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??

Absolutely lovely birds. I'm lucky to have a pair breed near my house and have had up to six in the garden at one time. A real treat to see.

So you had a veritable "Buzz" *.

*If that's not the right collective noun for buzzards, it should be!

There was a buzzard perched on a branch in front of the house. I only spotted it because I heard the chickens make that long guttural sound they make when they are on yellow alert.

When it saw me, it swooped down and flew away, keeping low on the road.

What a beautiful bird!

Have to move house and instead of hiring a man with a van I said I’ll do this myself

There is a company called GoCar and you can hire from them. I picked the van but they have cars too

Three things were going against me
1 - Last time I drove a car was 3 years ago
2 - never drove a van in my life
3 - it was parked down by fruit and veg market in Dublin so mayhem there

I completed my trip with zero fatalities :eek: and zero scratches

I admit I’m not able to park a van in one of Dublin City councils street spaces. I did two laps of the block until I saw a lovely wide gap and I was in like Flynn. I saw a white van man squeeze into a ridiculous space and was in awe

Some does this on a daily basis, today was first day ever and very proud of myself

My friend was having dinner in a pizza restaurant in Rathmines yesterday and asked for an ingredient to be left off her pizza. The pizza came with it still on so she sent it back and a woman at the next table commented in Italian to the waitress.

The friend is fluent in Italian and read the woman the riot act (in Italian, of course) for calling her "rude and impossible" for sending back an incorrect order. I would have LOVED to have seen yer woman's face

More than TH to have my internet back after a dry weekend; and that the tech on the phone did not laugh at me for having the dish cable in the wrong hole... As I said, if you do not give out info and there are 11 sockets...... :rolleyes:

Even tho I have 6k words of different subjects to submit by easter, I feel so much happier and relaxed now the bugbear of the "PRESENTATION" is behind me.

Lolx2, the head of course who was at my presentation, told me I was a natural public speaker! (after two weeks of stress and endless sleepless nights with anxiety, I beg to differ)

The battery I located for my favorite but very much on its last legs laptop(which I could never afford to buy again) is making it work almost like new again.

I’m sorry for boring you all with my dogs but they make me happy.

Today’s happy is how they trot around after me from room to room like we’re going on a huge exciting adventure. I might be only going to the wheelie bin but all three of us set off. I was doing laundry today and lassoed my bra strap around my large dogs neck and pretended he was a reindeer. Even though they don’t get how mental I am they still act like they’re having the best fun.
At dinner time they sit each side of me looking for some. Bit of chicken for me bit of chicken for little dog bit of chicken for big dog. They were only loving it. They’d eat sh1t on a stick if they thought I was eating it too. All was going well til it was Brussels sprouts time. Both took it and both promptly spat it out. I went to pick it up from one of them as it was on the floor and he picked it up and started chewing then the other dog did the same. My heart was bursting with pride seeing them eat their vegetables.

Watching Dancing with the Stars and thinking there's no way I'd let an OH of mine on it..that's all.

An electric skillet/slow cooker combination thingy that I saw someone use and was dying to try!

Those shows are my guilty pleasure! I love Stricty and the US one but I havent seen the Irish one (yet).

Was on Luas earlier and my son was in dire need of a tissue. I asked him did he have any in his pockets and then I checked my bag. Neither of us had a tissue. A lady sitting across from me kindly offered us a tissue. So nice of her.
TH the kindness of strangers.

There's not many positives to have metastatic cancer but there are some.

1)I used to studiously make sure not to exceed the paracetamol limits stated on the packet. Now I through caution to the wind in that regard. Ditto with oxycodone. And, well, any painkiller you can imagine. Anything that gives me a fuzzy feeling, I'm mainlining it.

2) I used to fill guilty about scarfing hot wings and blue cheese, so calorific are they. Now I joyfully plant my face on to the plate.* I don't know when my appetite will nosedive and my tastebuds will stop working so I need to enjoy these things while I can.

*may not actually literally plant my face

My little cousins came to visit and were here when we got back from cuh and the little 8 month girl was sitting in my mams lap and I was dangling my keys in front of her and she was going mad trying to catch them laughing and giggling
