Re: Small things that make you smile each day
Dunno about everyday, but today I had a bit of smile on me mooie.
The in-laws are currently dossing at Chez Gremlin, looking for a bungalow locally. M-I-L is not in a good way, with dementia adding to her health woes and disabilities. Gremlinette just told me that she's arranged for a couple of friends to pop over and they're all going to sit with her, break out the tea and biscuits, maybe do her nails, and just generally keep her entertained.
Bless 'em. Nice bunch of kids.

Re: Small things that make you smile each day
A detached bungalow could be a very canny investment right now with the recent planning announcement. If it works out I can add 50 square metres to mine for about 10k (plus all the other bits I want at the same time).gremlin wrote: Tue Jul 21, 2020 3:57 pm Dunno about everyday, but today I had a bit of smile on me mooie.

Re: Small things that make you smile each day
I cycled this morning!! Stationary bike in a gym!!
The rehab place has a gym but with COVID restrictions I can only get there for 30 mins twice a week
Started yesterday and did 8km in 22 mins and increased the resistance up by four thingies in that session. Speed 19-24kph
Today the physical rehab guy came to see me and asked if I was free this morning as there was a space!!!
26 mins. 10km. Higher resistance and speed!!!
Well chuffed as I didn’t think I’d manage ten minutes let alone more than 20 two days in a row!!!

My wife telling me to get a bike because it makes me smile.. that made me smile all right!

One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

Re: Small things that make you smile each day
Today, I cut my boiled potatoes (with my lunch) with the knife in my right hand!!!!!! Such a small thing to make me very very VERY happy!
Ok, the orthotic was holding my wrist straight (and helping my finger and thumb hold the knife) and I have a support attached to the table so that my arm is at the right sort of height.
But despite all the assistance stuff, I COULD CUT MY POTATOES!!!!
Oh. And the computer tech in the centre has just been and persuaded my laptop to actually use the wifi here!!! Woohoo twice in one day!!!!
