I found out that I'm 43rd in line for the new Reacher book, so I just ordered it on Amazon instead. Can't wait. Nearly splashed out for 1st class post before coming to my frugal senses.

The flat is very cold. I found my fan heater though, so I am making one side of my body toasty warm, which unfortunately accentuates the coldness of the other side.

I have watched all of s1 of Party Down, and am halfway through the second, and I really really love it. They are at a party with Steve Guttenberg! I like Steve Guttenberg.

I am going to an event all day tomorrow, and so I don't need to be there until 10am. Lie-in! I have to go to a lecture in the evening, but that will be added to flexi time, so I'll be several hours in advance, oh yes. Wine and canapes on work time!

I found an aerial skills class, so I'll be doing that next month. Trapeze, silks and rope. It is on a Friday so at least I'll be able to recover the use of my arms over the weekend.

What small things are happening to you that are pleasing?

Oh, I really thought you were going to say 'for the throne' there. Still, I suppose we're all 43rd in line for the throne when you think about it.

Aerial skills sounds fun. Maybe practice holding your arms above your head for a while. Makes them potent. Or something.

Small pleasing things. I had a welsh-cake today. That was nice. For irritating reasons I'm currently allowing myself only one cake-like or otherwise pleasant thing per week, and that was it. Except I have two more welsh-cakes in the breadbin. I probably shan't stick to my arbitrary rule.

Oh my goodness. I was slightly envious about the wine and canapes on work time, but aerial skills sounds fantastic! Can you be my mentor or something?

I did have a small, pleasing event today. One of the students came up to me after a (mostly crap) class and asked if I'd spent some time in England because of my accent.

OH, I love the Steve Guttenberg episode of Party Down. I also love the one with JK Simmons but I IMAGINE that probably that one just made you cry a lot.

Aerial skills class sounds awesome! And I am quite jealous of your lie in. I had a shower tonight and I am menstruating. Both of these things have made my life better.

Small pleasures

Apart from the getting up and having a sauna followed by a cold plunge as the beginning of another day of spa indulgence...? The delicious muesli with yoghurt and fresh berries served for breakfast.

I am more jealous of you than I can express. I wish my evening lectures were added to flexi time and/or that I was better at clawing back the HOURS OF MY LIFE that they eat from the soulless institution which demands them.
