Reasons To Be Cheerful

[LadyCG]

1. It's Friday and it's payday.
2. I have Monday and Tuesday off. Monday is OH's birthday and we're going for a champagne picnic.
3. We've managed to find 5 bags of plaster - had to pay through the nose for it though.
4. The weather is beautiful.
5. My aunt got to visit my uncle today for the first time in nearly 2 months. Poor chap has had a stroke whilst recovering from Covid but we've been reassured there's no lasting damage.

What are your RTBC?

[LadyCG]

That'll be lovely, Bobbi. Silver - is that 25 years?

3. The builders round here would be quite envious of you.

1. Rodders has started to be nice to other dogs, so walking him is less stressful.
2. Beautiful weather.
3. I'm just about to make myself an Old Fashioned.

I'll be 66 by the time I celebrate mine. Same age as my MIL is now.

[Bobbisox1]

Sorry, my best wishes to your Uncle Lcg

[Bobbisox1]

Haha, I was 67

[LadyCG]

Well that sounds jolly spiffing, Rocky. What's in an Old Fashioned? I've never had one. I did treat myself to a bottle of Mirabeau Gin today. I should have been going to Ljubljana tomorrow :-(

[Prudie]

It's sunny and warm and will be for days
It's the weekend!
Today we said *** and booked a holiday for Feb next year
There is some light at the end of the tunnel
We had our first Chinese takeaway delivered tonight since lockdown
I heard a cuckoo yesterday for the first time in years

[LadyCG]

We are having glorious weather, 237. Long may it continue.

Thank you, Mamya. I've got some lovely bits and some lovely fizz for it.

[LadyCG]

I've booked for May next year, Prudie. OH doesn't know yet...

RTBC:

1. All my cats are well ;

2. The cat who nver seems to be able to find somewhere he really likes to sleep is fast asleep on my desk next to me, in the corner space (with a nice, soft cat blanket) that I've created especially for him ;

3. I'm in 'week 3' of my 3-week chemo cycle, which is the one where I actually feel reasonably normal, without any side-effect problems ;

4. I had the best lunch I've had for ages today (beautifully fresh sea bream, cooked to perfection) and I've got another portion in the fridge for tomorrow ;

5. I've just opened a bottle of this ;-)

Not my words Milady, but the words of Mr Ian Robins Dury.

I don't really need reasons to be cheerful to be honest. As the great man kept saying,'you keep *** along' and what ever shi'ite sandwich comes your way you swallow it and put it behind you and live to fight another day. I have had a few battles to fight and I won't give in. Of course this beautiful weather helps. Shame I am strictly on the wagon at the moment apart from a slight lapse about two weeks ago when Lidls did a very nice Rioja. :-) Keep safe and savour the day folks.
