The pleasure gained from caring for and learning from my youngest granddaughter and then sending her home after a very exhausting day.

Finding verse parodies by accident and giggling uncontrollably in public. There are about a dozen of them, you'll know some no doubt.

Pouring the sugar out of a Sainsbury's sugar bag This was unexpected. You know how a conventional 1kg bag of sugar is folded at the bottom and glued closed? So that there's always a last few annoying grains that hide under the paper flaps and won't come out? Well the Sainsbury's bag had a crimped closure, like the bottom of a crisp packet. Nowhere for those last few grains to lurk in hiding, so they all came out. Yay. +1 for a tiny refinement in modern packaging.
