Another happy song

One of my faves...I couldn't find an "official" clip for this one, so here's a live version.

Another happy thing

Whoever clicked on the "chickens" response in the 'Dad's pants' post just cracked me up. Bless ya!

Happy "ectoplasm"

This photo made me laugh this morning... from a set on Flickr. Back in the early 20th century, there were many seances arranged and attempts to contact the spirits of loved ones....photos were taken and probably doctored to be extra spooky. The photo caption reads: "The medium was Mrs. Mary Marshall. She was attempting to channel Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, whose face was beginning to appear in this photo. Doyle was a big believer in Spiritualism."
The combination of her facial expression, the Santa beard like ectoplasm, and the little face make this photo priceless!

I'm trying to squeeze in as much happy as I can today!

Happy pants

And it's almost goodbye to the week of happy @ Mikes.

Happy stuff on couch

A pic I took on Saturday night, happy things on my couch. My ye olde ipod, some fab new zines and badges from Sticky, and my new fave thing, my "new" 2nd hand laptop which HP revived for me. Hurrah!

Happy week at Mikes.

Happy recipe

This is my sorta recipe.

Mikes is a happy place.

Happy Enz

A fave song from one of the best albums of '82. Someone should do a ripper cover version of this.

Happy apologies

more animals

I know it's all been songs and lolcats around here lately, I'm sorry. I'll try to get back to writing something soon.

This one made me think of Cathy:

Happy things at Mikes.

This is... a favourite quote

Further to my previous post, I thought this quote was lovely:

“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”
~Eskimo proverb

This is at Angela's place.

Happy at Mikes.

Happy things today

A couple worthy of mention :
- HP singing 'Bowies in Space' to me while playing his guitar
- reading 'The Friday Night Knitting Club' which Ms Curly Pops kindly lent to me...I'm half way through
Rest of the day in and out of tears due to bad news, but I won't dwell on that here.
Trying to be happy.



{the Ween clip is just a fave song - Its gonna be alright - which HP was also playing today...the lyrics aren't relevant to this post though}

Happy cat

more animals

More happy here.

Happy aeroplanes over the sea

As some people may know this song is one of my faves ever. I was trawling you tube to try and find a decent cover, but not many of them really do it for me. However, this one deserves an honourable mention as the Swedish boy is so damn adorable!

Lyrics:
"What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all around the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly
From the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

What a curious life
We have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now, how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through your mouth
To make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all around the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe
How strange it is to be anything at all."

I decided to also post this one because this guy makes me nearly wet myself every time I watch it. I think it's the "licorice" part that gets me. Enjoy, hopefully.

Happy Friday fun

Continuing the week of happy, I had happy fun with Team Hokey Pops. A most excellent description here.

Blokes with guitars make me happy

Sashiko happy

Yep, Sharon was right, after a visit to Kimono House today, and an hour on the train stitching, I'm loving sashiko. Simple, elegant, satisfying, and pretty. I bought this kit to stitch:

I'm doing the background in variegated blue/green swirls with red fish. Yay!

Happy Splits

Ben Lee makes me happy

I love this song, I love this clip.

Happy smellies

Vintage magazines make me happy.
Fabulous illustration work make me happy.
Bourjois cosmetics make me happy (such good stuff!)
Playing with girlie smelly requisites* makes me happy.
An evening in Paris would make me happy too, but that's not going to happen any time soon!

* "requisit-t-t-teeets" a la Michael Palin (he makes me happy too.)

A Week of Happy at Mikes is also happy.

Peanuts happy

Found via this great blog.

More happy at Mikes.

Snot block happy

Tea and snot blocks = happy. I'm sure they're not as yum as country bakery ones, but for elevenses at work, it's all good.

A week of happy things here.
