View Full Version : 6 things that brighten your day.
Call me a noddy-antidote :p - here's 6 things that unexpectedly brightened my day in the last few weeks.
1) The courtesy of drivers and shoppers in the Central Market before Christmas.
2) The people down the road who put dinosaur skeletons on their roof. I don't know why they do it either.
3) Going to Strathalbyn for the first time in my life.
4) Having a brilliant risotto at Gusto in the Parade.
5) Finally getting the hang of making good coffee.
6) Finding the sweet spot on my 3 wood consistently.

1 Receiving an email/phone call from a good friend you havent touched base with recently
2 Swimming/walking before going to work (gets light in Brissie before 5am in summer)
3 Being paid good money to search the net and indulge one of my real passions - the Crows

6 Seeing our new born baby Olivia smile at her Daddy funny faces and songs
1) Watching a movie at the cinema.
2) Not having to cook dinner, eating at a nice restaurant and that doesn’t include take away. Fast foot is a major dislike these days
3) The loved ones in my life being happy.
4) Not being beeped at whilst in the car to make me hurry up at a stoplight or intersection.
5) Living in a humane country that is relatively safe and peaceful.
6) Sex (its always good even when it’s bad)

I used to be a heavy smoker, but I only smoke now when I drink. However, watching a co-worker cough up a lung during a smoke break still brings back happy memories.

I used to smoke, can't deal with the smell of it anymore.. If I go outside at tea breaks for a walk or something, all I can smell is smoke, I swear everyone you walk past in the city smokes and basically blows it in your face.
1. When the sun is out in the mornings
2. Getting driven to the train station (i get to sleeep in!)
3. Being given realitively easy work to do for the day
4. Getting a sub from Subway where the bread is soft. had one today, it was delicious. I hate it when they're all hard and yuck
5. Getting paid. That makes my week. :D
6. Sex.. - um, yes.

Actually Skippy that should have been no1 on my list as well just think it's bloody terrific the way us ordinary Australians have put our hands in our pocket & given so generously for the appeal. :)

3 - my dog (miss him ever so much)
4 - getting a letter or a card in the mail
5 - a 'you look nice' comment from russ
6 - sex is ok too

Absolute gold! I've been scouring DVD sites in the US and Canada for the series, but to no avail. One of my favourite sequences was when he was stranded in the desert somewhere with no water:
"I'm so thirsty I could drink the sweat of Patrick Ewing... I'm so thirsty I could suck the moisture out of a peep-show janitor's mop!"
Just brilliant. :D
As for Naked News, The Man Show and Real Sex... what ever are you talking about, my good fellow? ;)
