I was feeling a bit antsy and there wasn't a thread yet at 22 past midnight.

Have a great day everyone. May you and the animals of the DT who like sunbathing get some sun.

Gratitude thread.

Grateful for the sun :)

Grateful for people thinking of others and having situational awareness on the bus. Bus is crowded. People get on and the students give their seats up for the elderly. More people get on, including a couple of people with walkers. The most spry of the elders give up their seats for those people. People move down the back without the driver having to do their lolly about it. Very civilized all round.

I'm grateful that the lawn mower worked. That grass never stood a chance once I remembered you have to start it neutral.

Grateful I had an easy day today and got my uni admin sorted out. A nice, clock in/clock out sort of day, go home and sleep now.

Also immensely grateful for the short commute to my second job... It's so good after a long day knowing I don't need to battle more traffic to get home.

Grateful for both the sun today at lunchtime and an relatively quiet afternoon at the office.

Now I can relax for the rest of the night and think about what I want to eat.

Grateful for slow days. And reformer pilates which is doing wonders for my health, physical and mental.

Grateful I can afford tonight's luxury dinner of Savoy crackers and Philadelphia cream cheese

Grateful for contraband police (game). New obsession. Although I'm not a very good Soviet era police officer, and I don't like first person shooting. Nobody's really supervising me though, and there's no mobile phones to film me and put me on r/PublicFreakout, so i can whack people over the head with a shovel for giving me a fake passport. Seems like a proportionate response tbh

(It's kinda like first person and more modern papers please)

Grateful for tiramisu. Delicious.
