Small things that make you smile.

I've had a pretty rubbish afternoon as I've had a headache since about 1 that I cannot seem to shift. Therefore DH volunteered to take small human upstairs to do his bedtime routine whilst I slobbed on the sofa.

I put the baby monitor on and have just sat here smiling to myself as DH tries to convince the non compliant 8 month old to go to sleep with an elaborate 15 minute long tale of how his stuffed toy rabbit will be tired and not want to play tomorrow if he doesn't get to sleep, so small child needs to be quiet and close his eyes.

It's properly cheered me up and got me wondering what small things have made you smile today.

Ps small child is still not asleep no matter how much Daddy protests that bunny will be tired. Grin

I found a chocolate bar I didn't realise I had, and I eating it made me smile. It's the simple things in life Grin

A Saturday morning with all of the housework done windows open and the fresh feel whilst we have a cup of tea and a sausage sandwich.

This is awful and not very nice. I fancied a handbag on eBay. I came in with a strong bid and someone pipped me, so I bid again and they counter- bid.. so on and so forth; by now I did not want the bloody bag but out of badness I kept bidding pushing the price up. This was over a few hours, and when they finally won it ( I hope it's not nice) I SMILED

Listening to a eloquent conversation between 2 men that consisted of fuck you and fuck off back and forth.
The other day I was standing talking to friend and a young lady walked past, she was really pretty but what made me have a laughing fit was the way she had put her hair up. I managed to wait long enough before I erupted because obviously it wouldn't have been nice to laugh where she could hear me. I do feel bad, but I just couldn't help it.

Watching people eat ice creams makes me smile so much

Toddler bouncing with energy walking down the road holding their daddy’s hand. It always makes me smile and makes me miss DS being small.

We’ve just seen a hedgehog in our garden! We have cats and they’re just sitting looking at it and he’s just going about his business. So cute.

Me and DH were on holiday many years ago and while walking on the beach just after the tide went out ( so the sand was rippled) we noticed that there were clouds with a simalar patten in the sky .
Them clouds got christened Beach Clouds , I saw some today, it brought back many happy memories

( and some sad ones too )

Looking up into the sky and seeing planes coming in to land. Things have been shitty where I live for six months so my heart is filled with hope when I imagine tourists arriving all excited for their week/fortnight in the sun 🌞

These are all lovely, thank you for sharing them. Sometimes it's so nice to focus on the very small things, especially so at the moment. Smile
