Topic: Little thread of calm

[froglets]

stopping at least once every day this week to enjoy the colours of the trees and leaves, even in the built up areas

the smell of a washing drying on the line in the cold crisp windy day we're having here.

Catching up with some old friends later for a curry in Manchester ( big scary trip to the city)

spending the weekend with the man I love.

It's not raining in Manchester, we have a nearly blue sky!  I can go down the lottie and have another bash at putting my b and q composter together, cut myself yesterday trying.
Yay! :D

I caught a bus to my doctor's surgery yesterday afternoon and was treated to a wonderful sunset all the way there.

Today I saw a woodpecker on the peanuts.  Thrilled to bits as I hadn't seen him for quite some time.

The sun is shining and I feel well and happy.

Didn't feel like going to work this morning - so I didn't ::) and, with the rain now hitting the windowpanes, I've been having a lovely time cooking for the freezer. My most fave occupation on afternoons like this 8)

Went to see Mom today. Did her nails for her and listened to her telling us about everyone else in the home. It was so nice to be able to go and have a cuppa and a chat with her and have a laugh without worrying about the 24/7 care.

Read a letter from Grandson Joshua's school, Josh is 13. The letter was sent to young Lorna ...Headed Science Club for Gifted & Talented Pupils. So Joshua has been offered a place in the Science Club. Woohoo!!
Don't they just make you proud :)

Great thread Georgie.

That's great Lorna especially that his school actually does something for their G&T pupils. My son in Year 8 a few weeks after the ofsted visit got a letter that advised me that he was Gifted and Talented in a whole list of subjects not PE and Dance. They had plans to extend these pupils etc......He's in Year 10 just sat his first GCSE Science exam modules today.....and we're still waiting.

My good news he's done 30% of the first year of Double science and I can stop stressing out for a few weeks. This morning he was saying 'I'm Ok I'll be fine but if you carry on like this you're going to make me nervous!'

My friend and I went to the garden centre for a coffee and a chat...to distract ourselves from the worry of the exams that our son's were doing and we had a nice morning despite the worry. I managed to leave without bringing a plant home.

Betula. sending warm wishes to you and your husband.

Shrl. sounds like Mum has settled in very well, so glad for you and Tony.

Kea Thanks, he went last night so hope he keeps it up. Like your son PE and dance are not on his favourite list. His best subjects are Maths. Science and History. Good luck to your son for the future, let us know how things progress

[Amazin]

Just in from work... need I say more!

Looking forward to a smashing day out to a nursery tomorrow with someone almost as nice as me.

 ;D

I received a thank you card today from a children's after school gardening club I'd sent a little something too.  It included photographs and details of what the children had been doing and how much they were enjoying it.  It made my day.   :)
