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

not very trivial, but getting up myself in the mornings without being called, as someone who isn't a morning person and who struggles to sleep, this is a big achievement for me

I'm not a morning person either so I totally get that.

Watching a repeat of the 05 CL final and the commentator says
" No way can Liverpool afford to go 2 down"
Ha ha ha !
Hindsight is wonderful

Well, ain’t that a coincidence because I just watched her myself and thought how completely engaging she is. She’s clearly very knowledgeable, but also has a nice self deprecating aspect - “I like to dress up”, she said as she appeared in a Gone With The Wind outfit.

Made me smile.

Housemate was having a justified meltdown about something at work, he was rightly obsessed by this as it potentially has a huge knock on affect.

I've been trying to talk him down for over a week now, one call to citizen advice, told him everything he needs to know and all of its variations, alongside the benefit of taking it out with a stranger, Peace restored and at min cost as well!

TH but not trivial, the accessibility, cost and rapid response of the CIC.

Another shout out for Citizens Information
Mainly volunteers with some full time staff abd during lockdown full time staff handling telephone enquiries . They know their stuff

I saw a bride and groom yesterday, strolling along a street, while their photographer took photos. I was walking in the same direction, on the opposite side of the street. It was lovely seeing everyone coming towards me, smile, as they spotted the couple. Everything has seemed so dreary for the past while. It was just so nice.

TH that I’m no longer getting error messages all over the shop on here

I am always happy I grew up and the end of the 1990's and start of the 2000's.
School was fine. You went there and did your work and had a bit of fun and went home. Now it's full of active, green flags, codding, more interactive etc. I'm delighted I'm out of the place.
We had a bit of technology growing up. We had camera phones, basic social media as teenagers and smart phones, etc later on but it was alight. Kids, teenagers now are either obsessed with social media or their parents ban everything until they are about 18.(Which will end up well). Similar with looking at stuff online it's wither one way or the other.

I put up a bird feeder a couple of weeks ago and was disappointed to see the birds weren't going near it. When I got up this morning and opened the curtains two little birds flew away from the feeder. Then I saw three more come along to eat. I'm only delighted they are using it, such a pleasure to see them

RMAOK · 05-08-2020 10:18pm

TH that my dad got some good news from his doctor's appointment today.

I think they do a recon mission for a week or two, before actually feeding. Also, this time of year, their world is bountiful. Wait till the frosts. They’ll be waiting for you to fill the feeder. Beware divebombing birds.

My TH from earlier on today, the first test coffee from my new coffee machine was actually quite nice

Little Miss Fairy · 05-08-2020 11:11pm

Friend called in today and her little ones went bananas with the mushroom bubble machine. A few hours later, I waved them off and, ignoring the mess poured a glass or two of wine. It might be wine goggles but the place is shining.

Me too. I always felt aggrieved by this because my dad sat closer to the tv than anybody else.

Not trivial, but I brought my 15 year old dog to the vet on Tuesday Morning, and was given her death sentence (2 weeks left at most), as her malignant tumour was inoperable. I got a second Opinion Tuesday evening and she was brought straight into surgery. She’s home now sitting beside me, wagging her tail

New Home · 06-08-2020 7:39pm

That makes me sooo happy, Dtp!

Found the perfect one today in Penneys for €17!

Aware that I will likely not get the sld supports I need in uni in sept, I found an online course that covers the basics of some of the predictable parts of the courses . The courses were less than 20e each

I had a look at last terms uni books on the topic and the cost essential reading list came to about 100e to buy, and I cant be sure if these will be the ones referenced this sept as well.

The online course had a book that was downloadable and was one the uni list, today, a pdf arrives for the other two book from that list. My ex accounting heart is th the I have the books I need for less than half the uni price.

I couldn’t get over to the UK for my grandson’s fifth birthday, so I texted Lilian Smith this morning and she read it out as a dedication. I sent the voice memo file over to my daughter, which she played for him. He was amazed that his birthday had been mentioned on “national radio in Ireland”.

Happy Birthday Harry xx

Swimming in the sea. Fell back in love with it last month when I visited family in Mayo. The weather then was pure crap so I didn’t really enjoy it all that much. This morning I got up early and drove to a beach nearby. The water was perfect (apart from the jellyfish!) and I got my swim in before it got busy.

Badly Drunk Boy · 09-08-2020 1:36pm

On Friday, I was walking through the canteen in work when one of the canteen girls stopped me and said "I know we've stopped serving but you didn't have a breakfast, did you?". I said "Nah, but I'm fine," but changed my mind immediately and said "Okay, I'll have a couple of sausages, a couple of hash browns, and some pudding." As I was saying I realised I only had cash rather than card,but she said, "I'm finishing as 3 today after 7 years here. Enjoy your breakfast!". I'm sure she would have given it to me even if I had my card.

So I got a free breakfast. :cool: Less than €2.50 but still. It's not the money. Just the thought.

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 09-08-2020 7:18pm

I was supposed to be doing an extra hour in work today, to finish at half 6 instead of half 5. Turned out the reason they needed me to stay behind wasn't as big a job as expected and I was able to finish at 5.40.

Happy days

One of my favourite tv shows has a new series starting on Sunday

TH that my first day back at work went better than expected.

Bredabe · 11-08-2020 12:02pm

I have hospitablel skin, which means the I have to keep a close eye on any nasties growing on exposed areas. Found a gp who has a qualification in dermatology got an appointment having passed the covid checklist(not easy with perpetual hay fever).

I got the all clear, some of the nastier nastiest gassed, and some covid advice all for the standard gp visit fee(which means health insurance pays for it)

Between waiting on bad news and an uncertain future, this was the kind of lift I needed.

I have the same issue, but found a really good skin clinic and doctor a few years back. I see him every six months and he freezes anything that is “getting notions”. And charges for a GP visit. I feel “looked after”.

There's a heatwave in the UK, 32 degrees in London today and instead of wracking through my very chaotic work to-do list, I've concocted a delicious iced coffee for myself and am sitting in the garden doing the total sum of sweet fack all.

Hashtag priorities.

For anyone interested: shot of nespresso, 50g single cream, splenda and a ****e tonne of ice. Bliss.

Tauriel · 13-08-2020 1:58pm

Those two young women being rescued after 15 hours in the water by fishermen and the two young boys rescued by that brave teenager all within a short space of time is some much needed feel good news for the country. Suck on that 2020!
