Seeing the smile on my son's face after taking him out on the back of my bike . He hasn't been out on a bike since he was involved in an accident on his.
To commemorate her birthday , actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattann bsp;'s Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favourite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used:
(Sing It!) - Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting, Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings, Bundles of magazines tied up in string, These are a few of my favourite things. Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses, Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses, Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings, These are a few of my favourite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak, When the knees go bad, I simply remember my favourite things, And then I don't feel so bad. Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions, No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions, Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring, These are a few of my favourite things... Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin', Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin', And we won't mention our short shrunken frames, When we remember our favourite things. When the joints ache, When the hips break, When the eyes grow dim, Then I remember the great life I've had, And then I don't feel so bad. (Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd And reading this made me smile.
I'm still smiling from sat..... But seeing my degu all curled up in his nest box gave me an awwwww-he even opened an eye looked at me then went back to sleep lol
Not so much smile as burst with pride (and then into tears) - my daughter's end of year report. She is above average in everything and produced some outstanding work - well done Katie xx
