some good things

1. Poached quince nonsense. This round being served with Supermarket Custard.
2. New mattress: So Far So Good (and we have now managed to rearrange matters such that Old Mattress is less horribly in the way than it was overnight).
3. CultPens, bless them, have got back to me about a slightly awkward query and said they are happy to try to do it... which of course means now I want to place another order, which in turn means that I want to work out what else I can justify to myself in the interests of getting to the free shipping threshold...

(Order that arrived this week: pack of 24 Atoma 28mm plastic disc binding rings; De Atramentis Document Brown; corner rounder; notebook for A. The disc binding rings are so I can colour-coordinate the lost property booklets for Admin: the LRP, but alas I wound up short 2 oranges and 3 dubious yellows, so that's what I'm talking myself into special ordering; De Atramentis is for mixing; corner rounder is for FUN i.e. to make the dividers I have for my various discbound notebook Situations nicer, and is Extremely Satisfying.) 4. Frivolous, also soothing: I have worked out how I want to set up the spreadsheet in which I am cataloguing my ridiculous collection of embroidery floss. (I have also done Significant Tidying, Sorting And Consolidation of the bits I acquired In My Youth, long before the Giant Organisey Boxes...)
