A thread for happy things

[whatausername]

Big or little, important or trivial, temporary or permanent (or if you're Buddhist, temporary or less temporary).

Mine is that I finished Jerome K. Jerome's The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow last night and flipping loved it! Plenty of my kind of humour, incisive at points and lots of mental meanderings.

And yours?

I just booked a weekend away with a friend. Very excited.

I’m recovering from surgery and after puréed/soft food for weeks, can now eat more normally.

Ooh what will you eat first, @Misorchid ?

Am not very well so tucked up in bed, but can hear DH read Tabby McTat to the kids. They're all singing 'meeeeee youuuuu and the old guiiitaaar' in their silliest voices and falling about giggling. It's lovely to listen to <3

I wasnt looking forward to coming next door to babysit 2 young teens I dont know very well and their very big, scary looking dog. Ive been here for 3 hours and we are all snuggled on sofa chatting, watching tv and eating biscuits. They are delightful boys and the dog is now my new best friend.

I’m ok with pasta, cottage pie, mince and some veg etc. but can’t wait to eat some chips!👍

I’ve just hit 25 wks in a pregnancy I was told at 6 weeks was likely to be ectopic and termination recommended. With a lot of expert medical care and monitoring I’ve had no bleeding, no unusual pains, all tests have come back normal or unremarkable (and we’ve been tested extensively for all sorts) and it’s all progressing swimmingly so far 🤞🏽. Life feels good and I can’t wait to meet this little one when she’s good and ready ☺️

I'm learning braille and it's blowing me away

I’ve had a shower and I feel clean.

I had surgery last week, can’t shower on my own. DH has been great with helping but he’s just been really busy yesterday so didn’t get chance to help me until today-it’s nice to feel fresh and clean.

I'm not back at work until Tuesday night!

I joined Blue Sky today for my business and have gotten 3 followers. I am truly grateful for each person following my business, especially in these tough times.

Watching Greece v England. We're a goal up & the mainly young team are playing very well.

I'm seeing someone amazing. I had genuinely given up.
