    Was blowing bubbles with my nieces in the park today and a bunch of kids started running after them and popping them. It was a cute picture :) - as long as I kept my eyes straight ahead and ignored a handsy couple on a bench :p.

    I have a rotten cold so my husband took the baby out for a few hours today while I had a much needed afternoon nap. Bliss!

    Staff in my local tesco are so nice! I was just there and it was a bit chaotic, one of the self-service tills was down, it closes at ten so most of the staff were doing facing off and stuff, the manager was trying to fix the self service till and one poor young fella was on the till and there was a big queue.

    Some other young fella was asking him loads of questions about their cheapest vodka, then had to pay for the transaction half by card and half cash. I was buying beer at the self-service till so he had to come round and sign that off for me, then some lady was telling him her life story while he was clearly just trying to get the queue down. Then my self-service till ran out of change or something and left me short a tenner, he finished serving who he was serving and when he was on his way out to me an elderly couple collared him to ask if they sell shower caps and seeing as they didn't did he know where they might get some. He couldn't fix my till so I thought I might have to wait til the manager could get to me, which would be grand, but the manager (I've overheard his interactions with staff a few times and he seems lovely, which I'd imagine has a lot to do with how nice the staff are in general) was just like 'oh, that's ok, just give the lady her change from your till, we'll sort it out after'.

    Young fella could not have been more smiley and polite the whole way through, wouldn't have blamed him for being a bit annoyed, especially at me seeing as my transaction was particularly awkward but not a bit of it, I said 'jesus you're having one of those nights!' and he was just laughed it off.

    Woke up from a lie-on this morning after a busy day yesterday and both the cats were snuggled on the bed next to me. Just at the same time, my OH walked into the bedroom with a cup of tea for me. Simple things :)

    I was feeling a bit down earlier and my husband called me in the middle of a cry, heard I was upset and cheered me up then 15 mins later the door goes and it him at the door, he'd come round from work to see that I was okay.

    At my train station in the mornings, there are often a gaggle of old ladies pressing rosary beads and religious leaflets onto passing commuters. Although I'm not religious, it doesn't really bother me - live and let live etc. I just ignore them.

    There were a few elderly people there this morning with leaflets. I expected the usual, but as I got closer, I saw that in fact they were giving out stickers and leaflets promoting a Yes vote in the upcoming marriage equality referendum. :)

    It was strangely nice to see my own stereotypes proven wrong!

    Ah that's BRILLIANT!! :):)

    On the same topic, I've been asking my dad if the voting cards have been sent out yet but I've been a bit nervous about asking him what he's voting himself as I was afraid of the answer. He's generally an open-minded man but he's pretty old school too and well into his 70s and has recently taken up the auld Catholicism as well after the deaths of a few of siblings (he never went to mass when I was a kid and was very anti-church) but got an email last night from him answering my question about the voting with one line:
    looking forward to your flying referendum visit in May.Vote yes and vote often as they say in Derry


    I'm assuming that's his cryptic way of telling me he's voting yes? That made me smile anyway and relieved.

    I don't think we should write off the older generation just yet!

    Somebody I work with being so understanding that I'm having a tough time. Almost cried I was so relieved.
    Offered to take a small job off me which I havn't been able to bring myself round to doing. Made things a lot easier.

    Making sure a friend was okay (which she was ) though found out she was also worried about me. Sorted that out and now we're both happy bunnies! And I have a big smile on my face but that always happens when I chat to her...
