What made you happy today?

four random track samples -
  • Short Change Hero (by The Heavy)
  • Redemption Blues (by Miracle of Sound)
  • The Steeple (by Halestorm)
  • Drive Me, Crazy (by Orville Peck)

196 tracks and 12h 50m playtime total. Finished it and then realised I was meant to have been tidying up. Oops.

I listened to the first one. I like the vibe of it! If the whole playlist is the same vibe - that’s an interesting mood your in! 🤣

Incidentally, all was quiet in Piggyville, until I played The Heavy track. Then from the depths of the tents came those wee machine gun noises - like, “What’s that noise Zola?”
“I don’t know Pansy, but I don’t like it!”
“When do you think it will stop?”
“How should I know?! Just be quiet and hope it goes away soon!”

Silence……. 🤣

Some are a tad angrier, some are a tad more...sarcastic? Some are a tad happier, but generally the same vibe throughout. I pulled them from a larger playlist of 1,251 songs so it's not the entirety of my music collection lol.

That’s quite a playlist! I think my longest one has about 25 or so on it! 🤣
 
It has something to match every mood I have on it - mind you it's a mess, no order to it at all lol.

That would be Halestorm's The Steeple, The Reckoning and Back From The Dead. Also Fatal Smile's Welcome To The Freak Show, Onlap's Mondays (that one's NSFW), and Cory Marks' Blame It On the Double.

I just checked and you can view the playlist without a Deezer account, so here it is. Just be warned not every song title is SFW.
 
Not today specifically, but earlier this week - the rain, the cooler temperatures and being able to put the piggies back outside after the heatwave made me happy. It was great having them in the hoise for six days, but keeping the dog out of the kitchen was becoming rather wearing, she just won't tolerate them.

The pears are ripening and if they would only stop jumping out of the trees we will have a good crop this year despite the drought 🙂
 
My guinea pig cushions from Asda (bargain at £7 each) got damaged in transit and returned to the store. And they’ve been out of stock ever since. I finally got a refund and a voucher as a goodwill gesture. People are selling them for stupid money on EBay (really annoys me). Anyhow, today they are back in stock online . So I’ve ordered my 2 replacements and used my voucher to buy a third that I shall donate to a charity or as a prize somewhere.
 
I accidently managed to remove the Google Search Bar on my mobile phone this morning (I don't even know how I did it one moment it was there the next it had disappeared!). I also managed to get it back on again. I am a complete technophobe so it was Youtube to the rescue!

You're so lucky you get on with your brother. I can't think of anything worse than my brother coming to stay for the weekend!

I always tell my kids that we get 2 chances at family - the one we are given and the one that we choose.
Sometimes one of them doesn't work out, but there comes a point when you have to accept this and move on and surround yourself with 'family' that you do want to spend time with.

Absolutely agree with this. My best friend I've known for over 40 years. She is the sister I never had. She said to me once "better the sister you never had than the brother you don't want".
 
On Thursday I worked up a sweat doing a full body workout. It wasn’t particularly long but I did so well I struggled felt aching in my thighs when I climbed into the bath.

I thought I’d do another (different one) yesterday and survived it. I’ve discovered muscles in my thighs that I didn’t know I had 🤣 sitting down and going down the steps is a struggle but I’m enjoying? the pain.

Now to decide whether to do a gentle indoor ride today…I probably will…

Dinner is half ready. I’m parboiling the potatoes ready to roast in the slow cooker. I made apple and plum crumble (dairy and soya free) so the two with their allergies can have some. The plums are from a tree in the garden and the (cooking) apples are from the neighbours’ tree. And my sister gave me a HUMONGOUS courgette! I’ve used some in the mince for dinner.
