    Short sleeve on the cycle for the first time this year today.
    May have been a few weeks early as it was a tad cold but we'll stick with it for now.

    Probably getting boring for some but, when you wake to a bright calm morning with nothing to do and all day to do it.

    Love it, and being alone too ... a break from the hectic noise of kids ...

    Getting to grips with a very complicated official document and emailing it off makes me very very happy.

    Then going outside and bathing in the sight of the ocean with a fresh pure wind on my face .. I know which matters most and rejoice in that. Setting the world aside.

    TH Was when walking home from the shop I saw one of the local tabby kitties :D (very similar to poochies cat) I was trying to call him over, well he completely ignored me :eek:, walked right past me like I didn't exist :D and started kneading his little paws on a tree :3.

    Went swimming in the sea today and a few huge dolphins were swimming about 50m away. Magic.

    They were bobbing and jumping all over the place

    So many people taking a walk in the countryside. Great to see.

    I may open a tea shop, or lemonade stall, at the gate

    If any of the younger grandchildren had been here today I probably would have set them up at a table offering free cold drinks of water or lemonade just for the craic.

    There were 2 kids selling something on the side of the road on my way back from town, outside their driveway !

    It was cute but what they were holding looked like a bottle of wine rather than lemonade or anything like that, and they had no sign saying what it was so I just drove on. :D
    (can't drink on medication !)
    (no, they weren't wearing dirty overcoats and their noses weren't red)

    The kids bike got a puncture which I managed to fix despite lack of practice over the past 30 years.
    Instant hero status.

    Was out for a stroll, passed by a shop playing Baker Street as the sax solo was playing. Lad walking behind me started whistling along.

    Stopped off for an ice-cream on route too.

    Was watching some squirrels earlier playing on the grass. Along came a dog and the squirrels made their escape to a tree. The dog has been watching and waiting by the tree for ages. Poor dog will be waiting a hell of a long time before those squirrels come back down the tree. So my TH is at the poor dogs expense.

    Had a check of my seedling situation and the tub I planted with poached egg and trailing nasturtium seeds is looking very grown up and promising great things. Tiny seeds and so much life ... miracles always

    Got my nails done today as a treat. I never have the time or the money to spend on myself, and bite my nails so there is no point but just said today I'd treat myself. Just looking at them now is making me happy, they are done in a really pretty, girly shade, not like my usual style at all!

    Did you just get regular polish or a gel type thing? My nails get ruined by Shellac/Gel and I'm always cleaning so regular polish doesn't work either. Would love to get them done. Really thing it makes you look way more put together.

    Just a shellac, I'm hoping it might be strong (and expensive) enough to stop me biting them! :pac:

    Sounds lovely. My friend gets that too for the same purpose and her nails have really come on :)
