The best thing that happened today was dancing around a kitchen with the grrl who I used to share many a dance with. It was good to have her back. Like old times!

The best thing that happened today was finding and playing ginger beard top trumps. Sometimes it's the small stupid things... What can I say; I'm easily pleased!

The best thing that happened today was having the time to process all the high points of my weekend; the wonderful friends I have, the wonderful times we have together, all the new people I met, and compliments on my work I received, all the people who gave great hugs, feeling confident travelling in London, all the proper heartfelt giggling and broad smiling that happened, and the pure feelings of contentment that surfaced and resurfaced in waves throughout the weekend. *Swoon* :)

The best thing that happened today was receiving an email from somebody that I admire greatly. She was responding to a set of interview questions that I had sent her for the upcoming fifth issue of Colouring Outside The Lines; It felt like I was reading a letter from an old friend, full of humour and love and insight. She lives, quite literally, on the other side of the world, but in reading her words it felt like she was in fact sat next to me, chewing my ear off with gossip and smart conversation.
Damn, sometimes I love what I get to do!

The best thing that happened today was gardening related again. I finished work earlier than usual, so had an hour of extra daylight to spend in the garden, excavating compost from the bottom of the compost bin to plant daffodils in for this spring. (I left them a bit late, and they started sprouting through the net bag in the hallway, so I hope I've planted them in time.) I enjoyed being in the garden so much that I'm thinking of trying to arrange my flexi hours so I can finish an hour earlier early every Wednesday, cos there's still leaves to rake, compost to prepare, raised beds to build, all before spring when I can actually start growing vegetables again...

The best thing that happened today was sitting on the floor of my kitchen, making apricot wine, listening to the pixies on the radio. Homemade chocolate mousse that my housemate Kate had saved for me wasn't bad either!

The best thing that happened today was getting home from work early, and therefore having enough daylight left to install the new compost bin in the back garden before it got dark.
