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

Antares35 · 19-05-2020 12:36am

I had a falling out with a friend of 18 years. I was really sad about it and despite reaching out to him twice, never received any replies back from him. This was way back in February.

Checked my phone before bed tonight and there was a message from him.

That made me happy! I wasn't sure if this song was something I actually remembered from my childhood or some sort of imagined or misheard lyric. Also, will be having toast and marmite soon and that makes me happy.

Trivially happy at not giving up!
Started volunteering over a month ago. After the first day, I thought I wouldn't last a week.
I'm hanging on in there and going to aim for another month (fingers crossed!)

Boy dog's first day back at school,
I heard him get off the sofa to bark when his lift came in the door, using his best 'Im gonna rip your head off' bark.
Rapidly turned into his 'Rub my tummy' whimper and off they went.

My stomach bug has departed, after out staying it's welcome. Also, farmer next door is turning grass for silage, the smell of the cut grass is gorgeous.

More than TH to see the return of Honeybear!! Welcome back and I hope you are well.

Also TH at the mood I'm in today, if I could bottle it and sell it I'd be the richest man of all time. I normally detest this day as it's the same date as a traumatic childhood incident that has had long lasting effects on me so I'm usually a complete moody bollix for the few weeks around it but I'm in a fantastic mood today. I even got sent a package by a fellow Boardsie.

HI GUY!! *waves enthusiastically*

That's so nice of that boardsie! God there's some sound people on here. I'd never have believed you could make such connections with internet strangers but I've witnessed some lovely friendships on boards. That's after lifting my mood anyway!

Hoping Grem, Sardi and all the rest of you wherers are in good form today.

Now off to hang out the clothes!

EDIT: Oops this isn't the wherers thread! That keeps happening me!

I can't keep up with threads here, especially with constant glitching. Aw well! Sorry about that

The ETA of my new laptop changed last night from next week to this Friday \o/

Following on from my TA the other day about bake at home bread rolls, I had Fitzgerald's bread rolls yesterday and the smell and taste of freshly baked bread was devine.

New Home · 20-05-2020 12:49pm

Most excellent piece of information, Shelly, will look for those in the shops.

mikemac2 · 21-05-2020 5:57pm

I am sure I annoyed my housemates with the buzzzzzzzzzzzz from my bedroom for ages. Don't care :cool:

I purchased an electric hair clippers with all the blades and attachments from amazon. Though it took me a long time and it sure is an amateur effort I am happy with the result. My gents haircut on myself turned out decent.

In 3 months my hair clippers will pay for itself. And it has a razor attachment too so I will take it when travelling

I do know that most every lad in Ireland was at this 2 months ago! Today was my first attempt so my TH

Deliveries due tomorrow.
Cleaning products and art supplies.
Baking ingredients.

razorblunt · 22-05-2020 10:05am

Far from trivial this but I've just been sent the video of a colleague (and one of the nicest, genuine guys I've ever met) being released from hospital after over a month in ICU with COVID-19.

Big, happy, Friday morning tears.

Tauriel · 22-05-2020 6:05pm

My new laptop arrived today, it's so small, fast and pretty

Badly Drunk Boy · 22-05-2020 7:27pm

The cycle home from work was great, no effort due to the wind. There were also some mad vortices of leaves from the poor auld trees that somehow didn't affect me, although the twigs and little branches weren't quite as good. But still, nature is lovely (in this part of the world).

A trip to the garden centre today . I felt normal for a hour and really enjoyed just pottering about

Widdershins · 23-05-2020 12:03pm

I got in from walking just before weather turned dramatically.

Found earphones in local shop. €10. I was able to cancel the online order for a pair that cost €30.

madmaggie · 23-05-2020 12:35pm

I went to the local hardware shop yesterday. After being away so long it looked like Aladdin's cave to me. Second TH, I have a box of old family photos and letters. I had an email from my cousin in Canada who is compiling the family tree. Busy scanning my stuff and sharing with her. Up to now no-one else was interested.

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts · 23-05-2020 6:34pm

I can’t stop watching this. Pure distilled joy.

I always find that once I've actually written it down I remember what's on it even if I actually forget to bring the list.

Not long back from Tesco and Aldi, walked straight into both, no queues,might start shopping on Saturday evening in future. Also picked up a bottle of Italian red in Aldi and its gorgeous.

KatW4 · 24-05-2020 12:14am

Just spent my evening trying to make my family tree. I got it as far back as 1821 on one side of my family. Now to fill in the rest.

I also spent hours looking through old photos my mam has of my dad, who passed away when I was 11 and of my Granny. Love old photos!

TH that little moments can lead to lasting memories

I never thought I’d be spending a Saturday night organising a Zoom meeting where Granny demonstrated how to bake brown bread to her clutch of grandkiddies. Lots of giggles throughout as she doesn’t do measurements … everything is a fist of this, a pinch of that, etc. God only knows what the bread tasted like but it was a memorable (& messy) night.

Im in awe of older women and the way they just measure by eye.

Im in awe of anyone who can make bread, come to think of it.

Not too sure what's happening yet. I know the weekend in June was postponed to another date in September! It that can't go ahead, I think it'll be online

TH - candles. I just love them!

honeybear · 25-05-2020 8:38am

Walkies this morning brought lots of THs my way. Beautiful birdsong throughout and an unplanned cuppa & chat with my neighbour over his garden gate. He tells me that there is a possibility that the hairdressers could reopen earlier than planned. Rapunzel here is very TH to hear this!

dubstarr · 25-05-2020 8:57am

This thread and others for keeping my spirits up the last few days.I was feeling down.

Tauriel · 25-05-2020 9:59am

I saw a video online from a local hairdresser demonstrating the correct way you should dry your hair. I know I should probably be embarrassed that I clearly didn't know how to correctly dry my hair up until this point but I'm so happy with how my hair turned out after giving it a go last night, that I don't care. I think the GHD may be made redundant, not a frizz in sight.

By blowing along the hair shaft while pulling gently with the brush? Thats how they always dried mine but I found it hard to do.
Woud like to see that!

NewbridgeIR · 25-05-2020 1:36pm

I went for my usual walk this morning (quick 15 minutes around the estate) and about 5 minutes into it, felt a brushing against the bottom of my jeans. It was our cat who then walked beside me for the rest of it. When we got back to the front door of the house, the sun had come out so she started rolling around on her back

Persevere. I used to wind myself in knots doing this, but sit in front of a mirror, section your hair, like they do in the hairdressers, use a round barrel brush. It's awkward doing the back, but practice!
