Little things that give you pleasure

[Oscar T Grouch]

Just walking in the sunshine with great tunes in your headphones makes me so happy.

Also a cola Calippo on a hot day

[Keith_M]

Going to the cafe and the wife actually pays.


Such a little thing but also such a rare occurrence that it pleases me immensely when it happens.

The fact that most British Weather Girls are of a more mature semester compared to their American/European counterparts.

We stayed away with friends for a night last night, with all of our kids in to the bargain.

It was a ****ing nightmare and took 2.5 hours to get a four and two year old to sleep, meaning we pushed dinner back to about 9:30 and the night was just not as good.

We left late morning, got home and we’ve had such a nice, chilled afternoon. Just when they push you to the edge they’re charming and funny and get you under their spell again.

Laura from ITV, she’s excellent.

And it helps she’s easy on the eye.

Went out a walk yesterday evening to collect the car as had been at friends drinking the night before and walked past an elderly gentleman, probably late 70s carrying a small suitcase which I found somewhat intriguing

Anyway collected the car and nipped to shop for some hangover irn bru. Lo and behold, the old geezer was packing his weekly shop in to the suitcase, and off he went wheeling it away

Innovation at that age. Really put a smile on my face

Routines. After having worked 40+ in jobs with little or no routine and now in a job that is essentially Monday to Friday I've become obsessed with routine. Getting the same train every morning, knowing what carriage to get on so I can exit the train door at exactly the right place where the escalator starts, sit on the left side to avoid direct sunlight on the way to work and on the right on the way back. Bliss

Dunno why, but this is giving me Omeonga vibes 🤔

Some people take it to the extreme, I once got on a train, I was the only person in the carriage, I sat back and was listening to music until I got a tap on a shoulder from a couple, they said you are sat in our seat, I goes sorry I didn't know it was ticketed, she says it isn't but we always sit in the same seat, I looked about and we were still the only folk on the train, I just started laughing and said not today you don't, bit of a dickish move by me but it was about half 6 in the morning and I couldn't be arsed moving

I was going to sit in the same seat the next day just to annoy them even more but it seems like they got up extra early so they could claim "their" seat

I'm always making lists at work.

I'll make a to do list every day, leave spaces so I can add priority stuff nearer the top and then move on what's not completed to the next day. I like the satisfaction of scoring stuff off and seeing the progression.

My job is quite reactive so it's easy to forget things if you aren't organised and set in how you work through it.

I travelled to Liverpool every Friday night from Waverley for about a year when my Dad was ill. I booked the same train, carriage and seat for every outward journey to Wigan where I changed trains. The return journey was the same. I just loved the routine of same place every week. Even the Virgin train managers got to know me and commented on the fact that I was always in the same seat.

Today I was in a shop in Glasgow and an American tourist was near me and mentioned something about her “fanny pack”. I of course laughed, because I’m a fully grown man. She then laughed and joked about how she keeps forgetting it’s not called that here and a fanny is not the same as what a fanny is in the states etc etc. I then managed to convince this American lady that in Glasgow they don’t call them bum bags, but “fud pouches”. Very proud of this. I hope hers malfunctions in some way and she has to ask a Glaswegian shop assistant if they have any fud pouches.

When I was about 11 we were in Florida, it was 1990 so pretty much the height of the bum bag craze, we were in a shopping mall and my dad caught me and my brother pissing ourselves laughing at something, it was a poster in the window of a shop for a fanny pack, fast forward a couple of minutes to my dad having to explain that's what they call an erky in the states

Up there with finding out what a douchebag actually is 🤣.

A head massage (no laughing at the back) or scratch from my wife. Instantly chills me out and I can fall asleep easily during it.

I’ve been for professional head massages and they just aren’t the same with a random.

I tend to end up fighting sleep at the barber's. On the plus side, if I'm having trouble sleeping, I just imagine I'm in the barber's chair and I'm off like a baby.

Negotiated my first trade deal for my business today with a fairly big local brand in the industry. Not life changing money, not even close. But very proud of it tbh, for them to ask us to endorse their products is quite a big compliment for us, well chuffed. Would’ve done it for free just to have our business associated with them.

Thanks very much, it’s been a lot of work and sacrifice to get to this point but starting to pay off I think. We’re doing well at the minute and it’s at the point where demand is outgrowing supply so some big decisions to be made going forward.

My kids are back in Switzerland as of yesterday after a week with the grandparents near Oban.

If there's a better feeling than having your child come pelting through the airport exit doors shouting "daddy" and then giving you a massive hug, I've yet to experience it.

Then, as it was like a furnace here yesterday, my wee girl would not settle whatsoever so I found myself out with her in the pram from 3-4:15 am whilst also carrying a half eaten pot of Greek yoghurt. Absurdity of parenting I guess.

This morning, 1 smile and that's all forgotten in an instant!

It’s good, my niece loves it and I’m actually alright with watching it with her.

Not better than the wombles though.
