A new pillow
Silent night pocketspring. Until unpacking the new one, I hadn't realised quite how much the old one's springs had weakened.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I was expecting a full day today. 5 guests leaving and 4 arriving. So I need to turn around 4 cabins in double quick time.
I cracked on at 7:30 and had that one and some ancillary work smashed out by 9:30.
First guest arrived at 9:35. (Check in is 16hr). Fortunately campsite reception told him he would have to wait.
I took the dog for a walk and picked up breakfast ingredients and was back at it before 11.
By 14:30, every cabin was ready. I took a shower. Put on my smart clothes and called the guys that had got here at 9:30.
He was checked in by 15hr and everyone else tricked in nicely and much to my surprise, I was finished by 15:55 !!
So I took the dog for another walk and got myself some beers!

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Yet many people are happy to sit on furniture full of them and sleep on beds full of them.
NB we have an Emma memory foam mattress

Springed pillows are antennas for Elon Musk's so called 'starlink' thought control satellites, it's all part of a plan to brainwash you into buying an electric car.
Everyone knows that.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
There have been recorded instances of a mattress spring breaking,then coiling itself up an unsuspecting rectum. That's bad enough,but imagine a pillow spring winding itself into your cranium via the earhole.
I never sleep without my buttplug firmly in place.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I can see a plus side: get up in the morning, but need a kip later? Already there's a pillow pinned conveniently on the side of your head.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Getting up Hopegill Head, love it up there but what really cheered me up was: the final scramble to the top can be a bit tricky, but not for a small black dog (Patterdale ?) following a fell runner down the crack, just above the notch with a mahoosive stick in his chops

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Just booked a table at a very popular local restaurant that only accepts bookings by phone and it’s all in another language, and not slow by any measure. Didn’t even look at the post it note of helpers I made myself. Really proud.

That's a very pretty cat. And the white of its coat is really white.
