    Went on our school tour today to a Pet Farm. The children were so excited!! It was so good to get out of the school and see something new. The children totally deserved it for what they've gone through in the last year.

    My nieces video called me yesterday. The eldest is going into Year 1 ( UK version of Senior Infants). She is getting a new teacher. Their current teacher made them an adorable booklet to help them with the change. It made me so happy

    Going to see the Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It at the cinema this evening. It will be the first time since before Christmas when I was there last.

    I was at my local garden centre buying a plant as a gift for my neighbour. I got chatting to the manager, saying how helpful my neighbour had been, and I wanted to show my appreciation. He told me to wait, and came back with a lovely little plant for me. He said one act of kindness deserved another.

    Visited a friend this evening (we've all been vaccinated now which is another TH) and both our "lockdown babies" got to play with each other. Mine is a year and hers is 20 months. The sheer awe and joy on their faces seeing another of their "kind". They spent ages just poking each other to see if they were real. And then spent the whole evening trundling around like two tellytubbies. It just warmed my heart because I've been so sad about her not seeing other babies!

    I was watching one of those Canada or Alaska wilderness shows- this woman stops her snowmobile and sees a big flock of fat birds on the snow ahead. She was saying how these are the stupidest breed of bird in the world and you would have to be a moron not to bag one. She took out her rifle aimed, fired, and missed. They all flew off and she was left mucho ticked off.
    Ha ha, cram it, ma'am :p:p:p:D

    I'm sitting outside in my garden having a coffee.
    There's a wee spider doing laps of the circumference of the table, neither of us bothering the other.
    The birds are singing happily, safe in the knowledge that the cats are snoozing in their house.

    I live for summer evenings outdoors.

    I love my hairdressers. They are a small run business with a lovely atmosphere and always full of chat and its not too expensive either.

    I recommended my friend go there for her hair and she said while she was there, my hairdresser refers to me as 'my Olivia.' She only does it to differentiate between myself and another Olivia that works there. Anyway I still think it's endearing.

    Also holidays!! :)

    I fitted a bodhran over my washing bin, so now every time I'm on target with my balled up socks, I get rewarded with a surprisingly loud badong noise.

    I was over in the weather forum abd it said we will be getting some very hot days next week.
    I wasn't sure to put this in the haha thread or the boo hoo thread: It's great to get nice weather of course but if it gets really hot then it can just get hard to stand it.

    I was in a contributory pension fund years ago in a previous job, but forgot to keep track of it after I left. Turns it was worth a lot more than I remembered back then, and a lot more than that now, years later: getting the new statement was a really nice surprise. It will be a substantial boost to a new contributory pension fund I'm joining in my current job.

    90 minutes to the new season of Love Island!
    Yes I know it's tacky, cringey and totally fake bit it's also complete escapism and a break from all things in reality!
