The small things in life that bring you joy

Small things in life that bring you joy:

- Sitting on a plane, and the stewardess says “cabin crew boarding complete” and you still have a spare seat next to you.

- Seeing a player you despise getting sent off and still throwing a paddy, see Cristiano Ronaldo for enjoyable highlights.

- Green lights all the way to work, making it feel like you’re part of the Italian Job (rarity travelling into town since their a set every twenty yards).

The football being back on, anticipation of the first game at the stadium and going down to watch it.

Robot boxing at the robot games in China.

It amuses me that they are wearing boxing gloves and head protection!

Robot athletes falling over and running into things at high speed - even Tonda would smile at that.

Remember those slippers when you were a kid that had a sort of solid rubber aero for a sole and a sticker of some sort on the top?

Are you going to be eating your passion fruit?

Unfortunately that variety isn't really edible. The edible variety isn't hardy and needs to be grown indoors in this country.

However the grape vine is fruiting, as is the fig tree. We also have 3 varieties of apple and 2 different cherries, the plums have just been picked,  and there were the raspberries, gooseberries, and blackcurrants we harvested earlier in the year, along with rhubarb.

Learning new interesting facts, ( at least interesting to me ); I have always assumed that Hyenas are distantly related to dogs, where in fact they are more closly genetically related to cats.

That's laughable.

The jump around scene in this week's Ted Lasso. Quality.

Weirdly this could come under the “annoyed” thread too, but when the new FIFA (FC) game comes out.

The refresh and the hype is always good to watch and then a week into playing it you realise how bugged it is.

Still annoys me after all these years of featuring St Mary’s that they’ve got our dugouts the wrong way round. Plus they haven’t bothered to move the away fans for the last two games.
