What made you happy today?

There's a lady on nextdoor that has been trying to rehome her two sow piggies for a few months now. I gave her the contact info for our local rescue and hopefully the rescue will take them. She has had 7 attempts at rehoming them fall through. They are very adorable, but I'm not sure if I could get them to bond to my boar/ sow pair. Let alone where would I quarantine them, as the only room I have is the same room as my pigs.

Everyone cross your fingers for her piggies!

Fingers crossed.
 
2 things today a lovely long walk in the bracing winter air and beautiful sunshine

and my new sewing machine was delivered so I can finish making my curtains and get on to the next project- probably a bench cushion in time for the better weather when we can sit out again!IMG_20210123_112258472.webp
 
I had a rewarding, lively and chaotic first day back teaching online today, a half hour welcome zoom call that lasted an hour then 5 x 15 minute individual tutorials that all lasted almost half an hour each! But lovely to chat online to real people in real time :)
Also much vaccination happiness, piggy daddy and my daughter both vaccinated today, old Uncle John last friday, very proud of them all for doing their bit and relieved they will hopefully be protected from severe covid symptoms :)

Getting to the end of the 3rd box of cardmaking stuff when putting everything on eBay (we'll ignore the fact I think there must be another box in the loft that I missed this morning)

She decided that she wants to keep her piggies!

That's definitely a good thing! New specs are so expensive - I just got new ones, at a cost of about £500. Expensive partly because they are varifocals with a wider varifocal area than my previous ones.
I put off getting new ones for 18 months, but had to cough up in the end as Zoom calls on my laptop were getting fuzzy :cool: 🤓

I have varifocals too! Expensive.
 
I think my behaviour management went well today at school. And I got some lovely presents. One is a notebook from the teaching assistant. I LOVE BOOKS! It’s so pretty I don’t want to ruin it 😭🥰 it needs a decent pen to write in it with...

They are expensive, but so much more convenient than having 2 pairs of specs and always having to remember to keep the other pair to hand in case of need. My husband laughed when I first got varifocals, he said it showed I was getting old :lose::xd:

I know they are very convenient. But a surreal experience when you first get them. Everything seems wibbly wobbly!

What a lovely present and with your initials on too!
 
Got two very important calls I’ve been waiting for today. The first being a call back from the police officer I saw about an incident (not going to drag this out with a long post about it) but the matter seems to be resolved. The second being I got a call back from my tutors and I’ll have an assessment on the 9th of feb and begin classes the week after :) haven’t slept properly in days so maybe I can finally sleep better tonight.

Yay to you. I'm glad #1 is resolved and that you have a date for #2.
 
I have managed to secure a place on an ambassadors course for a local breastfeeding support group. Very excited to be able to take some time doing something new, be able to support other mums in the future and to do my bit to improve the appalling rates of breastfeeding in the UK
