    Thankfully happy that I have abundant bedding.

    Not doing well, and have felt bitterly cold all day.,A huge relief to be able to take out an extra blanket and fill a hot water bottle, and feel my feet sighing with relief at being warm for the first time all day.

    Spare a thought for rough sleepers..Take nothing for granted these days..

    Pleasant dreams..

    Finding cats toys in the hallway when you know you tidied them up. That means she’s been to the basket they’re kept in and had a root around to take some out when I wasn’t there 😸

    Happy that the fridge is now... GRAND! Spent y;day working on it. It is old and has a bad habit of growing ice like weeds... Labour of Hercules. Dratted cats managed to PINCH MY SAUSAGES when the door was open. Draped all over the floor they were.

    Cats were thus very, very happy.. :D

    Driving along within the speed limit. Being overtaken by some idiot travelling at a crazy rate in a jeep or a bigger, more powerful car and seeing him or her getting a ticket for speeding further along the road. It's even better if it's someone you know.

    So satisfying.:D:)

    Sitting in a warm house looking out at the tremendous autumn colours of the surrounding woodlands. Aren't trees magical?

    The season in the garden has really stretched this year. So much still in bloom for the start of November.

    I just watched the alternate video for Niall Horans new song. He's dancing like a loon in it and looks so happy doing it that I couldn't help but laugh.

    Same here. I could happily gaze at the beautiful colours of the trees and plants at this time of year especially, for hours. I feel a great sense of peace, just looking at them.

    Stumbled across some pj's I bought a few years ago in london as part of a 2 for 25£ offer, they had gotten overlooked and unworn in the moves since then.
    A few hours after I found them, I saw a local rescue was having a fundraising auction, saw yesterday that one pair sold for 25e!

    The feeling of accomplishment. I organised a fundraiser for my sports club and we raised a record amount of money. I worked so hard and it paid off so I’m very chuffed with myself :D

    I finally get to move into the apartment I bought tomorrow! It's been a long road but I have finally got there, I will no longer be living in Dublin and will be in a much more quiet and less populated area which is what I wanted. Christ I could cry with relief but I'll save that for when I'm moved in. This time tomorrow I will be dancing! :D

    The ferry brought me a bag of coal, AND a huge sack of kindling which I had enquired about.. enough for the winter.

    I feel secure and happy to have fuel enough in this bitter weather...

    Such small needs, and so easily content. Happy!

    I went by a mature beech that still had lots of russet leaves on, and caught among its branches was the smoke of a nearby house. It really looked like that, there didn't seem to be any other visible smoke around, just that little cloud stuck in there. It was lovely, and the contrast of colours was lovely, too. :)

    Instead, after 15 mins we had an agreement - happy days!

    I was asking my hairdresser if I could dye my hair to match my natural colour as I thought I had seen a white strand. She checked. It was only the light reflecting off the top of my head, or my hair blonde-ing a little bit when it was sunny. Tbh I don't see ageing as a shameful thing, but it's not time yet.

    I watched a miniseries years ago and all I could remember was there was a disturbing character called Spinny in it. Several times over the years I racked my brains trying to think what it was and whatever way I worded a Google search it gave me nothing. Something made me think of it again this morning and it occurred to me that it may have been the adaptation of a book. Bingo!! It was Ruth Rendell's Heartstone from 1996, 23 years later I finally have it :)

    It's Friday! 6 more school weeks until Christmas :D

    My cat is back to normal after being neutered on Monday. He had to stay in until his check up yesterday and he went crazy, knocking things off the table, biting us and running around like a maniac!! He spent all day outside today playing with the dogs and now he is fast asleep on his blanket in front of the fire. What a cutie!

    Also, brought in my shoebox for the shoebox appeal to school today. A little girl in my class (she's 7) wanted to know what it was so I explained it to her. Straight away she said "teacher, I have a bike at home and I can't use it anymore because it's too small. I'll bring it in on Monday and you can give it to the children with no presents." Not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes. She's so thoughtful and kind, she's great.

    Lots of happiness today!
