    A hot shower, fluffy pyjamas, a roaring fire, and three episodes of Ros na Rún waiting for me on the sky box. Pure contentment

    An accident like that can very quickly put things into perspective .

    It sure does. That is the news you pray will never come to your door, my blood runs cold at the thoughts of it. So glad all was OK Srameen.

    Not so much a TH, I'll admit, more being thankful for something I never think about normally. Air bags!
    Our daughter was in a head on collision this morning. Two cars mangled and written off. She had to be cut out of her car but, miraculously, neither driver sustained any injuries. More than trivially happy of course.

    Oh gosh Sasha Thoughtless Bayou, glad your daughter is okay.

    Just doing the grocery shopping today, ordinary mundane :)

    Passing by a trolley, little fellow sitting in it, looked up and earnestly confided to his dad 'you know dad, I really like skeletons'... :D Aww!

    Burning wood in the stove that I cut up myself. Great sense of satisfaction, and it's free :)

    Happy for the huge bale of knitting yarn gifted by a dear friend that arrived yesterday... The postman had kindly put in in a bin bag against the rain and it only just fitted... So much kindness

    The ad for the Travel Department on television at the moment. I travelled three three times with them, and it was a great experience.
    Now you have me thinking about holidays. We've used them several times - great trips.

    I love our postman, when we're not in he'll put parcels in plastics bags & hang them on the gate & if signature is required he'll oblige to save us a trip to post office

    Woke up without a hangover after being at a birthday bash last night.
    I still popped to the shop for the essentials though; newspaper, breakfast roll, crisps and chocolate.
    I'm not budging for the rest of the day.....
    unless I need more chocolate!

    I think An Post get very unfair criticism, especially on Boards. Our postmen have always been a great bonus for us through the years. Like yourself, the current man will wrap post if there's any chance of the contents getting wet, he'll leave a note in the post box if he leaves a parcel at the back door, or in the recycling bin, if we're not here.

    "I love our postman, when we're not in he'll put parcels in plastics bags & hang them on the gate & if signature is required he'll oblige to save us a trip to post office"

    Ours does the same. And a refinement, as he takes outgoing mail from my mail bag if a white cloth is tied to the gate even if no delivery. A lovely man altogether he is!

    Did that OT test in the local chemist-My metabolic age is younger than my actual age! We won’t mention the BMI

    My grandmother used to tell a story about getting a letter from her daughter in US telling her she was coming to visit. The postman knew the importance of the letter so brought it into the kitchen to hand it over. My gran read the first page & was disappponted there was no date mentioned, 'oh she's coming on the 25th' says the postman....he was reading the 2nd page!

    It's the same with several people around here. Postman doesn't mind at all. Great service, over and above what they are expected to do and done for no personal gain.
