It's contagious, and it's official (aka Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Joy)


Recommended Posts

Running down a hill because it's there

Skipping

Trailing your hand along a metal fence and feeling a bit funny as your fingers bounce off every pole

The crunch of a really crispy leaf under your plimsoll (hard-soled shoes just don't get it)

Hope & Greenwood's lavender truffles

Tracking down a song on spotify you haven't heard since you first french kissed (or hearing it at Lucky 7s)

Orion's Belt

Dicing onions with german steel that you sharpened yourself

The first ros? of summer being a good one

Laughing til a little bit of wee almost comes out

Singing along to Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves in front of the mirror

the smell of roses in my my garden... right now... wafting through the windows

RosieH, I respectfully worship you from afar. You are a queen of your sex.

If I were twenty one and a half years younger you'd be fending off my clumsy advances on a weekly basis.

Together now "And every night all the men would come around...and lay their money down"

Unexpected arrival of DVD box set I forgot I ordered in the post, hurrah!


Predicted four whole days in a row of sunshine.


Infectious joy of friend who is going on holiday on Monday.


Tiny hope still aflame that someday soon I might actually find somewhere permanent to live after only six freaking months of looking.


Silly list threads that make me laugh, because God knows we all need a bit more laughter in our miserable, humdrum, lives.


Work colleague has announced his wife is expecting a baby.


Yesterday was payday.


Today, the world is good.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
