Having a lovely day, seeing lovely friends, and knowing I don't have anything to do tomorrow.
Spending a couple of hours test riding a few motorbikes and reminding myself just how much I love being out on 2 wheels.
The only bike I was potentially interested in buying (Honda Fireblade) had some bodywork damage that the dealer wasn't interested in repairing nor would he offer any £ off so I walked away. Shame.

Sounds rather unreasonable - perhaps he thinks all this hot weather will make people desperate to buy!
I would have thought so too but he didn't seem to agree.
With a holiday coming up it's probably a good thing that I kept the £ in the bank but I shall probably go looking again when I get back from Canada.

Approached a toilet at work, saw a 'wet floor' sign, walked carefully into the room and did my business.
Walked out and tripped over the sign.
Would have been more delightful if someone else had done it, but it still made me laugh.

They have to do it as close to the season finishing as possible because its the same evening they do the Player of the year awards etc, and that has to happen before all the players bugger off for their summer holidays.

One person has done loads of stuff over the years, and the other was someone I nominated who was a very dear friend who died of a heart attack shortly after leaving a game a couple of months back. He had been a coach steward for 10 years, and did a lot of work for the "Senior reds" I don't want to win it, I hope he does, i'm just touched to be nominated and to then make the shortlist. :)
Then I hope your friend wins it :)
That's sad about the heart attack :( The prize is in the nomination you're right and a tale like that highlights such.

I love how one single idea can change your whole outlook & make you reevaluate everything you now know or have ever known. :cool:
Finally I love how music resonates in tune with ones body & acts like a time machine whisking you away to happy memorys & places. :cool:

Fixing something on my car all by myself even though I'm a total klutz when it comes to all things mechanical.
This is going to sound strange... but work stress... Today, has been epic in terms of things happening all at the same time. Literally haven't been off my phone all day - hardly eaten anything either (which for me is unheard of!). I've now reached a lul and looked back over my emails, notes and things that I've achieved and I can't help but feel really satisfied. Tired, but happy. I bloody need a promotion though!
Having something to look forward to: When I am feeling rubbish, thinking about the fact that in August I am going to see some fab friends that I haven't seen for yeearrrsss!
*lubs you guys* *squeeeeezes*
Coming home having just picked up one of these: Magimix Le Glacier Ice cream makers (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0000C6YLB/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00008WFDE&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0YJ4HWK9QNGD3HF3TPDP)
Have wanted one for ages but couldn't justify the price.
And a load of veg plants, chillis, tomatoes, cucumbers, purple sprouting broccoli.
The best bit it was all free courtesy of Freecycle!
I bought an ice cream maker, used it once, now it sits in the freezer full of ice cubes.

Tearing down a huge hill on my bike to find a crossroads with a green light so I don't have to brake!
I'm pretty sure I was breaking the speed limit.
Yeah that's a nice feeling juan! :D
I still hold onto that feeling of jumping/falling out of a plane. I did it over 500 times, and can pretty much remember every single one. It's that sense of freedom, and that sense of being at one with nature - a little like the first time I went scuba diving - total immersion in a world where you're no longer king.
And, rather unsurprisingly, when the parachute opens of course! :D
I do miss it, but I still remember the memories vividly - it's that sensory overload that really just hits the spot.
Another thing recently, seeing friends interact, and just being around happy people - you don't even necessarily have to be part of the main group, sometimes just watching people having fun and enjoying life is wonderful - makes you glad to be alive to witness these things.
Last one for now, sitting in a cafe either in Cyprus or Paris or in Med in general - watching the world go by. Sounds like a waste of time and life, but actually, it's just very relaxing for me. :)
Running to this ;D

I think the wordings she used whilst tearing it to shreds and screaming (whilst people stood and stared) was:
"I KNOW I HAVE TO LOSE ******* WEIGHT, I DON'T NEED A PIECE OF PAPER TO TELL ME THAT! ARGHGhGHghgHGhGHHHHHHHHHHH" *rip rip rip tear tear tear throw in the air*

Interestingly, when I just checked the spelling of "Ventouse", I discovered that it is also a vacuum device for sucking babies out of their mothers during the birth process. I'm not going there, I'm going to the village near Mansle, in France... just so you're all sure about that...

I won a competition which I totally forgot to post here about!
Drinkstuff.com had a competition going to design your ideal cocktail kit. So I did. Shaker, glasses, bar knife, bar blade, cocktail book, bar spoon, strainer - I think that was everything.
Anyway I submitted my entry and I won! :D Part of winning was receiving the whole bundle for free! Came to about £50's worth of gear! Still chuffed even now! :D

Medical trial.
Charcoal mixed with water slows down the effect of drugs 7 & I'm testing a new asthma drug.
Doesn't taste great & does bad tings to your bowels.
£1300 though, not bad!
My parents! They are currently in Germany on their way to visit, bless 'em!

My rational thing I like today is that I am getting my hair done, hate it when my roots get as bad as they are now, I am also getting it done for free by my hairdresser because next weekend I am looking after her kids (3yr old and 3 month old) for the evening as she has a party to go to. Mustn't grumble. :D

Can't believe I'm going to say this... but the overground network. It's just really rather good! :shocked: Straight home from Brick Lane basically to home! Fantastic!
Reading BD while looking out over Vancouver :)
"mobile" websites...
Okay, it's really handy they've designed a site to be optimised for a mobile device...
However, when they don't offer the option to "view the full site" - it does wind up.
Recently, bought something online, and all the options I was hoping for weren't offered (wanted to add some extras to the delivery). Sure it was delivered ok, but all the options I was hoping to add to it weren't available...
On the full site, all the options are there and working! Ah well, I'll just have to hope that it's ok!
Brilliant. To add to this, it appears that the cancelled order DID work... but, get this - I wasn't charged for it! :D

Having British strawberries that taste amazing :D there was not one sour strawberry :D
It sounds like a weird one but being rejected in a positive way by a website I really respect.
Pitched a feature idea to a major games website a few weeks ago. Been told by the editor that their freelance budget is tight at the moment and they haven't got any openings at the moment BUT also been told that they really liked my work and to definitely pitch again in the future :D
Really boosted my confidence to hear that :)

Quite a few today,
Having a butchers and a greengrocers a few doors away from my house :) tonight they have supplied superb steak and delicious strawberries :D
My little cat, she is such a cutie pie. She brings a smile to my face as soon as I see her running towards me when she can see I am home, and her crazy little habits. :D
And a quiet front so far in Birmingham :D Wooo Hooo. Hopefully that is the end to it! Thank you to the police, they have arrested people straight away today before anything could happen :).
A long one! :D
In February this year I went on a megahunt to find 3 x small dresses for bridesmaid dresses for my friend's wedding in November.... I literally went to 8 Country Casual (CC) stores and outlets around the south east to track them down....Chichester, Eastbourne, Bromley, Bluewater, Regent St, Lakeside..... then the same again when we realised that they actually had matching bags as well....
ANYWAY since then one of the bridesmaids has fallen out with the bride and there is a vacant spot so the Bride asked the Groom's neice... 2 days later she realises that the small probably wouldn't fit her!!! She's on the phone to me stressing about it before getting on her plane to Cyprus.
Anyway I told her to chill and relax on her hols and I will phone round and see what we can do... no worries about stressing about finding a new dress until we 100% know that we can't get one from CC.
She said that she had already got a similar one shoulder dress and I was like... er it might look like we are trying to match it and failing... go on hols and leave it with me and I will try to call all the stores etc...
She emailed me the next morning to say that she had phoned head office and they said that there was one in their Bromley office but when she phoned Bromley it was not there :(
Anyway so I sent a pleading message to Head Office and today got a VM at work to say that they have one :D I paid for it and its on its way! Woo hoo!!

Don't you love it when a plan comes together, good job BB :)
Buying a dress this week that is identical to one I bought 2 months ago.... only it's 1 dress size smaller! Yay! Exercise paying off :)
Certainly do Mubs ;) have text & emailed the Bride 2B & she's currently at her brother's wedding today.
Oh well done! :D Such a good feeling when that happens :)

Was sposed to meet an old work friend for dinner tonight but knew id have to cancel due to hen do stuff etc & fitting in gym...
She text me this morning to say she couldnt make it as was off sick.

LOL, did you not really want to meet her or were just a bit embarrassed you were going to have to cancel? :)
Had something similar the other week when I bumped into my best friend from when I was a kid and whom I've not seen for 25 years. Was good to see him and catch up but made a point of not dwelling long enough for it to get to the "exchanging numbers or adding each other on facebook" stage ;)

Last night I was talking to some Level 2 girls at Pole Class... and they were asking me to show them stuff that they would be learning in Level 3... so for some reason I chose the Cross Knee Release (something that I didn't actually master since my Level 3 course).
I managed to do it lol... not sure if it was because of pressure but still.. its only taken 4 month... hahah... second time this has happened with a move.
