Ten things for which I give thanks this week…
1 – Glad we found the perfect spot for these carved Elephants in a corner of our winding stair – we bought it last year in the market in Dieppe whislt on holiday…
2 – This week’s harvest/scrumped apples and plums plus Blackberry and Apple jam and Apple sauce. – I say scrumped but the apples and plums were eithe wild or hanging over a wall into the public domain…
3 – Grateful that the fern I placed in this lovely Macramé plant holder, is finding sufficient light to thrive. The Macramé was a gift from our son’s crafty girlfriend – Yayyy the 70’s…
4 – Grateful for the cards I have received through the Postcard Poetry Festival – the ones on the left are from my list – List 4 and on the right are the bonus cards from the International list. Everyone wants to send to a person outside the USA so they publish an International List – there is no obligation on recipients to respond to these but most include their address so I gues they are hopeful of a return card and I will not disappoint…
5 – Glad that I finished and sent the last of my official PoPoFest cards – this one to a lady in Dublin, so I decided to paint Ben Bulben in Sligo where we lived for 10 years for which I am also grateful…
6 – After a week without rain and with watering by hand at 100litres a pop, I was glad to see a little drizzle today (manifested on my windscreen) – enough to moisten the leave though I had to do a proper watering testerday…
7 – Can you guess the texture I spotted this week (useful for backgrounds in graphic work)? It’s a towel drying on the washing line…
8 – Glad that my partner has managed to get up and see her best friend locally, followed by a haircut in advance of our holoday njext month
9 – Glad that my working week is over but grateful to still have a job 2.5 days a week…
10 – Glad to have found this list to do each week…
I am new to this – my second week but in these difficult times it seems an excellent thing to have to focus on Ten Things of Thankful each week…

Best wishes to you for the week, Andrew.
Beautiful painting of mountain Ben Bulben. You’ve received an interesting collection of postcards too. May you have a nice week ahead.
Thanks 💜
I really enjoy your list, and hearing about your week. The elephants look just right in the curve of the stairs.
Thanks 💜
If I haven’t already stated, Welcome to the TToT!
As a community we are on the small side, but the variety and diversity of the expressions of lists of things to be grateful for, this is a good place. (Wordage-wise. that is)
btw thanks for the lol on your Grat #3
I mean I saw the macramé plant hanger before I started to read and I was halfway back to my dorm room… the, ‘Yayyy! the ’70s’ pushed me over the edge
…total visual of a girl with a macramé belt (and peasant blouse and…and! denim bell bottoms pants.)
thanks for joining us!
Thank you Clark – and you can thank Misky for bringing me in…
The postcards are so beautiful! Glad you’re joining the TTOT again!
Glad to have found this community, Kristi…
