Glad to read all of this, except this:

I don't. I hope he caught some wasps and/or mosquitoes and/or gnats. And any clothes moths that happened to venture outside.

Good point. I hope he got all the flies in the world.

I don't mind flies as much - they clean up all the shite we leave lying around. But those bloodsucking and no-honey stinging cocksuckers can fuck the fuck off.

Marathon runners having a fag after the finishing line.

Winning £15 and a £5 shopping voucher in my first month playing the postcode lottery. Since I'm £7.50 up I may as well quite now though, since I'm probably not going to win anything else for years now.

Reading about Alex Horne running a Taskmaster session in a care home including a centenarian contestant.

It's all rather heart warming.

Aye, it's all fun and games until you see how Mavis makes a carrot disappear without eating it, and then the complaints start.

Ran into this lot on a day trip to Dublin yesterday. Great bunch of lads...

About time someone pulled Ted up on it.

Just Eat do stamp cards for some restaurants when you collect 5 stamps which equates to 10% of what you've spent, so I've got a massive curry order for just under a tenner which feels like a win.

Yes to get that discount I've had to spend a ton, but that's by the by. Still feels like a happy win.

Get the same with my local Indian. My usual meal then costs about £8 which seems like a bargain if I don’t think of how much I’ve actually spent beforehand.

Someone driving on the other side of the road frantically flashing their lights to warn you about a police speed trap waiting round the corner. Beautiful.

I was really unwell last week and when I got to work yesterday my colleague had made me a massive loaf of banana bread.

She also knows that I hate fuss being made about me or anything that draws attention to me (I open presents on my own in another room for instance) and made sure there was no one about when she gave it to me. It's gorgeous and absolutely huge (fnar fnar)

So to summarise on the nice colleague gesture scale, banana bread left on desk > coffee which is a 15 minute walk away

Looks like the inside of Frankie's Quality Street tin.

I just bought myself a 3 month Cineworld Unlimited because life's been shit recently and I needed cheering up.

Might have been cheaper to just buy a chocolate bar but maybe not these days.

Going to spam it with classic movies and the summer blockbusters. I'm excited.

Morrisons were selling off some "Marathon" bars last week for 27p. I bought 3. Talk about being cheered up.

Was brought down to earth when I filled out my calorie tracker with 3 Snickers though.
