Lemon sherbets.

I ordered two pairs of French Connection sunglasses, one as a gift for my girlfriend one a gift for me...

Boots online are beating hands down the French Connection sale. Big money off the French Connection prices... delivery was due next Wednesday but they arrived today...

220 worth of glasses, costing 100....about 55% off... not bad.

On the downside when I got home to open them only one pair arrived which isn’t a biggie but packaged in a cardboard box and glasses loosely wrapped in brown paper as opposed to a protective box, case or even a sleeve of some sort, dust completely and thickly covering the lenses...... think that’s gonna be an e-mail they can fûck off with that craic.

I was cleaning my fridge this morning and when cleaning the trays in the sink this face appeared in the suds. I love the pure horror of it, like the suds were horrified by the fact that I was cleaning a fridge at 7am on a Saturday morning. Has made me smile all day.

My hairdresser called to see if I would like to be one of the first people to get a much coveted appointment

I'm still waiting for my appointment despite giving them a hefty deposit last week. I've a feeling they may have messed up the booking system and are just answering the phone now to people who didn't pay a deposit.

Bringing the dog for an evening stroll and looked into a field and watched a fox having himself a little wander around it

Not a bother on him and didn’t mind me or the dog

Your Face · 02-05-2021 8:16am

I was up all night smoking a pipe, drinking home-brew cider and watching Johnny Carson and old Larry Holmes fights.

branie2 · 02-05-2021 12:33pm

Cadbury Dairy Milk Duo

blade1 · 02-05-2021 3:00pm

Just had to order one of these.
Can't wait to wear it everywhere :pac:

madmaggie · 02-05-2021 11:09pm

Watching a lady blackbird every day out foraging for her family. I garden organically, so she has plenty of insects to feed the brood.

Em ugh pop pfft · 03-05-2021 12:10am

Meeting and having a good chat with friends about **** all and planning (hate the word but) staycations.... so much more appreciated now with covid restrictions.

Also cherry blossoms.

03-05-2021 12:14am

Love cherry blossoms

Not trivial but the bond and love between me and my son. I couldn't be prouder of him.

Em ugh pop pfft · 03-05-2021 12:41am

Listening to music...by myself...

03-05-2021 12:44am

Getting a refund from mandm direct like 12 months later!! ( may be exaggerating length of time for dramatic purposes ).

Such an uplifting post.

Bredabe · 03-05-2021 10:58am

Not a th more a tgiggle,
I was in a vax pop up centre at the weekend, with the number of ppl and the mix of fear and joy in the air, the piped music seemed a little loud.
A doctor type asked the practice manager if she would put some relaxing music on the pa instead, her response was no as they "would make them all want to go to the toilet"

I would love to know what kind of relaxing music she was thinking of.

RMAOK · 03-05-2021 2:47pm

TH that I completed a challenge on my fitbit. 100 days in a row where I got 10,000 steps or more per day. I'm sure plenty of people have done it, and probably more, but I'm not a fit person, so I'm fairly proud of myself.

That's brilliant.

Bredabe · 04-05-2021 4:59pm

Some ladies of a vintage who should know better than to be loud and giggly in my local shop, buying expensive ice creams.
Telling everyone who had normal hearing that today was their 15th day after their last covid shot and they were going wild to celebrate!

Goodigal · 04-05-2021 5:01pm

TH that the Gardai took the quad bike off the guy across the road who had been zooming around on it since last Wed in our housing estate... Let's hope they keep it!

KatW4 · 05-05-2021 10:09pm

The relief of seeing my cat stroll into the house!! He hadn't been seen for 24 hours which he has NEVER done. He can usually only last 4/5 hours before he gets hungry.

So so happy to see him. I shed a few sad and then happy tears. I love him so much.

05-05-2021 11:20pm

Probably the most boring happy ever posted but someone recommended a new mop they bought in Dunnes (the Flash one), I bought it and it has given me one of my happiest experiences this year ☺️, my floors are washed and dried in a few minutes, sparkling and it smells gorgeous. Sad I know lol.

I was thinking of getting that. Thanks!

Sardonicat · 06-05-2021 9:33am

Sitting in a consultant's waiting room yesterday when a visually impaired lady called me a 'beautiful blur'. I think that's one of the loveliest compliments I've ever had.

sporina · 07-05-2021 5:27pm

Was listening to NewsTalk earlier and there was a lady on talking about how she lost all 3 of her wedding rings on a beach in Kerry recently.. she put it on her instagram acc and a guy contacted her who had a metal detector - and low and behold, 8.5 mins into his search - he found them...

Such a feel good story..

Happy Friday y'all x

The weekend.

branie2 · 08-05-2021 1:05pm

I got my first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine this afternoon.

08-05-2021 1:11pm

I'm boarding my first flight in forever shortly. I'm going away for work but I will have a short visit with my home family, and I haven't seen them in nearly two years. My dad was ill during this time, and most of them had Covid over the last year. Everyone is fine, but I didn't always know that would be the case and there have been some very tough days.

I don't know what I'm going to do most of, hugging or crying, but I feel very emotional after doing my best to keep things together for so long. Might even sob all the way there. Don't care if I do.

A day I've wished for so hard is finally here.

Spent the day out walking with my bestie along the water, quality chats, coffee and cake along the way.. loving the simple things in life these days

EmmetSpiceland · 09-05-2021 5:52pm

Getting a really good mandarin.

New Home · 09-05-2021 5:58pm

An unexpected "Thank you" bunch of lovely flowers.

I hear ya.. a bit like when you open a new punnet of grapes and they are really nice.. hmm.. the littlest things

First vaccination today. So far, so good.

Strumms · 10-05-2021 4:15pm

Found out this morning that I’m booked for the vaccine on Wednesday...

Sardonicat · 10-05-2021 5:01pm

Not at all trivial. The ED doctor on duty at the local A&E who attended my 89 year old father who was admitted via ambulance with an ongoing issue overnight. He's had multiple a&e visits with this over the past 12 months. So far, he's been 'patched up' sent home and left to languish in the system til his out patient appointment rolls round. This Doctor went above and beyond; excellent analgesia an x ray (believe it or not, no one bothered to x ray him previously) referred him to a geriatric care team to re-assess him physically and mentally and on top of all this, she stayed behind when her stint on call finished and waited for the surgeon's secretary to arrive into her office and insisted my Dad get an out patient's appointment ASAP, which she got for him and then she phoned me herself with the appointment date and time so we wouldn't be left wondering until the letter arrived. An absolute credit to her profession and with the kind of ethic everyone in the HSE should have.

Write a letter to the hospital manager praising her and send that lady a card

Great news re your dad x

I've already discussed and agreed with Dad we'll be sending her a thank you card but hadn't thought of contacting the hospital manager. I think I'd prefer to write to the ED consultant as that could have greater and more immediate positive impact for her. Thanks for the idea

NewbridgeIR · 10-05-2021 7:24pm

Finally got a haircut - the relief!

11-05-2021 2:31pm

Im sitting outside a doctor's surgery, in the car, waiting on someone getting their second vaccine.

The nurse is outside co ordinating people as they arrive and she's an absolute joy to watch. She knows everyone and I mean everyone! by name and roars a big happy greeting to them when they're still halfway down the street. She even recognized one man who was wearing a big hat pulled down low, an extra large mask and big coat. I heard her say 'I recognized you by your eyes'. It's clear they all really like her and she's standing there now with her carefully organized, socially distanced queues of patients and she's joking with them and absolutely bent double laughing.

Oh and one elderly lady came out and as her son walked towards her she just burst into happy tears. Presumably relieved/delighted to have the vaccine.

Proper organization is a joy to behold and when it has the human touch, its a real gift to everyone. TH, ppl who have and are allowed use their organizational abilities.
