Surely something good happened to you today

Pretty unproductive for me, really, but I guess I had time for some needed introspection. And I was again reminded why I absolutely love the manga series Berserk.

 

I watched the first two parts of Childhoods End. I read the book over twenty years ago and remember almost none of it.

 

I got a postcard in the mail from an old friend who lives far away.

 

my migraine stopped all by itself - no meds needed this time. YAY! =)

 

Work cancelled due to inclement weather = day of uninterrupted internet!

 

I can walk!

AND DRIVE!!!

And wear normal socks and shoes!

Woohoo!

 

I am happy for you!

 

First time I buy a cake in a pastry shop that I've been told nice things about and it's delicious!!! Life is good!

 

Signed up for local milk delivery from nearby dairy.

I’ve had home made bread everyday this week and now I’m buying milk from cows I can see from the window. Take that, faceless global corporations!

 

That's what I do exactly! I buy my milk from a small dairy farm close by. I no longer can stand the milk from anywhere else!! The other day I was drinking coffee at someone's house and when they proposed some milk, I preferred to drink my coffee black, which I do rarely these days because even the smell of that milk made me slightly queasy. (I didn't say anything to the hosts though as you could imagine). I can't believe how picky I've become!

 

That's one aspect I love about the town I live in: there's a farmers market 6 days a week. Fresh veggies and fruit all year round =)
With the milk I have to admit I fuel global warming: most of the time I get it from a dairy in Austria. I get a belly ache from every sort of milk except this one. Perhaps they use a different race of cows or different feed. Propably both.
In summer I often go to a local milk station (like a gas station, just for milk =) ). Summer milk tastes better because then the cows only eat grass. In winter they get fed fermented stuff which transfers its nasty aroma to the milk. If I knew a farmer who feeds hay in winter, I'd buy there. Hay milk tastes almost as good as grass milk

 

I’ve arranged a curry and a beer with a friend. First social event of the year!

 

I went out for a meal with some old friends.

 

I know someone who went out with Emile...

....sorry.

 

Had some quality quality time with the family this evening. Telling stories that had the kids in stitches.

 

Weather was ok today and I tried out the new picture taking app in Pokemon Go. It works better than I thought it would.

 

Took the kids out to play while I had a coffee, wrote for a while, did the recycling, bought some chocolatey beer, got a steak pie for lunch. And the kids behaved impeccably.
