And they are, briefly - Duh! Wow! and Oh-h-h!
Duh!
The good thing about resting and reflecting is that it let's you see things you haven't noticed before. LIke the fact that I have a pile of things to sew and mend, and never seem to get round to it. Solution? Shift a wooden chest to the floor, and create a permanent home for the machine at the back of a fold-up work surface. Easy to access, I've done three bits of sewing already. Rab is ecstatic...
Wow!
A gloriously warm day for October, a whole day clearing up the garden builder's yard, and a late afternoon walk before the sun finally disappeared behind the hills ...
Oh-h-h!
And finally, a surprise from my DS ...
And how are you today? Had any Duh! Wow! or Oh-h-h! moments this weekend? Do share, or point us in your direction!
Now that would make anyone's day - what a fantastic and thoughtful note :-)

I love the note on the lamp - that is so lovely. I shall have to pass this story onto my DS when he is next home from uni - as a subtle hint!
Fab autumnal photo, the lighting is just beautiful.

Aw! What a lovely, lovely treasure to find. (And he's right too..)

That is indeed an Oh-h-h moment, how lovely. Rab is looking well I glad he's keeping you company :)

What a lovely and thoughtful thing to do. He must be fairly awesome himself!
Good idea about the sewing machine. I need a permanent home for mine too - it lives downstairs, on the floor, under a table. I never use it... I need to bring it up here, where I work most of the time. Thanks for the reminder! Rab looks well - glad to see he still looks smiley and happy.
Great autumn walk photo. Lovely sunshine.

What a fab thing to have happen! What a great son.....the photo is brilliant. My sewing machine is to hand......still sits there.

Hope you find the time and inspiration to get your machine out soon, Jen!

Ditto Amy's comment - that would indeed bring a huge smile to any Mum's face :)

I'd say that sounds like a pretty perfect day all round! The photo of your outside space is beautiful, and I definitely need to follow your lead on making the sewing machine more accessible (I secretly want a vintage school desk to keep mine on...). And I especially love the note from your son. So very sweet, and you clearly *are* awesome to have brought up someone like that!
