2020/21 - What's made you happy today?

What's made me happy today? My husband!

After 40 years we rub along together happily most of the time but occasionally fall out (windowsills?). He gets frustrated a bit, especially over tech since his stroke a few years ago because he's not as sharp mentally nor as dextrous as he once was but between us we overcome most things. Why has he made me happy - and dare I say it proud. Two things.

No. 1. Well, I went nextdoor to collect their shopping list as usual and was asked to sort out the rucked up carpet in two places. Did one bit easily under the standard armchair, then looked under the riser/recliner. About 9" of carpet and underlay had got dragged inbetween the frame and mechanism with not a snowball's chance in Hades of pulling it out by hand. Cue P to help. We upended the chair and couldn't get the carpet out and to cut a very long story short, after not really knowing what we were doing undid some really well torqued bolts, hoping we could get it back together after, managed to ease the carpet out. All credit to P, as I couldn't figure which bolts to undo let alone physically loosen them. All sorted, saving the oldies a fortune, if indeed they could have found anyone to do it.

No. 2. I mentioned he was looking at a temperature recorder. Unbeknownst to me he ordered it, having got the message I was stressing about temps in the gh. We set it up (with a bit of a faff) in the gh last night and it's a wonderful thingy. He's over the moon because it works - another bit of kit he bought on the same day was rubbish and a disappointment, so something working was a bonus. I'll start a new thread about the temperature thingy if anyone's interested.

Sorry for the verbal diarrhoea .
