Minor things that make you happy

[verreauxi]

More of a personal thing, but this view makes me happy. It's about a minute run from my house (that's not my house in the photo). I run down this road every few days (some feeble mid-life thing that probably won't last) and it always provides a nice inspiration. This photo was taken today on Thanksgiving, where it's about 63F outside. Thank you China.

He's a smooth talking Portuguese chap with a perfectly sculpted beard, so not a million miles off.

So you fancy him then

Loads of people in my office have taken the day off for Black Friday. What a bunch of sad cases.

I hope they all get trampled to death in Westfield Stratford Primark.

Annoyingly, there seemed to be an acceptance a couple of years ago by most of the big UK retailers that it was a bad idea, and that they would instead have a period of deals over a 2 week period. But it seems the phenomenon won't go away.

I blame dumb-ass millenials wanting to emulate the yanks in all aspects of life.

a lot of online retailers at least are doing that. Currys running deals over a week rather than just on one day


Minor thing for me, new work trousers/shoes and lovely paul smith jacket/wooly thing. Also got a northern face tracksuit which is 3 sizes too big for me, may wrap that up and give it to my brother in law because a) its northern face, and b) its too big.
