Reasons to be cheerful!

I made two-minute noodles without burning the house down, which is nice.

Yes, it's quite an achievement.

Just found out that Marvel's Jessica Jones gets released on Netflix November 20th so I'll have something new to watch on the plane.

I now have 14 audiobooks on my iPod shuffle. For some reason, that makes me very happy!

Too advanced, I think!

I'm cheerful tonight because my daughter is back on home soil after a weekend in Paris that she will sadly never forget.

That must have been literally terrifying. Glade she's home safe.

Very pleased for you, Essie Mae!

Thanks all. She was south of the river in the Montparnesse area, so was well away. They just walked and walked on Saturday, as everything was closed, and had a gourmet salad in their room in the evening. Just watching the Pnorama program wih aot more detail about what happened.

I just went to my first Humanist funeral today.

It was a chap who ran a company down the hall from us who we've been friends with for years. A really jolly fella, 68 yrs old, healthy looking and slim. Dropped dead two weeks ago without warning.

Anyway, it was a refreshing and respectful celebration including some lovely readings from family and ending with the rather upbeat music from the BBC's cricket coverage.

I feel uplifted!

[Velma]

Since I hurt my knee, running errands has been difficult to say the least, so my husband has been doing what he can to help me. Yesterday I ran out of deodorant. My husband took a picture of the container with his cell phone. This morning he went shopping and came back with two sticks of my favorite deodorant. He'd used the picture to make sure he got what I wanted. Plus, he brought me back muffins for breakfast! I truly have a wonderful husband!

[Icarus]

Bless you and your clever and thoughtful husband Velma.  I am not smart enough to take pictures of a favored cosmetic but I do pay attention to what Elaine wants when when I shop on her behalf, which is often. She is perfectly capable of doing her own shopping but it is more economical for me to do it. She is an incurable impulse buyer.

  Friday is a reason to be cheerful! I'm cheerful, and because I'm so cheerful I'll even listen to this this song, which is just lyrically brilliant, to celebrate the second best day of the week. Maybe more than once. Yeah.
