Found a mobile phone in the car park this morning, on the ramp out to the pavement. It was sitting in a stream as it was raining hard - almost submerged
Got to the office, dried it off but couldn't get past the screenlock
Eventually someone rang it and with a bit of to and fro, the owner got their phone back
Good deed for the day complete

Edit: Swindon has population of ~230k, and yet my wife knows the mother of the person who's phone it was

Me too!

New dentist, apparently I have fewer fillings than the average person in my age. Excellent gum scores (0s and 1s). In and out in about 10mins and half of that was her asking questions about my general health.

Oh they are handy aren't they I had an old TV set sitting around for months there was a very full skip in the industrial estate it was so heavy I couldn't even lift it over the lip just propped it up against it and they still took it. Happy days.

Love it when I open the Lidl app, and it tells me I have a free bakery item.

This weekend is the first one in many months when I've not been worrying about what I need to get done at work next week.

Dentist today for a checkup and a clean by the Hygienist need a new metal Molar to replace a broken tooth - that will make five metal teeth - my teeth will be like Jaws (James Bond) in a few years.

Had a letter waiting for me from the NHS when I got home, my bowel cancer screening test was all clear.

Putting the eldest to bed tonight was just the most purest of joys, and it just keeps getting better and better.

Oi oi, Swindon (OK technically Wroughton and now another unmentioned North Wiltshire satellite village but still) represent.

I'm feeling happy / hopeful that a major change is likely to happen in the 4th quarter of 2024, that will affect the whole country...

Other than that, I feel happy to have finished my studies (as a mature student) towards a degree (a few months ago).

Thoughts about happiness - Pets seem like a fairly simple way to boost happiness - I like cats personally. It looks like there's going to be a new law soon that will mean there are less restrictions on pet ownership for most tenants, so that's something...

Getting things for free or very cheap makes me happy also

. Like Epic games for example. 'Free' money for switching bank accounts.

The weather in Tenerife?

I applied for a passport renewal got new one and my old one back in a week

Just a few tips I think make things a lot quicker, go to a photo shop that do passport photos, this way they check your photo will be accepted on the government website, and you get a digital photo code to use when applying online.
Send old passport back asap, using a recorded/special next day delivery service.
