Three Good Things

The cakes look good.

My 3 good things

Now I am dog-less, I could kitten sit for my nephew so I had a 12 week old kitten to stay overnight. Lovely thing, if very sharp clawed and toothed! Over 30 years since i have had a cat, so was nice to have one around for a while ( still dog person though)

Pub lunch outside with my son today.

Next weekend plan to stay with my daughter in Sheffield and we are going to see a film ( Stand by Me) in a cave in the Peak District. Apparently the seats are not very comfortable so my daughter has played the cancer card for me and they are offering to let us have a sofa there for us( used to do so in pre-covid days but all change due to need to clean). I can imagine we will get some envious looks.

As an aside, I listened to radio 4 prog by Michael Moseley called "just one thing" which is about one thing you can do to help physical and mental health - today was a gratitude diary each day - guess this is what this thread is in a way. The other "just one thing" things, are cold showers for immune system (no thanks), standing on one leg regularly to improve balance and lessen likelihood of falls ( I do this when cleaning teeth, swopping legs every 30 secs), squats which apparently aid cognitive function, 4/6 breathing technique, early morning walks in nice place etc. Nothng mind blowing but a reminder there are simple things which we can do to help ourselves. Cake baking hasnt been on the list so far though!

Just had Xmas dinner  with brother, Angie, , sister in law and two of their kids in case I don't make December,

Am nicely drunk, have embarrassed everyone one.

Love you all on here. Xxxx

I’m guessing that’s peak cavern keep thinking of doing the film in the cave but my back wouldn’t cope. 

Ooh those cakes look good, love bread pudding 

1. Went for a drive around the Peak District yesterday afternoon 

2. stopped at the Chatsworth farm shop to buy goodies. Got scones, bread pudding and meat and potato pie

3. had scones for lunch today

Thank you for the helpful tips. I just need to remember to do them.

I do go for a walk in the fields with my dog every morning xx

Lovely to enjoy the scenery of a beautiful are and local produce x

What a good idea to have a Xmas dinner .

we missed seeing our son for Xmas because of restrictions 

glad you had a good time xx

That is a good idea  I’m going to pinch it for our 64th birthday in November.
1. Our youngest son, DIL & my sister came for a BBQ. It was a beautiful evening and the food was absolutely delicious.

2 Our oldest son & DIL came round earlier in the day to go through photos for the therapy room. We went right back to the baby ones & ended up with our family holiday in Kefalonia, absolutely priceless 

3 It feels like we’ve got a reasonable level

of control over what’s happening, and there will be no big changes before the team meeting on Thursday. Lots of rest & a few visits in baby steps xx

It was really great, I have just apologised for over indulging and over enjoying myself!

I do love to read that pleasure is not completely eluding you Tina, it must be lovely having visits from all your family as long as they are not as drunk and noisy as I was and you are getting plenty of breaks. Xxxx
