John Wicks Chapter 3 - Parabellum was very good.

What are the little acts of kindness which lift your spirits?

Each morning, the receptionist at my workplace gives me a wink when I come in the door, and I give her a wink back. I think it began because I often forget my swipe card, so she'd immediately buzz me in when I arrive. Now it's habit, and it really cheers me up first thing on a Monday morning.

When he was alive, my Dad used to lightly touch my Mum on the head when he'd walk past and she was sitting down; and if she was busying herself around the kitchen, she'd pet him on the shoulder or something instead of just brushing past. I never used to notice it until I was an adult, and realised it was a sweet, almost imperceptible acknowledgement of "There you are now; I care about you". I'm sure that kind of attitude was elemental to their successful relationship.

So what are the tiny acts of affection, kindness or empathy (even between strangers) that cheer you up or improve your day?

And also, in case you forget, you could really brighten someone's day by giving little signs of affection (smile), or random acts of kindness towards strangers. It takes little effort, but you'd never know how uplifting it might be.

I had been thinking of signs of affection and care towards each other, but yeah, it probably belongs there.

I was in Gort this afternoon. I had a nice time there

Cooking. Taking a break from studying to make a Thai green curry for the first time ever.

I also had steak cooked medium last night for the first time. My ex was right, it is so much nicer than well done.

So, in summary, food makes me happy.

Nice people. Boardsies included. Also just booked a wine tasting tour for July in France. So I’ll be getting my practice on between now and then :pac:

A trip to Germany for some more bratwurst and German beer is in order for you !

I recommend Cologne, amazing city. Cheap Ryanair route from Ireland too

Three things make me TH. My bed, QI and Terry's chocolate oranges.

Am in the first, watching the second while eating the third right now. Happy out!

Had to work extra long.hours last week, so left work early today.

Enough time to mow the lawn, bring the dog for a nice long walk, go for a.bike ride...all in the sunshine!

Now waiting for a takeaway, nice glass of red, and the final episode of Game of Thrones !

Felt a bit out of sorts when I got home from work. Decided to ring my mam for a chat and it cheered me right up

retro:electro

I had a canvassar call to the door a while ago. Not much chat out of him just the usual exchange of pleasantries. Off he went next door and so on so forth and next thing his elderly mam arrives at the door with her car parked outside. All she said to me was “that was my son there. Don’t vote for him he’s only a feckin ejit”

I suppose it's about myself. I dont get worked up about little things compared to other people or if it's something more serious I try and not add fuel to the fire.
