Buying spring bulbs in Lowes today and also getting 3 pots of pansies that were reduced to $1 each, but should have been $13 each 
A bit of deadheading and tlc should bring them back to loveliness for a few weeks until the cold nights overcome them.

Full refund from hire car company because I reserved and paid for a Clio "or similar" and they provided a workmen's van. Wrote a sarcastic spot-the-difference letter, got a grovelling apology and aforesaid full refund. Result

Migrants trying to get to the UK from Calais got a bit of a shock when they juped in the back of a lorry, only to find that it was already occupied...

A couple of pairs of ducks often fly in, have a swim in the pool and a walk about then fly off. Today one of the pairs turned up with 7 babies 
Mum and Dad sat in the shade for 10 minutes whilst the babies had a little wander and peck at the ground, then they all waddled off again.

Google have just matched all donations to our school district for August-December, up to $400k. As we've just had to donate for the upcoming Yosemite school trip, they'll match all that for starters
I love living in Google Town, they really stump up a lot of cash and equipment for the school district and community. I know they get tax breaks for it, but it's still rather fab. We're rather lucky, I don't think Apple put anything into their community in Cupertino.
