My old dog bounding about, she had a real spring in her step today  The birds singing their little heads off in the garden It's not been so cold today and it's been dry too Seeing OH sweeping out the front porch after I moaned about all the dry mud that falls out of the tread of his work boots, picture it, burly 6ft 3 builder on his knees with a brush and dust pan ;D News that my niece has been offered a place at Nottingham Uni to do a 3yr midwifery course, sooooooo proud ;D particularly as she is a young single mum. The fact that I won't be hearing a jet engine in my kitchen after today, I'm getting my new washing machine delivered tomorrow There is always plenty to smile about and its good to smile |

Thanks folks, the minimum prize is £25 now but it used to be £50. What a pity I could have won £100. Don't give up hope FB ;D I guess I ought to put some towards a drink Barbara ;D
A smile from yesterday........GN was up the garden playing, aunty shouts "what you doing" he replies "making a mess aunty" he had took the lid off the sand pit and filled his wheelbarrow then promptly tipped it out all out on the path ;D

Glad GN made you both smile, I love his honesty too Barbara. I have to try soooo hard not to laugh sometimes so as not to embarrass him, innocence is bliss.

Your GN is priceless Chuckles I love hearing the things he says and does! I walked down the lane from the carpark to school this lunchtime after a fairly traumatic morning at County Hall and the sun was warm and it was a proper early spring day. |

It's lovely when you see something you've forgotten about. It's funny about the crocus, I came across my openingJean D'Arc yesterday and I'd not seen them coming up at all. What made me smile yesterday was seeing the very small shoots of Astrantia, I thought I'd lost it. |

I've just been out (brr its cold) to check on mine and I think they are OK some shoots appearing |

Yesterday I saw my 1st butterfly of the year, it was fluttering around and landed on the white crocus. The day before I found my 1st bee in the same place. ;D

He's on the mend though so thats something to smile about |

Children love to say things like that don't they Auricula. The other parent was a bit stiff to say the least. |

The day before I found my 1st bee in the same place. ;D Bees now Butterflies - do I live in a different country  Nothing remotely like that in moi garden One very fat blackbird tho that makes me smile every morning perched in my cherry tree waiting for his breakfast  It's maybe only because I'm off that I was lucky enough to see them JW and the sun has been shining. Mr Blackbird always makes me smile too. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif |
