#MicroblogMondays: Annoying things & small pleasures

Annoying things: 

• Pollen dust all over the end table closest to the open balcony door (no wonder we've both been sneezing lately...!). 
• Balcony doors that desperately need washing. 
• Trying a new takeout soup for lunch that sounded good in the description, but was a lot spicier than I anticipated.  
• A flimsy bedskirt that's ripping at the seams and dragging on the floor. 
• Knowing that either mending it or buying a new one will require lifting our bulky, heavy mattress..! 
• Not being able to think of something more original/clever for a #MM post...! 

Small pleasures: 

• Anticipating a quieter week ahead than the past few have been. (Knocking wood, of course...!) 
• Carving out a little more time to read books lately. 
• Cashing in some of my Kobo Super Points to download a few more (lol).  
• A run of good hair days lately (since my most recent haircut). 
• Enjoying white teeth again, minus tea stains, thanks to the work of my excellent new dental hygienist. 
• New T-shirts in summery colours delivered to my door from Lucky Brand Canada to brighten up the day. 
• A freshly scrubbed shower cubicle!  (Annoying thing:  aches & pains afterwards...!  lol)  
• Being able to leave the balcony door wide open all day long. (Mild temperatures, no humidity!)(Yet...?!)
