Minor things that make you happy

[degsy]

Proper fun, Degs...wish I could've been there. Just missing a milk crate, packed with various single malts, strapped to the bonnet!

They were in the fridge strapped down in the back - safety first.
Camp fire, drink Whiskey, talk crap, doesn't get any better.

Hah, you got that right! The backdrop to when I cracked open that bottle of Compass Box, Orchard house (I've got way too many photos like this). Minor things, that make us happy.

Driving past the idiot, who was so close to you in rush hour motorway traffic, you couldn't see his number plate or lights and gave you abuse when you moved over for him to get passed then watched as he drove like a loon ball to save about 50 seconds, getting a tug by the plod

The wife burnt the soulplate of the iron yesterday to the extent that she was talking of buying a new one.
I decided to search the internet for ways of cleaning it without scratching.
As you might imagine there are dozens of different tips for ways of doing this.
Some of the answers I found suggested using various items that might be found in most households e.g. vinegar, toothpaste, baking soda, lemon juice etc. but for some reason I decided to try the one that seemed least likely to me.
Paracetamol lol
The suggestion was to heat the iron to max and rub it with a paracetamol tablet. (mind your fingers) It just sounded so ridiculous that I had to try it.
I was amazed to find that it does actually work brilliantly. The paracetamol melts as you rub it and then just wipes off taking any burn marks with it and leaving the iron like brand new.
It took about 2 minutes. Money saved . . . and browny points from the Mrs.

Saved yourself a headache there mate

Getting a birthday card from Everton. Yes I know it's computer driven but still.
Makes it all worthwhile somehow. All those final five minutes that last an age. All the bitten finger ends.

Really happy for my friend and colleague, who's study on lemurs and climate change at our field stie, was given a brief little blurb in New Scientist. And the BBC also came down to our field site this past week to film. This was part of her dissertation research, so it's nice to see her work acknowledged like this.

Hearing that Jimmy Carter is still around. Aged 98.

Got an absolute steal from Facebook Marketplace last night. Bloke was dodgy as heck but who cares.

Hearing that Jimmy Carter is still around. Aged 98.

When I was in Atlanta, on a lark, we went to the Carter Library; it was way more interesting than I anticipated. He is all-around a very impressive and sincere fellow. I also didn't realize he had won three grammy awards for poetry reading, among many other impressive honors.
