Not The Trivial things that make you happy

All Hail President Murphy

Following on from the trivial things that annoy you, I hope we can start a thread on trivial things that make you happy.

I love pushing the button for the lift and the doors open right away.

Being able to walk straight down an escalator or up it without people standing in the way.

Being bale to sail down the driving lane and use the passing lane without lane-hoggers or slow drivers.

A good thread on boards.ie

when the bus is there as soon as i arrive at the bus stop or train as soon as I arrive at the platform.

when the parking spot that I usually park in in the local shopping centre is free.

What makes you happy??

You know when you're driving on a motorway and it's lashing rain and you drive under a bridge? That second and a half of silence when the rain can't get your car. That's solitude.

A new BLOO in the toilet

Rogueish

I started a vegetable garden two years ago and it was neglected last year due to pregnancy but this year I'm going to get a bit more done.

Today I bought new container pots - fancy new ones - for my herbs outside the back door. I got one of them planted with rosemary and thyme. Parsley plants have yet to go into another and I found basil and coriander seeds for the other

I got 2 hours this evening outside and got loads done. I got two of the raised beds weeded and dug over, carrots, onions and strawberrys planted. The two older children had a great time 'helping'. I thought that I had pea seeds in the shed to plant but alas looks like I used them up last year. I have aubergine and broccoli (at the eldest child request) seeds yet to plant and some more exotic carrots to plant too.

This is the stuff that makes me excited / TH these days...

Daddy randomly appearing in someone's Tinder pic.

They're nowhere near the place either they must have some connections to the locality or maybe just passing through or something but was funny to see.

Careful with the aubergine ! years ago, I was growing one, and it had only one flower, which looked so beautiful. It was so beautiful that my MIL, who was looking after the kids while I was at work, let my little guy pick it for me as a gift when I came back from work. :eek::(:o:)
It was bittersweet...

I was very TH today at finding my old ipod (a little one just for music). I had put it in the normal drawer, but there was a big book on top of it, and so I'd been looking for it for ages, thinking I'd lost it.
I downloaded the Walking on Cars album and some other random album of piano + strings film sort of music that seems very nice, to celebrate !

Getting an unexpected invitation to our neighbours for a few drinks.

Great night, nice and relaxed with some gentle slaggin, listening to my Mrs laughing and thinking I'm one lucky schmuck.

A related trivial pleasure many years ago was being able to tell my young daughter that I could stop the rain for a second with the flick of my fingers while driving, It always amazed her.

Seeing a Cherry Blossom tree in bloom on a walk with our dog today. Daisys in the back garden and birdsong at the last light of the day. Spring is full of surprises and beautiful gifts.

Made me happy reading this; thank you. In the doldrums here after three days of nonstop rain and wind. Think there is a leak too.... Longing to get out and see the mountains and the daisies.. Only happy thing is the robin who comes and sings as soon as I open the door .....

Mr_Spaceman

Making fresh coffee plus toast and jam on an easy-like-Sunday-morning, while watching a blue tit flutter in the garden.

Back to bed now, zzzzz

Hope you get a window of opportunity soon. The robin might alert you when the skies clear

Your hopes worked.. Managed a few minutes between deluges... picking the fallen daffs which now brighten the cottage.. chatting with the robin, and watching a great low rainbow shimmering.. Not weather to sit out in but it was a grand break.

Almost contradictory after the TH of yesterday. But today's TH is the silence, now all have gone their separate ways. Looking forward to a quiet dinner for two shortly.

Just seen that the broad beans I set inside in trays have started that magical unfolding, the first stage of the miraculous transformation form dry wrinkled seed to burgeoning pod bearing plant.... The shoots kind of elbow their way out..

Struggling with this this morning. so glad of this thread. and the challenge..... Gale is battering the cottage and they say SNOW...

But snug now, and will find something to knit. Plenty of food in the house and am deciding whether to open the tub of Heroes, or attack the nest of Easter Eggs as I need chocolate badly!

Decisions!!!!!

Clean white sheets flying, drying in the icy breeze, against the sheer mountains.... finding a whole bank full of leafing-up honeysuckle by the stream here on the land around me... roof ticking in the sun.. fire glowing rich heat. And a glass full of daffodils opposite my bed.

This time of year. Day off. Up early. Some shopping and into Dublin then to do some shopping and have some me time. All waxed. New nails. Paid a visit to the stila stand and got some of their glitters, I'm delighted with life

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Being on the river all morning. Successful fishing. Buzzards overhead and Hares romping around the fields. Sun shining. And to cap it all it lashes rain when I sit down to a relaxing coffee back home. Perfect!

I met a very attractive man today. He wouldn't be considered cute or handsome in a 'model' sense but ho hum if he didn't make my inner girlie go a wee bit giddy. It made me smile for the evening.
