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.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
