1. Survived the most intense and hostile town meeting on a commercial property I'm fighting.
2. I'm honored to be the biggest pain in the ass to the developer.
3. Came home from the meeting to two pen pal letters....the best feeling....thanks silverbreeze.
It's Friday evening and I'm still on holidays, so it's easy to find "good things":
1. My, recently graduated, daughter found a house to rent (she's sharing with 2 friends) only 10 mins from our house, we are all very excited.
2. Went for a lovely drive over the Southern Alps in 26C summer sun.
3. Returned home and the automatic garage door went ballistic - up and down due to cable somehow getting tangled. Now it's stuck open. Why is this good? It isn't! What is good, it that I immediately called the man who installed it 18 months ago. I was lucky because he's going away on holidays for 2 weeks tomorrow morning and he's coming before he leaves to fix it. Phew!
1. The lamb biryani resulting from my latest recipe amendments;
2. The bottle of Spanish Grenacha that washed it down;
3. The company of my wonderful partner (migo984).
1. Cautiously optimistic about returning to normality.
2. Doris' blood tests all clear at the V.E.T.
3. Finished a painting. Tiny, took ages, quite like it!
Slept till 8 AM. A huge feat given two kids with tendency to wake up earlier on Saturday.
The young couple that fostered our dog till we adopted her 2 months ago came to visit. Was pure joy for all involved.
Nap. Needed it.
