either, so seeing him out on the field enjoying himself again was beautiful 🏏
😍 We got home just in time for the last few minutes of lap time and cuddles with our girls too before they were off to bed. :-)

I’m happy because I finally decided what planner to get and ordered it. But it may not be here until end August 😭

What kind did you order? I got myself a bullet journal late last year, and will never return to a normal planner/diary now. It has really helped me manage my busy lifestyle so well :-)
 
I had to get a teacher planner. I’ve used a bullet journal in the past and liked it. I’ve also got a passion planner which I like as well. That will be for personal life and treasurer work. I’ll see how I go regards the latter. Depending how busy I am I may have to give it up.

Today I went to the park to meet with a group of mum's from an online coffee morning I do over zoom every week. Then this afternoon my mum took the baby out for a short walk so I could finally put the washing away and have a rest. The self care worked and I feel refreshed so I made teriyaki sauce from scratch ready for dinner

I've seen Hedgehog poo in my garden but no hedgehogs! :no: As they are leaving their calling card I know they are about.

I hope you're able to see one before too long! It was chance really - I had just finished feeding the piggies and tucking them up, and as I was going back inside something tripped the security light on our drive. When I looked across, it was light enough to see hedgie by the low wall at the edge, and then he climbed it onto the grass.
If I'd gone out earlier or later, I'd have missed hedgie's visit. It's lovely to know they're here, they weren't around at all where we used to live.

Rescued this male/female (not sure which), from the white planter. This photo was taken back in June, when it first appeared in the garden.

Didn’t see it for a while, but then last Saturday, it reappeared.

Then today, about an hour ago, it turned up in the planter! Had to dash out and pick it up before it tried to jump out. Waddled into the undergrowth as soon as I put it down, so no harm done.

Oh wow, red squiggles! Did you take those photos? If so, you are so so lucky, I would love to see red squirrels, but there's hardly anywhere where you can see them in England.
I saw a few at an NT reserve once near Southport when we lived near there, and then in 2017 I very briefly saw one when we drove specially to a wood in the northeast where we'd read that they lived. I'm not going to see any here in the Midlands though :no:

My OH showed me an article on FB this evening saying that the hedgehog is now regarded as vulnerable to extinction in the UK... 🙁😮

They where at Loch Goilhead, a family of 4 babies. The Bed and Breakfast, fed them everyday. They where very cute, and appeared for most of the day.

We had lots of good photo opportunities. 😊
