I just finished off a nice bottle of Coors Light

TH recently heard a young man (about 22) sincerely saying that it's what's inside that counts.

Graces7 · 20-01-2020 8:07am

More than trivially happy, in fact deeply thankful, that we live where the weather is not extreme.

Just had photos from Newfoundland, where some of our loved ones' houses have vanished under a mass of snow... Cannot post links but google Newfoundland snow emergency.

Praying they are safe , from this safe place . Lighting candles.

Watching the videos - I noticed how little snow is on the roofs (or rooves) of the houses. Is that a design thing to prevent snow accumulation or just bad insulation?

Graces7 · 20-01-2020 10:44am

Did not see this on the videos I watched and just checked/ rooves well thickly covered.
Some of them are totally buried. Rooves invisible

May just be gravity? as they build to cope with the weather so insulation is automatic. Not like here!

Or maybe wind effect? That was quite a storm.

For various reasons I cant get my hair cut atm, so its at the almost too long but makes me look like a 'reasonably attractive aging human female'
So Im being a bit precious about it, esp as there is a person I want to look attractive for BUT not look like Im trying to look attractive.

A little confusing I know, but I like the teeny tiny butterflies that go with that.

Bredabe · 20-01-2020 1:31pm

Overhearding that I was having a hard time with something nb in my life(not the above) my friend's little boy who is proudly 5 years old.
who hates girls(smelly and stupid) gave me his colouring book as its reflective of our common star wars interest.

Yesterday I was using it to colour in and I found that he had coloured in the Princess Leia page in gorgeous pastel colours and stayed inside the lines, so I think he has found a 'girl' who isn't 'smelly and stupid'.

The particular th of this is...........he coloured in her kick ass gun a dark stand out brown. Smark kid recognising a powerful woman when he sees one.

Reading people talking about the taste of milk in plastic containers in the TA thread.

I'm TH remembering that I used to hate the taste of milk from those as a kid too. And even though my mam had five kids and a lot going on at the time, much bigger things to worry about, she used to buy me a separate carton for myself. Of course I was completely ungrateful at the time. But looking back, she was the best. TH.

I’ve had worse

My happy is the book I’m reading is so good that I’m trying to drag it out and prolong it, rather than my usual “one more chapter” that turns into five more chapters and me finishing the book overnight

I was in Belfast for the first time over the weekend and loved it:) The biggest TH of the weekend was getting a banana milkshake in McDonald's. It is years since I had a banana milkshake in McDonald's , just not available here for some reason.

Belfast is a great city for a visit.

Harleen Quinzel · 20-01-2020 11:29pm

Sorry, I was caught up in the book

It’s The Fireman by Joe Hill.

I’m really enjoying it so I’m trying to take my time.

(I tried to word that carefully

)

Does the book come with illustrations of said fireman?

Asking for a friend:p

Graces7 · 21-01-2020 11:22am

I asled about this. The first thing they do after a bg snowfall is remove the huge dangerous weight of snow off the rooves; they all have snowblowers,

My contact was shocked at the idea of bad insulation. This is a country that has heavy snow every winter and no one would build without it.

Still no news

Unfortunately, no.
But he’s a mysterious loner with an English accent and a penchant for heroism

madmaggie · 21-01-2020 6:02pm

I fitted an outdoor tap. With a lot of advice from the lads in the hardware shop, but it works. Sure I'm only wonderful! (No one else here will say it, elderly uncle just grunted at it)

honeybear · 21-01-2020 6:24pm

In from a lovely long walk with my neighbour. TH that we got back on track ... we had been inventing ridiculous excuses since Christmas!

Ghosteen · 21-01-2020 9:53pm

Cooking a tasty dinner.

Graces7 · 22-01-2020 2:23am

g.night happy...

Graces7 · 22-01-2020 7:52am

Deeply, deeply relieved and happy that contact has been made with our people in Newfoundland. Shaking with relief here. Tears flowing!

They can all get out , and as there is more heavy snow on the way, they are all queuing at the grocery stores on advice to restock with supplies... the queues are looooooong

God bless the army!

Kitty6277 · 22-01-2020 2:34pm

Asked someone a question I was afraid to know the answer to. Answer came back and it wasn’t at all what I had feared

Trigger Happy · 22-01-2020 2:59pm

Our first daffodils have bloomed this morning which means we win the unofficial first bloom of the year competition with our neighbours. Big TH right there.

Doctor Nick · 22-01-2020 4:38pm

Just finished work and heading home to pack for my first holiday in 2 years. Big TH.

Sephiroth_dude · 22-01-2020 4:56pm

Th happy seeing two cats today and yesterday, a long haired ginger fella (not the usual friendly ginger fella I meet) who always has a cross face on them whenever I call them over, there they were slinking was place to place (like all cats do I guess 🐈🐱 ) and every now and again they'd stop and look around to see if anyone was watching/coming towards them, they jumped on lucky the tabby cats wall and I was trying to call them over and who should only jump on the wall then? herself lucky! gave me a fright as I didn't even her

I was giving her loads of rubs and she rolled over on her back and then bolted because a load secondary school were marching down the road 😤😤.

Then today I was walking past lucky's house again and she was out again and she came running over to me looking for more rubs and then I had to leave and she was looking after me and at one stage I though she was gonna follow me

🐱😃 then on the way back I met long hair ginger fella and they had cross face on them looking at me and I slow blinked at them and they slow blinked back

! Major TH!!!

Graces7 · 23-01-2020 7:32am

Happy at a good night's sleep with a quiet day ahead... Happy at groceries arriving today… Life is happy..

Widdershins · 23-01-2020 12:19pm

When my face is really happy I get fine lines from the outer corners of my eyes and I love them. Not permanent ones just part of the facial expression. They're in a good place lol. They kinda look like extra eyelashes.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 23-01-2020 12:26pm

A day like this. Calm and sunny. Getting lots done outside and being able to have the morning coffee break sitting in the garden.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 23-01-2020 4:17pm

🤑🤑

Did our tax returns last week - love the ease of doing it online in a few minutes - and today they tell me we're due a refund of €2156. That's this year's holiday more or less covered.

If you don't do a return annually I'd highly recommend it.

ArnoldJRimmer · 23-01-2020 9:10pm

I just made some chicken and vegetable soup, and it turned out perfect. Not too runny/thick and just the right level of salt. Very tasty

Panda Killa · 24-01-2020 7:15am

My daughter and godson playing together..she's 12...he's 1 and they have a great little bond...gladdens my old bitter heart it does..

Graces7 · 24-01-2020 7:21am

First full night's sleep in weeks. Feel I could conquer the world! If it were light I would walk to the shore and back...

My tax advisor (Mrs H) just contacted me to say we got our taxback this morning. Not sure of the exact amount but she said it is '15 weeks doles worth'.
So yeah - milky bars are on me.

branie2 · 24-01-2020 1:21pm

I got my new passport in the post today

Going to see David Copperfield at the cinema this evening.

Antares35 · 24-01-2020 1:22pm

That's not trivial, it's wonderful!

My TH is that I'm putting manners on my finances. I bought a little notebook and wrote everything down. It really made me aware of what I'm doing.

Awww, that's just lovely

Majorly TH here, grinning from ear to ear. My eldest and her partner are on the way to pick up the keys to their new house. There have been so many hurdles along the way and have seen them disappointed many times. I couldn't be happier for them

TH that when I read that quickly, I thought you were putting manners on your fiancé!

I'm doing the budgeting thing too, and find it oddly satisfying not spending. Haven't bought a shop lunch since 2019. Had a homemade roll at my desk and then took my little dog for a walk. TH with the simple things

RMAOK · 24-01-2020 5:47pm

TH that I'm finished work for that long weekend. No work until Tuesday, thank God.

Kitty6277 · 24-01-2020 6:42pm

TH that my car is beautiful and shiny again
