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??

Tell me how

This might sound like I'm trying to blow my own trumpet. I'm not.

Texted an elderly neighbour each of the last few days asking her if she was Ok and wanted anything or wanted me to call in for a chat. She didn't, she was fine.

Today, the doorbell rang, she was outside with a plate of fresh scones as a thank you. TH that what goes around comes around.

Not trivial at the time at all, but was driving serious back roads in Wexford today in my small engined car to get to a friend's house so I can get into work tomorrow.
I pulled in to let a 4x4 past as I was doing about 2 km an hour, and as he pulled past he rolled down the window and said to stick in behind him and he would warn me if I was going to get stuck. He went out of his way to get me to the main Gorey road, and even cleared tracks in places.
So so thankful!!

Feet up chilling. Work have left it to our discretion as to whether we travel to work tomorrow.

Have water. Relaxing in the bath with a bathbomb after scrubbing my house clean, have a coal fire blazing downstairs and wine in the fridge. New sheets on the bed for tonight. Going to get into my new jammies after my bath and enjoy the last of the snow day.

Free of the house, at last. Actually met people for the first time in 5 days.

Roll on Spring!

Trigger Happy

I am happy to be able to see grass again.
Happy to have two different holidays to look forward to over the coming month.
Happy to have a nice restaurant booked for tonight and happy to have peace and quiet now.

TH we’re off to Westport tomorrow for two nights! The only plan was to climb Croagh Patrick but that seems unlikely now. Looking forward to it, have never been to Westport before.

Surreptitious

I'm just glad I live in an urban area in times like these. I've lived in very rural places before but imagine being stuck for days in the snow with no beer or bread? No thanks.

northgirl

I've power and water. (Balances out my car accident and snow dislodging my SKY dish)

Rogueish

I'm in work and the milk was still good (enough for my coffee) in the work fridge :-)

This cuddly snowman that I built with my mam yesterday.

Poochie05

Had a few snow days, great. But now the snow is thawing and the power came back, even better!

wheresmahbombs

Finally got a new hot water bottle in my nearest hardware shop, as all the others in my house have broken.

I've been using an electric blanket for a while, which does give some nice heat, but for me, nothing beats the instant heat from a hot water bottle. Especially in cold weather like this.

New Home

And I thought you meant the fishing boat... again!

A Galway Hooker is making me very Happy atm

Tell me how

Everyone here will probably know the poster M.T, Cranium.
The knowledge and effort that they put in to their posts to keep people informed on weather for no material gain is astounding.

Today, M.T. occupies 7 of the 25 posts on the most thanked posts page. they have 170,000+ thanks for over 7000 posts :eek:. Averaging 23 thanks a post. Glad to see they get some form of recognition for their skill and effort.

The reason he had to edit one of his latest posts (of nearly 1000 words)? Because of a power outage while posting it.

That sort of commitment makes me TH.

Went out to take the snow off of my car and it was so satisfying! It was so deep but so powdery.

I made a snow angel while I was out and about too.

wheresmahbombs

The snow here in my area has gotten deep.

And I've cleared some of the footpath, particularly the stairs.

Someone over in the weather forum posted a picture of snow cat that they made

I bought a big bag of peanuts last week when I heard the forecast. I put some in the blender, and put them out for the ground feeding birds. Loads of starlings appeared from nowhere, they do not frequent my garden, but today they were there. I put a little table I had in the shed out to cover the peanuts from the snow.

I have loads of cashews and muesli that isn't mine so I might throw a bit out. That is of course if I can see the garden.

I've been feeding the birds sporadically because of the cats. This morning while in the kitchen, the local robin came and perched on the kids' quad that's parked outside the window, and stared at me with its head tilted as if to say : "well, are you coming out with it or what ?".

I did, come out with the food, but I think I was too late as I didn't see him again. Maybe he did come to take his share in between 2 magpies. I go out with a big bowl and put little blobs of food in lots of locations (some near to the ground, some in trees, on pillars...) so that everyone gets a bit, and that the magpies don't take everything from the word go (they tend to take from one area in particular).

It was a lovely moment, the look he gave me. I was all excited he came and asked.

It's not high end for a lot of people but to me it's the business :pac:
