Thinking ahead to summer evenings and a firelit party with a few special people.

We had a group of kids from Barnardo's attend the stables today. When they arrived they all looked bored and disinterested. When I showed them how to tie a lasso and the importance of keeping the knot on the side of the animals neck. They seem to perk up and loved the folklore I shared with them. It made me happy that they were interested but also made me sad. The young are starved for attention and knowledge from their peers if only we made the extra effort instead of letting the internet babysit them.

I like various kinds of photography. Latest thing to.catch my attention is a 'tog doing "elopement weddings" mainly here in the West. I find the series of photos taken in the rugged windswept misty countryside fascinating.

The smell of fresh paint in my living room

Graces7 · 21-02-2020 8:17am

Happy to be all snugged in with so much lovely food after the grocery drop last evening I don't know where to start... Rain is lashing the windows and the gale howling. but snugged in.... Old age is great!

bolgbui41 · 21-02-2020 9:52am

A little vain, but TH I'm having a good hair day today. My hair is my favourite part of me (physically), but because of illness, hard water, and not being able to get my usual shampoo it's looked crap for about three months. But today the curls are defined and bouncy and a little shiny, and it seems to be turning proper red again (it usually goes a bit browner/auburn-y in winter and it's been super dull recently). So I'm happy.

Widdershins · 21-02-2020 10:40am

Love this ^^^

TH another photo I just saw, this time a field awash with yellow buttercups. Even buttercups seem more rare these days. And theres a silver, pink and blue, sunny sky in the photo.

Bredabe · 21-02-2020 4:30pm

My friend asked my advice on a person both she and her husband are friendly with and is in my view taking wild advantage of them financially and personally.

Happy that life let me give her the space to vent and advise her on what tack to take with this person, talking to her today, she seems much happier.

Bredabe · 21-02-2020 4:32pm

Writing here today, gave me the space to send off an email that had been handing over me for over a week and felt like I was asking for the world.
More than ta that its done and dusted.

Graces7 · 21-02-2020 4:42pm

Planning imminently to join these critters .... How many cats do you see! Happy cats and happy me

I believe Daddy is a popular term of endearment these days.

On the left I think Bella, then the head is Boycat and the body Oliver. All snuggled up on my one good chair on handknitted blankets..

Hello, new here and apologies in advance if I'm on the wrong track with this thread but I just had to post something happy and saw nowhere else.

Our fifth grandchild was born today. A boy, and mammy and baby are both very well. Over the moon more than trivial happiness.

Think that’s a fair assessment but be cautious when there’s full moon, or someone says shenanigans

Redneck Reject71 · 21-02-2020 9:04pm

That this very long and winding week is over. Bring on the shenanigans,heh.

Monday March 9th, I'll hopefully drop by and see what the cool kids call shenanigans these days.

branie2 · 21-02-2020 9:37pm

I really enjoyed Call of the Wild

Redneck Reject71 · 21-02-2020 10:13pm

Today I had to saddle break a stallion who had injured 2 previous trainers. I introduced the equipment to him ,halter,bridle,saddle blanket and saddle. But gave him time to accept each item without forcing it.45 minutes later I rode him out of the stall, and while they were praising me, I reminded them it was all him. I'm so very proud of him to overcome his fears and apprehensions with me.He will be a fine mount for someone.

Have you done a Ted Walsh

I had to google Ted Walsh,heh.But I wouldn't class myself along his line. I actually dislike horse racing and hunts because I've seen and had to take care of the injuries the horse sustains from those events. I do know every horse I train goes on to someone who engages in those events and for me its heart-breaking,

They are very clever animals and share the same emotions as us. And my field of employment sucks, because I work with these wonderful animals and gain their trust. Only for them to be sold off to people who will only use and abuse them.

My apologises for bringing the thread down since it is about happiness. Tonight I am not in a good place so ignore me for tonight por favour.

TH to be indoors, listening to the wild weather outside.
Friday night, my favourite night of the week, just starting into the weekend.

I brought my 20 year old cat for a checkup. The vet says she's in great health, plenty of life left in her.

That makes me a little happy; my oldest is nearly 16 and I get frantic as the thought of life without Boycat. Each day is precious. We have been through so much together

Graces7 · 22-02-2020 10:00am

Very happy that Jacob cat finally came home after a night out in the storm. He is now under the bedclothes with me getting warmed up after a feed...

My ginger giant lollops into my room at night with a determined look on his face, thunders onto the bed, makes his distinctive "lift the blankets" noise and burrows down to my feet where he stays for the night. If ever I don't pay heed to his demands straight away he makes unique grumpy bossy noises that he never makes at other times, 'til I raise the covers for him. I find the whole routine hilarious.

No use shutting the door to keep him out, he just jumps at the handle and nearly wrenches it off.

roflol! Sounds all too familiar! Jacob curls at my side like a great hot water bottle.

The twenty year old black cat, and young Tiger, only nine.

bitofabind · 22-02-2020 5:16pm

A day of hardcore pampering and self-care after a stressful manic few weeks.

Slept til 11am, got a facial, manicure, knocked around the shops with a latte from my favourite cafe, treadmill for an hour to get the blood pumping, now chilling in front of the TV with some smelly candles and CBD oil.

Feel like a new woman

Graces7 · 23-02-2020 8:55am

Snugged in with tide- music and wind-song as backing.. A huge Sunday breakfast cooked and eaten... well, most of it. We were told off in childhood if we left anything on our plates if we had served ourselves, " Your eyes are bigger than your stomach!" and it was not a compliment. However the rest will get eaten later!

A day ahead,, pottering, knitting, mopping more of the floor.. whatever needs doing that I can manage. Still not ordered seeds..

A serendipity Sunday.. Mass? wherever my finger lands....
