Win

I recently brought my household bin in from the garden (don't ask, not the big "black bin", the human sized one), and left it by the front door, as it was a bit muddy. Then I got a flyer. Hey, those jokes about two in trays really have a point, don't they? Win.

Rcv1 recently lent me "Three seasons of angel videos, with a video player". (I decided I wanted to see Angel enough, but probably not to see it again, hence borrowing.) Video cassettes are really cumbersome, but they look lovely lined up on the shelf, and now I have a video plugged into a cable receiver plugged into a DVD player plugged into a TV. I'm sure that's not quite right, but win.

The bike fairy (university cycles) collected my bike and fixed it. Thank you. Win.

Other recent little victories include:

* Shower curtain rail. It fell down ages ago, I taped it together, and never got round to fixing it properly. However, it's quite clever inside: one rod fits inside the other, and the end of the inner is an off-centre rotating wood bit, so you simply extend them fully and twist, locking them in place.
* Mud guard. I can't remember what I fixed about it, but it must have been satisfying :)
* I made a firefox quick search to turn "lj username" into a full URL. It's amazing how often saving that little bit of typing helps your mood.
* Tesco started selling a marvellous innovation! A pesto jar wider than a spoon! :)

In my mind, something 'larger than human sized' is extraordinarily large - a human-sized house is a normal thing, whereas a 'bigger than human sized' house has (for example) 14ft high doorways and tabletops you need to jump to reach.

Your way makes more sense, but it less fun.

LOL. Well, yeah, that is about what I meant, except that instead of _extraordinarily_ large, just a little bit over-scale. The dustbin black bin probably is up to twice the side of a kitchen bin , which is what I was going for.
