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…

Girl dog running up 4 flights of stairs at 6.45am to show me how happy and WET she was after her walk this am, dried herself on my quilt and woke me, ran back downstairs to do the shop run. Must be lovely stuff she is sniffing in the local park.

That boots uk have heard public opinion and promised to source more budget friendly emergency contraception.

Little girls

I'm sitting in Costa and there are two next to me waiting for mammy to come back from the queue. The younger is I'd say three and the older one six. You should see them. The six year old has a leopard print tulle skirt, a pink shirt, pale blue cardi and pink suede shoes. Her hair is super blonde just like her mam's. She is dressed just how I imagine my girl would be if I had one.

Wearing a suit. Makes a nice change from my usual tracksuit and hoodie dress sense.

My sister found out she's expecting a boy and my three year old niece just said "Anna you're finally going to be an uncle!"

Bikers heading off somewhere when the sun is shining . They never fail to make me smile anyway and wonder where they are heading to , but the sun makes it seem more adventurous somehow.

Dreamed about fresh tomatoes last night. Just bought some. Wonderful yet trivial.

I'll second that! Bikers are one of my favourite things about driving on a sunny day. There were a few on the Passage East car ferry yesterday evening and I was killed wondering what they were up to for the evening when they got off in Ballyhack

It's not every day any of you can say you woke up at 6:30am to an arm wrestle on the duvet between your 6-month-old son and 2.5-year-old daughter! This evening, in another first, I can!

Himself is super cute, pudgy with huge smiles and gorgeous dimples every time he smiles. Add this natural smiley disposition and his amazing grip to herself and her great roaring laugh, divilment and roguery with the world and you get the idea of this morning. She cracked "jokes" to him, roared laughing and he did his baby smiles and laughs in response. She loved it and he was all excited with the interaction. He then reached his little arms over to grip her arm and so began a hilarious baby wrestling competition where the two of them laughed their little hearts out moving each other's arms.

I'd love to bottle all this creativity and cuteness from them. It gets funnier by the day!
