life as it is

1. Visited Hornby Visitor  Centre . Really enjoyed it. Had a really lovely latte in their cafe. 2. Son opened the car door and a passing bird left his calling card. I must admit I did laugh. But later on when having a tea at the coast , a low flying herring gull flew over my head so low that I felt it's wings on my head.son laughed. 3. Had a great time at Broadstairs, many happy memories of my dad and 2 eldest children. Youngest son never met his grandad, as my dad died the year before he was born. They would of loved each other. 4. Still miss you dad.x

1. The satifaction  of putting out the recycling. 2. Doing son's room so he can start building his train set up. 3. Went for a walk in the rain, felt better for it and saw a lonely yellow tulip amongst the daffodils.

1. Even though her baby sister is still not been born yet, my granddaughter has put in an order for a baby boy next time and she has already got a name for him! How sweet. 2. Went visiting today and the person who I went to visit is usually very dour and he doesn't  smile a lot, I got greeted with a big beaming smile and it's really nice to see you again. That made my day and with the above comment from my granddaughter my week has been made. 3. Having a chat with a lady on the bus home, she was telling me that she lived near where I live about 23 years ago. And it was nice to talk about old times.

1. Marmite and toast, cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon. 2. Walking up a steep hill and not getting breathless. That has encouraged me to continue losing weight. 3. Trying to get up from the floor and my granddaughter saying "you look silly nanny"

1. Playing picnics with my granddaughter. Granddaughter no 2 still not here, but she soon will be. 2. 'No kisses nanny ' as I leave granddaughter . 3. A brisk walk home in the wind.

1. Seeing the blossom on the trees, on a beautiful spring day. 2. Son is slowly getting over the dread of doing his theory test. 3. Got over my dread  of my neighbouring large town. Since the shopping mall been there, the town lost it's charm. So went there today and was pleasantly surprised. So a good morning was had.

1. Not having to bundle up to go out and not having to wear rain gear. 2. Tried a new flavoured porridge maple and pecan. Wasn't quite sure, but it has grown on me. 3. An other foodie or should I say drink, I haven't bought it yet, but I noticed that there is a hot peanut drink on sale, it's powdered form like hot chocolate. I guess I will buy some to try. Sounds interesting.

1. Surviving a car crash. No one was hurt, but shocked. 2. Telling my boss that I am moving on, but still will be able to help one afternoon a week. She was very good about it. 3. Buying my first pair of trousers in a size smaller.

1. Me, Columbo & crochet. 2. Had a dream that I can remember. In a way it has disturbed me but in a nice way, if that is possible ? 3. Bumping into a friend while shopping, have not seen her for a while. We must meet up for a proper chat.

1. My son left me a note, sorry I forgot to ask you about your day. Bearing in mind he is autistic, this is the first time he has done anything like this. A big lump in my throat. It made this week a lot better. 2. Had to travel by train again. My train was on time, so had a few minutes to spare, me feeling smug.   Then a train pulled in and it didn't go it stayed standing and standing, then all of a sudden there was an announcement say there was problems with the doors. Everything moved so fast, the doors were sorted , the train left, there was so many announcements to keep us informed on what was going on. It was done so smooth, with minimum of delays to the other trains. Well done Southern trains. 3. Went for training for my new job, there is so much to take in. But so enjoyable, learnt so much.

1. Clearing up the toys after my granddaughter been to visit. Nice to see the toys scattered about. She wanted to help, but she had to go home quickly, as her daddy was cooking dinner. 2. Treated myself to a dinner service. It's a green and white and very spring like. And it was half price. Bargin! 3. Another bargin, 2 small bottles of washing up liquid for £2 , 1 large bottle of washing up liquid £2.20 . The 2 small ones have over a 1/4 more liquid than the one large one.. It happened before with cooking oil, bought 2 small bottles cheaper and more oil than the large bottle.

1. " play hide'n'seek nanny. I don't peek when you hide" said my granddaughter, peeking when I go and hide! 2. Talked to some 6th formers who are raising funds to go to Ecuador next year for a month. You often don't hear about the teenagers who do good things , always the ones who are in trouble. They are going to help in Ecuador in various projects. They have only just started to raise funds , so I hope that they will reach their goal. 3. Won a beautiful sparkley pen and notebook in a raffle.
