The Things You Are HAPPY About Thread.

Had a virtual quiz last night with about 12 friends spread across about 7 houses, was good to see some fresh faces other than those that live here!

14 days since I returned from the Channel Islands, a period of social distancing and symptom free.

Good news Phil

Sitting outside with a good book, a decent beer and the family. Not too bad at times this isolation.

Did he have you stick your fingers up your butt and describe what you felt?

You're really going to the wrong doctors if that's what he does for a sore throat

Couldn't understand how that had any relevance to my COPD, but you do what your told

Taking my 1 allowed bit of exercise this morning - & I know I am more fortunate than many as have open space within walking distance

Standing out in the countryside in the sun, with a soft breeze rustling the trees - only sound being the birdsong & the odd bleat from sheep in the fields

That made me happy

Bagged a Tesco click and collect slot for tomorrow. Actual tomorrow.

All the BBC radio stations have linked up for the next 20 minutes or so. Lovely thing to do.

 

[Parkins left foot]

'Those were the days' came on the radio a little while ago - standing on my patio singing (with the correct ending to the chorus naturally) makes one happy

No idea what the neighbours think, but then again am not really that fussed.

We are all going to go a bit strange now (some of us sooner than others :nod: )

This afternoon I got to play the "Easter Bunny"!
As a lot of you are aware I am a Volunteer Reserve Trainer with the Air Cadets and last Saturday my Squadron was due to have our Annual fundraising Easter Stall. We had received Easter Egg donations before the lockdown and had a promise of other donations which we decided to not take up. This left us with 28 Easter Eggs of various sizes and so we contacted the local Housing Association who run a Women's Refuge for victims of Domestic Abuse giving a halfway house for them and any children they may have. There has been a little bit of a "spike" in numbers and the refuge currently have 14 women and 9 children sheltering there so I went and got another 4 eggs so that the Squadron could donate 2 eggs to each child as well as an egg to each of the women. The decision to do this was a joint effort by the Squadron Staff and the Civilian Committee but I hope that we have helped in some little way

Well done Mike - whatever we have needs to be shared out with those less fortunate (looking smarter in uniform than usual as well )

Got confirmation just now that the charity I help run has been given a support grant which will ensure that we get though the next few months & got a delivery of essential items out to one of our regular customers this morning - so all in all a good day.

It's just nice to see him so happy and relaxed.
