Your turn! What feelings capture pieces of your day? I’d love to hear…
I missed one.

Oh dear.
Excitement: the feeling of knowing a sister and her husband are coming from afar to spent 5 days with us!

Where’s the ‘like’ button when you need one?! 🙂 This is why I didn’t comment – total lack of wittiness. All I could think of was “bed (n) – all you want after a day spent putting up 30 doz ears of corn”. I used to have mirages too……I kinda forget what they feel like! 🙂
