I'm H.A.P.P.Y.



Some days nothing goes right; on others it's the opposite.

On Monday I was in the depths of depression, but yesterday everything came right.

The wretched broken oven was collected and taken away, and (unbelievably) the very same truck delivered the tree that I'd ordered (above). 

All in all, yesterday was a very GOOD day.

We even opened a bottle of Champagne to celebrate the fact.

    I can tell by the bonne humeur you must have unwrapped the tree and found it to be in order before you cracked the champagne!

    A glass of champaign for the palm tree that's great. Hope the tree will feel fine in your region (isn't it too cold in winter)?

      They can take temperatures down to -15C... ours rarely dip beneath -6C.

    Good to recognise the positives.
    I'm impressed with the same truck being used to collect and deliver at the same time. How often does that happen?

    That's appropriate - yesterday was international day of happiness. At least it meant something to you!

      €140. I bought it online, so it was a bit cheaper than some others I've seen.

    Did you put that wrapping on or did the shippers? Have you looked under it?

      That was the shipper's wrapping. It's all unwrapped and planted now.

    Now all you need is the new oven - and that will be chance to open another bottle of champagne.
