What made you smile recently (2024)?

I got a reel from Instagram. It was about a couple of slightly portly, middle-aged ladies who'd got locked out, and one of them was trying to get into the house through the skylight window. The other was supposed to give her a leg up, which she did, but the results were... well, my wife & I just laughed for 10 minutes.
Yes, that clip is everywhere at the moment, it is comedy perfection.

The sun reflection on the water, very strong so early in the year, gorgeous sunshine, kids training even on a Sunday morning, joggers jogg, and being able to take a morning walk in nature.
 
No, but I’ll tell you, MrsT gets proposed itineraries like that from first-time UK/Europe visitors all the time:

“Yeah, so we want to go for four days/three nights, and we thought the first day, we’d do London, then take the Eurostar to Paris for the second day (there and back in the same day), then to Edinburgh on the third day (there and back same day again), and then fly home the next morning. How much would that cost?”

Well, your sanity, for a start.

Most people, once she explains how that’s not feasible, will fall in line, but she does get a few hard-heads who insist they (who’ve never been out of the country before) know more than my wife (a travel agent with nearly 30 years experience, who has also lived in the UK and has traveled there and to Europe extensively).

She’s wishes those people the best of luck and declines their business, because she knows they’ll get there, freak out when they realize that they can’t do all that, and blame her.

Another good one is “We want to go to Hawaii for 10 days, five of us, we’d like a 4-star or better hotel, we want to scuba-dive, have a volcano jeep tour, and take island hopper tours to the other islands.”

“Great! What kind of budget are you working with.”

“Three thousand dollars.”

“Ok…that’ll get you coach airfare…for two of you…maybe…”
 
Love this one.
Particularly because my son when younger had a habit of making up a words meaning according to the sound. He thought an ottoman was a type of motorbike 😂

He also thought until his quote late teens (due to the way the word was spoken in dramas) thought that a brothel was something to do with the church 🤣😂🤣😂
