    The simplicity and tastiness of grated red and white cheese with fresh ham on fresh white bread with butter and mayo. This isn't any gourmet sh!t but now and again the right sambo with a cup of tea can just hit the spot perfectly. :)

    Not trivial but very happy!

    An unexpected parcel arrived... Who? What? Big it was...
    Totally overawed and tears of delight.

    Someone I used to trade at markets and craft fairs with has kept in touch . She and her husband earn their living making soap etc and she grows all the plant extracts etc for the handmade soaps. "soapdreams" online. English like me...
    A lovely photo of their garden..magnificent

    A great box crammed with plants and seeds from their garden and soap offcuts. Just … perfecfion..

    I did a couple of hours work out there, and feeling better about my small garden.

    They have not been able to trade all year of course - but never a word of complaint, and they sell by mail order now.

    One of the plants was a kind of catnip and Bella leaped on it! lol....

    What an unexpected joy!

    Called to my eldest brother and took a great trip down memory lane.
    He hoards everything he's ever had since being a child so has 7 sheds of stuff fairly well organized.
    I remember sneaking reads of these annuals when he'd be gone out.

    God, that Tiger 1974 annual has brought on a savage flashback. I bought it in a Sale of Work back in 1981; left it at my cousin’s house that summer and never got it back.

    They are worth sweet fa.
    If you want one they are on eBay for around 20 delivered.
    Had a look earlier out of curiosity.

    The postage from the UK kills the price. I am tempted to pick one up to see if it still holds up.

    You should see the amount of stuff my brother has.
    1000s and 1000s of Lp's, books,cd's,tapes.
    Even 100s of concert programs that he attended.
    From early 70's like Rory Gallagher to the present.
    These history of rock magazines that came with several folders

    He also collected a lot of shîte.
    He doesn't care, he'll buy everything and anything.

    I wonder besides him and Sabrina, does anyone else in the world have her album :pac:

    Went for a late evening walk with my sons and forgot about school bedtimes etc and embraced birdsong and bird spotting. Such a fab few hours instead of watching tv!

    I'm the same - buying records and CDs since 1981 & 1986 respectively.

    I don't have the Sabrina album but do own the Boys (Summertime Love) 7".

    My fiancée's King Charles Spaniel, who is basically both our dog now (she's had him since 2007, I've known him since 2012) used to despise me for years. But he's gotten more fond of me the past 2 years.

    It became official this week that he definitely likes me now because lately while I've been getting ready to leave for work he's been staring at me wide-eared as I've went towards the front door, and now when I get home he wags his tail like mad. When I sit down he comes over to me and nudges into my arm. I picked him up and laid him on my chest and he pushed his head into my shoulder to get comfortable. He never did this before.

    When he wants his dinner in the evening he looks to me to give it to him, not his original owner. When he comes inside from doing his business he follows me around the kitchen until I give him a biscuit (when he was a puppy, he got a treat for going toilet outside and it just kind of stuck. He expects it now). When I get a takeaway (specifically a takeaway for some reason) he sits and paws at MY leg for any uneaten food.

    He used to growl at me a lot. Even when I was so much as in eyeshot of him he'd growl. He hasn't growled at me in - I wanna say a year. He lets me pick him up to bring him downstairs for the toilet. He lets me put drops in his eyes. He lets me put food in his bowl even when he's already head deep into it.

    He lets me wash him and dry him.

    He's not 100% obedient with everything I ask him to do but I put that down to age. He'll always go to his mammy first, but I'm just so happy he has accepted me as well.

    The smile on my face writing this post :D

    If I watch YouTube on my iPad, I get ads for Mumsy things like laundry detergent or sanitary pads for mild incontinence. Since I’m a bloke who has never squeezed out an ankle-biter, not even vicariously, that tells me that Google's algorithms have totally failed to get a handle on me for ad targeting purposes. They really have no idea who I am, or what I might buy. :p

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    A lady in a small car was stopped in traffic in the yellow box junction. A Jeep pulled alongside her looking to turn across but of course she is blocking it

    The car in front of her drove forward a little to make some space. The car behind reversed back to make some space.

    She was oblivious playing with her radio and looking all around instead of moving.

    99% you get anger and horns blowing at bad driving. The Jeep driver laughed and laughed and it was contagious :D

    This is a TH as everyone around was laughing and smiling. The Jeep driver and passenger, the cars around and us at the bus stop all observing the terrible driving

    Eventually traffic moved on and she drove away oblivious that she did anything wrong. I like this Jeep driver, living a cool stress free life :cool:
