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??

Had a delicious tasty lunch today in local hotel, never go there normally but just took a notion today. And, this morning opened a new carton of orange juice and none of it spilled pouring that first glass. Also, opened a yogurt and the lid was totally yogurt-free when I peeled it back!
Small things!

I got to play glow in the dark 3D mini golf today and I came second. I also got to drink cocktails. What a time to be alive

A lady on the far side of Dublin found my wife's phone and when a younger relative arrived she found an email address on the phone and contacted to say she found it. However, by the time the young one emailed herself had spent €300 on a brand new phone. What a waste but it's so lovely to see such decency from a stranger in a city.

Cleaned my car and found a ring I thought I'd lost, about five euro in coins and a packet of jelly beans :cool:

Finding apple strudel in the freezer and already having the oven on from dinner.

Texting my 7 year old niece

Surreptitious

For some bizarre reason, every single person let me out in grid locked traffic today. I was like 'wha'?

It is dark and raining so even though my car tells me it is 14 degrees, I have put the heating on!

A hot shower and my PJs.

Peanut butter cups.

Looking for conkers with my 4 year old. Finding conkers still in their shell is one of life's simple pleasures

dunno about happy but funny....phone companies promoting their new image/whatever on social media, where the comments are full of complaints about the sh1t service.

That feeling of calm and peacefulness when a migraine finally eases off.

I love little puppy smell

On the train back into Duesseldorf to see Nick Cave this evening and have a look around the city. Just passed a restaurant called Yorma's

As it was wet, windy and miserable up here today, I decided to make a stew for dinner. Massive saucepan left over - enough for at least 3 more meals. And it was beautiful - got myself warmed up from the inside out.

Sigh.

Went for a stroll on my lunch break this afternoon, when I heard a man suddenly shouting "Fiachra, where are you? Come back here at once! Fiachra! Fiachra!", while looking around frantically.
I panicked and was about to start helping him look for his son, when a little Shih Tzu came tearing back towards him.
A shih tzu called Fiachra. Day made

Thank God he didn't bring Fintan. There was CHAOS the last time:

Getting into Dublin (live in UK) for a few days and sinking a few (too many) pints of Guinness in McDaids or hiding upstairs in the Palace with a few whiskies. Glad to be back in Ireland drinking nice stout and not the usual watery ****e that I'm stuck with in England.

Widdershins

A greenfinch perched on a globe thistle seedhead and pecking the seeds out, right outside the window. All the berries and hips and brightly coloured leaves. I bought some clothes I love in a 70% off sale.

I'm going to see Nick Cave in Germany tomorrow night, excitement

Love autumn for one particular reason. Was walking up the road last night crunching my way through loads of leaves

I am delighted with the way you can order books and dvds on-line from the library from any part of the country. Time to catch on all those films I've been meaning to watch.

Try the little known Overdrive facility also. DLR has it but maybe every library member in the 26 counties can use it (you can certainly get books/dvds on your library card from any library in the state). It allows you to download tons of audiobooks, dvds, cds for free. It's a sort of Amazon Audible and Amazon Prime without the monthly charge.

DLR Overdrive audiobooks

Here, for instance, is the current range of dvd documentaries:
