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

[RosieH]

Yeah wear your pink glove babe, you put it on the wrong way

[katie1997]

Eating ice cream in scoop so ner

OMG the coconut is divine!

Hope the train is delayed, waiting on someone to arrive at ED :))

[SteveT]

For all of the ladies complaining of sensitive teeth the answer to it is that pink, soap-taste-ing, toothpaste, Sensodyne.

Use it for one week and the sensitivity disappears, honest.

Strawberries with black pepper and orange flower water

Front seat top deck

My fierce new ear rings

Banishing chaos (almost)

Any chance of the sorbet recipe RosieH? Sounds fab! D'you need an ice-cream maker?

[ruffers]

In the huge world scale of things it's tiny, but after losing my job at Christmas and lots and lots of applications I start a new one on Monday.

Maybe that's rational joy!

[brum]

Congratulations ruffers! Good luck with your new job. And of course it is entirely joy of the rational nature.

[HonaloochieB]

A window seat on the upper deck of a bus. Especially on the left-hand side.

Except if it's the front seat, then right-hand window applies.

It almost makes up for the c@ntbollockses shouting on their portable phones.

Most nearly.

This is the one I use. You don't need an ice cream maker - just take it out of the freezer every so often and break up the ice crystals - however I've just bought a machine and made it in that for the first time. Soooooooo easy (but doesn't taste any better, so go for it)

Oh well done ruffers! I hope you like it.

Big "good luck" hug to you. x

Waking up early on a day when you're not working and taking a few seconds to realise that you have liberty, then making strong tea in your enamel mug, going back to bed and dipping into that book of Evelyn Waugh's letters that you haven't got round to reading.

Or old copies of Viz, that works too.

[sophiesofa]

Congratulations ruffers :)-D

[absentminded]

A brand new Moleskine notebook.

Long as it don't douse the doobie, then cool.

[sophiesofa]

ironing with hair straighteners - it takes longer, is not as effective but somehow seems better than getting the ironing board out.

rain when I have a brolly

[giggirl]

Sophiesofa that's just barking. But if it makes you happy...... who am I to judge?

[sophiesofa]

:-$ I only do it if I'm just ironing one thing.

[kpc]

The sight of a string of four balloons being carried on their way by the breeze high above ED.

[charliecharlie]

rush rush rushing to catch the last few hours of a work related design exhibition which you felt you HAD TO go to

and suddenly realising... it's way too hot and you could

JUST NOT GO!!!

and go home early and freefloat!!!!! total bliss

[giggirl]

This is bad - looks like there's been no irrational joy in ED since charliecharlie got herself some total bliss nearly a whole month ago.

[brum]

Yes indeed GG. Very worrying. I did experience some irrational joy this very evening, as it happens.

A double rainbow over ED.

Ahhh...

[sophiesofa]

Wow a double rainbow - how wonderful!

I have joy, but it's not really irrational. I resigned yesterday from a job I've been moaning about for 2 years 8 months and 3 days. YAY

Anyone else experience joy recently?

[Moos]

Got me some joy walking into work this morning. Gave me quite a fright.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Despite being dog-tired and not quite with-it in general, I spent a very pleasant Wednesday evening in North London with some good people, watching some bands, spotting some vivid rainbows and thinking ?I love living in London ? and I don?t even mind the 63 home on a cold August night?
