A Very Satisfactory Day

[strange_complex]

Nothing spectacular - just one of those days that you feel good about at the end of it. So far, it has gone like this:

Morning - made good progress with chapter four. Finished the process, started yesterday, of collapsing the first 3000 words of it into 2000 better words. If things continue at this rate, of both speed and reduction, I've a good chance of finishing according to my current schedule (i.e. by April 18th).

Lunch - ate microwaved remains of last night's Taste the Difference goat's cheese and red pepper pizza. Yummy.

2pm - met stompyboots for coffee. Chatted about Leeds (which for some reason I kept calling 'Liverpool'), book, laptops and her current crush. It felt like a high-quality, well-deserved break after a productive morning - rah!

3pm - headed for the library. Continued to be happily productive. Tracked down useful and interesting references easily and efficiently. Left feeling I'd made significant progress.

5pm - bought tasty things at Sainsbury's and took them home.

And now, davesangel will be arriving shortly to stay over for the night! I haven't seen her since December, and am really looking forward to spend the evening eating some of the tasty food I bought earlier and chatting together.

So, in short - hooray!

Excellent! :-)

I like Sainsbury's... well, when it isn't being huge to the point of phobia (though I'm learning to get round that by carefully avoiding looking at the ceiling - if you do that, you can kid yourself you're in a human-sized shop). They do some wonderful things. In particular, they do black olives with the stones in, so they still taste of olives (have just been eating some); why do so many shops assume that everyone wants them pitted?

I'm afraid my only reaction to olives, pitted or unpitted, is - eeuw!
