Things to be happy for on a Thursday

• No cavities and an upbeat 'Keep up the good work' from my spectacular dentist. She takes care of the whole family and we never stop talking about her appearance. Punk and posh mixed in some bizarre way, with heavy black eye make up and a fringe made into a funny little bird's nest. But she is good!

• Finally getting a section of a routine in the lunchtime step class. Concentration and hard work. And being able to watch and follow my sister standing in front of me, who could trot through the whole routine on light feet.
  
  
• An email from old friend E suggesting an escape from work and a long lunch. Even if I couldn't make it the idea still made me happy. (Note my commitment to the step class which took priority over lunch with E.)
  
  
• A call from very old friend F suggesting a drink at his hotel when he got in from the airport for his twentyfour hours business trip. Spontaneous and lovely as always.
  
  
• Cycling home in the rain being grateful it's not snowing.
