Until the Dragon Comes

Yesterday was a good day.

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I've been thinking for a little while that it would be nice to get a comfortable chair for my bedroom, so I can sit in there with my laptop. I really wasn't sure where to start, but after seeing lots of expensive and not at all the right sort of chairs online, I decided to look in the various charity second-hand furniture shops in town. I found exactly what I was looking for in the Sue Ryder shop - not just the comfortable armchair I thought it was but actually a La-Z-Boy (think the US pronunciation) recliner, in pretty good condition, for less than £40. :-)

In order to get the chair into my room, I had to do some clearing up of the Piles of Junk(TM) that always accumulate because companies will insist on sending me stuff, and lots of TS paperwork. After a couple of hours, I had a lot of recycling, some rubbish, and some much more organised paperwork - it really felt like I'd achieved something.

Finally, to top off an excellent day I finally managed to finish screen 133 on Candy Crush, which I've been stuck on for weeks. :-) I'm sure I'll be reverting to the mean soon, but in the meantime I'm enjoying it.

I went to the breakfast table this morning and found a package, which I wasn't expecting at all.

There was a card with it, which was sealed, with actual sealing wax, which is so cool - I had to make sure I kept that intact, for posterity. :-) And inside the package was a wonderful necklace from the lovely gayalondiel. :-)

Thank you so much, my dear - you've made my day and sent me to work with a great big grin on my face. I may not be able to avoid Rodney-style happy dances. ;-)
