Any Bouquets ?

[Canary42]

What we can have a good praise about today. Let it rip. :0)

 

1. Checkout cashiers who respond to cheerful chatter.

2. Ditto who help load my bag.

3. The lovely waitresses at my local café, friendly and cheerful.

4. Motorists who respect the difficulties of being a bus driver and respond with courtesy.

5. The sun, for often shining.

6. The receptionist at my local doctor's surgery who is always helpful and pleasant. 

7. Ditto dental surgery.

8. Strangers in the street who respond with a smile and/or a cheerful greeting.

9. Trees.

10. Dog owners who do clean up after their pets.

 

That's much better, I feel really cheerful now 🤣

Nice one!

1. The young person on the bus slouched in the seat, who immediately sat up straight and smiled at me when I needed to sit next to him. 

2. The independent newsagent who sold us 40 scratch cards today (the limit is 10 per person now!) for our Christmas gifting.

3. The woman who works really hard in our local Wetherspoons and never allows a table to go uncleared for more than a couple of minutes. 
 

4. The classroom assistant at the grandkids school who stood on a chair at the back of the hall directing the Christmas Performance as if it were her workout!

5. The driver who let me out at the busy junction this morning. 

6. The Open Reach engineer who removed his shoes, fixed the problem, explained what he was doing and said to give him a shout if we have any more problems. 

7. The bulbs in the garden for showing up year after year.

8. And finally a bouquet to this weekend after which the daylight hours will start to get longer again. Yehhhh

With you on trees

The wild birds that come to my feeders

That I have full cupboards and freezer 

Online shopping... And the nice folk that deliver it ( except Evri....)

[bednobs]

1.the lovely postman who bought my Thorntons package yesterday!
2.the people who bother to put twinkly lights outside their houses at this time of year. It costs them money and they probably can't see them once they got the curtains closed but they make me happy as I drive past
3.my employers for giving us company performance pay in the December pay packet

[miser]

The lovely Evri lady who delivers our parcels with a smile.

The Tesco delivery man that makes my wife's cheeks go pink - he makes her day 

[naomi24]

A lovely hamper filled with beautiful, high quality food arrived this morning - totally unexpected.  A motoring magazine my husband subscribes to apparently hold an annual draw for all its subscribers - and he won.  He wasn't even aware that they hold a draw.  A very nice surprise.

[barry1010]

That's a nice surprise, Naomi

That Tesco man didn't come today but my wife's favourite lady driver did 😃

1) the specialist nurse at the hospital who called me three times yesterday to make sure I was ok, and who made me cry with her kindness👩‍🔬

2) my lovely GP who called me this morning for a good chat and an additional med to help with my problem. And who will call me back in two weeks to make sure things are working, the appointment is already on my app👩‍💼

3) Our pharmacist who is always cheerful and made me laugh, and his assistants who I shared a bag of sweets with and who chorused Happy Christmas as I left🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄🎅

4) OH who currently has his own health concerns but is always there for me, particularly yesterday 😇

3) click and collect just for being there and not having to trawl round the supermarket🛒

4) Co op mince pies, the flat ones,best I've ever tasted 😋

Bless you, Vagus xxx

[Patsy33]

There's some lovely people out there..

[bookbinder]

Well, I can't add to any of these well-deserved bouquets, except to say that a certain checkout girl (erm - she retires next February!) gives us a Christmas card and a hug every December.

[jourdain2]

All the people in our village who have heard that OH is seriously ill in hospital with pneumonia (good news is he 'turned the corner' today, so I'm coming unscrewed at the moment) and who have offered so much help, love and support and still do so for when he is ambulanced home.  Door bell rings all the time, errands are taken off me ----- it's wonderful and tear-making. I'm in no state to play at carol service - no-one cares (I feel bad) and will make do with downloads, but all add 'until you are back playing'. I could, and have, wept.

 

[Cloverjo]

This is all so lovely. 
I don't think we need much, do we? Just a word and a smile. I will try to do more of that.

[choux]

jourdain, I was unaware of your OH's problems, but am really pleased he is on the mend. Take care of yourself, too x

[jourdain2]

Thank you, choux.  He's still on intravenous antibiotics and very confused, but much better.  He has to get rid of the drip before they can start physio to get him mobile again, so may not be home for Christmas - I couldn't cope if he cant walk and manage stairs.  Nain thing is that they say he will come home - best Christmas present ever.😀

[Peter Pedant]

The young person on the bus slouched in the seat, who immediately sat up straight and smiled at me when I needed to sit next to him. 

no the one I sat next to said " I dont want you to sit there, sit somewhere else - over there"

and so I did having just emerged from the cancer hospital Christie. I commented in an even voice " You are sitting next to a notice that says to give up the seat ( he didnt need to) to a disabled passenger"

amd then stared at him with an evil glare

[Peter Pedant]

o god jordy - I hope the fella is OK - you should see a response ( not a resurrecction, wrong season) in  48 hrs 

[Peter Pedant]

1.the lovely postman who bought my Thorntons package yesterday!

yeah my one is good -  helpfull when I didnt get a delivery ( silver) from ( a crime watch expert), yeah that one, who took the view that it was my fault it hadnt arrived. He also tried you are lying ( recorded somewhere as delivered) - a few knocks and it popped out of the P.O woodwork. I dont buy silver over the internet now

[jourdain2]

Thank you, too P.P..   He's been on them since Monday 6.00 p.m.-ish.  

Well done with the lad on the bus!  I once had much the same conversation with a teenage yob who was smoking on the top deck of a bus (I was taking a bunch of 5th formers to an art gallery & we were in mufti). When it came to a sullen 'I can't read' as I pointed out the 'NoSmoking' notice , I replied brightly "Isn't it lucky that I'm a teacher!  Now then the first letter is N which says nn...... etc. I won!

[jourdain2]

^^^ Also PP, hope the hosp. visit was positive.  :)
