Five good things

Opening the curtains in the living room, seeing a snow covered world outside and getting just a hint of the excitement I used to feel as a child, Oooooh pretty snow. Right before thinking, brrr, not going out in that.

Deciding that we were "snowed in" and not going out shopping.

Mum saving be a big blob of marzipan from her Christmas cake.

Dad telling us that he'd played "better" at snooker. (He is taken out by a volunteer once a week and they usually go to a snooker club for a game and a beer. My Dad used to be captain of his local team many years ago and had a cupboard full of trophies. He thought he'd forgotten how to play).

Standing in the garden watching the birds eating the seed I had just put out.

  4. My five good things...

    - Realizing I am in plenty of spendable cash and getting items just like that, plus purchasing something for this patronly figure who had liked it last year (chikki!).

    - Getting startled at my own image in the mirror. How did I start looking like that.

    - A dinner out with DH and colleagues on Saturday night.

    - Loving the chocolate my bro got for me from the US.

    - Receiving a baby comb, onesies and tiny baby caps for Kaiser. I knew of the first two items, but the third was a complete surprise, and lovely!
