Trivial things that please you beyond all expectations

Trying to cross a busy road with a 30 mph speed limit, constantly broken, yesterday evening, a car appeared on my left waiting to turn right. My thoughts were 'I now have to watch this car as well as those approaching from my left and right on this busy road'. I then looked to my left to see the driver of the waiting car on my left had stopped in the middle of the road to block the traffic approaching from her left, to let me cross safely, telling me to wait when she saw a fast approaching car on my right. When the driver of that car knew he couldn't get passed the considerate driver's car he had to stop, allowing me to cross safely. I thanked the considerate driver with her replying 'My pleasure sir'. How kind and thoughtful of her!

Edit...plus she was in what looked like a quite powerful Audi, which just goes to show not all Audi drivers are two hats, as some seem to think!

Watching, from the kitchen window, the sparrows bathing in the "water feature" on the terrace.
When their bathing, lighting and my camera are coordinated we might get a photo.

I accidentally bought a small rucksack instead of a medium one on ebay. It's just the right size to go on easyJet as a free 'under seat' bag.

Looking east, just simply watching the sunrise with the nearby flats backlit by it and with the sky ablaze.

Also at dusk when the sun and sky reflect off all those windows to create an ever changing blue and yellow spectacle, as I look east towards them.

At night too, when the sky is a rich dark blue and the red beacons on the top off set it all. 😍

The flats are actually about a mile away but on a hill, so they are very prominent, especially as there are 7 of them. They never cease to create a focal point of some kind... Even when they vanish in the mist!

I watch from my tiny (council) bungalow and wonder what sights they must see from the top, including the flights into Glasgow Airport, easterly still, for them!

Where am I? Pinno? 🤣

I've finally just moved my living room clock forward an hour, two and a half months since the clocks went forward to British summer time.

The very act of being a non-conformist makes you a conformist. Just marching to a different drum beat.
Nice mixed metaphors there too.

A friend of ours is lending us her Porsche so my daughter has the suitable grand entrance to the school "prom". I offered to sort out short term insurance but she insisted on adding me to her policy as a named driver for the year. Her premium went down £23 and I have access to a Porker for the next year (in theory).

Can I be introduced too?!🤔🤣
