When kids in fast food places take their tray to the bin.

When a baby laughs with that really infectious baby laugh and you smile involuntarily.

Trivially happy that I have this thread to keep my spirits up and a smile on my face. It's a very stressful weekend (my motheeers anniversary) and need cheering up now and again.

Hope you're okay FanadMan. Chin up there.

Tell me how

People who have conversations with their pets as if they were a person. Not fawning over them but just chatting.

I always used to imagine my dog didn't respond purely because he thought it was beneath him.

This morning my dog told me he didn't have his breakfast and I laughed and called him a big fat liar but it turned out he wasn't lying so I gave him his breakfast and made us both toast by way of apology.

Just hearing the happiness in my brother and sister-in-laws voice, never mind knowing I'm going to be an auntie again! They've had a tough time and it's wonderful and much needed good news.

This will sound corny, but I'm happy to be well. This time last year I was waiting on biopsy results and scared s##tless. All was clear, but I appreciate good health, it is not a given.

My bro is finally watching the films he has bought. He has so many and now it looks like he is going to start watching them. Hurrah.:)

Having signed up for the free month-long Amazon Prime trial in order to get free and fast shipping, my disappointment at not being able to view any of the Prime Movies by virtue of being outside the UK/US was quickly abated a few google searches later when I discovered the world of vpn and Hola in particular. For the first time ever I now have my own dedicated documentary channel - something UPC and Sky never offered (they always insisted upon imposing channels I'd never watch as part of their "package").

Hola + Amazon Prime + Chromecast = ad-free, waffle-free, sport-free tv heaven.

Inhaling the smell of freshly picked mangoes and guavas wafting around my house. The place smells like a fruit plantation but I'm reminded that some fruits actually taste and smell the way they should

James Brown music.
Not normally my cup of tea, but when you are in the mood for it- Boom - magic stuff.
Get up now....get on up!

We couldnt find the bank card this morning so OH and I were looking everywhere. While I was looking I found 30 euro in a jacket that I haven't used for a few weeks.

My oh eventually found the card which I had obviously accidentally discarded in the bin. Oops.

OH was acting a bit righteous about my error so I explained that it was a good thing I'd lost the card, or else we wouldn't have found the 30 euro so we are now 30 euro up and we found the bank card which made us happy that we don't have to apply for a new one. I love spreading trivial happiness with my carelessness misplacing of money and bank cards.

Free small can of Orchard Thieves cider in local shop today along with a little test drink and vouchers...not my drink of choice but it's lovely..might need to pop down again for milk or something ...ðŸ˜႒

Hot showers on a cold day or after you have been to the gym.

Avocado's ......although I'd happily swop for the aforementioned guava above

TH my mother-in-law telling me my house is very organised and spotless. Let's hope she doesn't find the magic door where all the junk is stored behind and might fall out on top of her.

TH my housekeeping skills seem to have improved dramatically.

Happy to wake up after a good night out and no sign of a hangover. Yet.

Heh! I once put a load of unwashed plastic bowls, etc in the oven when surprise visitors called. Remembered them only when I turned on the oven and got the stink of melting plastic.

My stepdad bought a simple squeaky chew toy for the dog today and it was utterly hysterical seeing her go bonkers chasing it down the hall and desperately trying to pick it up in her mouth despite the Cone of Shame. It had me in stitches. Hours of fun for just €1.50!

FanadMan

The colour, fun and music of the Olympics closing ceremony is making me TH Especially loved the Mario bits in the Tokyo welcome!

OldNotWIse

Spent the weekend cleaning but TH I now have a clean house! Was so lovely to retire to a nice clean bed in clean PJ's last night with a glass of wine, knowing the house was spotless and all my work clothes for the week were washed and ironed and hanging up ready for action.

When people are nice:D

Giving someone a perfect score on a survey following an online chat to resolve an issue. My OH is scored in work based on customer feedback and people can be really nasty and the pressure on staff to score highly is huge. She'll sometimes get 1 out of 10 even though she has gone out of her way to help and the person is just an ignorant sod. Happy to be able to give full marks and tick "extremely satisfied"!

My local newspaper had an article about someone in the court pages and there was a garda called Pat McGee. I know I'm a bit of a simpleton but I think that's hilarious. Best name ever.
