Mrsmitch recieving two and a half grand from a PPI claim - that's the spending money for the states sorted!
Just found out that my Ex has found out about me going on a date tomorrow 8)
For once not unhappy about the bunch of people who can't keep their mouths shut and pretend to be my friends! LOL
Today I took my 2 week old daughter to the pub for the first time, we had a nice walk there, nice lunch and a nice walk back. She was awake the hole time and didn't cry once, very content little girl and very proud dad 😀
2 bike rides in one day. Very muddy (still) and I loved every minute of it. 😀 😀 😀 Had to work between them though, but I am still smiling.
Donna the middle aged lady from the office proclaiming
''as you get older, you start to go drier''
during a conversation about sweet wine.. many laughs followed.

Memo to Samsung (005930): Now this is how you get away with copying Apple (AAPL)! GizChina reports that a Chinese manufacturer has used leaked photos of Apple’s next-generation iPhone to slap together a quick knockoff of the device called the Goophone I5 and release it before Apple has a chance to launch the genuine article later this month. What’s more, the company has actually patented the knockoff design in China and is poised to sue Apple if it launches the next-generation iPhone in China later this year.
Working with a female colleague this morning on G wing. She was wearing a small cardboard box on her head (that I'd put there) & 4 prisoners came to the office & never said anything about it. The 5th one came & started laughing, which set me off.
Went for a walk with a beautiful girl and a [s] beautiful[/s] pug... 🙂
Found someone had left £15 behind the till in the beer shop next door. No idea who..,
Making my first batch of 60 litres of fresh apple juice.
Followed by chatting for over an hour with a very nice lady i'm seeing.
And then the day gets topped off with an Osprey stopping over for a few dips into the local reservoir.
It's been a day full of smiles
Out on a walk with the dog to recon some trails and stepping on a real soft spot, just over ankle deep in sludge with the dog in my arms. Swore at first like, but the smile shone through. 🙂
Jason Smyth, green machine 
fastest paralympian on the planet.
A foxy Quebecois lady smiled at me today. Went all gooey inside 😀 I'm too old for her 🙁 I need more beer to get her out of my mind.
Doing an underground services survey today on some waste ground near Xxxxxx when a local came out to see what I was up to...
Now, this was a curtain twitching sort of area, nice properties, neighbourhood watch signs everywhere, I got the feeling the people would be like the folk from Stampford in Hot Fuzz, well kept but OTT garden flower arrangements in a bid for best kept subverb or something.
Anyway, he of course asked what I was doing etc and what for
" a playground I think swings, slides, roundabout some gardens I think"
"Oh that will be lovely, I was hoping it would become a park and not get built upon. You know, they wanted to build flats on it a few years ago, flats, imagine! I thought about buying the plot myself you know to turn it into a park"
Imagine his face when he finds out its going to be covered with affordable housing!
Oh how It made me chuckle.
riding to work in the sun for 35 miles pretending i was wiggo
kept smiling all day after
going home in 2 minutes - 45 minutes through the woods then a very cold beer here:
Whitstable! That's in my top 10 favourite places, haven't been there for a while- my Kawasaki's been laid up 🙁
Watching Alan Olivera stroll through a 400m then Oscar Pistorious take it even easier to win by 10 seconds. Loving the mind games, tomorrows final is going to be worth waiting for.
And seeing Hannah Cockroft at the start of most ad breaks on channel 4- she always makes me smile, smiles for miles!
Otters
Not really something hat should make you smile but ... A Friend of mine lost his life yesterday morning, shot by accident, and in between the wtf moments the genuine volume, range and depth of love for him made me smile. He always had a smile on his dial and was a top bloke. Went for a run this morning as the sun came up and thought about how fragile life can be.
I've finished my Cotic X build ready for a ride tomorrow. Got my wife's mudguards and computer fitted to her commuter as well but that's not making me smile so much.
Fixed my dad's 10 year old string trimmer yesterday. Disassembled and cleaned the carb, cleaned the muffler and replaced the spark arrestor, and a few other minor things and got it running.
Today, tried to start it cold. Close choke, push primer bulb, pull starter cord, it fires once. Open choke, pull starter cord again, and it starts right up, exactly as it should when new! 😀
A decent nights sleep last night after a week of crap ones. 😀
Finding out that my post holiday credit card bill was far smaller than I had feared. 😯
Telling a Canadian work college an old and tired joke, but he laughed like a drain anyway. 😆
A few pints of Fosters, a meal out in a pub all paid for by the MiL and a very very large rum in my house. I think it was the rum that made me smile.
My wife
A small boy.
A lad riding Dalby red route in a bikini top. Really!
My eldest found about £15 in 50ps that I had saved many years ago
A skein of geese have just flown over my house. I smiled.
The 'luxury 4x4' thread - comedy genius from my perspective although I have a feeling it's not meant to be...
2 things from me -
Firstly, my wife putting on our wedding song at dinner tonight, it our 11th wedding anniversary today.
&
Secondly seen the photo of my late Mother who I said goodbye to on Wednesday 🙁 ( happy smilies and memories, thanks Mummy )
Went to war with a bunch of seized bolts on the car. Phyrric victory.
