Positively letting off Steam!

I have to chuckle my blogette friends - you see last week my feathers were ruffled.  I had a bit of a bad day and then I arrived at a clients house (I am a beauty therapist), she wasn't there, "oh she has just popped out to the shops, she knows you are waiting and wont be long"  her housekeeper said. Grrrrr she was so late in fact,  that there were only two minutes left of the appointment when she arrived. Inside I was hopping mad,actually my time is quite precious too!!!!!!  Sadly I can't afford to make too much of a fuss so I graciously did the treatment, only much shorter.  Well the upshot of this is, that when she paid me I was so uptight I went straight to the Garden Centre and used the money to buy one of these



I know, I know, chocolate would have been good too, but I have wanted one of these for ages, but thought of it as a frivolous purchase, but that day pushed me to it!  Do you know I turned a very negative day into a real positive one because I have SOOOO enjoyed sitting in my conservatory or out in the garden watching the spendid array of birds eagerly feeding - it is so relaxing and theraputic to watch.  


You get the general gist don't you, sadly I am no wildlife photographer - took me loads of attempts even to get this dreadful picture!!!! Fancy that, if you get too close, the birdies fly away - and my zoom is pants!

This last week I have become a real bird spotter armed with my little Which Bird book - it was worth every penny and it proving a real calming influence when all around is chaos!

That's enough twittering from me!

Speak soon xx

  1. Well done! You successfully turned a negative into a positive - and a positive that will last and give you pleasure for ages.

  2. I have one too. Money well spent.
    I practised as a hypnotherapist for years and people would think nothing of just not showing up for an hours appointment, like my time was of no value.
    I'm glad you got yourself a treat and longer lasting than chocolate :-D
    (i'd have had both LOL).

  4. You spent the money perfectly! I feed the birds in my garden every day, and replace their water twice a day (because they drink it, then splash around in it like children in a paddling pool!), and they, in turn, reward me with their antics, putting on all sorts of displays. I also keep my 'Birds of Britain and Europe' book handy and get so excited when I spot a new bird out there! My husband thinks I'm quite mad! Long may you, and your lucky birds, enjoy their new 'adventure playground'!

  5. What a prize the bird feeder is! Good on you for being nice to the birds and for trying to identify them. Your coiled bowl is amazing :)
