Reasons To Be Cheerful

[LadyCG]

I can't think of any to be honest but I'd love to hear others' RTBC.

If I think of any, I'll list them.

I was just making a shepherd's pie, while 'tasting' the red wine I would put in it and thinking, "Well, things are alright at the moment."

[LadyCG]

Sounds lovely, Minty.

I am tucked up in bed with a cup of tea, which is rather nice.

[LadyCG]

Shepherd's pie sounds lovely but I just can't be bothered to cook and OH said he wasn't hungry so I won't bother.

[SparklyKid]

Reasonably good health at 73.
No debts.
Nice neighbours in quiet area.
Lovely wife.
Nice family.
Eight grandchildren.
Some hobbies.

I concentrate on the above when winter gets me down.

hope you feel better soon...xx Salmon en croute...crispy potato slices..green beans, carrot batons and baby corns...lemon meringue to fill the wee cracks up ! and...a box of Christmas Ferrero Rochers is shouting down at me from upstairs hiding place !!!

[LadyCG]

What more could you want, SK?

That sounds nice, Minty. Ferrero Rocher are my weakness. I made a cake inspired by FR not so long ago.

Lovely and warm in here. Little dog fast asleep and content by the fire after a good long walk and run earlier. Chicken cooking away in the oven for tea. Looking forward to Dancing on Ice later ! Simple things, but I'm content.

The English stuffed the Irish at Rugby in Dublin yesterday.

^ YAY !

[LadyCG]

The simple things are the best, hereiam. Like the little snooze I just had :-)

The English stuffed the Irish at Rugby in Dublin yesterday.
The Welsh won but didn't play well at all
The Scots won but stuffed themselves by needlessly conceding three tries
The log fire is going
The chicken is in the pot and roasting away - lemon bread crumbs, 1.5 lemons, tarragon in there, marsala and Noilly Prat to be added in 10. Roasted rattes and a selection of veg like cauli to be roasted as well.
3 weeks down of my fallow period, one to go. Cold Becks Blue shortly.

Just coming back from my beautiful little grandaughter's 4th birthday party, in Hertfordshire. Plus our lovely little grandson, who is a year old now, was there too. Weatherwise its been glorious too. So very cheerful!

[LadyCG]

Sounds great, DT. I might have a cheeky gin later.

Lovely, Patsy. Little man in my Avatar is one on Wednesday x

[Patsy33]

He looks a proper little boy now LCG. A gorgeous one at that. Where has the time gone?? x

[hereIam]

He's one already, aww bless. Time does indeed fly.

I'm suffering with on and off razer throat, laryngitis, and a drippy nose...but I managed to get a seafood platter from M and S...normally £15, for £3.75....yayyyyy!

[Hopkirk]

I found some chocolate brownie ice creams yesterday at Aldi.

[pastafreak]

EDIT:..'razor' throat

[LadyCG]

It does indeed, Hereiam.

Nice bargain, Pasta.

Hopkirk, that sounds very indulgent...but nice.
