As I seem to have been consistently fuckingmiserable recently I thought something vaguely cheery would be 'nice'.
So here are some random good things that make bad feelings recede into the middle distance.
1. Having a full tank of petrol and the feeling that if you wanted, you could just drive off where ever the hell you liked.....
2.Finding a tiny baby green tomato on your precious tomato plants
3.Ditto courgettes.
4.The sun is shining...and the weather forecasters predicted rain.
5. Nick Griffin got pelted with eggs!!!!!!!!
6. Madonna got her baby - I know we're all supposed to hate her guts because she 'swans' in, waves her magic wand and runs off with a baby - but I've watched hundreds of hours of footage of starving babies and always wanted to do exactly the same thing. Great big house, big pile of money, you would wouldn't you - and you know that the baby will be happy and healthy (until obviously it hits its teens and then no doubt it'll go all Hollywood and drug shaped, but till then, yay Madonna, two words that I never thought I'd put together in a sentence).
7. The press have stopped banging on about Gordon Brown etc, expenses, bankers, swine flu - for now. I think they feel a bit guilty about contributing to the whole BNP mess - and they should.
8. It's still sunny!!!!
9. The Guardian had its first headline worrying about inflation - weird reason to be happy I suppose but if you read between the lines its because the economy is reluctantly picking itself up after its bruising encounter with the w/bankers. Naturally the Guardian doesn't want to go all mushy and optimistic so it's whinging about inflation....but still.
10.........not sure there are ten good things to be happy about but hey, having nine good things is good enough for me!
