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

"Katie numbers" caused me irrational joy when I read it :)

[GSJ57]

The return of Ted and Honaloochie would be cause for irrational joy... or maybe that should be rational joy...

when you surprise yourself by doing something you've never thought of trying before and succeeding....

way hay, bring on Spring!!!!

Seeing the weather forecast on this site today for the Easter weekend. Friday mostly sunny, Saturday mostly cloudy, Sunday - "sprinkles". Will they be chocolate flavoured since it's Easter Sunday do you think? :)

Seeing an elderly couple playing Frisbee in Peckham Rye Park early this morning

Maggie being found

Adorable young lad in Peckham who just fitted my wind screen wiper after I and a random couple in the car park failed to work it out. People are lovely.

My noisy neighbours being away for the whole weekend for the first time in nearly four years. Bliss. I've stayed up late each night just to enjoy it more.

The sign in the window of the florist in the village saying they will ask for proof of age if you're under 21. Intrigues me every time I pass. What can they be selling in there?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Inspector Montalbano's back on Sunday. Unconfined joy.

Make sure you have olives and/or pasta and vino and salami/bresaola etc. to hand - impossible to watch without.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

S? signore, sono cos? corretti!

[maxxi]

There are so many reasons why it shouldn't - but sitting at home after a night out, and watching the Cure at Reading had me smiling like an idiot.

Many years ago my friend Terry and myself ran a pine stripping/repair workshop.

A guy bought in a 1930's small crappy shelf covered in paint,and asked for it to be stripped

Terry charged him about a fiver, though the stuff from that period had a particularly stubborn primer, near impossible to get out of the corners etc.

After the first go the guy asked for it to go back into the tank. After the 3-4th go the guy pointed his bony finger to a tiny bit of paint in the back of the shelf. "not very happy that's still there"

"Really" said Terry. He then picked up the hatchet and proceed to smash the piece into kindling in front of the guy.

Still cheers me up no end, the though of that day.

Reviving this thread in Springtime.

Cycling around King's Lynn yesterday under a wide, clear sky. The smell of the fishing boats. The sunset on the way back.

Sunday afternoon when you know you've got Monday off.

I spat my coffee out laughing at this anecdote earlier this morning. Truly 'irrational' joy.

[Robert Poste's Child]

I know someone who did the same thing to an uncooperative self-assembly cupboard from IKEA. He took it back and said it was like that in the box. They gave him the money back.

[Laddy Muck]

When my Oyster Card has capped. I just love that every journey thereafter is FREEEEEEEEEE!

[Loz]

Oh, yes. LM. I've been known to take buses for one stop post cap... because I can and it's free.
