What deed, thought, sight or what was said today that made you smile?

I was weeding for a customer. I found a clematis beginning to grow. The lady was happy because she did not recall having it.

Well i didnt mention when i did my "new member bit" but not only do i love gardening and the country life style but for more years than i care to remember ive been a petrol head

(mad keen on anything engine wise from cars /motor bikes/tractors: anything that has an engine)
And so unlike my wife ive had the same car for many years and I do keep it serviced and clean (her indoors just tells me her car needs cleaning knowing i'll sort it out or she can't find the dip stick/Spare tyre/ or do i have a thing called a battery in my make of car etc etc etc?)

My car has a dust cover on it most days and it was this cover that first gave me thoughts of birds playing around in the barn area were i park the car,
I found bird droppings on the cover, But i couldnt see any signs of birds and so took the cover off and it was washed,

While the cover was being washed the car was still in the barn and again the dreaded bird calling sign was tobe seen "on the boot end of the car"
I looked up and they both could be seen looking at me as they continued to build the nest "Two little swallow's"

All this was three weeks ago and now when i go into the barn (daily) i see four little heads popping up and over the walls of the nest to see what im up to,
I have to open the barn door so the mum & dad can get out for hunting food and last thing at night the same side door is closed (I swear one of these little birds winks at me as im turning the light off and closing the door.

There is a VERY good reason they say "Curiosity killed the cat."

I was weeding for a customer. I found a clematis beginning to grow. The lady was happy because she did not recall having it.

On Friday I weeded for the same customer. I found another clematis that the lady had not planted.

Not so much what I saw, but what was said.

My wife is into making decoupage cards. In the early days of this hobby, card makers built up the layers of the elements of the cards by using several tiny squares of polystyrene, glued between them. The current method used by many, is Pinflair glue. It replaces the fiddly pads as you use blobs of it as it's a bit like silicone, sealant but not runny. But it isn't cheap, three 80ml tubes are £14.
She gets me to buy it for her on eBay.

Today she said to me,

"I need more glue!"

Why? I bought you some recently.

"That was back in March and look! It's nearly Christmas!"

She was pointing at the various elements of the Christmas Cards she's already started constructing for family, friends and neighbours.

I ordered more glue.

I was walking out to my garden with a gallon of biological warfare and I was thinking what else can I add to the spinosad and bT?

Then I called myself an idiot.
