What has made you smile today?

I’m struggling a bit at the moment, especially at work.

Just watching Dover 24/7 programme and learnt about the Magical Taxi Tour Cabbies taking children to Disney Land Paris. Wasn’t even just the cabs but seeing the police, people at Dover and then reading about the behind the scenes stuff such as the medics.

Has Anything made you smile today? It would be great to hear about other good stuff as news and SM tends to the bad.
Thanks

My Labrador being an utter airhead, a goofball, and so incredibly loving. I have another Ddog, but today it was my Lab’s day. Later on, watching Jonathan Ross’s best interviews either Noel and Liam. Hilarious.

My lovely student bought me gorgeous smelling scented candles to say thank you at the end of her placement. She is ace and it’s great to know our profession has such great people coming on board. Made me smile loads.

My DD is amazing in many many ways but not a hugger. She let me give her a big hug today. I asked first and she let me give her the biggest hug. (She also hugged back)

My patient awesome loving kind and amazing dh making me smile and laugh out loud when I was feeling fairly bogged down and generally stressed today.
reminds me why I married him

Took DD 16 to Alton towers for her birthday today. Was so fun and made me smile spending time with her doing something we both enjoy so much.

My beautiful 4yo DD shouting ‘here me am!’ as she came home from nursery. She warms every part of my soul.

I’ve just watched it too OP and it actually made me a bit emotional as it was so lovely

I actually really like Dover 24/7 - I find it fascinating!

Spying a little private moment between my dog and my mum. My mum was giving my dog a little pep talk on how beautiful she is.

Sux2buthen · 07/07/2025 22:08

My mum is bedbound, has been on and off for eight years. Today with support, she stood for two minutes ☺️huge progress

Getting Wilf home for a week has made me very happy!! 💕 💕 💕

I swam in the sea very early this morning. The sky was full of storm and the water was so choppy it buffeted me about so much that I laughed out loud. Then I got out and had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon that tasted just like the sea.

I’m sorry to hear you are having a tough time atm @Takemybrainaway

I was lucky enough to be at the beach today and seeing the pure joy of dogs playing and living their best beach lives was fantastic.

I found my neighbours new kitten snuggled up on my sofa after jumping through my window, I took her home only for her to return a hour later. My dd singing her heart out to matilda the musical also made me smile

TheChosenTwo · 07/07/2025 22:20

A nice cuddle with my dh today. Just needed it and it cheered me up and made me feel better. He is a chief hugger though, proper bear hugs.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 07/07/2025 22:24

My cat “holding my hand” earlier. He’s not a lap cat but he loves to cuddle up with you if you lie down on a bed.

Also the sweetpeas I planted from seed have bloomed and I have a jar full on the mantelpiece. I have honesty got black fingers, MIL had to talk me through every step with these, and I am so bloody proud of myself. I can usually kill a houseplant in ten days. They smell amazing!

What a handsome floof!

We adopted this little boy after we very suddenly lost our gorgeous 10-year-old girl last year (intestinal lymphoma) and he has been an absolute tonic. He was just one and had been a stray kitten living in a lady’s garden for most of his life. 😭He’s now two and lives like a total king.

He dances.

Being told I won a fair amount of money, first thing this morning!

Spending time with DM who is 93 years old - every visit is a blessing

My DS is 16 today too! Happy birthday to her. Think he had a good day, had family round at weekend.

We've had nits in my house 🤢 We had the second dose of disgusting hair stuff at the weekend.
I brushed out my curly, shoulder length hair, with my head tipped upside down, with the nit comb to make sure none of the buggers have come back (still dead!). I took a selfie to see how ridiculous I looked with fluffed up hair and I burst out laughing 🤣

Sonolanona · 07/07/2025 23:11

Watering my allotment today and spotting a gorgeous large warty toad under my sweetcorn! So I knelt down to have a chat with him and another allotmenteer passed my plot and stopped to ask why I was praying to my plants😁

Notmyrealname22 · 07/07/2025 23:26

I played hide and seek with my 12 year old son last night. For some reason it made me ridiculously happy and smiley. Smiling now just thinking about it.

nottoplan · 07/07/2025 23:38

I was in my car waiting at traffic lights and a man walked out of a drive way looked up at me and gave me a really warm kind smile , I smiled back , it made my day , completely unexpected warmth from a stranger
