    Three positives

    This seems to be doing the rounds on facebook. My mates seem to have remarkably positive lives - flowers from boyfriends, new bikes, pleasant al-fresco evening dining.

    Here's mine for yesterday.

    Didn't stub my toe on the case that hasn't been put in the loft yet
    Didn't get abducted by aliens
    Didn't get eaten by a velociraptor.

    1. Did not punch anyone.
    2. Did not have nervous breakdown
    3. Did not top myself.

    Though I am not sure 3 is a +ve.

    Got a wasp sting this morning - in agony now.

      Ow.

      I didn't get stung by a wasp (that'll do for #1 for today, although I guess it's early yet...)

        My thumb is playing up again (bloody skiers thumb but without the hassle of going skying) but at least my head has not fallen off.

        Listening to Skullduggery again as it is fantastic.

        Got another show this weekend which is basically several hours of giving historical talks to people and being bombarded by historical questions from children but at least we are only there one day.

          here you go.

          1.off on hols next week (admittedly that will be #1 for a few days)
          2. Got a decent nights sleep last night, no one threw up. Even the baby didn't do a reading for the exorcist.
          3. no mad, pregnant dole bludging teenager in my kitchen today (one of Mrs V's waifs & strays. dog love her).
          4. my new led bulb arrived for the patio floodlight and its brighter than I hoped (bonus as I used a wildcard for 1).

            1) No mad subbies “giving it large” on site yet (yesterday I banned one of them so hopefully they have learnt)
            2) Remembered to pick up my lunch on the way out
            3) The trainee has not yet said “that’s amazing” in that oh so high pitched voice (normally about something very mundane)

                    I think there's some truth in that.

                    Saw a shrink once who told me to tell him 10 good things about myself. I came up with two, and a dodgy third.

                    I suspect if I was the sort of person who could rattle of 10 reasons why I/life was great, I wouldn't have needed the shrink in the first place.
