It's my little smileyhead's 1st birthday tomorrow (technically today). I've work booked off and we're going to have an absolutely class day.

"Happy Birthday , Little Smileyhead!"

Nice bit of double-luck this morning. Taking my mother to a medical appointment, I was looking for parking near the church in Blackrock. The little pay & display car park was full, and I'd just turned around to exit it when a lady came and not only vacated a space, but gave me her ticket which was paid up until tomorrow morning. I'll try to pass it on to someone when I leave...

Succeeded in dealing with some delayed housework tasks I have been too unwell to cope with,, Small, but hugely satisfying. Happy with that

I got glasses today for the first time (they said it'd make me go blind, but did I listen?) and it's like everything is in HD.

I feel like that when I clean them once in a blue moon and realise that I've been looking through dirty smudges for ages! Everything is so sharp and clear. Enjoy it

Hotel chocolate.
The nicest chocolate I have ever eaten and God knows I have eaten a lot over the years.

Don't wear them, you'll see all the dust and the cobwebs! (well, in my house)

I have a hook on my wall beside the kitchen door frame. I hang a plastic bag off it and put my recycling in it. This is to keep it off the floor so the dogs don't scatter it all over the kitchen. This evening I put up a new bag and I turned around 5 minutes later to find Ruby (my parrot) chewing the bag. I told her to stop and she didn't so I put a tea towel over the hook which covered the bag and in a temper she said to me "you're a fcuking b!tch" :pac::pac::pac:

It's been months since she's said that to me and it's awful funny when she does. She only does it when I do something to p!ss her off

Hitting the hay after a class day celebrating the wee one's first birthday with herself and Mr Fart. All that ice cream eating has me wrecked!

Being back in my own bed after a four night absence and seeing my beautiful handsome baby dogs. You’d swear they never saw me before in their lives. Within half an hour of me being home I had a split bottom lip from one of their heads crashing into my face with excitement. They haven’t let me out of their sight all evening following me from room to room, howling and barking at me when they want a chat. I actually live my life for them. They make me happy every single day

We upgraded our tv package and it only cost us 7 pounds extra. We have so many channels now that I used to love and missed and now I don't even know what to watch

Thought you'd be watching videos all morning to keep you amused

Beethoven's 9th Symphony, the most glorious work of art created by a human.

While I much prefer the calm of Beethoven's piano music to orchestral or symphonic pieces, the more I listen to his 9th Symphony, the more out of the world it is. It is just full of the vigour of life. Alive. The choral finale (4th movement) and its deep voices in particular is so versatile.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOjHhS5MtvA

(starts at 59:00)

Anyway, the most entertaining twist in the past two weeks of my singing to the 9th symphony is that I'm "conducting" the 1-year-old and 3-year-old while showing them the above Chicago Symphony Orchestra performance on the laptop on the kitchen table and the whole kitchen goes mad as I "conduct" and they "sing" and laugh (If you're thinking of that Richard Gere 9th Symphony scene in Mr Jones you weren't the only one!). So, fast forward to my daily afternoon walk with the 1-year-old before his bedtime and I'm humming away the 9th Symphony as we walk and I notice his little hands moving and he's looking at me and moving his hands and fingers conducting me!!! Double take, right there. While that's crazily cute, he then humps his little shoulders a bit and moves his right finger and then his hand tentatively and then firmly to calm the music down (at this stage he's not even conducting me but the pillar to somebody's gate). So many layers of unexpected cuteness in the simple things. These are the best walks ever.
