Why are you happy today?

Cos i bought a bike today and after several millenia since i've ridden one i refound the joy of enjoying just going nowhere in particular and feeling the breeze in your face.

Why am I and millions of other people throughout the world happy today? Because of this.

Just because

Caus im on the piss, always a good reason to be happy. Oh and I made punch that is tasty

... yeah...

I am drunk and happy and had a fucking awesome night!

Sammy, the stairwell spider is back after being AWOL.

Because I don't live in garibaldi's house!

We sat in the garden all afternoon, shifting the lounge chairs when we ran out of shade, and trying out (well, I did) four different kinds of Weißbier. Unertl was definitely the best.

I had a nice afternoon/evening with some nice people. Munich is so cool when the weather isn´t.

I just am, had a wonderful weekend, wine tasting in Austria, and getting lots of sunshine and excercise.

Because I just found out my work visa has been approved. Hoofuckingraa!

Really! Must be Kiwi-Day - Crowded House are playing Munich and Timmeh's visa gets sorted. The rest of ya should buy lottery tickets or summat?

I was going to post that I was happy because there was a bag of fresh macarons on my desk when I came in and I ate half the bag, but Crowded House!!?? yeay!

I'm glad to know I am not alone in the world when things go to pot.

The Arc apparently has smoky bacon crisps.

That and Hazza's return to the place, as quizmaster no less, is something to be cheery about.
Although he is a try-stopping bastard, I do like the old bugger.

Smoky bacon crisps though, that's important.
Recently, I had a late-night Tegenseer Helles or several with a fellow in a Schwabing dive pub.
We both were liking the dinginess and the Brummie death metal.
Were.
Then we both realised that the pub appeared to be full of skinheads.
So time for another beer really.
Went to the bar and they sold crisps.
What flavour?
Smoky bacon.
Hence the protective effect of pork-tasting products kept visibly on the table is a fine thing.

Couldn't make it up really.

Plus they are my favourite flavour.

Happy coz I have lost 5kg in as many weeks!!

lucky!
i wish i could lose 5kg by next tues

Cut your arm off!!!

thanks for the advise. perhaps i'll use it

i'd rather just all of a sudden be thin. all i ask is 3-5kilos next week for 10days then i can go back to short, squat, troll status.

Because Dumfries House has been saved for the nation.
This is brilliant - not just because the house, a complete and undisturbed work of the Adam brothers, John, Robert and James, and collection, including the first important commission of Thomas Chippendale, will be kept together but also because it will finally be open to the public.


NOTE: It isn't actually in Dumfries, it is in East Ayrshire, the name comes from the 5th Earl of Dumfries who comissioned the property. The seller is Johnny Bute (better known as F1/Le Mans driver Johnny Dumfries or as the Marquess of Bute) and the property even has a Robert Burns poem - To John Kennedy, Dumfries House

Prince Charles did rather well there. Good Karma.

Becuase the cleaning lady was wrong today! She told me the Hoover was "Kaputt" but it wasn't. The bag was full!
Now we're all happy and the house is clean.

good job. especially with 2 dogs you want a vacuum!

i'm elated to have my brother's dog. she's amazing. sadly, i only get her for 2 days.
i was offered a job to teach at one of the kennel clubs (so i still have to work my normal job, but still it's nice being thought a good enough trainer to lead classes and things).
My favorite part of my job is going on right now (translation review and working with the translators),
Summerfest starts today which also starts the weekly fireworks for the rest of the summer.
lastly, i only have 5 more days of waiting until my long 6month wait is over! and the next two weeks are short work weeks between no work next Wed. and taking some time off.

Don't know where to post this: Met this 2 homeless couple last evening at the bus stop. They shouted, "Give way, we are Schwerbehindert (handicapped)" (in German). I moved because they stank & they would sit on anyone if anyone stayed on the seat. Then they took out 2 bottles of beer from their plastic bag. The woman said, "Hey, but you are schwerbehindert, you shouldn't be drinking" Anyway, she proceeded to open the bottles on the curb of the bus stop so that the bottle caps drop on the bus-driveway. Very environmentally conscious that the pavement is un-littered. The man started speaking in English & the woman replied, "You are American". At that point, my bus came & I couldn't stop being amused about them being schwerbehindert et al.

Cos i've just seen someone go from despair " I'm exhausted and beaten " to being someone who knows others care and appreciate them.

I just got the most fabulous birthday present ever!!!

happy birthday sweetie!

Is it your B'day Jenny L - if so, Happy Happy B'day.

I'm happy today just because.

happy bday.

Oh- sorry for the confusion. My birthday isn't til Saturday- but I got a birthday present early. Thanks for the birthday wishes though.

Tonight's Eastenders!

Ha! Article went in! Still needs some polishing around the edges, but not bad for a first version in three days. And it's still two days to the end of the quarter.

cause i am init!

Because its friday And the crapy weather looks like it might be leaving. And I have pink hair

Its my Friday, i'm smokin, and have hot pockets in hand.
god would want to be such an asshole...

Because I just received about 400 Barrys Gold label T-Bags from my Grandmother in Ireland with a little note saying "Enjoy the cup of tea."

Because I can finally use my parents' WLAN and no longer have to use errr... someone else's. Also yay for DSL16000 and being home home home!

Because I beat my mother in law 3-0 in our petty games. Normally she totally pisses me off and it's 0-1 to her. Tonight we went for dinner and she was desperate that I ordered the cheaper Currywurst. Now that is hard to me to turn down - I love it but I saw the doubly expensive basilikumravioli further down at 11 Euros instead of 6. Nope I insisted on the 11 Euro dish. 1-0. Then she tried to stop my sion playing with a knife at the table and banging on it. I completely ignored this although when alone I stop him normally. 2-0. Finally when I grabbed all the chips on my wife's plate as I was still hungry after eating mine she also made a shitty face. Hat trick.

England expects...

I got flowers, and I was able to help someone.

My neighbors just came by with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for me because I had written down the license plate number of a car which hit their parked car, and the police were able to find the driver.

Both my tomato plants on my balcony are having babies I thought they would not produce any fruits as I didnt know I was suppose to snip off the new leaf buds and now the plants is over 160cm. And the leaves are all yellow.

But alas, both the fleischtomaten and the cherrytomaten plants both are producing



Now, just waiting on my peppers to sprout. They have tons of white flowers so am hoping they come out soon

Good work on the tomatoes Babs!

I am happy today as somehow life couldn´t be better if it tried

Thanks and I am happy that you are happy I will be even happier when I get all the old paint scrapped off my kitchen tiles (thought it would take me a couple hours this am, am still at it) and they are painted tomorrow.

Is a good day all around

Simpy because acquaintances become friends, and before you know it deep attachments follow - I have a going away party tomorrow for a big group of people and I am touched by their attentions these last days - can't shed this skin, don't want too, we have broken bones together.

Never mind that the weather is such that Noah has also been invited. We have set up tents for torrents, rise river! RISE!

Is it supposed to rain tomorrow? I has hoping for sun as have a tennis game!

I am happy because two strong tt men moved me and all my stuff into my new apartment

Hey wahoo, totally feel with you - just got the keys to my new app today and am super happy. I still have to move my stuff tomorrow, but I can't wait for something new to start.

Have fun settling in, both of you!

I am just happy...

Life seems good at the moment...

Eurobabs:
I have thirteen tomato plants, four pepper plants and six dhili plants all growing nicely now.

Remember you should only have three groups of flowers called Trusses on each plant. Also you have to pinch out those shoots in between shoots and stem. I am not perfect at doing it but that is at least what you are supposed to so.

Oh, also my sweetcorn beans pumpkin 3 sisters bed is comning on now, amd I expect leeks, onion, peas, zucchini this year.
