What made me happy today...

[ComaChameleon]

Hey guys.

In one of my old forums I was a member of (not existing anymore since this year), we had a thread where everybody just told in short what made them happy this day. Thought it would be nice for here too!

To start: I'm working for EMS and my first call today was am expected birth. So we hoped we would be able to bring her into hospital just in time. But it didn't work. I was at the patient and she just said "it's coming"... My team-mate was driving REALLY fast, it took him about an kilometer to brake - during that time the baby was just born. Even we were a really young team and not long into job, we did VERY well and even the doctors told us we did excellent.

(Our last call was a reanimation on the street, the woman did not get an own circulation again.... But I guess that's the circle of life :D)

Yes I've just watched Sky News and seen how bad it is in the Midlands. And only the other day they were talking about possible water restrictions due to lack of rainfall. It always seems to happen that the minute they speak about lack of rainfall, the heavens open and it pees down. 

I feel for all those poor people affected by the flooding. It's a nasty business to lose everything you've built up over the years to make your home a home. The clearing up will take days and cost a fortune.

The awful thing about many of those people is they had just got their houses redecorated and bought new furniture again after the last terrible floods 2 years ago

Blimey, I clearly missed that bit @Cleoriff. That definitely makes it more painful, never mind more expensive. I mean, will their insurance cover a second claim for water damage within 2 years? I just wonder, knowing how some insurance companies are not keen on paying out on claims

Saw a duckling about 3/4 way to maturity today

They usually get drowned & eaten by nasty pike fish in the canal

The one I saw, with its' mummy duck, is too big for them to destroy

@ComaChameleon I couldn't find a current video on Youtube, but this one shows the general gist of the Gloucester Cheese Rolling race down Cooper's Hill on the May bank holiday (last weekend in May):
