The One Line Diary

I found a book in a bookshop that I bought recently (the book, not the bookshop). I forget the title (these things aren't really important to me) but it was basically a selection of free things to do. I think 102, to be precise. And it starts with the suggestion to go outside and look at the stars. Got to be a good book.

Anyway, it also has a suggestion of keeping a one line / sentence diary. So every day gets a sentence. No more, no less. Which seems like a great idea. But isn't so great that I've started doing something about it. No no. Instead, I'm going to write many sentences about it. Much better.

It's beginning to become apparent that vegan chocolates (so individual chocolates, rather than bars of chocolate) make me beautifully content. Today I received a belated Christmas gift (courtesy of crazy weather meaning I hadn't been able to see said person before the holidays) and this evening I have feasted on sweet potato & ginger soup, a 70% cocoa chocolate reindeer AND another vegan choccie delight which was a gift from my parents. I feel utterly indulged. I like it.

And now I can hear scratchy scratchy noises which sound like the mouse who occasionally decides to show him/herself in my room. And the rain of the veluxes. In between The Feeling - Twelve Stops and Home playing. Rose really is a beautiful track. And I'm enjoying the rest of the album rather a lot, too. Which is rather pleasant.

Oooh, and my hair is silky smooth after, for the first time ever, I gave it a "deep conditioning" treatment. Very complicated it was too...it involved olive oil and hot water. Brilliant. Happy silky hair.

But predominantly I needed to get all these thoughts out of my head so I could do some reading without my head interrupting. Which reminds me of my impromptu day out of the office today. Unexpected but fruitful!

And is that it? Head? Are you emptied of thoughts that needed capturing? Really? Truly? Sure? Awesome.
