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

[Feral007]

Having the fire on and feeling warm for the first time since I crawled out of bed for the first time this morning.

Had a friend from Perth, who is attending a Chess Congress today, staying over last night and I forgot the cat was sleeping in the spare room - after watching a movie we went to bed about 1am and after about 5 minutes I heard a voice and movement which went on and on. Eventually I got up, put on a dressing gown and opened the bedroom door to find him standing at the top of the stairs still in his outdoor clothing.

On enquiring what was up he advised that the cat spitting and snarling had chased him out the room. It took some persuasion from me before she agreed to move out - it was all I could do to restrain my laughter - who needs a guard dog?

Having my granddaughter back from a weeks holiday in Cornwall.

She was so excited she could hardly get her words out when telling me what a great time she had down there.

Getting REAL bargains at a local Car Boot sale...esp as they are for our daughter!...she'll be chuffed to bits!

Nectarines being cheaper than apples

[veggiechicken]

Watching the fledgling Great Tits, fluttering their wings and chattering for food, while their parents rushed from branch to branch gathering up beakfuls of summat to shove into their gaping beaks. Then a brave little birdie would make frantic flapping movements and, much to its surprise, flutter from its branch and land, with an ungainly thump on another branch. The apple and oak trees have been alive all day with the birds.
Eat up chaps, the more pests you eat, the better it is for me

My Mum had a cataract operation yesterday, and today she can see!

[veggiechicken]

Miraculous aren't they . I've had mine done and my Mum's hoping to have her's done in the next couple of months. Must be one of the most rewarding operations there is

Discovering that the next local BHWT collection is next Sunday!

[Verinda]

Getting sozzled on an expensive and very delicious bottle of white wine! Haven't done that for a long time and it was great fun!!!

My dad had that operation too, he's 93 and has the vision of a young man! Its absolutely brilliant.

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Had our first Open Day at the allotments and it was a roaring success. The waiting list is now at the stage, as loads of people asked to put their names down. I'm burnt red raw from the sun, even with wearing UV shirts. I got called a doozey mare as a term of endearment (plus I can be a bit of a doozey mare). I'm knackered and roll onto the next Open Day in September.
