What was the last good thing that happened to you, or at least the first good thing that comes to mind?
For me it was when me and my oartner had to self isolate when he had a cough. Our neighbour went shopping for us and made sure we had everything we needed. Good egg she is  . |

Quality time on the beach with my boys for a couple of days last week.
The weather was absolutely fantastic and it was just so good to doing something more normal out of the house and all that.
It really has lifted my spirits.
Thank you weather gods  |

"I was made redundant 2 weeks ago, I managed to get another job quite quickly and start on 3rd Aug, banging  "
Amazing! Good luck in the new job! Maybe the change will turn out to be for the good . |

"I had a good old belly laugh at the young posers wibble wobbling on their paddle boards and falling in, they went down like domino's  "
We do need to amuse ourselves wherever we can in these times  . |

"This is really shallow compared to yours Lacey, but it was the amazing sex I had last night. 
So did I, it was with myself of course"
Having sex with yourself is great! They always know what you like . |

Just got back from an amazing week on the south coast, mostly spent on the beach. Swam in the sea every day with my daughter, dropped lucky with the weather! |

"I managed to stop a bullet with my foreskin
Bloody hell. Did you save yourself or another?
I lost my foreskin to save a fish taco"
Well I hope the taco was worth it! You seem to have some remains in your beard. Unsure if taco or foreskin... |

Funnily enough I've just been writing about joy and moments in time
Today for me it was hearing my mum's voice, having a catch up and putting the world to rights. Also knowing that I'm counting down the days until I actually get to see her again |

All through lockdown I've been exchanging little gifts with one of my friends. I sent him a cheese hamper, he sent me a pack of cocktails. I sent him some books, he sent me a load of chocolate.
Yesterday I got home to find he'd sent me two ripe mangoes. I'm just eating one and it's beautiful.
Now I need to decide what to send back this week. |

I can't narrow it down to one so I'm going to choose two (#polylife) (sorry that was dire)
One, the lovely messages in my inbox that I really didn't expect today. I feel not invisible and smiled a lot when I read them. People are wonderful and I won't forget that any time soon. And my close friend who is always there for me.
Two, my mum has gone and bought a very expensive stunning cathedral veil for her wedding. She's said that when I get married I can have it and I think it's the first wedding related thing that I've seen that actually makes me think I could be an okay looking bride. |

I received a beautifully hand written letter from my friend in Germany.
Saying thank you for our friendship. For being there for her and that she will always be there for me. We vid call and meggase often and that was totally unexpected.
I hope to see her soon when she's back. I really miss her.

You go for it Meli! I'm so glad your life is full enough of joy to find it hard to choose!
This is so lovely to read. I can almost see your smiles. And you will make a beautiful bride. Mostly as you radiate positively and happiness so much already that I know you will glow so, so bright on your wedding day. |

My company sent me a letter and a hamper to say thanks ans tell me they appreciated my efforts holding everything down during covid. I actually really appreciated that tbh. They could have just said times are tight thanks for your efforts but they went a bit further which will work in both our interests I guess.... |

Went to the beach with the kids. Found a secluded spot and was great to see them allowed to be kids again! Their smiles were huge and was so nice to see them having fun! And we built a giant sandcastle, and we braved the sea, and we got donuts.
Great day today!
(Plus Mr. Racer took the hint of chinese for tea!  ) |

Having my boy working from home for a few months while his company in Scotland is closed because of Covid. Hadn't seen him since Christmas
Having a meal and chat with both my sons was amazing.

That was lovely of them. Sometimes it just becomes expected to crack on and cope in a crisis and its totally unfair. Employers who appreciate their staff and their efforts are so valuable. |

That sounds like such a great day! It's so sad how much kids have missed out on this year so its great when they get to properly be kids as you say. Hope you enjoyed the Chinese . |

Congratulations! I imagine it was a double celebration. I'm so glad you got that time with them. I hope you get more time with them soon. |

It must be lovely to have him at home again. Lockdown has been rough but one positive is a lot of people getting more quality time with either those they live with or those close by which is nice. I've become a lot closer to our neighbours! |

We had Raspberry plants in the garden when I was a kid. I have so many memories of the neighbourhood children coming round to pick some to take home. |

I was quite fearful as I read it. We used to meet up once a week or so for a glass of wine, a meal after a long hard day at world and put the world to rights. She's much you younger than I and calls me her British mom.
Your neighbor's seem so lovey..how thoughtful and caring of them. |
