A really good hot dog. Nice soft bun, good quality smoked Frank, sauerkraut, hot mustard, bit of ketchup.

Really good.

It's not a good look really.

Clean cars. Especially where I am with the roads being bogging this time of year.

Going to a new city and deliberately getting lost. Went for a weekend in Paris and after visiting some outstanding museums and art galleries just wandered and enjoyed the atmosphere of somewhere new. Had some great pastries on the way too.

My feet are now in agony (my watch says eighteen miles today with two to walk back to my accommodation after a meal) but very much worth it.

A Premier Inn or Travelodge room to yourself.

Away to a gig in Glasgow tonight and don’t know anyone who likes who I’m seeing. Asked my partner and she ****ing hates them. Actually found a cheap sale rate room with Premier Inn for tonight.

Always feel like a small B&B is better for couples trips but there’s something comforting and familiar with the bland, identikit room you get.

When you're actually knackered and you get the chance of a wee nap. Tremendous stuff.

that feeling when you feel sleep about to wash over you. Mmm. Day sleep is far superior to night sleep.

I was to the racing at Musselburgh yesterday. Had a bet of £25 e/w in one race. Horse came a distant 3rd but at odds of 22/1 it was still a nice return.

Bookie counted out my winnings, I wasn't really paying attention so I stuck them in a pocket (I always keep my winnings separate to avoid temptation of going over budget). Got home that night and the winnings pocket didn't tally, it was way up. A wee bit calculating and it turns out he has paid me out for £50 e/w rather than £25.

Had I noticed at the time I would have corrected him as my conscience would have bothered me. But I'm saying it was an error on his part, I didn't notice at the time and if I'd made an error somewhere down the line the bookies would be quick enough not to pay me out so I'll take the win and enjoy it.

They'll get it all back with interest on New Years Day anyway😅😅

Nice one 👍

I met my mate in Sportsman's after the racing on Thursday, the place was bouncing, a really good afternoon/night. 🍺🍺🍺

We ended up in Staggs briefly last night. It was pretty quiet but was picking up just as we left.

Enjoyed the Hearts game more than the Rangers game. ☺️

Employing people who perhaps haven’t had the best start in life and don’t shine above other candidates at the interview stage. Yet you see something that you think you can work with and develop so you give them a chance. They turn out to be absolute stars and up being one of the best you’ve ever employed.

I've recruited people at a couple of workplaces now, and completely agree with this. It can sometimes mean a bit more work at the start, but there are a lot of employers not willing to put that in, and also a lot of people desperate for an opportunity.

We’ve started taking the kids from work (mainly 0-3 year olds) to a care home for visits, singing with the residents etc. it’s honestly one of the best things we’ve ever done 🫶🏻

Speaking as someone whose dad was in a care home until very recently, you've no idea how much joy these visits bring to the residents. The kids love to do their wee performance and auld yins revel in the infectious enthusiasm of youth.

[matty_f]

This is a fairly obvious one, but giving someone genuine feedback for something good they’ve done is a brilliant feeling - a very rewarding experience.

The kids get just as much out of it, it’s their favourite place to go now. They’ve made some really lovely connections with the residents, one of mine sat for ages with one giving them hugs yesterday, they would never do that anywhere else

I remember watching Old People's home for 4 year olds on Channel 4 when they took the kids to a sheltered housing complex, it was a very uplifting watch.

My grandson visited the sheltered housing place here with the nursery last Christmas and it made their day. I used to take my mum to the church hub for lunch and many of the residents popped in too. To hear their delight and stories of the kids visiting was just a joy. One of them (named the lady with the purple coat) still talks to my grandson when we bump into her.

My wife and daughter were down south this weekend visiting my wife’s family. When they came home tonight my daughter burst through the door looking for me and gave me a running hug. There’s no better pick me ups than those little moments.
