Reasons To Be Cheerful

[LadyCG]

1. I had a great night out with friends from work last night. Lovely Italian restaurant. Lots of laughs. Just what I needed.

2. OH is taking me out for the day. We're thinking somewhere in Warwickshire.

3. My cousin-in-law is picking me up next Thursday so we can sit in her lovely back garden and drink wine, whilst putting the world to rights. I did the same for her Thursday just gone, so she's returning the favour.

4. Everyday we are getting closer to moving to our new home. I can't wait to get in and start transforming the place.

5. In 4 weeks' time we will be heading to St Ives. We've booked a couple of very nice restaurants, one of which is where we ate the evening we got married.

6. My lovely husband has treated me to some nice clothes and accessories to go back to work in September. He can be thoughtful when he tries ;-)

7. It's lovely to be part of a community like AB, even if you don't necessarily get on with all the members at times.

8. The sun is shining and we'll shortly be having a spot of breakfast out in the garden.

9. I'm fit and well, and so are those I love.

10. Last but not least, I have a lovely little family and wouldn't be without them for the world.


What are your RTBC?

Afternoon tea at the Ritz, today, with my mum and best friend. A few cocktails after.....

[LadyCG]

Rocky, that IS a reason to be cheerful. I hope you have a lovely time. What's your sort of cocktail? Mine would be gin, prosecco and elderflower based.

[Zacs-Master]

Very simple ones mine. Just had a walk and Zac was very lively which is nice at his age. Bumped into lots of people I know and had brief chats. Just been chatting to our window cleaner (who’s also a mate and I owe an awful lot of thanks to). Going out later with an old College buddy for drinks, in Leeds.
Oh, and the sun’s just come out.

[LadyCG]

Those are all wonderful reasons to be cheerful, Zacs.

[Zacs-Master]

:-))

[rockyracoon]

Cocktail wise, I’m a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, kinda gal.

Zac - how old is Zac? What breed(s) is he? Dogs are fantastic family members, unlike the little furry devils that I live with ...

[Zacs-Master]

Zac is 15 year old border collie. And my best friend.

I used to have B/Collie, wonderful dogs if you train them right, we used to travel the Country at the weekends taking part in agility trials, still got all her rosettes, miss her so much. (Sorry to butt in LadyC)

[LadyCG]

I love dogs and this is CB so no apology needed.

Border collies are lovely dogs. I still miss my Alfie. I was looking in my jewellery box last night for some earrings and I came across a little heart-shaped trinket box that I keep a lock of his hair in. It's lost its smell completely now.

[DarceyK123]

Aww, I bet that brought a lump to your throat, they never leave your heart do they?

[Zacs-Master]

Zac walks without a lead (unless he’s near livestock of course) and responds to about 25 or so commands / words which is nowhere near what they can achieve. he’s almost stone deaf now, but I find he responds to the gestures which accompany said commands / words just the same, so body language must be very important in training dogs in general.

[LadyCG]

It did choke me up. He would have loved chasing all the butterfies in the garden this summer.

[Zacs-Master]

Why don’t you get another NoM?

Mmm, Maybe a bit much with a house move and a new baby though.

[Zacs-Master]

Oh, a movie camera.

[Tashi]

Work is going very well, I live with people who love me, and me them, and we have two lovely rescue dogs.

[kvalidir]

Yeah they're great, nice thing is I can use my Canon fit lenses with it from my stills camera plus I've got adaptors for some really nice old Zeiss glass. Very happy at the moment with it. x
