A question for you (an antidote -- I hope -- to the current mood of things)

What is something that made you smile, this week?

For an extra challenge, name a thing that made you smile for as many senses as you have, or can think of.



Sound: "(There Ought to be a) Moonlight Saving Time" by the High Hatters (1931); YouTube.

Sight: Pictures of the peacock pheasant

Taste: dressing shredded cabbage in Italian salad dressing (oil & vinegar based), covering and zapping in the microwave until softened (about 5 minutes in a 700-watt oven), and mixing in plain, "Greek"-style yogurt.

Touch: Petting my kitty, of course!

Smell: stirring a spoonful of natural cocoa powder into hot water before adding coffee and milk, and getting a real, good, whiff as the cocoa blooms.

Sight: The pet chicken outside of the local taqeria. 🐓

Touch: holding a coworkers squirmy puppy dog yesterday.

Taste: homemade bread 🍞

Smell: coffee that my boss bought for me

Ooh! Yum!

Ohh, I love this.

Sound: My upstairs neighbour's three-year-old howling creative remixes of the ABC song.

Sight: A shiny mankey I caught in Pokemon Go.

Taste: Genuinely a difficult choice. A tie between the landjaegers my wife brought home for me, and the kabocha mousse I treated myself to on friday. It was like the fanciest pie filling.

Touch: Fresh pyjamas after a shower, and recently-changed bedsheets. A good night.

Smell: Coming home after a long walk; just the smell of home.

Sound: "Sorry (I Ran All the Way Home)" by the Impalas, 1959, a song that was on a favourite rock'n'roll record when I was a kid and which I'd forgotten about until it popped into my head just as I was waking up. I hadn't realised until I saw the video that they were a racially integrated group.

Sight: My youngest cat, not yet a year old, doing her "croquet hoop impression" when she stretches her back into an arch and walks away in that shape before she finishes stretching!

Taste: Baked buttercup pumpkin, which is just coming into season and becoming cheaper. I like buttercups better than grey Crown pumpkins; when they bake, the flesh dries out a little and becomes crumbly and sweet, and the skins are perfectly edible.

Touch: The freshly clipped hair on the back of my head. I always get a mood boost from cutting my hair short.

Smell: Basil from my garden, smelling strong and spicy on my fingers after I've picked it.

Sound: thanks for the link!

Sight: LOL

Taste: I've not encountered buttercup pumpkin. It does sound good.

Touch: :-)

Smell: I love basil

Sound: I've often wondered why alphabetic order is what it is, and why people insist it's so important. Especially now that dictionary entries and phone directories can be stored non-sequentially.

Sight: I don't know Pokemon, but I'm glad Pokemon Go is still a thing.

Taste: Ah, a little savory, a little sweet. :-)

Touch: Mmmm...

Smell: :-)
