My solicitors being better than the solicitors representing the opposition and getting the opposition to sign a legal document that established the position in my favour. F'ing ecstatic.

Re: Little things in life that make you smile
I know it's weird, but I've got an infected knee following a heart op a few weeks ago. My knee's so swollen, my leg looks like when a snake has just swallowed a rabbit whole. I had to go to the minor injuries clinic this arvo to get it drained. Nice.
I sat next to a feller in the waiting room, there with his beautiful little girl, 4 years old, virtually bald, arm in a sling. She was playing with the toys in the waiting room, dancing around and singing to herself in a very chirpy and very sweet way.
Her dad was telling me how brave she'd been during her chemo, but had fallen over at lunchtime and they suspected a broken arm. He was having a really hard time telling me and had a few tears. The way she ran over to give him a hug and console him was the most beautiful thing I've seen in ages. When the guy got himself together I excused myself and went outside, had a few tears of my own through a mile-wide smile.
Then the nurse stuck a knitting needle in my knee to let the splurge out. Didn't matter though.

Out with friends last night when one of the women (who is in her mid-fifties) learnt that lightening comes before thunder, then for the next two hours kept repeating this as though it was some major revelation.

Re: Little things in life that make you smile
Also mention that if you count after the lightning until the thunder, that's how many miles you are away from the storm.
I have no idea if that is factual but I always do it.

The lightning strike is as good as instantaneous, sound travels at around 5 seconds per mile at sea level.

Did not know the divide by 5! So the storm has been closer to me all these years without knowing it!
