Phew! hasn't it been a scorcher? We are just not used to it are we but we have survived it so far with lots of drinks and fans in almost every room and thankfully it's much cooler now.
Louie has been living in just his nappy but was still happy to have Nanny cuddles...he likes to copy me [especially when I poke my tongue out] and is chuckling now...he's such a cutie.
We filled our paddling pool and you can see we weren't the only ones to enjoy the cool water.
We had a tiny visitor yesterday when a baby wren flew in through the patio doors. I was able to pick him up in my sewing room window and have quite a long chat with him sitting on my hand while he recovered before he flew off...don't you just love nature?
Finally here's a few pics I took in our garden yesterday. A lot of the flowers are suffering from the heat but our tomatoes are ripening well now in the greenhouse.
Finally here's the funnies I've found this week...there seems more than ever but thought you'd like to share them. Have a great week my friends.
Here we are at my round up of smiles that I write each Friday and I invite all to join in to share their smiles. There is more than enough sad/bad news about so please help me to bring a few smiles into our friends lives each week.
My sales of masks seem to be easing off now [thankfully] so it's allowing me rather nore time to do what's needing to be done. I've made lots of Memory bears over the last couple of weeks and the one lady that I made three for came back for another one because she loved them so much....and that always makes me smile. :-) :-)
Saturday morning I had a message from a Bank manager from London asking me if I could provide them with face masks.....lots of them!! I'm really not sure I will get a firm order but it really made me smile that they even considered little old me for the job.....so if I do get an order I may be looking for out workers :-) :-)
Here's a few more smiles I can share with you all....
Steve has been having his football training lessons over the internet with his instructor so the lap top has been put under the tree so he can train in the shade.
Lexi has been having her dance lessons over the internet and here she is doing the scorpion pose for me.
Our garden just keeps on giving. The Rhododendrom top middle is another bush that's now out in full bloom...it's a bit pinker than the one on my new blog header. The bees, butterflies and insects are loving all the flowers we have blooming and we have even seen a damsel fly and a woodpecker in the garden this week but sadly I wasn't quick enough to capture in on film.
Finally here's a snap to make you laugh. We filled a paddling pool up thinking Milly would enjoy the cool water but she will only go close to it to drink and won't venture in so I thought I would show her just how lovely and cool it was by putting my hot feet in it....she wasn't convinced sadly.
Please leave me a little hello comment so I know you've dropped by and then link up to your own smiles to help make the world a happier place to be.
Wahooooo week 26....that means we have had 6 whole months of sharing our happy posts and making others smile.....doesn't it feel good?
We had lots joining in last week so thank you so much to all of you for joining in the fun. I am featuring the gorgeous photo Ros shared with us of her gum blossoms.....aren't they just something else? Such a pretty colour. She also shared a funny with us that really got me chuckling so thank you Ros for making my day.
This week I am sharing a couple of collages that made me smile.
Our little granddaughter Lulu had a falling out with a fire door on Thursday night and was rushed to hospital having very nearly taken the end off the middle finger on her left hand. She had xrays and her finger was dressed while she was there and then sent home for the night. She then had to then go back first thing on the Friday morning to have an operation to stitch it back on....ouch. She was such a brave little girl and we are all so very proud of her.
She has to keep her dressings clean and dry for 10 days [hense the plastic bags :-) ] and go back next Tuesday to see how it's all healing.......have you ever tried to keep a 3 year old clean?
We are keeping everything crossed here that everything heals well with no problems.
The other collage is of some twinnie fun in the sun....wahoooo summer is here :-)
You should be able to click on either collage if you want to read the captions or have a closer look.
We have such a lot here to be thankful for and so much in our lives that makes us smile. Why not snap away with your camera and join in the fun this week by sharing your happy moments?
