Reasons to be cheerful

1) to be able to sit by the river at lunchtime and watch the clouds reflected in it.

2) to know that when one has leaned back and shoved one's hand into a bed of stinging nettles there is a clump of dock leaves nearby and, yes, they take the pain away instantly.

3) coming home to a lovely supper made of leftovers by Roland.

4) choir practice.

5) best reason of all: one of my chums from choir has been having chemotherapy and today she got the news that her lumps are shrinking! The type of chemo she is having is called FEC so we all think that's fecking fantastic news.
