When the coins in your wallet add up to the exact price you're trying to pay.

That and when the cashless society brigade get f***ed over when a card machine fails.

Or when the register rings up an exact dollar amount (we don’t get sale tax added until the register rings it up in the U.S., stupid).

Kicking/heading/catching a ball booted into the crowd during a game.

I have been going to football for over 50 years and not once have I caught/kicked/headed the ball when it is booted into the crowd.

That moment when you have squeezed out a stabby (a skelf if you must) from your finger. All the better if a pin has been deployed for howking purposes as part of the operation.

I claim an assist for that. Ball in to the terrace, cushioned return, right to the thrower, long throw, goal!

I was holding a pie too.

At Ayr, walking back to my spot behind the goal with my Bovril during the warm up, a ball came flying over the crossbar and into the terracing. I caught it full on the volley and put it back neatly through a gap in the metalwork under the roof. Didn't even spill my Bovril.

 

No one noticed and no one cared.

Despite the sore muscles I do love the stretch you get from waking up after doing a long  Munro walk day before, it's a strange feeling of being goosed and refreshed at same time from an awesome sleep.

Anytime a random dog comes over to say hi to you is another.

I'm not sure I would consider these "Little Things".

If I had done them, they'd definitely be on the shortlist for things I'd want written about in my obituary

It was stars aligning. At Kilsyth, the only one near the ball and it hit the edge of a terracing step in front of me and sat up perfectly.

Once punched the ball away. Pure fluke as I was just putting my hand up to run it through my hair.

Oh would also like to add catching something that's fallen out of a cupboard/fridge when opening it. There's every chance if you didn't it would have smashed to f**k and pissed you off for the day.

That mid-whizz surprise moment of "I forgot I had asparagus for dinner earlier".

Soft touch with the foot surely beats a catch?
