It's so hard for people to picture just how tiny they are. She's smaller than my water bottle I take to golf!
Hands the size of your thumb nail. Never fails to leave me in awe.
In a couple of days time it will be 29yrs since I was part of a transfer team that saw a very Prem baby transferred to Jimmy’s in Leeds. It wasn’t a straightforward transfer…
I cried at his 21st birthday party, watching him laughing and joking with family and friends. Don’t know where the tears suddenly came from - bit of a release maybe, or maybe I’m just getting old and sentimental. The job is more than a job, a vocation maybe. The urge not to leave at the end of your shift, and the urge to get back in as soon as you wake up.
For me, there’s no better job in the world. And even though 5yrs retired, when I watch the news and see the NHS in crisis I get that urge to get back on shift - a conversation I’ve had several times in the last couple of weeks.

Fresh bread. Spent a bit more getting a very nice bread maker and now enjoy fresh bread for my sandwiches every day at work. Heaven.
I'm into sourdough baking and love it when a fresh loaf comes out of the oven

I have no baking skill whatsoever. I can cook very well but my baking just does not work so this panasonic machine is great. Flour, water, butter, salt and sugar in the mixing bowl, yeast in the yeast dispenser, nuts, seeds etc in the dispenser, press button and wait for bread to emerge. As it does everything for me and adds everything at the right time when it is needed, it is heaven for me. The fact that it has a timer as well means I can wake up on a Sunday to a warm, fresh loaf for breakfast.

You’re a brave man, I had a walk through the woods last night, it was seriously icy, not a cat in hells chance I’d risk it on my MTB.
No ice, just lovely thick snow. Mind I don't do technical down hill ?

The Elizabeth line. Great piece of engineering and station architecture, albeit 4 years late and 4 billion over budget! Hopefully the unions will not deprive us of using it too often!

Some people never learn and can't see the wood for the trees unfortunately.
Its a diversion tactic of the real issue and people buy it so easily.

…that I’m a member of a lovely golf club just five minutes drive away…the house is a building site with three rooms out of use - and the kitchen completely out of commission.
Will head off to club about 9am for breakfast and quiet, once I know the builders don’t need me about for anything.

Is this supposed to be the Things That Gladden the Heart thread?

Yep.
However the thread was subjected to union bashing and there has been a reaction to that.
I think that explains it.
