A good giggle is such a tonic.
Yesterday, I had two good giggles.
The first was during my stint at the charity shop.
A customer stood at the table outside looking at the items displayed
chuckling away quietly to himself.
He'd obviously found something very funny.
I was intrigued.
He was looking at a tin of purple paint.
An open half empty tin of sticky purple paint
with a paintbrush stuck in it.
We'd found it left on the shop doorstep last week.
A customer even complained about it being there.
We were somewhat annoyed about it.
What I didn't realise was
the manageress had put a label on it
which read,
" Donation of the week "
and that's what the customer found so funny.
I started to giggle & couldn't stop.
It was a nice moment
and I told him he'd made my day.
He went inside the shop
and I heard him telling his wife about it
still chuckling away.
Later Jess & I were in the lounge deciding what film to watch.
We could hear Joe & husband in the kitchen
having a discussion about the washing up
which Joe was supposed to be doing
but was obviously doing badly.
They are both very good natured & laid back
so the conversation Jess & I overheard was very amusing.
We chose to watch
we all watched it,
the first time in ages
we have all watched a film together on a Saturday night.
It was very silly & very funny
and for the second time that day,
I couldn't stop giggling.


Ah laughter is such a wonderful tonic isn't it!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a good case of the giggles at work in a long time. I wonder if I have a can of open, have used paint....
ReplyDeleteI love a good giggle. I have a bit of a thing for Vince Vaughan! xxxx
ReplyDeleteSome say laughter is better than sex :-)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly works like a tonic for sure so make sure you get lots....laughter that is of course :-)
Hugs,

excellent....love Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughan!!
ReplyDeleteLove the charity shop story - makes you wonder what thought processes someone goes through to donate something like that!! We've had some real shockers - best was a length of oily rope!
ReplyDeleteSometimes giggles turn up at just the right time. Enjoy the rest of the weekend Penny. Jx
ReplyDeleteObviously a real feel good day. And all the family feeling good too. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you've been enjoying some giggles ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure some people see charity shops as an alternative to the rubbish dump - as far as they're concerned the rubbish is out of their way, job done.
Ben Stiller is ALWAYS worth watching :D
xxxx
nothing like a good giggle for raising the spirits is there.
ReplyDeletePenny, do you drive? perhaps we could meet up for a coffee or something when Jess goes?

A family that laughs together, stays together. We have the same problems here with people dumping their rubbish at the op - shops. It really eats into the available money the charity has as they have to pay to get rid of it.
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear you've had some giggles.
ReplyDeleteHugs xx
Having a good giggle is sometimes the best cure.
