Things That Gladden The Heart

The positivity in dreadful adversity being shown by my dear cousin (58) who has inoperable cancer...diagnosed bowel in Feb - and after an ileostomy earlier this year recently found in liver and in lungs. She's started palliative care chemo yesterday...fortunately her immediate family have a very strong faith (much stronger than mine) and that helps her and my relatives able to cope when her future is not good. It makes any issues I might have pale into insignificance...and provides a valuable perspective on life, living and coping for both myself and my wife (who is herself in early remission with BC). GBY Izzy.

Gladden the heart? - maybe not quite however...
 
Raise you Maltesers. Did a bag yesterday in work straight from the fridge and no, didn't share!!!

But can you shove one up a nostril and then blow it across the room as a former girlfriend of mine could once do. She had other talents but this one was Malteser-related.
 
The C130 which just flew over the course at well below the legal limit 😂 with the Loadie sat on the back tailgate behind the gpmg - excellent aircraft
 
Spending the afternoon on the course with the Juniors in my role as JLO.
 
The gorgeous bright blue sky over the golf course today. Then some light clouds that looked liked they'd been hand painted onto the sky. Stunning.
 
A bit of a novelty for me today
Played with a mate at his club and walked off without needing to clean shoes and with spotless troos.
Playing tomorrow at the Zoo might be a little different....

They were our wedding day pudding.
The year before I spent ordering them as my pudding every time we went out for a meal. Bear in mind I was following the F1 calendar so I had a good diverse portfolio for my test.
I concluded that interpretation may be different but even so they were always extremely palatable. 😎👍
 
Coming home to a wonderful pot of homemade stew and dumplings and a homemade apple and blackberry crumble and custard. Now sitting on the sofa full and rather content with life

Now that's a meal. You can keep your fancy expensive restaurant "meals", where you find a little something in the middle of a bloody great plate.
Just reading what you wrote has made me raving hungry.
Glad you enjoyed it.😀

Came home after practice tonight to a homemade leek and potato soup from vegetables from HID's school farm. Wholesome warm and filling
