Cheers Debs. 😊👍

Good people make me happy, and there are plenty on here. 

There sure are 😊

I took my dog for a walk round the local park this morning and it was all misty but still unite mild. You couldn’t see more than 100 yards or so and was very atmospheric. Until some big bastard if a dog charged at us from out of nowhere!

You should have refused to pay!

Being surrounded by beautiful dogs. We've just been to a dog show (Carla Lane) in Lydiate and it was lovely. 🐶🐕🦮🐕‍🦺

A lot of small things - coffee in the morning, pets, friends, and many more. I also really enjoy playing word games. Playing such games can help you increase your attention span, strengthen logic skills, improve reading comprehension and boost vocabulary retention. Look for clues here https://word-finder.com/anagram-solver/ if you can't guess the word.

Playing around with World GeoGuesser and recognizing a hospital car park from an obscure regional hospital that is about 50 miles from me. Managed to get my answer within about 50 feet.

I was at the match with my 17 yo daughter last night. Six rows from the pitch and she is usually so quiet but at one stage she shouts out 'you wanker' to Morelos along with a hand gesture. Had to pretend to be shocked but I was delighted

I was instantly put off by that ... then I realized you said 17 not 7.

Every time I see Morelos' face it reminds me of when my mate got stung by a bee and his face swelled up

Moving into a suburban house having lived in London and Manchester flats since uni and setting up the milk delivery from a nearby farm and the window cleaner from round the corner.

When you keep putting something off because you're bigging it up in your head, and when you finally get around to sorting it, it turns out to be a bit of a doddle. The relief is palpable.

White Rat from Osset Brewery. Lovely stuff

The opposite is a little job that you start with absolute confidence in your abilities to complete it within minutes and two and a half hours later there’s bits and pieces everywhere and it’s still not finished.

Yep

Been dreading stripping my bedroom walls for ages

Just did it last weekend without any ummming. Bought one of those steam strippers, it arrived early and boom, two walls done in 45 minutes

I reckon this is how anxiety and worry does you over

Nothing is more important than the action

Sometimes it's better just to DO something without thinking first. I mean maybe not surgery, but we overthink so much

And I feel good again cause I can paint and it's cool. Rather than Ohhhh this big job ahead of me I don't have time wah wah wah

Boss isn’t it mate? Was speaking to her yesterday about the price of Depeche Mode tickets (£132 standing!) and she said oh we supported them in the early 80s they only had a few hits out. She then said she supported Talk Talk at another gig but I’m not too familiar with them but heard of them.

In our school we always made sure not to play hockey with the girls. We valued our ankles.

Yeah I remember we were always really aggressive when playing too and the lads used to fear playing in the end of season game 😎
