It definitely does.

I despise trapped gas.

Sweet orange essential oil.

No but pine in the air during petrichor (window open just-enough) is divine. Perfect for reading something, listening to jazz for a bit and having a coffee. Preferably (in my case) with oat-milk.

Also (next little thing to make me smile), Crazy Frog. Ain’t that right, Mock?

My examples -

My family
My crazy pets
Hearing the dawn chorus
Sunny days
Rain lashing on my windows at night and feeling cosy
Watching comedy
Reading a good book
Having a good chat with a mate
Spontaneous laughter and not being able to stop

For starters......

This post being the first even though it was a new thread and not Kerry’s original.

Crazy Frog definitely makes me happy.

It brings me back to when I was a kid.

Setting and honouring your boundaries. That’s another little source of joy.

Classic, innit?

What would you say are little things about summer that make you smile, by the way, Mock?

I would say so personally.

I like seeing families out and about, seemingly enjoying themselves with the sun out and about.

I don't know why exactly, but it does make me happy seeing that.

Yeah, I’m headed for a beach-party (in a group I’m in) for the day next week. I’m sure there’ll be lots of family out and about. Either way, it’s my nephew’s 1st birthday at the end of his month and lots of families are gonna come and celebrate with him, so that’s a peppy family thing for me to be directly involved in this summer. It’s heartwarming; really is. He’s so cute.

That's great to hear.

I hope that you all have a good time.

We’re going to meet in Manchester and then make our way to where we’re going, stopping at north Wales (including Llandudno). Music, dance (not for me; I couldn’t dance to save a baby’s life), food, drink, scenic views anlong the way and just overall vibes. Should be fun, if a little compact (there’s over 30 of us going).

Another little thing: crescent-roll garlic bread.

Street Sesh, Hot Dog Bush and Skywire. Classic games. Especially for someone like me, who’s never owned an XBox, Game-cube, PlayStation or anything-else like that (personal preference). Computer-games can be their own special enclave.

Well the Football has returned, so it brings more of a community feel around where I live.

When the life of someone with atypical depression or severe social anxiety is drastically changed by phenelzine.

I can understand that. Me, I’m not a big footie person (despite hailing from Liverpool and having distant family-members who have played professional football in various capacities), but I understand the attraction.

Tbh I would imagine that the constant Football discussions would be annoying if I weren't a fan.
