Tell us something that made you happy today

It could be the first cup of tea, hearing birdsong, getting a welcom email; anything!

I've been asked by a friend to review his new book

For today a day with family and great friends who have been with me through thick and thin

I managed to get four plants from work for a whopping price of £3.60! they will need a bit of tlc but they'll be OK. Hows that for a bargain!!!

[stan3502]

What did you get CB   ?????

Me too, I got a clematis and a honeysuckle for £2 on Friday, they are in the garden now and looking good,

This afternoon was pootling in the garden time. Wandering around digging up loads of seedlings and potting them up. Aqualegia, hollyhocks, verbena bonariensis, poppies and Japanese anemones, a gentle time resulting in about 60 "free" plants.

It sounds like you have a lovely garden mistermoss.:)

We like it but it's a bit wild in areas and things seed themselves all over the place. Some people have dedicated seed beds, with us everything seems to germinate in our gravel drive!

We had Lily of the valley of all things used to come up every year through a TARMAC drive!!!    It's such a delicate little flower, it was unbelievable to see it push it's way through! 😮

Sat here with Oliver Cat on my knee purring.  That's making me happy!

[ilove2patch]

Getting the baby's name right. Sad not to have had money on it! lol

I had Alice Rose so well wrong.

[chickengrandma-2008]

My first thought was Charlotte and then I went and changed it to Elizabeth!

My neighbours were really happy when I saw them today because they saw their first grandchild born in London on Saturday, and that made me happy because they're really nice people.  Pity about the name though, Flora Pearl.  That didn't make me happy but it's their choice so there you go!  🙂

I've got a purry cat on my lap too.

Swimming in the sea too. But nothing else today sadly.

They are discussing letting me go home tomorrow evening.

They have been checking my blood sugar evry hour, but we never managed to get it above 4, even when I drank a 500ml bottle of regular cola (over 50g of sugar).

They have no idea why my temperature is up, as all the blood tests show infection levels falling steadily.

They have stopped my diabetes meds and have decided that the problem is that my body just is not digesting and absorbing sugar - no-one has any idea why.

So I now have to check my blood sugar every two hours and then put glucose straight through the I.V. line to bring the level up to at least 6.5

So I have a fancy testing kit, and a complicated chart. I am instructed to eat anything that I fancy.

They hope that this will be temporary, but really they haven't got a clue.

Oh Stroppy it never rains but it pours dies it, chin up.

[mouse4702]

A lot of things have made me happy today.  Stroppy is holding her own; I saw a goldcrest in the yard collecting down for its nest; met an old friend and had a hug; met another and had a latte; had a lovely cuppa and some Thorntons when I got home; my cats love me to bits; we had cold chicken for tea (those last two are definitely linked!)
