Sources of happiness


What I want to get excited about on a Wednesday night:
A good TV show/DVD/book
Going out with friends/husband (less children)
Opening the parcel that came in the mail
Having a quiet drink (tea or otherwise) on the deck

What I actually get excited about on a Wednesday night:
Cracking open the new vacuum cleaner. (and cleaning the kitchen)

I'm really not sure as to whether I should say any more.
We bought it when we were exhausted and at the end of our tether, right after we moved in.
It is an upright - most vacuums in the USA appear to be upright. My previous experiences with uprights are not happy ones.
I procrastinated over opening it and discovering that we had spent money on some awful thing I was going to have to put up with for the next two years. But this vacuum cleaner is great! Our kitchen was getting feral, so I got brave, and wow!
It is so intricately designed, the bibs and bobs all go together so precisely and easily, and we even bought a super duper pet hair head and some sort of dry duster attachment without knowing. I am so impressed with the design, I would happily give the designer a sticker (we have plenty).
ps - you can't see in this photo, but it is called a 'Shark'. I really don't know what the marketers were aiming at with that name.
