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…

When your cranky, cantankerous cat jumps on your lap, curls up and starts purring. I probably said it before, but it's an uncommon occurrence for him.

Took the dogs for a swim at the river this morning. It was absolutely lashing rain, rain hopping off the river but I was grand and dry standing underneath the trees. And the dogs were having the best time. It would put you in a good mood to see them having so much fun.

When my puppy (well he's almost 3 now) sits guarding me from his big brother. He sits on my foot, wiggles his bum back until his ass is wedged on my ankle bone, sits with his ears up alert and waiting to push the older dog away, or grumble at my oh. He does not like anyone touching me. And you can tell he is raging when they ignore him and do it anyway, he just tries get in between me and them and give me the most attention til the others go away and then he's back sitting on my foot waiting for him to come back

TH at my new quote unquote lifetime guarantee mobile cable complete with nylon flex. If the manufacturer really wanted to stand over their claim they should have hired me as a product tester at the design stage because my aggressive use would soon be able to call bulls*it on that. Let's see if the cable tells a fable but for now I'm TH.

Moving between rooms at home with different channels (radio and TV) and each one having a different classic hit on - Rory Gallagher with Philby in the Kitchen, Neil Young with Old Man in the living room, and Queen with Bohemian Rhapsody in the sitting room. One song finishes, move room, another song and move again. One of those moments that the universe is just in perfect sync with me.

Am such a happy bunny right now

Good tenants. As a (very reluctant) landlord, it is a pleasure to have such tenants as just left this morning. They left the place as immaculately as they were given it a year ago. They wouldn't even let me give them a lift in the rain. You could see they both had happy memories here - young love!

As they walked away my heart sank at the probability that they, like so many others, will probably never be able to buy their own home in Dublin and will be condemned to renting even in retirement (how they could save a deposit when paying Dublin rents is beyond me, and if they ever had to pay Dublin crèche fees on top of it it's just a heartbreaking indictment of what we have created in our society.)

Anyway, good tenants!
