Trivial things that make you happy - Part 3 - The Happyning

found by accident a widget on my tablet that enables me to see the battery life of any device paired with it. Handy, never knew that it existed. Especially convenient for my bluetooth speaker which doesn’t have a digital display.. you need to go to it and press a button at the back to obtain a call out of the % remaining…

Also… late goals, 😎

Found my clip on shades which I thought I'd lost (was just in the other car for 3 months🫠)

Sign of life.

Look closely.

Google Gemini -.fast becoming my favourite search tool. It’s federated search style in the algorithm is top notch.

I often wondered can my musical tastes be narrowed down and summarised. Why I dislike one band or even song v another. I listed the bands I found bland, boring, annoying.

I got a detailed discussion of chord progression etc. I like certain styles and approaches. Thought my tastes were scattered. But are apparently are rigid and there are definite patterns, beyond the chord progressions.

After some back and forth it figured out - I like Storytelling non theatrical voices. Grit real vibe. Then the AI listed songs I “might like” one after another. It was great song, love that one. Bit amazed by how accurate it got. I kept the summary as a guide so now it will find “new” bands if the humour took me. 

I passed the test first time of asking a few weeks back in January. It was the first proper “exam” I’ve done in many years, huge sense of achievement in getting it.

Provisional license for the artic arrived recently, hoping to do that test during the summer.

delivery arrived, better late then never AND somehow I managed to be awake to sign for it after not much sleep…about 3.5 hours last night. 😵‍💫

Gym was so quiet this morning … my idea of heaven

Clocks forward in a few weeks. We have it beat.

Convinced someone was breaking in last night, awoken by a loud violent crash after 5am….Up grabbed the pitching wedge, no signs of further movement, sound or light anywhere in the place, turned the light on in another room …. Lying on the floor is the cordless vacuum cleaner… id used it about 12 hours earlier and put it standing in the corner of the room as always, against an old bookcase….A complete mystery how it stays there for 12 hours but then at that hour ends up falling over….. that’s probably a TA in itself but the fact it wasn’t a burglar and I managed to get back to sleep fairly promptly….total TH.

The winter Olympics, I absolutely love it, some incredible sports in it that sadly don't really exists in Ireland but it's a great spectacle to watch.

I think Biathlon must be one of the coolest sports in the world, just looks so great on TV them skiing in and out of the forest and then taking shots in the shooting range.

If I ever became a billionaire I think I'd build a load of biathlon courses and sliding tracks, ice rinks so people could have an opportunity to try these sports in Ireland (accepting I'd have to come up with a way to create some snow aswell for the outdoor sports)

The sunnyshine.

Hints of yellow in my little garden this morning … the daffodils are acoming!

I was on ta lastish week giving out about the cost of having my work trousers turned up(my dyspraxia makes measuring correctly and pinning a task as impossible as being 4 again.

While I was there I asked them if they could do anything with the string tie of my well loved rain jacket, they did a great job reusing the material they had already, had a look yes and I can see how they did it!

so this am was dedicated to fixing all my string hoods copying their technique. €€€€'s saved and jackets saved from the yellow bin!

So th about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just changed my bedlinen … feels like I’m up in the clouds
