some joys of the day

[kaberett]

1. goslings! (Canadian; one still very yellow and fluffy, several more rather larger.)
2. SNAILS. so many excellent snails. we went out on a couple of stupid little walks and saw MANY snails.
3. ate the last of my birthday cake, with discounted raspberries courtesy of one of said stupid little walks. <3
4. the post brought Several more books for me (two pain-related, ...some cookery) and I am very pleased with them. particularly looking forward to warm bread and honey cake, though given that I've still not actually read Salt Fat Acid Heat I don't rate my chances of getting to it any time soon...
5. current borrowed-on-a-whim-from-the-library book: Adventures in Stationery, James Ward. First chapter was paperclips; current chapter is a whistlestop tour of The History Of The Pen, including a much more loving biography of the BIC Cristal than I am normally exposed to via fountain pen fandom!
