Not The Trivial things that make you happy

01-02-2017 5:33pm

Last week, I got involved with a homeless chap. He had been out on the streets for a while but I tracked his family home down, only to find out they'd moved on. I let him stay with me a few days and he really made himself at home by eating nearly everything in the fridge. I got in his favourite food, bought things to amuse him, sorted out his healthcare and took care of his special needs. I told him he could move in permanently the other day and now that he's got what he wants, he's basically ignored me since.

Every morning he wakes me up by sticking his bare butt in my face, I assume as a thank you. Cats, eh?

Happy this morning because I made it to another birthday. 73 today and also the 20th anniversary of my retirement. Double celebrations await.
Away to breakfast with some of the family now.

Happy Birthday, you're only 73 years young yet.

Hope your retirement years have been good to you!

Happiest of birthdays, Srameen, enjoy your day

I am TH when a candle burns all the way to the end leaving no wax. Bang for my buck

Happy Groundhog Day everyone!

I love stupid traditions like getting a groundhog out of hibernation to see if his shadow scares him as a means of weather forecasting. Silly traditions make me TH.

Found myself in Mountjoy Prison today, on business. My meeting lasted less than hour. 12 hours later, I'm still thanking my lucky stars that I got born into the family I did. There was a whole lot of 'There but for the grace of God.....' Going round in my head.

Ah most of those lads were born with needles hanging out of their arseholes.

Happy that even after the storm that roared all night, feeling better than the last few days. I think my body finally realised WE HAVE LANDED and ARE SAFE and need no longer be on full alert.. so I crashed... Slept most of each day.... Old age and M.E. Happiness is a cosy bed and three cats..

Also the first daffodils are opening by the front door and my pension has come in in time for me to pay the rent.. Still sorting Rent Allowance.

All told, a great deal to be happy about..

My new found independence. I can now change a tyre, use a drill, hang curtain poles and pictures. I'm going to keep learning how to do things, learning how to be self sufficient and not rely on anyone else. Also to prove to others there's more to me than hair extensions and lipstick

Graces7 · 03-02-2017 3:53pm

Just been a gentle walk around the "estate"... awesome huge mountains with sheep climbing them so nimbly... Green shoots everywhere and the very real hope of snow tonight... Lovely place...

Perhaps trivial to some but a night out (especially in a club) with my girlfriend and our mutuals makes me quite happy.

kfallon · 03-02-2017 4:56pm

10 minutes to the weekend!

I thought there was a crack in my laptop webcam. Actually there is only a hair on the inside between the lense and the camera.
I can't afford to replace the laptop for the long term.

TH at seeing this post. I was brought up not to be a helpless female. I can do all of the above, plus handy with a chainsaw. I like the girly stuff too, sewing and baking. It's great feeling independent.

I won a book voucher in a local club draw. It's not the prize that matters, it's just nice to win something but a real bonus that I buy so many books.

I realised with more than a little trivial happiness that when you delete a programme from your Sky planner it isn't gone altogether but into a deleted folder and thus retrievable:). Great for all the times I am denying falling asleep on the sofa at night and missing the end of programmes

Baby went asleep at 8 on the nail with no shenanigans or drama

Remember the days when that was like getting the best present ever.

A free slice of cake from a local cafe on their loyalty card.

Gwynplaine · 04-02-2017 2:18am

No drink tonight, so will be fresh in the morning. Get up, bowl of porridge, 8 mile walk, then back for lovely homemade soup and sambos. Sit down and watch the rugby.

FanadMan · 04-02-2017 5:20am

It's late but am still playing with an electronics kit I got in the post today......two and a half months after I ordered it. Not going to put it down in case it's taken off me again

Really love seeing the cheap Chinese packages arriving in the post. It's like having a birthday two or three times a month lol

Surreptitious · 04-02-2017 10:21am

Up early thinking about my new 27 inch monitor I've been waiting a month for. Also thinking an easy three points for Liverpool today maybe? We live in hope.

Love my wife and kid.

But I have to say I'm enjoying having the house to myself today and yesterday.

Started on the Fargo boxset last night, brilliant.

This morning, walked the dog, hit the gym and going cycling with a pal shortly.This afternoon - rugby, Spotify, kindle and burgers.

Doesn't sound like much...like a 2 week holiday for me!

Jesus wept at the Godliness of this dude.

Graces7 · 05-02-2017 7:27am

My critters continue to delight in their new place. Watching my biggest cat, rolling on the grass, then wriggling on his back in sheer joy..

Yesterday with all the rain and snow, the stream that runs through the garden and supplies the house with water, was running strong and fast.

Dog loves to drink from it, but could not understand why it would not let her get a tongue full. She kept trying, then running a few paces alongside it and trying again, until she got to the place where it vanishes under the wall. Ears forward, brow furrowed... ( Of course she got a drink later..)

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 05-02-2017 9:44am

The sun shines on a calm morning of fields dusted white with frost. I'm going for a walk through the bog before mass. Why happy? Why not, on a morning like this?
