When was the last time you really laughed?

Every day, I have a great husband and dd! I make them laugh too.

Life got better when I stopped following the news

I'm not someone who frequently roars with laughter or cries with laughter. I'm more of a quiet chuckler. But I'd say I laugh many times a day. I'm lucky that me and my family, friends and colleagues all enjoy a laugh. I can also find humour in quite mundane situations.

I found out Google Maps lets you save places in a list

You can give an emoji to the list

So everywhere you save shows as that emoji on the map

I chose this one for a list for a trip I was obliged to take but didn't really want to take

🙄

For some reason, when I was planning the driving and zooming in and out of the map, the little cluster of eye roll emojis moving around made me lose my mind laughing so hard I couldn't breathe

I showed it to DH who was sat next to me on the sofa and he ROLLED HIS EYES AT ME LIKE THE EMOJI and that set me right off even more

By this point DC came over to find out what on earth mum was laughing about

I showed him

He also started laughing

DH's face was pure disdain

It was honestly the best fun I've had all week

Moments like that are so important in life, you have to fight for them because everyone seems so miserable all the time...

Earlier this evening. Husband was making a juice for lo and pretended to tip the bottle over her. He'd forgotten to put the lid on properly so ended up covering her in juice. She was not amused ... I was !

little kids are THE best for comedy moments

Today when year 1 we’re being taught PSHE and one of the girls insisted that her brother (a year 6) has tentacles not testicles. I had to go and hide round the corner for a good laugh and left the teacher to it! I love small kids, they are so funny!!

You have to let yourself be open to positivity and the good things in life, take joy in the small things. Look around and find something to smile about.
it’s a mindset more than anything.
I started a thread a couple of days ago about a work thing and got absolutely piled on, I ended up telling the colleague I was talking about the thread and GENUINELY we laughed about it and the madness of people and the WEIRD fecking conclusions they come up with about people based on nowt.

I love that guy!

All the time with my teenage daughter, crackles, guffaws and belly aches. Usually at my expense. It's just the two of us. I know how lucky I am.

I laugh many times a day - my husband, kids, work colleagues and friends are all funny and we make each other laugh a lot.

I laugh almost every day these days as my 3 year old is hilarious! It's lovely to be laughing so much. Think the last time I laughed so easily was when I was on the school bus with a friend, we used to crack eachother up to the point we were silent laughing and crying. Over 20 years ago now!

Last night.

I sometimes go to bed before DH and often fall asleep either reading my iPad or my Kindle so he has to take my glasses off me and put my device away. Last night I heard him coming up the stairs so turned my iPad off, shut mu eyes and lay really still, in the dark. He came in and said “oh, Fairy you’ve gone to sleep again” as he crept round the bed. Just as he was about to take my glasses off, I went “boo”. He squealed and jumped out of his skin while I laughed my head off. He laughed too.

I was laughing at some house of the dragon memes earlier. Giggled myself to tears over one where Daemond skydives onto Aemond. I'm easily entertained.

Tonight with my kids at dinner 🥰 they crack me up!

Earlier today about a child at work's fake hat...

I titter at things multiple times a day. A real lose control belly laugh, usually when with good friends after a few drinks TBH. I known people here love to scorn drunken laugher, but I refuse to accept laughing is a bad thing.

😅😅😅😅 yay for ‘orange fest’ 😂😂😂 nothing says dance dance dance that some lovely sectarian pipe band music 😅

On ticktock l watched an American tourist to lreland bop around happily to a marching band thinking it was so cute. She didn't realise it was an Orange order parade celebrating July 12th with their drums etc which is a complete no no for most lrish and really raises our hackles in a serious way. It was so funny seeing her joyful little face completely oblivious while knowing what the comments were going to be. I was crying from laughing!!

This afternoon. At the cinema with a friend.

What has made me laugh out loud recently is seeing these clips pop up on facebook reels, they are probably also on tik tok and YouTube of this guy in orange shorts in Central Park NY with some kind of fart machine and the camera picks up peoples reactions as he lets rip when he walks past them. Sad as that is as I’m mid 40s and finding this hilarious. My kids are like 🙄

This morning. I awoke to some really good news. My husband randomly took a day off work to take me to the beach for a spontaneous ‘date day’

Another older couple were in the sea together having a lovely time, and on seeing an unexpected big wave come the guy put his hand up to it but in like a ‘hold on a sec’ gesture while he carried on his conversation and it crashed over his head. His wife and I both burst into hysterics, and kept catching each other’s eye and laughing. It’s a bit unusual these days but I had a really good day :)

I also laughed at this - sort off- had my team at a tournament and while talking to them turned my head and walked right into a goalpost.
Bounced off it in a comedy manner, and because it was those Forza goals that you put together there was a lovely BOING sound that ran out.
Yea, it stung but watching the kids fall about laughing was almost worth it. I did laugh. Felt like a right plank.

Man Down on All4 with Greg Davies.

Despite how many times I've seen them, I still burst out laughing at some of the episodes, especially those with Rik Mayall as his dad.

Might watch another one tonight.

I have to admit I watch the funny dog type videos on social
media and they absolutely crack me up! Cute baby ones too… the world is so full of joy, just have to look in the right place.

Yesterday actually, before that I’m not sure when. Went to the theatre and the play was the Nutty Professor based on the Jerry Lewis movie. When they introduced ‘Miss Lemon’ I just burst out laughing, for some reason that name always makes me howl with laughter!
