Simple things that make you smile

Sometimes, the most simple and mundane thing gives us pleasure. We all know the obvious, like finding a £10 in your pocket that you didn't know you had but what about the even more mundane stuff -

- the shopping coming to a round £20
- being the first post on a new page on a thread
- turning the radio on and it playing your favourite song

any more for any more?

Reading the blogs (I also cry sometimes)

When someone rings up with what they imagine to be a really difficult order and I can say, with absolute confidence, "No Problem"!

The finale of Tchiakowsky's Symphony No.4.

Ringing up to place a difficult order and the person at the other end of the phone saying 'no problem', works from the customers point of view too!

simple things that make me smile...

when my boy learns somthing new even if it is how to say doh like homer simpson

seeing people walk into lamposts when the are too busy talking to look where they are going always raises a smile too

Yes, it made me smile too, Grannyclaret. My parents celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary this year and in these days of easy divorce it's really nice to hear of longevity. I'm celebrating my 7th this year - apparently it's brass!

Or when you see teenages that are texting and they trip up, it's even better if their mates laugh at them - sorry that one's a bit mean.

Listening to Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". First it reminds me of my dad, who used to play it on the piano when I was very small, then of my late husband who, like me, was a Gershwin fan - I had this piece played at his funeral. First I cry, then I smile.

Anything by Glenn Miller, for the same reasons as above.

The sound of my granddaughter's laugh.

The voice on the phone that says, "Hello Nan, it's Peter" (my 19 year old grandson).

Our cat, sitting on the lawn in the sunshine with her back leg in the air, having a "bath".

Our dear old dog wagging her tail and sniffing the air, when we walk through the fields, and shedding her 16 years for a while.

Our cat sniffing a flower, sneezing, glaring at the flower and then having another sniff just to check - and yes, sneezing again.
