The 10 good things meme
This one is from na_lon
I'll try to do these chronologically ...
1) Those nice people at the Inland Revenue, for sending me a tax refund - because the money will be handy (abebooks here I come!), and because it was a surprise.
2) The postman coming back later to deliver two parcels - because I had assumed that after 1), there would be no more post that day.
3) Finally getting round to going to the dry cleaners and the charity shop - because it frees up some of our spare bedroom and loft.
4) Duck pate for lunch - because it was so tasty.
5) The aforesaid dry cleaners rescuing my season ticket from my jacket pocket - now all I have to do is go in and collect it on Monday morning!
6) Listening to my new "Old Harry's Game" CD - because it's so funny, and because it was a bit of a nostalgia trip.
7) Suddenly feeling able to swim much further than I have done for weeks.
8) White wine before dinner, because it's just what I needed to relax after wrestling with a Portugese bus-ticket-booking website.
9) Braising steak for dinner - because I'm a confirmed carnivore.
10) Reading my new copy of "Engaging the Enemy", the third in the Vatta's War series by Elizabeth Moon (see 2) above) - because it's good SF, and still reminds me of Traveller.
