What made you smile today?

My daughter put together this terrarium last evening. We had one in a carboy for years but it’s long gone. I like this one

My deceased Malaysian neighbour had one of these which I much admired, thank you for reminding me of her. Your daughter looks as if she has done a super job.

I was watching "The Remains of the Day", which of course is set pre second world war on a country estate which features the inevitable shooting party, with the inevitable pheasant sound effects.
Cass was as usual settled for the evening sleeping soundly in her Baavet bed - until the said inevitable pheasant sound effects, whereupon she sat bolt upright and investigated the TV as if sleep walking before realisation dawned that it was coming from the black box! And just went back to sleep!
Pheasants must be so ingrained in her DNA/pysche!
I did have to chuckle!

'The Remains of the Day' is one of my most favourite films ever. I've recorded it this time, to watch as a treat at some stage.

@Selina27, I am sure it is ingrained into their psyche! Also the first sighting or scenting of a pheasant sends them off into a delirium of excitement to say the least

They sit there all through the Spring, Summer and early Autumn, looking like nothing much at all, then just when you're pretty much giving up on the garden for the rest of the year, they remind you that they've been there all along, ready to cheer you up through the murky days to come.....View attachment 46392which is why I love Hellebores

I spotted buds at the base of mine ready to bloom soon.

Thisafternoon I was doing some ironing and listening to Classic FM requests. The presenter was asking for people to text in before 4pm about things that brought them joy. It was 3.45, and I thought 'Well, why not?' and sent a quick message saying that my small Black Labrador brings me joy every day, because she's so sweet natured and her name is Joy. I didn't expect anything to come of it, then about ten minutes later I heard 'Well, we've got a bit of a dog theme here', and there was a request from a woman who met her husband when he stopped her to ask what breed her dog was and he (husband) makes her happy and then.... 'and this is from Candy, in Sowerby Bridge, whose dog brings her joy every day, and is appropriately called Joy'!!!
Well, I haven't stopped smiling since!

Pee Ess, the piece of music that was played was 'Rondo Capriccioso', by Camille Saint-Saens, which was beautiful.

Oh no, I missed it! I was out, picking up my eldest grandson from work and chatting to one of my little grandsons in the car, so I didn’t have the radio on. Tuppy would have heard it in the kitchen though!

I hope Tuppy enjoyed it. She'll be wanting a request for her now!

Oh! what a lovely surprise and it certainly made me smile too.

Any (suitable) suggestions?!
