What made me happy today

 I tend not to think about them either, ha! My mum’s Glaswegian and has used Burns night as an excuse for putting an ‘event’ in the calendar in lockdown. 

To be honest I’ve not had haggis very often - it just tastes like black pudding really. If you get a good one it can be pretty good, if you get a bad one it’s a disaster 

The smell of our Burns supper going through the house right now 

Ready for a night full of neeps, tatties and haggis…  (ok, between us, not looking forward to the haggis as much, but still!). 

Time to dig out the tartan...

Did anyone see the Young Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman at Biden’s Inauguration yesterday- wow, she stole the show and only 22 years old . Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful 

Oh, and I’d like to put a ‘belated’ one in for yesterday.

Received a box which appears to contain a ‘new’ induction hob, I guess I will know for sure what’s in there if the Stoves engineer turns up Monday to finally fix/replace mine.

Oh, and got this in the post today. A gift from Pure Planet 

 

Are they worried you’ll starve if they don’t feed you?

Great stuff @Bev! Do we get to see a pic? 

Glad it could be put to good use! 

Well Marc, I’ve always gone for particular types, or brands, with my many backpacks over the years, when used for walking and working, but lately they haven’t been lasting as long. The bag stays perfect, like new in fact, but zips break and edges tear, so realised now that I’m mainly using for shopping these days, I need a slightly bigger one and stronger one. 

Did a lot of browsing, but couldn’t see what I wanted, so just kept using my current one. When that broke Sunday, I came across a slightly larger capacity, made by Blacks 👏👍, and it’s now on it’s way 👏👍

What make did you go for @Bev ?

Sounds good though. For those long hikes to get the steps in!

Lovely Polish man, behind me as I walked into Asda car park, telling me my backpack was wide open! The zip had broken, and I’d walked with the entire front flap fully open, so credit cards on display and a medical ID card. It was sooooo lucky nothing was lost! 

When I got home two hours later, a letter that I’d put in backpack for the 📮, had dropped out the backpack and was still on the floor by the main entrance door to my flats! Sooooo lucky! 🙀🙀🙀🙀

It made me happy that the Polish guy had been so helpful. Anyone could easily have reached in to take the credit cards and ID, or they could have fallen out. I had no idea it was wide open.
