Day

+ I got the rubbish out - the recycling
= The publishers can't afford to do anything this year, and are looking at about two years, so I have lots of time to choose a collection. I may self-publish another meanwhile.
- I am exhausted and in considerable discomfort.

+ Emer got a birthday card from the Meeting
- The development at Bath Road Reservoir seems to be trying to get going again, we got planning office bumf today

+ I did two loads of laundry
+ I ate a lot of excellent bread
+ I had marvellous coffee
+ I had a nectarine
+ I handwashed three silk tops and one silk skirt, to wear for looking lovely when required
+ I had a splendid shower and wore clothes I liked and remembered a necklace (a habit I'm trying to cultivate) and tried on some ten-year-old makeup (ok, though a bit annoying. Glad I didn't use any foundation or powder or anything).
+ A friend had good news about her suspected cancer - it's real, but the NHS can deal with it relatively simply, and will
+ A friend and neighbour came to dinner
+ Another neighbour saw me at the door and stopped me to ask how we all were because they heard I had been ill
+ Rob is making flapjacks and cakes for the birthday party
+ We have pink and purple balloons, as requested, and I've made pink and purple paper chains, and we happen to have a pink and purple tablecloth
+ Only 39 hours to the party!
