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

Rescued 3 OAPs today. ☺️

Well rescue might be a bit strong.

They parked their car to go for a walk ,went a bit off the beaten track and lost their bearings.

I bundled them into the back of a van and got them back to their car a few miles away.

I could hear them screeching and laughing in the back.

I think it made their day and to be fair it made mine as well. 😂

Traveling down the M4 this morning, wet, windy and horrible. Van in front with a big load strapped on the roof going somewhat slowly, so i pull into the overtaking lane to go pass.

Just as I'm at his back right, the wind caught the roof load and a big eight foot long two foot wide board of hard black plastic flew off the roof and came straight at my windscreen.

Very TH that i managed to swerve just enough and just in time that it missed my car by about an inch. No traffic behind either so it just went flying into the central median.

My dentist called enquiring if I could / would bring my dental appointment forward to tomorrow instead of next week… that actually suits me better and means I’ve nothing in the way of any appointments until the new year…

Two trips to be planned and booked and enjoyed one with a friend one with family and the rest of the year looks good, looks interesting and looks fun…

My iPad is up and running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bredabe, glad you got IPad up and running.

Sent an email to a business requesting info, slightly detailed ….hit send , and about 2 seconds later the battery of my tablet dies but it was sent…. 🤪. Timing good for once.

review of a pub on SM, im going to 25 years. The author slated it. A bitchy piece not smart or eloquent. If its a genuine experience ok. My guess is it’s not, only a hatchet job to get notoriety for their reviews which tend to instead of being constructive or informative try too hard to be ’edgy’, flamingly bad spirited, tabloidy , snarky & attention seeking…

I went to not as a way of criticising but more of an alternate view put a positive slant of my own time spent there..last was just this week..all hell breaks loose, the author and one or two fan boys, losing their cool and being mad with me & others just because our opinion is in contrast to theirs 🤪. Fun yet pathetic how psycho these absolute weirdo tools get because people have a different opinion, about a pub. 😋

Was raining heavily when I got up so I resigned myself to having to drive to work and pay for parking. I normally walk. I then noticed that the forecast for this evening was for dry weather which is doubly annoying as I would have to drive the car home.

When I came out of the house and went to get in the car, I noticed that the rain was now very light, barely a drizzle. I decided to chance it and walk in and within a couple of minutes it had completely stopped. There was a tailback of cars for most of the way in, I passed them on foot with a spring in my step.

Very snazzy but at €25 a-bit pricey for me , especially when I have a sandwich toaster . I must start back my baked potato in the microwave . A couple of minutes, add beans and cheese with a bit of butter. Yum

A client who is leaving our service forever gave me a huge jar of olives, with the pits still in.

The jar easily holds 2 pints.

Its not just the rare appreciation but the though that went into the gift.

Love it. Have shared it and already got a few laughs 👍👍👍

Lunch in our suntrap back garden today, yesterday a swim in Balcarrik beach golden sand and safe, then walked a bit of the cliff path, that fella with the raised deck with all the flags overlooking the beach must have one of the best beachside properties in Ireland.

That’s great @Goodigal I remember rather than just hand my children their tablets I played chess and connect 4 . They loved it . I’ll teach them 45 soon 😷

I'm a townie (euro for a hostel buuud) but went to a big farm show at the weekend and it was brilliant!

All manner of amazing looking sheep and cattle and dogs and goats and ducks and all kinds of things. Isnt nature class, and fair play all the farmers that made such an effort and show all the rare breeds.

I did kneel in woolly scottish cow scutter but thats for the TA thread.

Our cat doesn't need expensive dental treatment e.g. anaesthesia + dental clean. Looks like dry food should do the business. So, see what happens when you accidentally see a different vet. 😁
