The 'What Makes You Happy' Thread (Part 4)

Good neighbours
He'll sort out my car tyres;
Gave me some newlaid chook eggs
Will cut down my bay tree and Red Robin shrubs with his chain saw;
Split some of my logs on his log splitter
and, today, moved his log pile that was leaning against our joint fence and pushing it down. Work stopped when he found a nest with 5 eggs in it. We both agreed that a collapsing fence could wait until the babies hatch - just hope they come back

I declined the offer of a lick of his ice-lolly though

What a fab neighbour. I'd need to head to the rant thread if I started listing the things my selfish neighbour does

Tonight's happiness for me is the couch and a blanket. I'm due to head out soon and I'm soooo comfy, I don't want to

Spending a pleasant day at Chatswoof with six terrier dogs and their owners. We ran the woodlands
I even found time for a Sunday roast, tearooms and a garden shop

Being told by my neighbour I can go round his place & play with "Charlie Chainsaw" you can all play spot the difference in the calendar thread next month

Is this the final one that you were telling me shades your veggie plot?

Working in my veggie garden yesterday I heard a lot of angry tweeting. I turned to see lots of bluetits arguing with each other. Then I saw three of them going into different birdboxes. I was delighted! We have a sparrow village which my husband made a few years ago, we stuck it on the end of our house in the hopes the sparrows would move in, but instead we've bluetits! We have a little community of sparrows too but I haven't found out where they nest yet.

Sitting at the allotment in the sunshine, watching the buzzies on the gooseberry bushes and currants.

Discovering that one row of potato shoots has made it to the surface, and seeing four asparagus shoots that should be ready for cutting in a day or three.

[Glutton4...]

Seeing the faces of chums at the Stables, when I walked out of the Hay Barn, holding a dead Roland, by the tail, and asked if anyone had bread for a sarnie, as I had some meat filling for it!

Yes, I did wash my hands after I flung it on the muck heap.

One of my citrus pips has germinated - could be tangerine/mandarin/clementine (I never know which is which)
Having 2 new front tyres at a discount
A couple of hours of digging out weeds - so satisfying
Having a laugh with strangers

[Dotty Sarah]

Found some aparagus shoots peeping through on the plot yesterday. Especially great as I didn't know I had asparagus
