Me and my daughter looking at the Robin in our garden.

In a dr's waiting room, I saw a man who was carrying himself as if he had a back injury,
one of the desk staff came in with his long term sick benefit booklet, she took him through it and told him it was a free post and to be sure to use it or he could hand it into the office in town.

As she walked away she said again for him to use the freepost, the older lady across the room, piped up, 'that right, dont give the lazy feckers a single penny more than you have too'.

Such an incongruous statement from a lady that age. I guess she's not be voting FG in the GE.

TH shell pink nails and Sula strawberry sweets.

Being encircled by a pair of arms.

Nothing better. Home is where the heart is. And I have come home at last

Our cat’s annual infatuation with our real Christmas tree. She loves to smell it and rub against it. We were prepared for this and are hanging our lights and baubles accordingly. It’s a family tree so it’s her tree too.

When OH calls me "kitten" ❤

New book arriving in the post. Sitting with a cuppa, and the new book, with the sun beaming through the windows. Sheer happiness.

Widdershins · 03-12-2019 2:45pm

I thought my new painkillers might have got me high (unintentionally by me) but I'm just incredibly happy

OH is officially going strong after his health scare and the future is clear and bright for us at last. Bone deep joy!

I forgot my TH. The pretty pattern on the Follain jam jars. I keep jam jars so it's cool to have patterned ones

Just saw the cutest old man in the shopping centre wearing a little bobble hat and his walking stick was decorated in twinkly lights

Bredabe · 03-12-2019 5:16pm

Trying to teach myself Office 365 in a short period of time, so far the word part is a doddle.
such slight differences between this and the one I have been using at work for years.

03-12-2019 6:16pm

It seems to be brighter a little longer this evening and the birds are in full song here all afternoon, its like a Spring evening.

Widdershins · 03-12-2019 8:07pm

I've been thinking the same, Duvet, and hoping it wasn't just wishful thinking!

KatW4 · 03-12-2019 10:12pm

My darling little kiddies in school brought me cake, flowers, balloons and a card! And not one of them spoiled the surprise which is a shock! Love my little class

I just love sitting in front of the fire during the winter. There's something so comforting about it!

Widdershins · 04-12-2019 2:36am

I wasn't going to participate in the black Friday sales...but...I got sucked in. Things I'd had my eye on already, at 70% off. I couldn't pass them.

Mam of 4 · 04-12-2019 2:47pm

Having lost my purse and all it's contents last week ,TH that new bank card arrived today , quicker than I thought tbh !

Alecto · 04-12-2019 3:31pm

Lovely boardsies comforting me last night, still supporting me even though I come and go.

My soon to be ex mother-in-law sent me a text last night asking me what I'd like for Christmas, that was really touching. I just sent off her presents today.

My soon to be ex-wife still being my best friend and loving the Birthday presents I bought her yesterday

Opening the sewing box to begin a sewing project. 1930s chiffon robe. In lavender with black marabou trim.

Home alone and having a relaxing bath. Bliss!

Vodafone giving me free tickets to the cinema.

Free stuff.....sweet!

Are you in some kind of a movie club?

No, I just like going to the cinema on a Friday.

I do, or the odd time with friends

I'd love to go the cinema by myself but I don't have the self confidence. It'd be great though and I wouldn't have to share my precious popcorn!

I have about a thousand other follow up questions but I'll resist!

branie2 · 04-12-2019 10:27pm

Drinking a nice glass of red wine at the moment

KatW4 · 04-12-2019 10:52pm

Santa visited my classroom and left snowy footprints, a letter and some gold coins

oh the excitement! The kids were literally shaking with excitement. We went off to the Post Office and they all bought their own stamp and then we posted our letters. Such a magical day!

cj maxx · 04-12-2019 11:21pm

Doing homework with my son, and him proudly telling me that 5+3+2=10. You know why? Because 5+3=8 and 8+2 is 10. The pride on his face explaining how he worked it out is brilliant

branie2 · 04-12-2019 11:36pm

Smart kid

Widdershins · 05-12-2019 2:59am

TH I had fun with silly poses for product photos for my website. It's surprising how good your photos can be just with the right lights and basic equipment.

Going to the cinema on your own is the best.

TH for a real productive morning.

Sun is shining, the frost whitened everything and the air is absolutely clean and fresh. Perfect to air my whole flat.

The first round of mails was finished before the sun came up. Time to crack quite a few of hazelnuts, grind them to flour and put them into the dough in the breadmaker. The inherited printer from my former neighbour is installed and the scanner part is already working. The paper transport still needs a bit of maintenance.

And i already had a nice visitor. Saw him or her a few times already on my porch as it’s part of the local cat motorway. Obviously today was the day to check out my flat. After a few minutes of talking to each other i was even allowed to stroke her or him. Wonderful soft fur, definitely no stray cat.

Hhmmm, probably i have to invest into a few nice cat treats. 😺😂

Widdershins · 05-12-2019 10:57am

If you wrote a blog I'd definitely be TH to read it, Black Forest. You have such a lovely gentle lifestyle.

nigeldaniel · 05-12-2019 12:31pm

painting. I am serious, finishing a nice landscape always gives me a good vibe.

SaltSweatSugar · 05-12-2019 12:50pm

My sister will be home this day next week for Christmas

I got two tickets for National gig in dolans in limerick next year...oh ya baby...lol.lol

Bredabe · 05-12-2019 3:16pm

Leaving the venue last month, I went to pay the room rental and refreshments.
I was asked for the room rental fee and I asked if that now included the refreshments, the response was a careless 'wha?'
So I paid what was keyed in by the venue and got my receipt.

So far no contact looking for the additional money! which is wonderful as the cost was hugly inflated.

madmaggie · 05-12-2019 4:41pm

I got a lovely thank you card and voucher in the post.

Renewed my car insurance, quick and easy, no hassle.
