i'm washing my hair (although will confess brum's rare bus ticket collection sounds tempting) would have been more tempted by puppies though, soooo cute, don't you think? hope your weekend was f-a-b *fairyuk26*

OMG this has reminded me - I have a frisbee to return to *someone* ;) anyway, I will pop over to sydenham (on the bus) to get some yummy things from waitrose. my picnic blanket is feeling quite neglected, its been ages...

lol brum pgc - smallholding in east anglia (will bring enough sloes back next time I go) PS. who is dana?

yes, I have experienced joy lately (not in ED sadly) mainly in the form of wild blackcurrants - they taste amazing! also plums, cherries, apricots, sloes... gingerbread houses, pretty gardens of hollyhocks and sunflowers, the smell of eucalyptus and pine trees, fields of wheat, poppies, windmills, rivers, wildlife, interesting light across the flat landscape and skies that go on forever... sheer joy
