Hello, hello, and Seasons' Greetings to you all! If you have been celebrating Christmas, I hope you had a good one. If you haven't been celebrating, I hope you've still found plenty of things to enjoy during this past week. Here are some of my own current Reasons to be Cheerful:
* The days are getting longer and the sun is getting higher in the sky - hooray!
* There are two brave little pink roses trying to bloom in my garden.
* We had a nice Christmas: my children liked their prezzies and we had a lovely meal with friends.
* My youngest son's favourite present was a cuddly polar bear given to him by his big brother, so they have declared an amnesty and are friends at the moment.
* My eldest son gave me Bill Bailey's Tinselwood DVD, and (almost better) since I haven't yet watched it, I am still in a state of excited anticip-p-p-pation about it!
* I have rediscovered sloe gin and ginger wine: perfect winter drinks!
* I haven't listened to the news for several days now, so I haven't been made depressed by what I've heard!
* I have an open fire, and logs and dried rosemary twigs to put on it.
* I am catching up on sleep.
And last but not least, someone called Trevor invented a marvellous phrase to describe the Random Act of Fun I posted about last time, which I would like to nominate as Original Linguistic Invention of the week... it's 'cracker frippery'! Perfectomundo!

Definitely good reasons to be cheerful. Good list :)
