DS' team playing and winning their first game of football in six months. But better than that, no dramas on the pitch, and the messaging between him and friends from the opposing team to congratulate each other on playing well.

Still, glad it's over. My nerves are done in Grin

The staff in my local shop. Saw one of them helping an elderly man find the items on his shopping list round the store today and it was obviously a regular thing. They've run the things so well over this time too.

Some really lovely colleagues. I need to tell myself that they more than make up for the other kind Grin

Sorry you've been ill @Lessstressedhemum

Hilarious conversation with a friend in New York, who was regaling me with the hoops he's required to go through (as a new citizen) to register to vote. Non-drivers' licence, anyone? Hmm
