Happy thoughts - No Doom and Gloom
I thought it might be a good idea, to have a thread on the positive things in our lives!
My greatest joy in life can be found in the shape of an 18.5 kg bundle of Staffy affection. He really makes a positive difference to my life.

Awww this is a great idea @Ranald 🤗 He looks adorable! May I ask what his name is?
My happy thoughts are with my friends and how lucky I am to have great, supportive people around me. I haven't always so I count my blessings 😊

That's great to hear, Holly. We are social animals after all!

What a languid posture! I don't know much about cats, but i know they can go from sprawled out to over a six foot wall in the blink of an eye!

I've never been to Cornwall, nor indeed Somerset @michael57. I really hope to visit 'off season' some day.
I have known several folk from Bristol who made the wise choice to move to Angus, and they raved about the scrumpy that they drank in their youth. I am very interested in that!
I saw a film in recent years, shot in black and white. It focuses on a Cornish fisherman who has lost the family cottage to affluent down from Londoners. Well worth a look ( No offence intended to anyone in London, this is a particular subset lol).

I should imagine the cider is made a lot cleaner nowadays compared to how we used to make it on the farm in the 50s near Glastonbury with the old cider press that stuff would make your hair curl

Feeding these precious stray furrrrr babies outside my home every day makes me feel happy. 😊 (and sad at the same time to because they dont/wont have loving homes to got afterwards due to irresponsible owners not neutering there indoor/ outdoor pets who then get other random cats pregnant whos litter end up being homeless too UGH!!!, but thats a whole notha story for a whole notha day)
They look soOOo cute and sweet while they wait so patiently & politely for me to come home all looking like little sweet nursery school children lol 😅

I grew up in Somerset, moved to for Devon for a job and I spent 16 years living there before moved to Cornwall 9 years ago.
This is my forever home now and I love it here.
I am 5 minutes walk from the town and beaches.

Now you've said it, I remember. 😊 My little brain can only hold small amounts of information at one time 😅

That reminds me of something I read in a Karl Pilkington book the other day something like this… (read it in a northern accent)
Me brain forgets important stuff as soon as I've learnt it, science or instructions for something just disappear, but pointless facts stay. Once driving home from holiday as a lad, me dad betted with me that I couldn't remember the number plate of the car in front by the time we got home. I did, and I can still remember the sodding thing today, and even that it was on a Ford Anglia. Why can I remember that but not something useful?

That sounds just like me. I remember what colour of dungarees I had on at the 1979 nursery picnic, but couldn't remember to get the dog's food out the freezer before bed! (Gus wasn't amused getting his breakfast at 14:30 this afternoon).

Good morning all.
I am hoping to go out later and watch the bowls championships.
The bowling field is beautiful and overlooking the sea.

I hope you enjoy it. The weather is mild here, but you can tell the summer is on the wain.
My maternal grandfather was a keen bowler. Working Saturdays all his life, it was something he could do with his weekday off.

Its been raining a bit here but hopefully it won't stop or ruin the games.

They are a tough lot, those bowlers, they'll soldier on! ☂️
