    Getting sent photos of my friends baby. I brought him back a couple of presents from Australia back in February and finally posted them this week.
    Today she sent me a photo of him wearing the little bib and playing with the teddy and he looks delighted with life.

    In from my daily run and just realised that it's my 2 month return to running anniversary! Took it back up when the lockdown started and am TH (and pleasantly surprised) that I've kept it going.

    That is lovely. Sometimes you do something for a person, then you forget. After a while they come with a little gift, it's the appreciation and the thought.

    My TH is very trivial as per usual.
    Trivially happy looking at my shopping trolley this morning. Usually the contents lead the local busybody cashier to make comments like "someone's having a party tonight" as she scans my groceries and Hippykitten blushes and mumbles a response. This morning I was so proud of my fruit, veg and not a sight of processed food (or wine).

    I didn't tell her I was shopping for my neighbour!

    Painting the balcony wall. I’ve looked at it for months, so I got off my bum, ordered some paint online, collected that yesterday and am halfway through the transformation.

    Lunch time!

    Late last night, I made myself a chicken sandwich.

    Because I'm a slob, when I woke up this morning (before I opened my eyes), the first thing I smelt was a lovely Vienna roll, placed seductively on the pillow next to me... :D

    I found a euro while cleaning up.
    Don't know why it made me happy, it was my money anyway so no net gain to me.

    I attend religious meetings Fridays and Sundays (not the forum for religious debates I think, well I suppose it is but not my point) and do bible study on Saturdays also

    My TH is after 14 months I finally spoke up and gave a talk for 60+ others

    Chest was pounding, pulse was racing while for some this is the easiest task in the world. I never said a word for 14 months of meeting beforehand.

    Well it was difficult for me and I took a shot and got some kind text messages afterwards

    Public speaking ain't easy, I believe it will get easier but for anyone trying for their first time just do it. Th´d after 14 months I did it and got some kind text messages afterwards

    Good for you! My first attempt at “public speaking” was at a conference a number of years ago. I followed a guy who had been the PR man for one of the political parties in the UK. He wandered around the stage, completely comfortable, with a radio mike on, holding the audience in his hands, sprinkling funny stories into his narrative, totally at ease.

    Following him, I shuffled up to the lectern, dry mouthed and sweating, and I swear I could hear my trousers flapping in the breeze as my knees were knocking so much.

    Afterwards, a few kind souls said nice things to me. I replied, “yes, but the guy on me was so much more professional”. One said, “so’s a prostitute, stick with who you are!”

    Sound advice!

    Well done! It gets easier!

    The semi-feral cats called for their dinner and left. I left out some extra food in case some more stragglers were planning to pay a visit, I was just about to bring it back in when... who do I catch stuffing his cute little face? This fella! :)

    It's been raining, that's why the fur on his/her nose is all messy. I think s/he took up residence under the shed. :)

    I just watched a programme on BBC4 about Tom Waits. Brilliant stuff. There was even footage of him on The Late Late Show with Gay Byrne from 1982! :D:confused:

    I don't love all of his songs, but his voice is out of this world, goosebumps central. And Martha is one of my absolute favourite songs.

    Think it was 1981.
    He played a couple of nights at The Olympia. My cousin went - said it was deadly.

    TH at the sleep (& smiles) that a little story can bring

    Read a bedtime story (Guess How Much I Love You) to my godson this evening. As I was tucking him into bed, he smiled at me and repeated the last line from the story: “I love you right up to the moon … AND BACK.”

    My heart melted
