blueberry squash, key chains and RUFUS!

oh, but a lot of thought manifested today!

to start with, although i got a bit lax about gratitude-journaling at the weekend, i *still* got a call from my husband out of the blue, asking if i wanted such-and-such a cd. nice! yes, i *will* have them! a little bit of journaling goes a long long way.

then, i was given a bottle of blueberry squash (british concentrate that you dilute with water to make a drink out of). my co-worker didn't like it. now i was in the shop two days ago, spotted it and thought "hmmm...i wonder what that tastes like; i'd quite like to try it!" but i was in a hurry, and had to complete my shopping mission, which still included an assortment of peanuts for the guests we were having over, so i didn't stop. well this was a nice way to get to taste it. it turns out, i love it. :)

and i have a keychain that holds a fake pound coin for inserting into shopping trolleys while you shop. it broke midweek, and i was a bit disappointed, but not overly so. i thought i'd keep the fake coin, and see if i could make-shift some other key-chain combination, or just hold onto it in case i needed a spare for the next one i got. WELL! what was on the ground right outside my car when i got back from my shopping mission? a brand new shiny fake pound coin keychain, needing a fake coin! thank YOU universe! it was really weird, like someone bought it and dropped it next to my car on purpose! really, if someone is following me around with a 'candid camera' type scenario, could you just please tell me now? no wait, don't, i like this whole magic thing that's going on.

but the best thing was that i got to go see Rufus Wainwright in concert tonight. WOW he was fabulous! the reason his fabulous-ness gets a mention in this particular blog, is that i had a few 'flashback' moments tonight, to when i would listen to his songs and think how much i'd love to hear this one or that one live in concert. AND HERE I WAS! rufus didn't come to bristol, which is bigger. he came to cardiff! he came to me, to play these songs for me! yay! and so what if i was sitting in the nose-bleed seats! next time i'll attract a closer seat! i intend to sit closer to rufus at his next concert. there, it is done. YAY!

okay, i must sleep, for tomorrow is my annual cake day. and what a nice cake day it shall be.
