Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I went to see my mates band last friday eve.
There I was, stood at the front. There on stage was a guy who I remember when he got his first guitar, when we lived together he would borrow my CDs to play along to. There he was playing and singing songs he wrote himself. It was AWESOME

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Went for a walk this morning and saw my friend and his dog snow clearing the terrace!!
Dogs are hysterical in snow - and they 100% do NOT understand snow clearing
It was such a lovely time - we were both just laughing so much at her. I miss laughing like that with mates Been a really good start to the day!
The dooog did spend a lot of time trying to bite the edge of the snow shovel thing! Or scrabbling at the terrace whilst trying to get at the metal edge of the shovel!!
He threw a couple of snow balls for her and we both laughed a lot cos she just dives in and gets buried in the snow!!

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I admire honesty.
Went to bike shop yesterday and asked for new tyre. They ordered it and said it would be today.
I never ask their prices but they said it would be 165€
Called me today and when I collected it was only 135 as they were charged less than expected and they passed the saving on to me. I'd have been none the wiser.
That's why all our lot use this shop. Genuine, honest folk
I never ask for a price. Just pay what they ask.

I really must learn to use the proper camera and be ready to walk up the road when the sky goes this colour!

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Went to see my urologist following an MRI on my troublesome prostate last week.
It is officially a whopper at 110cc.
The good news is, no sign of cancer.
Virtual beers on me.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Wait 'til I knock one out. It'll be huge load off me prostate.
Too much..?
On a more serious note, he's now happy that he can map the prostate with the MRI, along with the camera exam from a few weeks back, and he's only gonna shave the middle bit (median lobe), hopefully with less collateral damage and lasting side effects when he does the TURP, which is scheduled for Jan.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
The lady who runs this place is amazing
Speaks fluent French and Spanish.
She loves to chat, so I start in Spanish but soon revert to French
She lived in Cadaques as a kid. She lived in one country but got the boat to the school in the other country. Cool
And at meal times she plonks bottles of red on a couple of tables and then fills up other table's glasses as appropriate
No-one cares about the bill as it's so cheap

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Wondering what to have for lunch, when around comes sister-in-law with copious sausage sandwiches, made with proper bread doorsteps, for her boyfriend who is doing some decorating at Chez Gremlin. Way too many for him to eat.
And some homemade rocks cakes.
I think she's trying to impress him with her domestic goddess routine. Worked out well for me.

Well, he didn't just say that! He said "cake and, err" and so after me trying to work out what the err was, he finally said it -
"Everything is better with cake and a blowjob" (we were talking about a friend that did me a favour so I'm going to make him cake!! Not about my boss! )
Bloody hysterical - even more so this morning when I told him to tell my colleague and he was too embarrassed to repeat it in front of her So I told her (cos she has the same sort of sense of humour as me! )
