Three Good Things

My Three Good Things! 

It was a beautiful day

Our grandson and Son had a drink in the garden after their bike ride! (They keep their bikes in our shed).

My husband and I took a short run out in the car as it was such a nice blue sky day. I filled a flask with boiling water, took cups, snacks and fruit for a picnic at Carron Valley Reservoir. Had a walk to the waters edge, went back to have our well earned picnic and WHO had forgotten to put in the teabags & coffee!!! Lol!

How many of us had just some hot water to wet our whistles, loads of us I am sure. Thats what happens when you try to be organised!

The more normal the day, the better it seems. More opportunities to come.  Xx

Lovely for the dog to have a ride and for you to get outside and see the daffodils xx

3 good things today.

1 Had a meeting with my colleagues at the Pilates studio and got my job back!! I may have to retire but I'd like it to be on my terms.

2 Went to the meeting in an accessible taxi. I told the driver it was my first time and he treated me like royalty and was so kind.

3 My sister came and was very reassured by the driver in the way back too. The company hand phoned me to say I'd booked an outward journey and they were worried that there wouldn't be availability to come back because of school pick ups. We booked a time to suit us both, and the driver rang to let me know he was on the way. He also gave me some safety pointers which wer really helpful, and was very encouraging 

Yay me!! Can start teaching face to face at the end of May but Zoom classes and 1:1' s whenever I'm ready, very excited to offer chair pilates classes. Taught them before and loved them  xx

Can I be teachers pet, don't give it to SiT, he's done nothing useful for at least a month, although he does look like a downward dog. I found a couple of chocolate buttons in my back pocket, you could have one as well as the traditional apple?

Well done for teaching Pilates x

My 3 good things for today

1. Watched Bill Bailey on iplayer "limboland" - I laughed out loud several times.

2. Grayson perry's Art club on in 10 mins or so

3. Fruiting dwaf cherry trees I ordered in Dec (  one for Xmas present for someone!) finally arrived yesterday and given I got fed up of pursuing the company, I had already ordered some more from elsewhere - for the Christmas present). They arrived 2 weeks ago, so now I have 2 cherry trees for myself or to gift one to someone else.( they are self fertile so dont need 2 really). Do I go for a glut of cherries or altruism?

I do like Bill Bailey, will catch up with that. Recording the Art Club.

Keep the  trees and share the  buds with the bullfinches They take our apple buds every year!

Hi ownedbystaffies

I'd be inclined to keep them because the birds are so very fond of cherries so you'll have a reduced yield unless you net them or wrap them in fleece. I know because I have 4 full size cherry trees, variety Stella(sweet) but my problem is getting the cherries off before the birds. The trees I have are 30 feet tall ( I've had them 20+years) so unless I hire a cherry picker at £600(no way!) the birds will have the most of them anyway.

What variety do you have? You won't have long to wait for lots of cherries  My wife makes cherry pies every year, they're delish.

We enjoyed Bill Bailey . I especially liked the bit when he met Paul McCartney made me laugh
