I'm done

[ssd]

I'm just done. Please tell me your good news.

I’m sitting on the beach in Antigua. It’s 32 degrees and I am just deciding where to go for lunch.

I've just repainted my garden table, which has been waiting to be done all summer. (black metal underneath, mosaic top)

the metal was all rusty, and I had to do it or it wouldn't have survived the winter.
It looks fab. I will just sit here looking at it for a bit, really satisfying, didn't take long in the end, and I will enjoy it through the window as much as when we use it.

@stayathomer love kidsplaining

JesusInTheCabbageVan I loved how thoughtful he was actually saying it

We are having DH's delayed birthday celebration today. Then I will have a Zoom get-together with six old friends from university days. That should be a hoot.

Thanks for this thread. I am enjoying reading everyone's good news. (And doing my best to avoid all the terrible things happening in the world. The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is just the latest blow. I'm in the US. Everything is going from very, very, very bad to much, much, much worse. But enough of that!)

Forgot to say it's rioja and m&s pizza for tea!

Dp has gone to get kebabs for dinner, I have just put on a rom-com and ds7 has not watched TV at all today as he was so busy with the toys from his birthday

What rom com lazy?

My 5 month old fosterling is starting to roll, he can't sit yet (or even attempt to), he collapses when you try to get him to weight bear, he has poor head control but he can roll to the left and is now starting to go to the right too.

My 10 month old fosterling is starting to walk and is the happiest little soul I have ever met.

Both babies had a tough start in life so it has been wonderful to watch them strive to do what they want to do, to watch them reach each goal and milestone.

Love this post, so much! What a great thing to read

The sun is shining.
After working bloody hard through lockdown, as the rest of the team were furloughed, we were all made redundant 8 weeks ago. I had a job offer this week which I have accepted!
My teenager persuaded me to buy Disney+ and we are going to watch Hamilton tonight.

We re-started long overdue DIY today. There's a quite a way to go but hey, first step and all that.

I have three new books to read

My DH and I saw our best friends today, the first time since we moved 200 miles away in January. It was weird and socially distanced but it was like no time had passed at all.

My little bit of good news is that today we went to our local farm shop and I found this perfect dinky little jar of orange zest honey which made me very happy!

Just watched peanut butter falcon on Netflix eating dominoes pizza with DS who elected to stay home this semester as all online! Such uncertain times but all is well for now and today was a good day 🥰

Had a fabulous day today in thirsk bird of prey centre.
Not expensive.
Well recommended over 70 birds and they fly about 30 every day.
If you’re local do support it, they only Reopened end of July and close end of October so really need that extra income

Thanks so much for all the good news stories here, it really is nice to hear

I planted some Spring flowering bulbs today - I feel the need to demonstrate faith in the future. All being well, they will be beautiful next March-June. Afterwards I sat in the sun and finished the book I've had on the go for ages. A lovely peaceful day 😊

My good news is that we have a frog living under some plants just outside our patio doors , he is beautiful and brightens my day .

We are ten days away from completing on our dream house in Leeds. I’ve wanted to move back there for 30 years!

My sister who has been trying to conceive for 7 years is now 6 weeks pregnant! This for me has made a shitty year now feel amazing!

I separated from my husband last year. After all the grief, sadness, anger etc me and our 2 girls moved into a lovely house last month where we feel super calm and content. Our new sofas arrived this week and I have spent most of the weekend testing them out 😊

It’s my pups 2nd birthday. We nearly lost her when she was young so every birthday seems so much more special!

It’s a beautiful day here, had a long walk round the local woodland paths. Just had a chilled glass of white wine, chicken roasting in the oven & looking forward to a lovely roast dinner.
