What made you happy today?

[The Veg]

Waking up and knowing that it's Saturday. Work has been REALLY tiresome lately.

[Louise]

A beautifully clear day, baking a sponge cake, gardening, going for a walk and returning to the delicious wafts of roast lamb.

And you thought I was over the top BEFORE I saw her.

What a fabulous evening, the lady is truly a star. I am very appreciative to have the opportunity to see / hear her live.

I'm also happy that at my age I can still get excited and passionate about the things I love. Life's good.

[rogerch]

I'm on a roll, life just keeps getting better.

I picked up my new glasses today, and wow what a difference, these are the new multi focal ones, and I mean new because although they have existed for a few years now, in fact my old reading and computer glasses were multi focal, only recently have the advances been made to accommodate my full prescription.

I went to have lunch with a friend so drove some way up the mountains, I can see all the gauges at a glance, I have more better colour depth in my vision, much improved definition, I can see much more clearly mid distance, more detail in the edge of the road, so I could go harder with more confidence into the corners.

On the way home I stopped at the supermarket, no more changing glasses to read labels, to key in my pin number. It all just gives another level of confidence. A huge improvement to my quality of life.

So they cost a fortune, I hang them on face every day 24/7 it's a bargain.

Hope you got flexi-frames if you 24/7 them.

I got the progressive lenses a number of years ago, but don't have them with my sunglasses and hate I can't read the gauges with the Rx suns, so I use a clip on shade at times. (Doesn't look cool, but saves a fortune!!! )

Heard that Red Nose day has raised 78,000,000 pounds this year, the most ever. More than one pound per person in the country. That's impressive.

[Louise]

Yep, that's pretty good. Shame it can't buy happiness the world over (and health).

Had a lovely walk through one of our local woodlands today and watched a buzzard, common kestrel and some canadian geese, a bumble bee and some very loud people dressed as medieval soldiers

only without the horse.

Came home the country way past a very lovely pub serving a good dose of peace, quiet, papers and a large glass of something.

[IanQ]

Spring is here ( well officially from tomorrow). That is enough to make me happy.

[matk]

A bit late but this made me REALLY happy!!!

Just another day at the office!

Very cool Mat - I think it was about 6.20am I watched this - hectic breakfast!

Today I learnt how to throw a rope tree surgeon style over a 20ftish high branch so I could raise a parachute cover, made my own fire using Silver Birch as tinder, striking a spark through flint and steel (eventually) and clearing the fire pit so you’d never know we had been there. Briefly touched on how to use a fire and bow set, we got smoke, blisters but not quite the ember, on the other hand it was the end of the day and I, personally was quite content.

If you are ever stressed, learn how to throw a rope over a branch...

...no, really

[arbell9]

I built a PC gaming rig tonight with Sabertooth Mobo, i7 970 3.2GHz CPU, triple channel 6Gb 1866 RAM, water cooled, twin GeForce GTX 580 in SLI mode.

if I could lick my own balls for pleasure I would.

Its Awsome.

Louise, I leaned years ago how (the lazy man's way) Use a fishing rod with a heavy lead weight on the end and point and cast !!! After the weight comes back down through the branches, tie the rope on the end of the fishing line and pull back through!!! (my needs are somewhat different as I put Amateur Radio wire antenna's up to the tops of 40-50 foot trees this way) I used to try to sling a weighted rope years ago until I was enlightened to the "fishing rod" or "bow and arrow" method!!! No sore shoulders, far more accurate, and a lot less frustration for me!!!

Here is it is , drool.....

[Bibs]

Where does the coffee come out?

[USAndretti42]

Where does the smoke come out?

[molemot]

More electronics there than in the whole world around 1960.....

What do you use it for?

[lrg_machine]

Don't let he smoke out

Electricity is a myth, it's all run by smoke, as soon as you let the smoke out it'll stop working, guaranteed.

These put out serious smoke . The tubes are several inches tall and it takes a small nuclear reactor to power it (and makes a wonderful auxiliary heat source for the house! )

What made me happy today?

Just seeing other Lotus freak

Thanks Jukka for our first "Lotus meeting" this year, coffee was good

[mityrare]

Hearing from the rail company that my Esprit S2 will arrive a week from tomorrow.

[oneshot]

Our new suite arrived today. Sitting in my chair with some cans of John Smith cooling in the fridge in the arm, and being massaged by the massage system built into the chair

[IanQ]

Realising tomorrow is April 1st and I can get revenge on my neighbours for years of April fools jokes which have included putting white lining on my prize lawn so it looked like a football pitch, hanging a blow up sheep outside the front door, putting black paper up on the bedroom window late at night so that when I woke up and opened the curtains thought it was still night time.

I wonder how they might react to seeing for sale signs in their drive ways
