Light hearted - it is nice to be nice - isn't it? What has happened to you day that meets this question?

Went to visit my Dd and 3 DGC after school today. Havnt seem them for a few days as I've been looking after my DM. The youngest 18 mth old ran as fast her little legs would go towards me with arms open wide shouting, " Nanny, I wuff you "! ? melted my heart .

Neighbour dropped in to say that of course she could drive us to my husband's hospital appointment on the 18th as long as we don't mind getting there on the early side, as she has to be at work at 10 a.m.

We don't mind at all being early for an appointment at 9.15 as the alternative means being even earlier- catching the bus at 7.25 to be sure of being at the hospital for 9.15!

While shopping I almost bumped into a young man who was coming out of a shop. I apologised and was really chuffed when he said 'Not a problem at all, gorgeous!' Considering I am recovering from the awful virus thing and feel like death warmed up, it made me feel loads better.

Another lovely "chance encounter" for me yesterday - I peered over the shoulders of two men who were sorting their bit of the shelf display in Tesco, to get to our usual brand of coffee. It transpired they're from a small local company ("10 men and a dog") and I came away with a free tin of their coffee to try, and a business card to contact them with a review .

Went to get my hair cut today and spotted a hairbrush on the shelf in front of the mirror. I asked Judith where she got it from because I have been searching for one like for years. She told me it was from a shop just outside the indoor market, about 1 minute away, but that sometimes they were not in stock. Rushed there and bought one, then decided to get another just in case. Really made my day.

I came home to find a note from the postman. It said "parcels in shed". He had gone to the trouble of opening our back gate, walking over soggy grass, and putting them into the shed. They were birthday gifts for my granddaughter so we are so glad he took the trouble.

Lidl here are having a British week selling British food. Unbeknown to me, while I was having my nails manicured, my husband drove 20km to our nearest Lidl and brought back bacon, cheddar, smoked cheddar, Stilton and Wensleydale cheeses. We are following a low carb high fat diet so it was a lovely surprise.

One of the buses I use serves the university and I've often grumbled about having to stand with my shopping bags or shopping trolley because seats are taken up with the students' luggage (huge suitcases + rucksacks). Well, this afternoon a lovely foreign student with a suitcase and rucksack immediately gave me his seat.

I’v Just had a lovely message from a friend. It was about a nativity scene my Dad made for her many years ago. She was telling me that her children still enjoy the tradition of putting it out each year and always remember my parents with much love. It actually made me cry but in a nice way.

You have all added some cheer to my day to, some lovely anecdotes of giving and receiving small kindnesses.

Visited my Homestart family after a gap of 5 weeks due to their illness and the little twins smiled and ran towards me. I thought they might have forgotten me.

Whilst having lunch in a cafe today, a toddler, sitting in a high chair surrounded by her family at the table next to me, suddenly grabbed her Mothers' iPhone and threw it across the VERY hard wooden floor. You can imagine what it did to it.
I think that the little girl had got fed up trying to get her Mum's attention, and just reacted. The Mum however was not the least bit phased as the "screen was cracked anyway".
Sorry if I sound awful, but I had to smile to myself.
That little girl made me smile a second time. As she was being wheeled out in her pushchair, I smiled and waggled my fingers to say goodbye. She smiled and waggled her fingers back too.
Made me feel all fuzzy inside.

Phone call from DS and DGS! Brightened my day!

Coffee with my Meet Up group, very lively then quick visit to see my lovely DD & DGS2, he's 8 months old, trying to crawl & has a lovely smile. Came home with a smile on my face.

Had doors held open for me both going into and coming out of the bank this morning, and both gentlemen gave me nice smiles too. Brightened my day as it's not always like that where I live.

...my eldest grandson,almost 18,saying "love you grandma" ?

My daughter’s partner had today off work and instead of going out and enjoying himself, he’s spent the day fixing little bits and pieces for me. And I didn’t have to ask!

I got three big smiles and a friendly “good morning’’ from strangers this morning.

We had a Northumberland meet up this morning. It was Plainjaney (our local organiser) and granjan15 and me. It was pretty chilly in the local Wyevale garden centre but we smiled at each other's grandchild photos and had a good laugh at each other's stories. A good way to spend a morning and the next meet up is in the pipeline so we have that to look forward to. ?

I've been looking after my friend with Alzheimers this morning. It makes me realise how very lucky I am. She used to be the most lively of our little gang and now she is a mere shadow.

Lemon you seem to live somewhere like me, we take it for granted that everyone will be nice and pleasant in our small town. However, we never forget how fortunate we are to live in such a kind and friendly place.

OP, we would notice if another driver didn't do the courteous thing because they all do round here. When I leave the house to drive down the steep hill with cars parked on my side of the road, leaving space for only one car it is almost inevitable that the person at the bottom of the road will flash for me to go first. Seems to be a point of honour here to be the one giving way.

Someone just asked me to help them across the road! It must have been the pink hat and scarf .....

We went for a walk along the canal towpath at the back of our house. We saw a heron patiently waiting to catch his lunch and then a barge chugged by and the folks on it waved to us. Best of all we are collecting our granddaughter from school today

Yesterday, the members of our creative writing group remarked on how well I was looking. That almost dispelled my splitting headache!
