1 waking up and knowing our time is our own - loving retirement

2 making a start on dog grooming

3 taking the freezer to the tip

4 Lots of free compost

5 fun with Debs at the allotment - so much in common, and laughs!

6 lovely salad lunch - so filling I didn't need supper

7 sitting holding hands with Al during thunderstorm

8 Heavy rain saved me lots of time (less watering)

9 planting up my cosmos from saved seed - free plants

10 appreciation of people doing jobs that they can't really enjoy but that we couldn't do without - e.g. toilet repairs, tip attendants, Thames Water operatives!

11 Russ looked and sounded better today - he'd been over to Ian's and brought Daisy home.

12 Jezza was wonderful on Question Time, where Mrs May was calling Dianne Abbot names. So finally, a politician and man with integrity with humanity at his core.
