(Today started off as quite a bad day. So I’m enjoying that the second half had lots more smiles in it. So there are more than 3)
My new plants. Especially this little pink one.
Aaaand the bit silver one outside the kitchen window. It makes me smile whenever I go in there.
Dinner with Jana. Where I left feeling happy and not at all like I needed to compare my life to hers. Also the working truffle pigs. 😂

New brunch place. Delicious and cheap Turkish breakfast.
Gardening. Cut the grass, did some weeding, moved a few plants around. I like that the garden is my little area. I feel proud of it.

Put my house plants out with my window plants for a bit of a holiday. Still enjoying having plants on my windowsill.

The Nova Joy plant has flowered! New beautiful joy here we come!
Sitting in the garden, picking weeds with Lauren.
