Trivial things that make you happy - Part 2 - The Happyning

BadTurtle

Remembering a particularly funny moment in one of the Ricky Gervais podcasts and going to seek it out, then finding loads of other forgotten ones.

Replacing a fire engine siren with a chicken noise is the one I was thinking of here.

A beautiful dawn this morning and the still air.

Managing to fill the coal bucket JUST before the next deluge hit! It was a very near thing though..

Took a walk up the bog and the air is fresh, clean and invigorating. TH to be able to enjoy such simple beautiful scenery, being well enough to do so, and not having a care in the world.

Getting the Santa letter written and posted at last.

This will likely be our last Santa year before the myth is broken so am lapping it up.

I don’t think it’s sunk in how close Christmas is yet, I don’t even feel the Christmas spirit yet

And can cope with all weather; hail rain, snow, gales, and even fog (with a little help from the super Sub).


Seeing the younger grandchildren's growing excitement, and hearing all their Christmas plans, brings back all the magic. 🎅

Graces,

1. He lands on the roof, he doesn't need a helipad!
2. I take it that's your way of saying you're on his Naughty List, and that it's a bad case of sour grapes. I see.

Lazy afternoon on the sofa. Candle lit. Nap had. Still coming round

TH, grandchild had a medical scare today but all checked out and given the all clear. I had been avoiding replying to Mrs S's Whatapps all day, so as not to spoil her trip. I can now honestly rely that all is well here.

Thank God for that, Srameen, it must be such a relief!!

Herself just marched the little ones over to the stairs for the leaba. The not-even-two-year-old was let in the child gate at the bottom of the stairs first. He closed the gate after him, leaving the others on the other side, and told them, in baby words, 'Not by the hair of your chinny chin chin!' and laughed.

He's a hug machine these days. He's just full of hugs and love and love and love. Last night he told me 'I love you, daddy' and then repeated it using my first name. He said this loads of times, and then topped it off with 'I love you so, so much, my daddy!'. Jesus! He hugs everybody and every thing, and emulates his older sister by bringing the bábóga, as he calls them, around the house in their baby pink prams and making sure they have everything - he was trying to give one of them Calpol this morning (or, rather, putting the locked Calpol bottle to her face).

He never stops retelling the big bad wolf story and he does a deep voice for the wolf. It's so much brilliance with the baby words and hand movements to compensate for what the words fail to convey. He's soaking up everything the adults do and say, and the way they say it, quite impressively. Every time I correct his Irish or English, he repeats the correction out loud to help him remember it. I'm genuinely impressed with that. And the wife, as always, just stops and tells me how amazing he is "seriously"!!! The look of constant amazement on her on this topic never fails to entertain me. Last week he ran into me in the bedroom with a white sheet covering him and declared with a roar 'Is mise an púca!' before hitting his little head on the wardrobe in front of him! Glory days, glory days!

It arose mid morning and I was quite sure it would be ok but doctor insisted on hospital; you can't be too careful with infants. But, yes, still a relief when it's all over. Thanks.

Definitely a case of better safe than sorry!

Fuaranach, I think I need to borrow your children.

Looking forward to New Years Eve, going out for a meal and ringing in the New Year at home.

This sounds very trivial, but I happened to be driving behind someone tonight, driving slowly and carefully, boot slightly ajar, because they were bringing home the Christmas tree. Aww.

TH doing a bit of Christmas shopping yesterday, went to Pennys and got a great hoddy top reduced from €10 to €3
