My kitten squeeping (that’s the only way to describe his high pitched mew) at me to be let out. Makes me go all mushy.
Going to the theatre, and having a wonderful time. OK, well, its not random, but hey.
Having your supervisor tell you that she thinks your work is brilliant. 
New tricks from my daughter - she’s almost 17 months so there’s something new every day. Unfortunately, yesterday’s was repeating her best approximation of “shite” about a million times after I said it when I couldn’t get her vest over her head.
She’s also showing signs of overcoming her genetic heritage and being useful at football - it’s even possible that unlike me and Angua, she won’t be stuck in goal;).
Aaawww… that’s so sweet.
Hey! I like being stuck in goal. 
A friend of mine made it a point to tell me just how nice she thought I was in regards to a certain situation. She said, " Something as special as that shouldn’t go unoticed."
It had to do with something I did for a mutual friend that I thought was a secret. Not subterfuge or anything, just a private matter that I could do something about, so I did. I truly thought no more about it until the lady in the first paragraph mentioned it.
No, no details, but it really made feel good about the human condition in general. I hope I don’t get a reputation.
I ordered a mocha this morning. They gave me free whipped cream.
Random, but nice.
It was a nice sunny, breezy day in town today (20C = 68F), which never fails to put a smile on my face. The weekend should be fine too.
Summer is near and I could laugh with the sheer joy of it.
My son smiling at me and holding my hand all the way to class. We have some behaviour issues we’re working on and usually if he’s in a happy relaxed mood he’ll have a good day.
Waking up to a puppy kissing you instead of a horrible alarm clock.
Coming to work and one of the guys has fetched you coffee for no reason.
Finding funny emails to greet me in the morning.
Seeing a [url=http://www.furniture-4kids.com/byebyebuggy.html bye bye buggy with the mandetory sleeping kid with their oversized infant head hanging uncomfortably to one side. You never see a kid crying on those things. They always make me smile.
bye bye buggy. (bad coding can ruin your day)
Getting that complicated bit of string manipulation right, the first time.
Blowing dry my hair upside down and watching my kitty play with the hair strands flying around.
Breaking the rules and eating ice cream with chocolate syrup in the living room while watching Willow with my son.
Making my wife laugh. Not a giggle or a “Ha! Yeah!” kind of thing, but one of those deep down, kind-of-too-loud-for-public, straight from the belly laughs.
I keep her laughing a lot, but it’s hard to get one of those unexpected blasts of hilarity. I love when that happens. Makes me feel like I did something right that day.
There’s a bush on my walk to work that’s just turned a deep, brilliant scarlet. It contrasts beautifully with the gray October sky and makes me much happier about going to work. On the same note, walking under trees that go brilliant lemon yellow in the fall, and looking up at the blue sky. It’s like walking through solid sunshine.
My husband putting the kettle on for me before he leaves for work.
Night walks through the fallen leaves down by the lake with my husband or good friends. Stopping to sit on the rocks and talking for hours about things that we’re mostly too shy to talk about in daylight.
A particularly beautiful phrase in a poem, like something in me understands/the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses.
Lots of things, now that I think about it.
Of late, my schedule has been wake up - homework - class - homework - class- homework, homework, homework - sleep, and any meals have been indifferent items chosen on how quickly I could acquire and eat them while reading class materials. So last night I wedged some time against all odds into the schedule and cooked dinner for some friends and myself. It was such a lifesaver.
Hearing Francesca say: “SHE GETS ON MY TITS!” and “Bumface!”
That always makes my day. Makes me laugh a lot.
Finally finishing putting up a display about the Group’s outreach activities that’s taken me most of the day to sort out. Then, having the head of Group come out of his office to see the display, and telling you how good it is.
I thought I had drank the last Diet in my office fridge, but when I checked this afternoon, there was another one in there!
The other day I practiced a new technique in the lab, and the prof came up and watched for a minute (and consequently made me nervous). Then she asked if I had done it before - and I hadn’t
I’m also lucky enough to have a guy who’s memorized my schedule and likes to pop up where I am on campus during the day. The fact that I have someone so thoughtful always, always makes my day.
Winning the lotto.
Antiochus,Dr Jackson we don’t call a uniform a uni in Australia. A uni is a university. It took a while to parse your posts 
I’m sure if i were on my uni soccer team I’d enjoy having my new gear… But I still don’t know what a strip is in this context.
Recent things that make my day:
Yesterday we got our new music for choir, Britten’s Ceremony of Carols. Yay! Revisiting a favourite piece i haven’t sung in years.
And the mint I planted that looked sick on the weekend is now looking all healthy and the fig tree has put out a leaf, it’s no longer a tiny bare stick in the ground.
And my weight hit a new low point.
And my fuzzy little pink-nosed cat came and slept right next to my pillow, without meowing to wake me up at 6am. I just woke up and there he was. Awww.
