I just had a real treat..  live Alaskan King Crab on sale for 1/3rd the usual price,It still cost me $71 but now and again we deserve to be totally frivolous and  what person that likes seafood could resist. He weighed 6lbs and I made a piggie of myself,, sooo sad that Joihn doesn't eat seasfood,,,ahh. I am guttedd...not.

Lots left for tomorrow

2nd good news is Joihn loved the toasted cheese sandwiches, tomato soup and Merryberry pie and icecream.

I guess it takes all sorts eh! I should feel guilty but I really don'T LOL

it has been a good day.

This thread has come at a great time for me- my son arrived back in England yesterday after 15 months away and we will see him on Tuesday- with his "new" girlfriend (they've been together over a year but we haven't met her yet-can't wait!!

My older daughter got her exam results on Friday- she's doing a Masters in Bath and said they were the worst exams she'd ever done but got over 70% in all of them.
And we went to see our younger daughter in her first uni dance show in Lancaster on Friday and it was great, then dodged the showers and hail yesterday for a lovely walk above Windermere.

Had a lovely weekend- lovely to hear everyone else's good news too  :D

Went to the dentist this morning - although I still have to have a crown on my molar, two other jobs don't need doing after all (whoopee! loathe dental work).
All my pepper seeds have germinated  ;D
And my brother in law is back home after open heart surgery after a couple of weeks complaining very loudly in hospital! They caught his condition in time and hopefully he will now be on the road to recovery.

Excellent thread!

Went for a cycle ride over the moors today and heard two curlews and saw a flock of lapwings.
It was lovely and sunny we could see right over to Edale and the start of the Pennine way and right down to the powerstations at Burton on Trent, but the birds really made the ride for us.

My petrol mower started first pull today after a its winter off so I cut our lawns and trundled across the road to do my parents lawns at their new bungalow.

Having them so close is making life so much easier and more relaxed for everyone in the family!!  :)  :)


   

No need for a doom-and-gloom national newspaper so another 50p saved again today!!!  ;)

Great to read through other peoples good news - cheers life up alot.  :)

Had a lovely evening with our son and his girlfriend- she is lovely and it was wonderful to hear about all their adventures. They are going to come down to earth with a bump now as they look for jobs and somewhere to live but they will have so many amazing memories to keep them going.Can't get wait to get home from work to see them again tonight! :D
