some good things make a post

1. It is so so lovely to have consistent access to pear juice.
   
2. Adam cooked us breakfast this morning: half a punnet of mushrooms that needed et, scrambled eggs, toasted sourdough. I struggle with mornings, and having breakfast Appear makes me feel very loved.
   
3. We played a game of Scrabble; Adam trounced me, to my delight, in that I finished at 353 (which is about normal for me) and he wound up at 558. I am very much enjoying being indulged to the tune of this game, and playing collaboratively, and and and.
   
4. Relatedly: I am fond both of the Travel Scrabble set I liberated from the iron bookcase under the piano in the mouldering ancestral pile, and the Scrabble dictionary WITH BRIEF DEFINITIONS I found in TK Maxx a few years ago, having previously had no idea any such thing existed.
   
5. On the topic of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, my supervisor e-mailed back with surprising haste the other evening, in terms that I will affectionately summarise as "lol sucks to be you" -- because yeah, this data is interesting enough I really do need to go digging.
   
6. GEOROC and GeoREM do, however, make my life vastly easier, even if they are still (some of them, at least) frame-based web design the age of which does not bear thinking about.
   
7. My e-reader is a marvellous thing. I keep forgetting, but I've found a place for it to live in my small bag that Goes Everywhere.
   
8. Blue stripy pyjamas also slipper socks. (I am wearing them. They are warm and soft and I am cosy.)
   
9. Raclette! And French that is nowhere near fluent or easy, but is sufficient for me to communicate about important basics.
   
10. I continue to be mildly surprised by this, but: I enjoy telling anecdotes, I enjoy amusing people, I enjoy this being a skill I apparently have in at least some contexts. I have had several opportunity to in the past few days, and have been basking a little.

Right, there we go. Good night, Dreamwidth. <3
