Not The Trivial things that make you happy

All Hail President Murphy · 2014-02-27 11:25:56

Following on from the trivial things that annoy you, I hope we can start a thread on trivial things that make you happy. I love pushing the button for the lift and the doors open right away. Being able to walk straight down an escalator or up it without people standing in the way. Being bale to sail down the driving lane…

I am hooked on this live cam of April the Giraffe from New York zoo. She is due to give birth this week. But taking her time about it.

Giraffes make me happy, I love them

I got asked on a date by a hot Slovakian pilot today! I was so shocked that I panicked and said "maybe another time" and ran off, but who knows ... His accent is gorgeous!

American Pie 2. It's on ITV now, huge nostalagia throwback.
Great soundtrack and the "lesbian scene" is still brilliant with the cutaways "I'm not hungry"

I got two text messages today that informed me that two out of my three jobs tomorrow have been cancelled. So now instead of a 10am start I won't be starting until 1.30pm!

Because of the early scheduled start tomorrow I cut short my visit to my parents (I usually overnight on Sat nights with the grandkids) so now I am back home.

A Saturday night in my own house on my sofa in my jammies with a glass of wine consumed, all loved ones young and old peacefully asleep AND without an early start and a long drive in the morning is such a treat.

PLUS tonight is hubby's night on baby duty!!

Complete TH luxury. :-D

You seem to be living in the wrong place, with all that wind.
Calm here but raining.

The smell of frying bacon...

I wasn't out last night so I woke up this morning fresh as a daisy at about 7.30. I ðecided to get up and drive to a park and went for a walk in the lashing rain, got absolutely soaked but it was lovely. The park was pretty quiet and just met a few runners and dog walkers. Got home, quick shower and into dry comfy clothes and slippers and coffee. Now I'm waiting for the fry up.

It's nothing exciting but it's a great start to my Sunday.

Up this morning, finally a break from the rain, so out with the dog for a walk, coffee now and an episode of Better call Saul.

Cinema this afternoon with my kid to see Lego Batman. Steak dinner afterwards...

Nice lazy Sunday.

Garlic bread. An uncomplicated, yet delicious snack comprising of simply garlic and herbs, butter and bread. Culinary perfection.

Both living in the wrong place - calm and sunny here in Costa Del Donegal The birds are loving it - making soooo much noise. Who needs a radio when you have that to listen to.

Searching for and finding the last 'what you ma call it' when you thought they were all used up when Mrs. Satts says she's feeling amorous.

Small kindnesses. A friend just bought me a kit Kat. No reason, he just wanted to treat me.

Waking up in my own bed after a hectic but fantastic week of travel and work and snatching time with the family.

There's nothing like your own bed.

An early stroll through a beautiful dry crisp frost. The air is fresh and clean. Lungs full and a smile is inevitable.
