  1. My travel test result came back and I’m reassuringly COVID negative, as expected.
  2. Sleeper trains are neat and gave me an extra evening in Scotland!
  3. Returning to a favourite fandom and finding it filled with tons of new fanfics! I’m not quite sure the cause of this revival for a show that hasn’t aired in 10 years but it sure brought me a lot of joy today.

  1. Dates and cheese. Sultanas and butter. Both pairings go so well together.
  2. My kitchen window looks out into my garden and the park behind my house. From the right angle I can see nothing but trees.
  3. I was able to take most of the day off work to rest because I have a sore neck that is better when I’m lying down.

  1. My dad’s not the world’s most emotionally intelligent person, but today he texted me to check if I was okay after I rang him upset about something last night.
  2. I went for a walk quite early this morning (8:45am – early for me, anyway!) and it was still cool out, so it was very nice.
  3. It’d a bright sunny day without being too warm.

  1. I just caught and released an insect with… pretty much no terror at all. Definitely “ugh, ugh, please don’t be a stinging sort of fella”, and definitely “nope, my lad, not in here”, but not “oh my god I am going to die just knowing it is briefly in the building with me”. So, yay for my recently-found ability to cope.
  2. Started reading a book I’ve meant to read for a while, and immediately got sucked in.
  3. Watching Lisa’s reactions as they read the Kate Daniels books.

  1. This morning my favourite scrub turkey, Princess, was sitting in the back garden looking comfortable and safe.
  2. A few hours later when I say at my desk, she had moved to the front garden where I could see her through the window.
  3. This tweet from KJ Charles: “There is no medium to convey instructions more exasperating than a video tutorial. Give it to me in cuneiform on wet clay, tattoo it on the underside of a live wild boar, encode it into a copy of a Dan Brown novel if you must, but for fuck’s sake don’t make me watch a video.” :smiley:
