today my dad came round and put a door that he had made for me on my doorless cupboard in my kitchen. it looks so nice and makes the whole room look so much better! its the little things like this that are important in life. it didn't cost much but it took up quite a bit of his time, making it then hanging it, and its this time that is what means so much. i think i stopped appreciating the little things in life, like taking the time to text someone and ask how they are, making a cake for someone, putting some air in someones tyres for them, things that don't cost anything at all really. the little things today, apart from the door, are.... Murphy just asking for a cuddle and wanting human company..he has followed me around all morning, dogtired, and collapsing on my feet whenever i stood still, just wanting to be with me....so sweet. Buster, being so pleased to see my dad today...he was acting like a puppy running around, he even chased Roxys ball up and down in the living room!! The Robin in the garden who has taken a shine to the bird table which Paddy keeps repleneshing with the leftover christmas nuts, The fact that sainsburys buttersoft which is their version of lurpak but half the price tastes nicer than lurpak and the fact that despite all our woes, my family are all ok. we all might be going through some s**t now, but i'm looking forward to a summers day this year, when we are all sitting in the garden, joking around, eating some BBQ and just chilling out together. You really do have to have the bad to appreciate the good. x
