Minor things that make you happy

This morning I saw a pair of Kingfishers and was able to watch them for 30 minutes or more as they fished at a local pond.
It's not unusual to see Kingfishers there, but more often than not they're seen in flight as a flash of brilliant orange and blue speeding past.
I have also seen them fishing before, perching on an overhanging branch from where they spot their prey before diving and returning to the perch to enjoy their catch.
This was what I was watching this morning, but I also observed them flying out and hovering over open water for about 15 or 20 seconds before diving. I have never seen this behavior before and it was a stunning sight. During the hover they looked for all the world like humming birds.
I've googled it and apparently it is not that uncommon for them to hover in this way, but it was a new experience for me and it certainly brightened my day.
A minor thing but it definitely made me happy.
A minor thing that made me fume though, was that I hadn't taken my camera with me.

Went to post my Christmas Cards. Only about 400 yard walk but with my sore foot and gammy knee, was not looking forward to it. Got outside front door and saw my neighbour talking the postman who had just delivered something. I stopped to have a chat with neighbour and Postie said 'I'll take those, save you a walk'. BONUS!.

Braved town, and finished my Christmas shopping.
Even got all I needed in the Everton 2 store.....?
Late night shop with the Missus for the food and booze this week, and all is Kosher.

Went on a dolphin tour this morning and we got to experience these lovely creatures in their element, swimming near the boat and doing flips just for us. ? ? ?
I'd much prefer to have a break from the traditional Christmas dinner and go for an Indian or a Turkish.
@Toast you should have popped to pub for a quick festive pint. I had a lovely stroll before, two pints and then wandered home.
