Let me make a short post!
It’s been a taxing week and I’m tired. That special kind of tired that makes your eyes sting and the world seem like it’s going to come crashing in around your head at any time. Note to self: go to fecking bed on time.
It’s hard sometimes to find reasons to smile even though my rational self knows that there are many.
I found one today though, well two actually. The first came in the shape of a most delightful gentleman I had to escort to a meeting. It’s been a while since my heart fluttered for anything other than a reaction to my anti histamines, but boy did it today. It felt like a moment, only a miniature time stopping one though, for it lasted no longer than two minutes, but it was enough to make me smile. I shall never see the object of my immediate affection again, but that’s ok as imagination is usually much better than reality.
Buoyed by a happy heart and the fact that it was home time I pressed play on my IPod for the walk to the train to be greeted by tunes from the the new Penguin Cafe Orchestra CD my sister got me for my birthday and the smile just widened. I was in fear at one stage it might even split my face in two.
No doubt when I get home the shit will hit the fan as it usually does, but for the next 30 minutes I’m basking in the sunshine, the music and the beating of my happy heart!

It’s great isn’t it? I use it all the time, though the phone app is a bit buggy at the moment… :P
Maybe we should get the Music Page started up again. It was fun but I think recently it kind of disintegrated.
