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??

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:

A complete stranger complemented my eyeliner and asked me for tips.

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

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

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!

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!

Yeah, they're gorgeous. There's a nesting pair at the Dodder near my house. That section of the Dodder valley is earmarked for development with a playground and mountain bike trail going in and if it fcuks with their habitat I will be absolutely livid.

Getting the green man 'just' as you approach the pedestrian crossing

Being in the shop and having the exact amount in your purse

Thinking of a song and it magically coming on the radio

6 week checkup this week, meaning I'll most likely be cleared to start running again. I cannot wait to get back out.

It might be a bit soon to bring junior out to be going for a buggy PB on Saturdays.

TH I got a load of long-fingerred jobs done today.

The car ran out of diesel yesterday morning it literally *chucked* as I approached the petrol station and then freewheeled to the pump!

Walking home I saw a ginger kitty sitting by his gate(not the friendly guy) and I was trying to call him over to me and he was looking at me as if to say "who do you think you are now boi calling me over"

After 6 days, my laptop's here.

It's a Yoga 920. I've been using it, and it's looking good so far.

Spent the evening cleaning, and finishing the laundry. My house smells like clean clothes and nice candles. I had a lovely shower, massaged a lovely rich moisturizer in and am going to bed with a facial oil on my face that’ll nourish my skin overnight and leave it gorgeous for tomorrow. Bought a mattress topper in Aldi today so my bed is extra comfy, fresh sheets and a hot water bottle. I’m warm, clean and safe. Life is good

I’ve been reading more lately than I have in a long time. Just finished a book there that I bought on Saturday. Reading was always a huge part of my identity growing up and it feels good to get back in touch with that again.

er... have you seen the forecast?

Was out at first light with the dog; something I have been looking forward to greatly. Clear, still, an almost unbearably lovely sky.

A fine start to the day.

Small fire lit, birds going crazy and all fed and sleeping..

I was in a taxi today and the taxi driver was telling me about how much he loves Irish folk music. He turned up the music in the car and then started playing the spoons to it

I'd have started looking for the hidden camera

Just picked up a bottle of whisky I was waiting 4 weeks for...so worth it though

He had a small bodhran aswell and he asked me if i wanted to play it. (Not a euphemism!!) He said sometimes he takes it out for drunk fares. He drove me home before and he has a block 1980s Motorolla mobile phone in the car as well

There was a guy like that on Joe Duffy today; I think it was the pipes though?

I got delayed in work today and had to rush to get my car cleaned for my NCT. They were closing but when they found out it was for my NCT, they kept it. They cleaned the outside and hoovered it. They even took the hubcaps off and closed all of my seatbelts. I am so grateful!!!!
