Good things for the last week

Regular readers (all four of you) may have noticed that I’ve been strangely absent for the past 12 days. This is because my computer died on Wednesday 23 October. I got it straight into the shop and by some miracle it was fixed for a very reasonable price and now works again. So now I’m back, although possibly not as often as in the past, as the blog is taking me away from my other writing a bit much. But I will endeavour to post regularly. Here, as usual on Monday, are the good things that happened to me in the past week.

• My computer works again – yay! Now I can email, write documents, blog, pay bills, order medicine and all that other good stuff
• The new dog is getting on incredibly well with my first dog despite being years older, and they are playing and running together like they are both puppies
• The rain stopped for a whole day on Saturday and I finally was able to take some local kids out to a small farm to see the sheep and cattle, as they’d been begging me to for weeks
• I had a great lunch with a local friend I haven’t seen for ages and a good goss
• Spaghetti Bolognese on a cold day – absolute comfort food
• Asparagus is in season and it’s as delicious as usual
• A day to myself on Sunday when I could sleep and read my trashy escapist novel (in between taking the dogs out in the pouring rain to run – them, not me!)
• New library books and DVDs to enjoy
• Watching Clerks 11 – profane, disgusting, tasteless, foul mouthed and incredibly funny. The surreal dance number to ‘1 2 3, it’s easy as A B C’ was one of the highlights. Clerks the Musical anyone? Gotta beat Mamma Mia any day!
