5 Things That Improved My Sanity This Week

It’s been a good week and this is why – in order of what cheered me up the most:

1. I discovered the bees were alive (phew)
2. The sun has started to make an appearance
3. I got into the allotment, did some digging and planted some seeds
4. I bought an assembled brood box and stand (and saved myself a day)
5. I bought some new work shoes …
   1. for £21 – half the price I though I’d have to pay
   2. from my local corner shop – so I didn’t need to go into town
   3. and they’re synthetic – meaning I don’t need to polish them
   4. and I no longer need to try and hide my old work shoes behind chairs and under the desk as they were not polished for the five years I have been wearing them

So that £21 bargain brought me a lot of pleasure. Is this my equivalent to shopping therapy?
