Gratitude Days 188 and 189

Day 188   GD5 has such gorgeous hair, even first thing in the morning

Day 189  This is really nice wine, how on earth can they move it from Chile to Andover and still only charge £2.99 (without a hint of anti-freeze!)

Gratitude days 183-187

Day 183  My next year's diary for step counting

Day 184  Home coated, fried plaice with newies, leek and peas

Day 185  I love the ice patterns on the top of GM's car

Day 186  A couple of charity shop finds

Day 187  On a cold and frosty morning

Gratitude days 177-182

Day 177    All the ingredients mixed together ready to make into delicious home-made burgers

Day 178   All over Andover are these blue plaques, the message on this one delighted me

Day 179  Very grateful to be able to sit in my car and wait for the rain to ease off

Day 180    Very grateful that I don't have to go out at all today

Day 181  I'm a half mug full type of person, especially as I've already enjoyed the first half

Day 182   Another chunk of my very favourite cheese

Gratitude day 176

I just loved the way the light from hall lamp, which was one of those with several bulbs in, was refracted through one of the panes of the inner glass door

Gratitude days 170-175

Day 170  completed over a rather wet couple of days

Day 171   one of my favourite spots on my commute across Salisbury Plain

Day 172   it was difficult to get them to stay still, hence the rather blurry picture of GDs 1 & 3 in their new cat cuddle blankets

Day 173    Nanny, you've got a 'mingo on your jarmies (GD5)

Day 174    a rather decayed rose, which I find oddly attractive

Day 175    a rather large spider

Gratitude days 164-169

Day 164    I do love my name and the little gifts that people are able to give me with it on

Day 165    . . .  and another one

Day 166    Remember Giggles? She's been sitting on top of my filing cabinet for over a year now, but decided it's time for her to come out and play again, so she came on a car trip with me.

Day 167      GD2 can still fit into the flower girl dress that she wore to the wedding last year (she's grown upwards but not outwards), and wears it often

Day 168   Most of the pink dye had washed out of my hair, so I bought some more and topped it up myself

 
Day 169    Out with GD2 and GD4 on their bikes
