The best thing that happened today was having a guilty-pleasures CD listening marathon. Well, guilty pleasures and long-forgotten gems. Ben Folds' single 'Rocking The Suburbs' at full blast is such a simple pleasure that I'd long forgotten!

The best thing that happened today was sleeping in til 5.30pm -- catching up on all the crazy lost sleep caused by stupid-early mornings, drainingly long days, and stressful responsibility on my work trip to Brussels that I returned from late last night.
I swear, my own bed is my favourite place to be in the entire world!

The best thing that happened today has already happened, and it's only 10.50am! I just got an email from a French musician called Milkymee (http://www.myspace.com/milkymee) telling me that she's written a song inspired by my zine, and it's on her new album...!!!
Milkymee/Emi wrote, 'Hello! I m a french musician called Milkymee and I wrote a song called "Colouring outside the lines". It was inspired by your zine. And it's a love song!' How bloody lovely is that!? She also wants to meet up with me while she's visiting the UK, but the dates and locations are all wrong.
I'm feeling so flattered this morning. Some people are just *too* nice and entirely too good to me. It's sure given me the burst & push of energy I needed though to try and push forward with the new COTL project I'm working on.

The best thing that happened today was realising what great friends I have - friends who are supportive and wonderful and give a shit. I'm so grateful for them and proud of them xxx

The best thing that happened today was finding my way - [via a lost 20 mins in Barnsley] - to see a good friend for good times and good chats. Sometimes putting in the extra effort to actually get myself somewhere new totally pays off when that energy is replenished by conversation and friendship that fuels my heart and mind.

The best thing that happened today was a 45 minute phonecall from the only person who knows me well enough to know exactly what to say to make me snort with laughter! Proper snorts!! Oh, and in-jokes from about 4 or 5 years ago will *never* grow old!!
