What made you happy today?

Politics aside, the faces of the kids visiting the Houses of Parliament today when everything hit the fan made us laugh out loud. What a day to go on your school trip! People dashing about everywhere pulling their hair out and news cameras around every corner...

Daughter went to the HoP in junior school and they do a guided tour. I didn't even realise they let school trips in until that point. Do you know where my junior school took us? Stoke Bardolph sewage treatment works. Aaah, the good old days!

Did you see the cat on the window edge of Number 10 - back leg straight up in the air, licking its backside! So appropriate! 🤣🤣🤣

Wait! What happened?!?!?! They don't show this type of stuff on the news here in the US. Is there a link somewhere of this video?

🤣 Sounds hilarious!
 
One of my neighbours and I were chatting today as she was bringing my bin back, about the house and the money being asked for it and the work needing done, and she asked me, if the housing association bought it, would I be staying? And I said yes, and she said, "Good. You're the type of person we want as a neighbour - you're polite, you're friendly, you're quiet and you don't make trouble for the rest of us."

I hate compliments, but I can work with that lol.

It amused me. I thought to myself, “Well that just about sums it all up 🙄”
 
Woo hoo! Making myself keep it unopened until after dinner! Then I’ll get a coffee, lift the dog on my knee and breeeeeeeath!

Coffee at mine! Someone bring their piggy nail trimming scissors and demonstrate how it’s done please! 🤪

Not quite what you're asking for, but: 48 hours of political chaos in 60 seconds

Thank you! That was crazy! I'm used to the crazy stuff from the US, but it is always interesting to see how things unfold in other people's countries. We had a mayor that almost lost to a cat when we lived in Key West. He also had his own pirate ship with a cannon that he would fire at other ships. It was lots of fun! :))

Honestly it's the most entertaining politics fiasco for me in about a year (when Edwin Poots was very, very briefly leader of the DUP, Dad and I watched the news as it was announced and I cackled for ages, with my Dad running up the stairs to tell my mum "You'll never believe this"). Politics should implode like this more often.

Edwin Poots! 🤣🤣🤣. Oh Ano!
 
Ah it was great. Swoop right in, get swept right back out. :))
 
Bought some new walking boots as old battered pair are patched all over and only used for digging. Had ordered a few pairs in off the internet from Mountain Warehouse as delivery was free and boots are all on sale so good bargains - check it out people. The plus is that they can be returned to the nearby store for free too (take note flippin' Sports Direct!) Hubs got a pair to fit, finally bullied daughter into waterproof coat for hols next month, but no boots for me. Size 7 and 7 wide fitting all way too snug. Tried on some more in store when I returned them - all pinchy. Even an 8 was pinchy. Then tried on a pair of men's size 7... and they fit like a glove. Seems I have man feet! But now I have bargain chocolatey brown boots and a big smile.

Hubs nearly bought a decent waterproof in a dove grey until we realised that the gentle sparkle it seemed to give off was because it was retroreflective and he would have lit up like a Christmas tree at night. He said he could manage without that much attention!
