Little things in life that make you smile

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Knowing that tonight's dinner will be lamb chops marinated in olive oil, garlic, lemon & rosemary, with ratatouille. F*cking looking forward to that.

My car failed the MOT for an airbag warning light. Dealership was quoting me in excess of £1k to fix the 2 problems. Just got a back street auto electric genius to 'rework' the 2 problems for £150. Car passed MOT this morning :thup:

My daughter staying with me this weekend opened up her school book bag and saw an Easter card, thought that’ll be for my ex I’ll put it to one side and give it to her Sunday afternoon then opened it up and it was for me! Genuinely overchuffed!

Yesterday I went - fairly reluctantly - with the ever fragrant Mrs Monkeybubbles to the RHS Gardens at Wisley. A mate of mine is a senior horticulturalist there and when I told him that she's retraining as a gardener he offered us a 'behind the scenes' look around.

It was astounding, an amazingly beautiful and interesting place.

My chill out sanctuary from many years ago.Still try to get there every couple of years.
If you're in the West Country ever, RHS Rosemoor is smaller, but still a great place.

I bet he was loving life on his bike, looked cool as **** 8-)
Unless it was, what is called a suicide clutch
