Someone asked for the pictures & they were saved from being junk
My parents are happy for me to visit for my mum's birthday & friend is available the weekend I've suggested visiting him
Looking back over old photos was enjoying, & I've had a digital purge as well as a physical one

Made it to site and enjoyed catching up with team mates
Had a productive chat with the boss 
Glad I created the status file - he likes it, and it's easy to run through where the blockages / priorities are
Been assigned the project I wanted :)
The tyre pressure was still good, glad of that and that I have the inflator
The work gaming group looks to be resuming
The ombre wool is looking really good and i've made good progress on that
Am loving the sofa and the recliner
Thankful we can afford the heating on and having the house cosy
Also love that we have room for the big table

Easy

Thankful for an easy day at work
I'd done a good job with my document last week, quick checks revealed no mistakes
Remembered to update the questions the boss wanted
Got out for a walk at lunch
Enjoyed chatting with my niece
Finally started on the dragon shawl, & it's easier than I expected
One of the new games arrived
The castles tiles fit nicely into one of the plastic trays & that fits nicely into the box

Hobbies

Husband fixed the gate
The traffic wasn't bad & I like being able to jump in the car & drive places, thankful I know how to drive & have a reliable car
We played a game that I used to find a struggle, have got quicker with my turns & actually won for a change
I set the game up & it was nice that husband was the one who said, "let's play this then", & he said we can play again tomorrow
Meeting friends for a walk & a catch-up tomorrow
The final challenge I was waiting for got released
Had a fun day with board games, got a few achievements,
Enjoying the cross stitch too
Have loved being off & having so much free time
