After what has felt like a very long, cold, wet couple of days, I thought it would do me some good to sit down and come up with 3 Good Things that have made me smile over the last seven days. Just to remind myself that there’s more to life than drizzle!
- Chase and all his friends – Chase always makes me smile, but watching him play with all his friends at the park is always guaranteed to make a day better. Friendship comes in all shapes and sizes, and nothing makes that clearer than when he’s legging it round with Buddy the Chihuahua! They’re polar opposites in size but perfectly happy to bounce about, tails wagging, having the best time regardless.
- SHROOMS! They’re everywhere! From this huddle of Shaggy Inkcaps that Chase found on our walk, to the teeny tiny little mushrooms I found in the grass at the Scout Hut on Saturday – every single one brings me a little rush of joy when I see them. I’m doing my best to learn what they all are, though some of them are guesses because a lot of them look very similar.
- On Thursday I enjoyed going to the Vaults in town to listen to Ryan Evans play. He is always excellent, and I always have no voice the next morning from all the singing along!
What has made you smile recently? Have you seen any interesting mushrooms whilst you’re out and about?
