good things

just a few things that have brought me much happiness over the last few days...

• that I managed to cook myself two perfect boiled eggs on Saturday morning. Although I am actually quite a good cook as a general rule my boiled eggs are always undercooked and partly raw (I am not a huge fan of timing things) so much so that both 'R' and my Mum will not let me cook them boiled eggs and always insist on doing it themselves....
• that I got my copy of Dita von Teese's new book Stripteese signed by the lady herself on Friday evening.
• that my seedling are growing! albeit quite slowly...
• that I went to the Sunday UpMarket on Brick Lane yesterday with my sister to find that not only it has expanded hugely since I last went and now has loads of vintage stalls upstairs but one lady had a box of 'free stuff' she was getting rid of at the end of the day and I got a kimono with this amazing dragon on! it has a hole in one of the shoulder seams and the belt is missing but otherwise it's in perfect condition. I have another one in dark blue I bought ages ago which I altered and made into a shirt/top type thing and am yet to wear so had been kind of regretting it but now I have another one I can flounce around in when it gets warmer!
• that it has been forecast to rain all day (although it isn't right now...) and there's loads of good stuff to listen to on the radio iPlayer including last week's Dylan show!
