Things I’m Grateful For on Friday 4 July

Today’s list of things to be grateful for or appreciate:

  1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
  2. Weird dreams. I was with a family in WW2, and we lived on the side of a hill. They were Jewish, and were trying to hide from the Nazi’s. We were coming up with all sorts of plans to hide away. At one point, we were going to hide in the top of a chimney, a la Harvington Hall, but that plan fell through when I realised that if the Nazi’s saw smoke coming from the chimney, but there were no warm fireplaces in the house, they’d figure that something was up. It’s amazing what floats through my head sometimes.
  3. Hot Teeccino.
  4. Walking up the garden in the warm bright sunshine. :nearlyripe:
  5. Realising before I made a very bad mistake.
  6. Filling up the Ecover bottles. It makes me feel good to have something to do like this, that is also helping the environment.
  7. Lovefilm have sent me another couple of DVD’s. I really love their service.
  8. I’m off work all day.
  9. Smodging on Wenna.
  10. I’ve got another tub of treats for Wenna in my room again now, for when she’s good.
  11. I’ve added a new thing to the top left of the blog. It shows you the RSS feed from my other blog, Random Blatherings, so you can keep up with what I’m jabbering about over there. Please let me know if it’s working OK.
  12. For being able to sort of read HTML. It makes things much easier when I want to edit things.
  13. Wordpress. It’s the software I use to run this site. I’ve had hardly any problems with it, and any that I have had have been overcome quite easily.
  14. That my life is moving forwards in beneficial ways.
  15. Realising that if I’m hungry enough to eat junk food, I’m hungry enough to have my breakfast.
  16. Tasty chocolate cereal. It’s Aldi’s Harvest Morn Chocolate Crunch. Or somesuch name. Anyway, it’s very tasty, and cheap, which is always a bonus.
  17. I placed an order on Amazon on Monday for an item, that was due to be delivered yesterday. Today, it still hasn’t been shipped. So I’ve cancelled the order, and reordered the same item from another seller. It now shows as “dispatching soon”, and should be here tomorrow. :chili:
  18. Getting the hard drive in the computer cleared up a bit. I’ve deleted lots of old junk.
  19. A very tasty evening meal - potatoes, cauliflower, cabbage and lamb with rosemary and lemon glaze. Very nice.
  20. A scaldingly hot shower.
  21. I’ve just had an email from Amazon to say that my item has shipped! :carrot:
  22. Akismet has caught 142 (that’s not a typo) spam comments today alone.
  23. Watching some funny videos.
  24. Doing a Sudoku puzzle online at WebSudoku.
  25. Ribena.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

  1. Since I mentioned the Zoobee Doo toy yesterday, 14 people have arrived at the blog by searching for it.

Things I want to manifest:

  1. A fulfilling day off work.

Things I’ve done for others:

  1. Complimented mom on her cooking.

    Hi Sol, Just wanted to ask you something - when you say you’ve been “Smodging with Wenna” - what’s ‘Smodging’? I’ve never heard this word before, lol.
    Enjoy your weekend!

    Smodging is a word I made up when I was playing with the dog once. it basically means crawling about on the floor with her, tickling her, blowing up her nose, etc. Synonyms are romping/cuddling.

    The widget on the top left doesn’t seem to be working at the moment, I have to say. Could just be me though. I’ve a feeling this machine is grinding slowly but surely to a halt.

    I’m finding delivery from Amazon.co.uk frequently pretty poor, unless you pay for extra fast delivery. Nevertheless I do still tend to turn to them first because of being fairly sure of being able to find what I want.

    No, it’s not just you. It’s playing up here. It looks like the Springwidgets site is down. :( I’m on a free trial of Amazon Prime at the moment, but it costs £49 a year, and I only ever use Super Saver delivery, it’s actually going to cost me money in the long term.
