Not exactly 'Ishy'... BUT the main thing I am grateful for this week is that my eldest daughter is at her house, very much alive.
She went off to Monaghan on Thursday morning to see the boyfriend for a couple of days. Was two thirds of the way there, a torrential shower occurred, went round a tight left hand bend, aquaplaned (probably) lost control of the car, headed across the road, towards an 8 foot drop into a field via a few hawthorn trees, the car rolled 2 & 1/2 times, landing on the roof a mere 6 inches away from a very large tree.
Taking all of the 'what ifs' into consideration, (and seeing the place on google maps) she was very lucky to get out through the window in one piece - battered & bruised, cut & grazed, but alive.
It since emerges that 5 people have been killed on that bend this year alone......
And the first question that Leah asked when I broke the news? "Is her hair ok??"
The car is totalled, the farmer guy who turned it over, pulled it out & then cleared the contents for the tow truck even popped the 2 x 20 cents into a bag that she keeps for shopping trollies in the glove box!
So yeah, not an Ishy gratefulness, but gratefulness all the same.
. It may be soggy out there now, things aren't growing so well due to lack of sunshine but the grass is turning green and growing again, my veg patch has a swathe of green weedlings germinating 
and everything living is sighing with relief, including me.
(thanks)
glad your daughter is ok Julie
