Things that have made me smile today

Coming downstairs this morning to find Melvin asleep on the new (to us) sofa in our dining room.



One of my birthday cards sat waiting for me to buy it a frame as it's too pretty not to be displayed.


Finding this book, which was one of my all time childhood favourites, at a car boot sale for 10p.

T spent an hpour this afternoon taking part in a sponsored cycle. As it has been drizzling with rain more or less all day by the time we went out there were plenty of puddles for S to jump in. After a particularly big splash in one she looked at the pattern the water had made on the ground and said 'Look mum I've made fireworks!' What a fab way to describe it.

    I am liking not worrying about blogging and commenting, though I've probably got lots to write about, still just enjoying things on my own and not having to share!!
