Whats made you happy today?
I haven't said much in this thread recently so I am going to positively about some little things...
Received an email from a clothing website giving me 15% off anything for a few days as I haven't bought anything from them for months.
I've hit 150 followers on Flickr today (obviously not for the deleted Jimmi's Random Photos photostream) which is nice and seem to be getting decent views and favourites recently on many of my photos which makes the photo taking a bit more worth while. I know most of you on Flickr have loads more followers but I am not too bothered about that now and I am fairly happy with what I've got so thanks to those who follow/view my Flickr
I've been at my mothers helping her clear out the house.
Found a load of my old bus books from 25 years ago in a box in a cupboard under the stairs.
Surrounded by old PSV Circle, DJS and TAG fleets lists along with a pile of old Tyne & Wear PTE bus timetables.

Meeting Lee and Thomas Pye at Newcastle today. Also got some VTEC and East Coast luggage tags.
Free food for helping out at an event mmm good thing I left my cash at home
The Virgin Trains East Coast staff at Newcastle, Central Station are excellent. Trains were delayed by over two hours due to a person being unfortunately struck by a train just north of Berwick. Passengers were obviously baffled as trains were being terminated at Newcastle and sent back down to London with only a couple of services heading Northbound. But, Claire, Malcolm, Jolene and other station staff were fantastic at keeping people informed and up to date.
Well done all at Central Station.

Them two plonkers who I mentioned yesterday's outing just missed the 8 in Ferryhill
I got some news earlier that 'Rail' magazine are going to be using one of my photos in the magazine!
I can't thank David Forster (Mr Fozz) enough for his kind words!
Unbeknown to me, Fozz had sent a letter to FourFourTwo magazine, a football magazine that is published worldwide regarding the JJ O'Donnell fund. Here is what he said...
Credit Due In Gateshead
When I was growing up, I was always told that football supporters are at their best when uniting behind a cause or coming together to collectively mourn when someone dies. Recent events in the North East proved it.
In May, Gateshead footballer JJ O'Donnell was told that he had a 50/50 chance of playing again after he was diagnosed with sesamoiditous, a condition that causes the toes to become inflamed and makes kicking a football excruciating.
Step forward Lee Calder and Sam Jupp, two teenage Gateshead fans who took it upon themselves to raise the money required to fund their favourite player's operation. Hoping to raise about £5,000. the total exceeded £7,000 thanks in part to a generous £2,690 donation by Sunderland striker Danny Graham, himself born in Gateshead.
JJ has had the operation and now faces a three month wait to see if he can fully recover. In the meantime, Manchester City have generously offered him the use of their facilities.
Lee and Sam's selflessness is incredible. They've really brought the North East's football community together, which is easier said than done! They're a credit to their club and the local area.
Well done, lads, what you've done is brilliant.
David Forster, Murton, Co.Durham.
As I said, I cannot thank you enough for what you have done David, and for your continued help and support throughout the fundraising.
