ten good things
1. Excellent dinner: English asparagus on lightly-toasted Interesting Bread, with a brilliantly zingy and citrusy home-fermented goats' cheese; followed by more of the toast with olive oil + garlic, and salad bits. Dessert, eventually, was pear-and-plum crumble (star anise and vanilla in the fruit, cinnamon and hazelnut and oats in the crumble itself.)
2. I received a quotation for the wheelchair repairs currently ongoing; they're somewhere under half of what I was bracing myself for, which is a great relief.
3. Excellent lunch with a good friend in a small friendly deli in South London. I was particularly intrigued by (but alas did not sample) the tiny gluten-free strawberry-and-elderflower cheesecake.
4. The trip to and from same: a beautiful cherry-blossom mural on a building's front wall; a garden riotous with poppies somewhere between bud and full bloom; irises and weird little fuzzy orange things and colours everywhere.
5. Physio, on the train to and from, and reading books with it: still working on Hope In The Dark, but I'm about halfway through now and then I'll move on to Hugo reading.
6. I dyed A's hair again last night, and am pleased with the result. (It is all-over red, because red seems to wash out of his hair more quickly than blue, in the interests of i. checking whether the new red is actually a red and ii. getting it to a state where I can actually try putting a rainbow in it with minimal rebleaching of previously-bleached hair. In fact, because this means I put a lot of red on over blue, he's got what is in essence a red-into-deep-purple ombre going on, with a darker red layer on top and a lighter red layer underneath.)
7. I am delighted by the conversation that's going on in comments over at the enchilada recipe. Thank you, folk, I keep cackling with delight. <3
8. I continue chipping away at the paper, and spotting all the tricks my brain is trying to play on me, and thinking about things and spotting possible problems and addressing them. I am really very pleased with the progress this represents.
9. I am continuing to sincerely enjoy Pokemon Go.

Yay for the wheelchair repairs being cheaper than expected! And that dinner sounds excellent! If you like asparagus, have you tried asparagus pesto? It is very nom.

I have not tried asparagus pesto! I normally really do just steam it and eat it with butter (the goats' cheese was going out on a bit of a limb for me...). But I will Investigate pesto. :-)
