What made you happy today?

You should have seen the milkman's face, don't think he'd ever overtaken anyone before!
I hated driving, I only did it a few times on my own after I passed my test. I stopped driving for about 20 years and gave it a go again, drove every day for a week to see if I could do it but it wasn't for me, I was far too nervous.

Awww my mum is the same way, she is way too nervous and would probably get overtaken by the milkman :)
 
My voice has changed as a result of the testosterone injections, but I can't really hear it because I hear myself all the time. Except today I heard myself through someone else's phone because they rang and had me on speakerphone and I heard myself through it like oh, HELLO.
 
My grandparents' marriage certificate arrived in the post and even though it didn't give their DOBs, it gave their ages.

I never met my mum's dad, he died not long after she married my dad, and grandma died when I was about 4.

Being able to work out my grandad's year of birth meant I was able to look up his WW1 naval record. It's not that exciting - I already knew he was a cook, having worked in a hotel before the war - but to see the ships he worked on, and his record of character and ability consistently marked "very good" and "superior", and various other details, is amazing.
 
My little Bobbers bobbin (Robin) made an appearance today :D first time I've seen him for about 6 weeks.

The last time I saw him he looked all sad & bedraggled, he was going bald on top & I wondered if he had mites.
His feathers have grown back on the top of his head, but unfortunately he's losing the ones on the side of his face. :(

He perched in the tree next to me, we had our little chat & I dutifully came indoors, got his favourite suet pellets & scattered them on the floor. He watched me from the top of the fig tree & with me coaxing him down, he had 3 pellets, sat in the tree a bit longer watching me & then went on his merry way.

I'm so pleased to see him, he's got very tame over the last 4-5yrs. Can't wait for his plumage to sort itself out - especially with winter coming :(
 
I'm happy because I went to the pet shop today and got the selective naturals meadow treats and the guinea pigs gobbled them up.
I also got them a willow stick ball because Frodo likes to shove things around the cage! (and they needed some new toys of course...) :))
And then I got some bendy bridges for the gerbils and they looked so exited with their new hides :love::love::love:

Honestly, I get more exited and happy buying things for my animals than I do for anything else :))

That's wonderful! Are you going to try feeding him (or her!)?

After I saw my 2 hedgies last week, I logged the sighting on bighedgehogmap.org, a site run by PETA and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society to try to get a feel for the population of hedgehogs in the UK.
 
I started today. It was just getting ready but fun nonetheless. And I got good feedback on two learning diaries I submitted at the weekend. I didn’t expect it (yes I need to work on my confidence!) so was very happy 😁

I had no idea about that site - I will go and look.
We’ve never seen Hedgie before, it it reappears I will put out water and food.
Our garden is hedgehog friendly so it may just have been passing through.

Congratulations - hope it continues to go well.
I’m sure you will do brilliantly

Just realised I should have written PTES (People's Trust for Endangered Species), not PETA - oops!

I haven't seen our hedgie for a week, the food is still being eaten so I hope that's him eating it. I understand they have regular foraging trails that they follow, going quite a distance, through multiple gardens in urban areas, so there's a fair chance that yours will be using your garden regularly even if you don't see him :nod: 🦔🦔

The hedgehog has been back the last couple of evenings so I’ve now looked it on the website you told me about.
Sounds as if our garden is on his route
 
Exciting! 😁 can’t wait to hear about it.

Today I am happy because I had my first proper little ride on my Brumby Cappa!
I’ve done all his training from the start by myself (He was a wild Brumby 3 years ago).
I'm SO proud of our journey and relationship together, The past year I’ve been slowly educating him ready for riding. A couple of weeks ago I had my first ever sit on him..

And today we had our first walks and turns. He’s so relaxed with it all. I’m so proud of him :luv:

I have been drying my flowers from my bouquet and today the frame arrived. Finally put my craft project together to keep them for forever more. Happy with the final outcome.View attachment 152865

That’s such a good idea, I love it! 🥰 I made my bouquet from wire and beads and luckily I still have it!
