Just got to get the JOY inside

before it rains.
It's been drying out there for ages.

Mmmm
press your nose into it. It smells like all the trees and leaves and grass and birds- the breeze from tomorrow and the neighbours bonfire.

Today was a kind of great day.
I had pie *and* soup for lunch and gave myself a good talking to (affairs of the heart). I realised I have been thinking about someone too much- and I hardly even know them. It kind of cracked open, an egg on the head, and made me feel a bit silly...but also made me realise how far I've come (in being good to myself).

So...
I calmed down a bit and got hungry and danced around, did some time at the bookshop and found some places to go and view in London tomorrow. Big joy...one has a dog & a cat and looks out onto a park...
I also had good news on the ship shape front- there might be a bigger cabin for rent, so I am going to be hearing news of that soon. Here's to hope.

Reading a book at the moment, I'm not sure about it... The comfort of Saturdays by Alexander McCall Smith...quite sweet.
That's as far as that goes.

Er

my brain is pickled.

I had a tea today...
it meshed with my stomach and made me happy. What a spring in my step.
I might give up giving up caffeine.

My boss gave me my Christmas presents today (wowO)...so sweet. Amongst an array of chocolates (all sorts and shapes and sizes- including chocolate coffee beans for when I need a whoosh whip) were phoenix picturehouse cinema vouchers!
What a completely swell gift!
I can now take myself on either
* two cinema dates
*or a cinema date with myself and someone else

Let's wait and see.

The cat is snoring.
I should go to bed. It's been long
long

long

today.

I'm all out of anything remotely interesting to say...
I'm just glad I'm going to be less of a fool from now on
(this will last a week MAX)

Love
on
high
