Things of Joy, Post #37

This Saturday I am clinging to moments of joy:

*the CDs I liberated from my father's store, 50s cool jazz and 60s pop jazz and the odd bit of Afro-Cuban jazz awesomeness

*new makeup (eyeliner, eyebrow filler, highlighter, blush) with an option to buy new lippie later

*wearing my Ariat cowboy boots (3 years old now?) with a pencil skirt so I could run from meeting to meeting at work yesterday

*Bertie Carvel writing brilliantly for the New Statesman. (He talks about playing Simon Foster, who is loathsome, but mmmm, Bertie.)

*Britbox has "A Bit of Fry and Laurie"! And Campion!!!!!!

*homemade bread made by a colleague

*2 and a half inches of rain yesterday, and an almost cool morning today for Master Danger's and my walk

May your days ahead be full of joy.

That is an excellent list.

Me, I saw a whole flock (or gaggle) of Canada geese foraging on the grass in front of a local school this morning. That was pretty cool.

[hugs] and more joy to come for you.

That's a good list.

I roasted some asparagus in the toaster oven today and it came out more of less edible.

Ooh, Campion! ❤️

And also, RAIN! It does help calm the tropics...

Hugs and joy where we can find it!

Oh, what a good list. Music, new colors, and boots for the win! (also, bread, but I'm trying not to notice how much I miss bread...)

Hugs, and more joy to come for you!

Hello, hello, hello! I am only now catching up on LJ/DW; I didn't log on at all while I was away this summer.

Still have to sort through waaaaaaay too many photos (I think I need to pretend that I'm paying for film and processing; digital cameras make it all too easy to go overboard) but hope to pick out the best to share.

The CDs, makeup, bread, et cetera all sound lovely! Especially the rain, which we desperately need in my corner of the world.

Homemade bread is the best :)
