Smile-bringing things to get through today

[MutteringDarkly]

I'm just gathering the energy from somewhere to start work, and through my window I heard a mum and a pre-schooler walking along. The mum was softly singing "if you're happy and you know it" and then pre-schooler delightedly yelled "shout hooray!" all along the road

Anyone got any other nice moments / thoughts to get us through a gloomy Friday?

Ahhhh that's lovely OP My DD is 13 and typically way too cool to walk too close to me now ... when I see school mums walking hand in hand with their little ones happily skipping along beside them I get a little lump in my throat remembering when we did it.

However back to the happy theme - I'm currently drinking a lovely cup of tea and watching a pair of blackbirds pottering around my garden and nipping in and out of the bay tree. I really hope they're building a nest
