Both Christy and Jo have posted lists of things that have made them smile today. So, well, it's not a bad idea for a meme, right?

Good things

Via Rohim in a thread at pickledpolitics I discover that odds are I'm not allergic to sunlight, instead I probably suffer from Photic sneeze reflex.

One of the two annoying obnoxious downstairs neighbours has been moved out. Unfortunately, it was the aggresive stupid one not the loud stupid one, but she's been given a fina warning

My upstairs neighbour managed to find a charity shop selling traditional ice-cube making trays, so I don't need to keep buying bags to make them any more - how insane is it to rip up plastic bags to make ice, all that packaging waste? I like the upstairs neighbour

The summer pressure cooker at work is almost over, now I've merely got to concentrate on keeping the clients happy and not costing the company too much money. assuming the heat doesn't get to me, I may be back to a sensible modd soon

I have friends that are happy. I can do silly little things to make them happy without saying a word. This is good.

Bell's Whiskey over ice, sometimes with lemonade. For this discovery I thank aliannurai

I'm reading again. The last two weeks I've finished Fforde's The Big Over Easy and Reynold's Century Rain, both of which were very cool. In addition, nadriel will be pleased to read, I've nearly finished flemco's Pedestrian Wolves, which is sick, wrong and entertaining, which is what you expect from Mr Grant, right?

The heat may be dying down, at least for a bit. We'll see

Both theweaselking and freddiefraggles have actually made me smile by posting pictures of cute animals. I don't do cute animals, so why did it cheer me up?

Overall, I've had two lazy days off doing very little. I had intended to tidy the flat, do some shopping, do some reading, etc. Meh, one out of three is ok, I'm relaxed and calm after a few stressful weeks...
