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

Podding homegrown broad beans this evening (a smug joy in itself) - the insides are so soft, velvety and downy, makes me want to design a pod bed.

[legalbeagle]

New earrings, new handbag, new vintage Tinkerbell t-shirt.

*sigh*

I can't help it. I LIKE shopping.

Quids you're like the man counting the stars from the Little Prince and I loved reading the Little Prince so now I'm feeling some joy.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Gawain on tonight's 'Merlin'. Phwoar!

Those mornings where the opening of a brand new box box of corn flakes coincides with opening a new bottle of milk.

Parellel Parking...

Well it made me chuckle.

['bout now]

Spreading the love. Aboard the P13 bus from Queens rd at 2.40 ish. I've never come across such a warm, friendly and caring driver. Not only did he seem to know EVERY lady to get on (all 60+), he waited for everyone to get to their seat before setting of, stopped 150 yards down the road to pick up tardy passengers, bid goodbye with booming cheerios, an all round good guy.

It's obviously his shift , as at Peckham bus garage a lady gave him a can of Pepsi and a packet of crisps whilst dibbing her Oyster card. Fair warmed my cockles.

The return from ED was altogether different and sadly more normal.

Well dressed old men and women

Babies smiling and laughing

Birds singing

Birds landing outside my bedroom window

Sunshine and clear skies on a cold day

Autumn

Desert landscapes

Fruit and vegetables

Hearing certain languages spoken-especially Japanese and Italian

Making random connections with strangers

Getting off the plane in a new country I've never been to

Friendly cats I pass on the street who enjoy a little tummy tickle and attention from me

[brum]

A zip unzipping.

Day 2 of nursery, after two hours of screaming and stomping that little miss is NOT going NOT going Not going, she then turns to daddy in a rather calm manner "daddy I'm going to nursery today aren't I?" Smiles and hops off to find her coat and gloves... *sighs*

Jonny Gowlett - a man so handsome that only a woman of impeccable artistic endeavour is worthy of him.

The Cult, Beastie Boys, the Roman wall around Chester - all these are things of magnificence. Sir, I salute you.

Stumbling across a second hand record or book store that you didn't know existed.

Patronising know it alls gets right up my nose

Finding out your team's cup game isn't on ESPN after all.

As a congenital Anosmic that's one pleasure I have sadly no knowledge of. Mind you it does come in handy sometimes ;)

The things that give me joy are multifold. Pink floyd on the radio, seeing the "perfect" sunrise/sunset/moon rise/sunbeam/etc AND having my camera with me .. but most importantly.. coming home to Mrs Twirly :)

[womanofdulwich]

Finding the "reading group book" for next month in a charity shop-or better still the libray- especially if you didnt really fancy it anyway..................

[acumenman]

Watching a pushy git of a crappy driver zig-zag the length of a road, only to get stuck at the lights behind a 'bendy' and have all the traffic that he passed now glide past him.

I know it's petty, and I shouldn't gloat, but:)) said he gleefully.

[Ridgley]

You Narnia:)

[Tony Rabbit]

Playing my drums at 3am so that all of Dulwich can hear.

[zeban]

Slightly sad Tony Rabbit no?

I think Mr Twirly's answer was the best
