Sorry I've not been posting much (bad blogger); lots of not very nice things are happening to me at once and I've been either very grumpy or very sad for the past few weeks. Anyway,  I've always been one of those annoying irrepressible optimists so  here are one or two happies in case someone else needs cheering up.

Number one: on Sunday I didn't want to get out of bed so the teacher dragged me to our local park to look at trees and feed the geese. Two of my very favourite things. Very clever, that boy. Bonus happiness points came from watching the teacher, an anxious only child, trying desperately to feed them without any beak bits touching his hand.

Number two: this face, which the bunny makes whenever the teacher cuddles him like a baby or does his hair. (He loves it really)

Number three: I'll be having loads of free time for the next few weeks. Loads of free time to bake and sew*. First up is a cushion cover I'm going to copy from a big department store. If you don't hear from me in the next few days it's because I'm still in the fabric shop perving over buttons.
