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.

Silver linings Cro....always keep a look out for the good stuff....enjoy your champagne!

Hippo said...

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!

Cro Magnon said...

Unwrapped, planted, uncorked.... in that order.

The barn is starting to look like a proper des res now. Always fun when you can start adding the finishing touches. Stay happy!

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)?

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?

Kath said...

It has to be done :-D

Cro Magnon said...

NEVER!

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

Tom Stephenson said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

Damn; if I'd known I'd have danced a jig.

I will be celebrating the eclipse with champagne.

I love the way that you got the Champagne out !! That tree must have cost a bit Cro ?!! XXXX

Cro Magnon said...

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

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

Oh, not too bad …… we just bought a twisted topiary tree for our daughter that cost £120 and it's about an eighth of the size !! XXXX

Knatolee said...

OOOO now there's a tree you won't see around my neighbourhood! Lovely!

The Broad said...

I so love a happy ending! Cheers!

How nice to have a little bit of the tropics in your yard.

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

We have two others by the pool.

The Weaver of Grass said...

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

Spinners End Farm said...

Any excuse to open a bottle is a good one! ;). Glad something went right. Looks a lovely tree.

Doc said...

Glad things are looking up for you, nice palm.
