    :D:D the whole day to myself, to do what I wish and no need to go out :D

    I shall most definitely defrost the large upright freezer and am always pleased when that is done as I find out exactly what is in there and always seem to make much more room. :D I defrosted the smaller one last night so that is an added incentive to do this one today. :D

    Breakas and exercises first though :wink::)

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Sounds very satisfying getting the freezer defrosted and reorganised, Elna.

    I have a friend coming today and I'm hoping after I have plied her with coffee and bikkies that she will "do out" my fridge - I can only reach certain parts of the inside of the fridge on hip restrictions ...

    It's a beautiful sunny day - so don't spend all day doing chores - will you?!

    I intend to spend sometime in the garden today - pottering about and reading - yippee!!

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    Driving with my friend today and a red deer trotted across the road.
    What a wonderful sight. What a privilege :D:D
    Hope it finds a new home in our green corridor.

    :D:D Going to see Swan Lake at the Royal Albert Hall today. :D

    Leaving at 5.00 p.m. There are 8 of us going and I am not paying - even better! :D We have a minicab both ways so no worries there either! Looking forward to it very much. :D I would never get hubby to a ballet - well I did once and he slept through the whole performance! :roll: :)

    Hope all have a good day!

    "Happy Birthday dear Dementia"

    Has living with you added to the stress of life for her?

    I wondered why we were looking for that egg!

    I'm in the garden where there is a nice cool breeze, I have a cuppa tea and some apple puff - heaven!

    It has been another lovely day today, birds singing fish are bobbing up and down for the food we put in.

    The flowers are coming along nicely some are in bloom. What a nice day it has been.

    I am cheerful today because I have my computer up and running again after moving out of London last Tuesday.

    I'm also cheerful because moving has already proved to be the best decision we have ever made and we are as happy as pigs in mud :D
