What made you happy today?

I bought a new sewing pattern.
I planned to start cutting out, but got way laid in a ridiculously long conference call, so will hopefully start tomorrow and can sew over the weekend.
But just having a new pattern makes me happy.

I have a sweet tooth as well! I may get myself a dessert tomorrow, although I’ve had two this week. I’ve been doing well as I think I lost a (very) little weight. I haven’t been eating late or eating much in between main meals. Nowadays it’s a coffee diet till lunch, with a fruit thrown in occasionally. Then lunch. Usually nothing between lunch and dinner except maybe fruit. I don’t tend to have another coffee as I have my big travel mug.

You made my day @Lady Kelly The new pattern was from mbjm.
I have been resisting but 30% off.

There's the clue... Everytime she released a new pattern she releases a discount code too. I brought 4 patterns last time. She also does feel good Fridays where she discounts one pattern and donates a chunk of all the money she makes that day to charity.

Pre-synaptic neurons?
something and dopamine?

We have had some funnies with the autocaptioning on Youtube streaming of church services, though I can't remember any of them sadly!
 
New expensive cake tins with clip-lock sides! Just baked a carrot cake for Uncle John's 79th birthday and wow those tins are good!
Carrot cake is usually a bit of a bugger to get out of the tin but this came out great, no grease proof paper or tin greasing needed :)

I suspect there will just be Uncle John and piggy daddy sneaking in wearing his care work uniform halfway through his teatime/evening community care calls for a quick cup of tea and a slice of cake... we're all in proper no socialising lockdown here, but I think a certified care worker delivering a birthday cake to a vulnerable elderly gent who lives alone is just about permissable amongst the rabid student parties the police are dealing with...!

Perhaps while he's there, piggy daddy could set up a zoom call for everyone to sing happy birthday to uncle John as he cuts that yummy cake 🎂🍰🥳
 
I met a couple of very local (and similar aged) mum's today at a local cafe. We met through a Facebook group, one is due her baby in November and the other has a 4 month old. It was really nice to make new friends and have people to meet up with for cake.

These are brill, you wonder how you coped before!
 
Providing local lockdowns ease a little, we have arranged to visit my brother on 1st November and go for a meal with him so I’m hoping for no funny turns as I had one the last time we visited him which we had to cut short the visit. Please keep your fingers crossed that a) we can go and b) that I don’t have a funny turn
