I dropped a cup on the floor and it didn't break. The cutlery god is smiling on me.

I knocked a favourite cup ( a gift from a friend) off the table and it shattered....

Happy at the life it had! And the friendship ....

Happy now at the quiet day ahead.. that I have meaningful craft work that will feed babies...watching youtube!

Got a call this morning from a man I used to babysit over 50 years ago. We have kept in touch but hadn't met, or spoken, in a few years. I'm going for a spin in his helicopter tomorrow morning.

Can't wait!

I was watering my flowers along the roadside. It took ages, everyone stopping and chatting, it's great to live in such an area.

Graces7 · 21-07-2018 1:43pm

Happy to be back abed after walking far too far, with hwb at my back.. perfect happiness!

Always cheering when neighbours just to stop for a chat. I had the same today when tidying up flowerbeds near the road. Some were out for a walk, others pulled up while cycling or driving past. And it's honest friendly chatter; no bitching or looking for gossip or information. Who cares if the intended job gets delayed? There's always another day and nothing beats time spent being friendly.

Was getting my knickers in a twist trying to do a task . Knocked into my neighbour to ask advice , she put down her cup of tea and came in and did it in a flash . Just nice people and kindness make me happy

Still TH about the leisure centre at the hotel I stayed in last night. It was so beautiful, and I reached a whole new level of relaxed

Graces7 · 22-07-2018 7:00am

Peaceful Sunday with my critters, knitting fingerless gloves, with youtube/ a book makes me deeply contented.

Finally managed to sort out the problem with the accommodation website for when I go on Erasmus, now just to apply for it later and then that's another thing crossed off my list!

Tuxedo cat came for a visit into the back garden

TG1 · 22-07-2018 3:53pm

I was inside moping about, and all of a sudden I heard hoofs coming down the path. It was the neighbours kiddies pony, with one kiddy on top and one leading the pony, both roaring laughing over something, and the one on the ground hugging the pony as she walked. The scene just brightened up my day.

Sephiroth_dude · 22-07-2018 5:34pm

Sweet rain and the lovely smell it brings.

Kitty6277 · 22-07-2018 6:04pm

Looking at what's around Leeds (where I'll be doing my Erasmus) on Google Maps. There seems to be loads around, so I'm looking forward to going off and getting to explore

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 22-07-2018 6:06pm

So much today. Old friends, seeing how people can succeed in life from humble beginnings and not forget their roots, good food, fine weather, nature and the glorious countryside that is Ireland, family and laughter.

22-07-2018 6:18pm

Having a good day during a very challenging time with far too many bad days. But today isn't one of them, and I'm happy and hopeful about that.

Sephiroth_dude · 22-07-2018 9:21pm

Mr bones making me howl with laughter with a post in the ta thread

madmaggie · 22-07-2018 11:51pm

I spent a good while today watching the birds gobbling up the flying ants. Two blackbirds and some juvenile robins, they were hoovering up the ants!

Mountainsandh · 23-07-2018 12:48am

I have a major TA but I don't want to post it, I just don't want to acknowledge it for another bit(:mad:), so I'm just going to post a very TH moment from our holidays

We travel all around France in the camper, and going around a corner, I spotted a Google car coming our way from a distance, so I went : "Google... Google... ? Google ? GOOGLE !!!"

I'm a terrible google maps addict, I love streetview, I plop myself anywhere and everywhere, and the kids are similarly nerdy when it comes to it plus they all know I love Google maps, so the four of us (Mr M the driver) plus the dog on my lap must have looked very silly, surprised and jovial as the thing passed us ! I laugh just thinking of the family portrait !

Afterwards we all went : "Yeaaaahhhh" as if it was a major achievement to be on Google streetview

Can't wait to see the image when it's added to the maps.

Anyone knows how long it takes them to put them online ?

I keep telling folk not to worry that they cannot dig for worms...when they were hand cutting hay here the swallows were swooping in low for the flies that were being disturbed..

Happy Monday, Seph and all..

Another fine day, with lots to do and the health to do it.

Sweet relief and happy that family in Toronto are safe after the shooting. heart in mouth making the call. And for many families, a heartache.

That's such a relief for you - I'm not trivially happy in any way.

We need to set up a MAJORLY THRILLED thread now!

My cousin and I are picking up our Gran and our other cousin from the airport later for a bit of a holiday with us. My Granny is having a tough time lately so we hope being with three of the grandkids (all from different branches of the family) will help her feel a bit better. The young cousin is on Grannywatch while we're working, but I'll be home most afternoons to supervise.

Not too sure how the days will pan out but there will almost certainly be golf involved!

Also Happy Birthday to Cleopatra!

Reading so many of the posts here, I can't help but be happy and grateful that I have made it this far pain and medication free. Mrs S has a couple of health issues but, again, is thankfully pain free.

Health is wealth for sure.

Amen to that.
My mother has recently gone from going around normal and fit enough to needing 24 hour care and and it's heartbreaking to see.

Getting back in to crochet last night after a bit of a break. I forgot how lovely and relaxing it is. Recently I've been trying to cut down on screen time so have gotten back in to reading and crochet. I feel more myself and it's genuinely improving my mood.

Bredabe · 23-07-2018 5:15pm

That DCFD got some of their stolen equipment back. TH

I would guess that there was a lot of wheeler-dealing in the background in 'motivating' the seller to hand the equipment over, free.

Thank you very much lovely lady! I'm glad to see you've been having some good days in between the bad. Have a lovely time with your granny

I'm feeling grateful to still have both of my grandads. A card from my grandad arrived today and I just felt glad that he's still in my life, he's going to be 90 in September and still living independently.

I lost my grandad a couple of weeks before I lost my mum. He was one of the loves of my life and I go to pick up the phone to talk to him every day. He lived to 92 and was independent to the last, sharp as ever. I miss him, and I always will.

Give your granddad a hug from me.

Count yourself very very blessed to have good pain relief. In this area all we can get from drs is paracetemol whatever the problems.. would value tramadol the tylex that helped my pain be bearable for years .. blanket ban here with no assessment

Out with my friend driving and the car in front of us was a Mitsubishi lancer and I thought it said langer

Similar here in Carlow. I wonder is it HSE policy? If you go to a pain consultant they'll prescribe more effective medication.

I am on a medical card. An d I am old.
So fat chance of a referral anywhere and that is fine.
Too old to go trekking here there and everywhere..

Or was when I had a GP who knew my diagnosis and the reality of the pain.

It is a scare from the USA and from abuse of opiates .

If you mention Tylex and codeine then you MUST be an addict.....:mad:Is the reasoning.

Actually they create addicts as we have to find pain relief somehow, somewhere..

Sorry wrong thread for this.
