My colleague told me about a group of tourists who were attacked by someone in the street outside his house at 3am. Unfortunately (for the attacker) they were on tour with their rugby team and were not easily scared. A few minutes later the police arrested the would-be mugger, after he'd had his broken nose seen to by an ambulance crew. I don't think the tourists were even spoken to by the police and they received a cheer from the residents of the surrounding flats who'd all been woken by the commotion! As for what makes me happy - holidays, not necessarily going anywhere, just having time off with my boyfriend (who's a casualty doctor and seems to work all the time) and being able to relax. Also spring and the first day I can sit outside on the terrace in the sun after the seemingly endless winter - I think that's one of the happiest days of the year!
