Today

Today I had a panic clean-up of my flat after discovering some 50 maggots under the sofa.

Today I bought a cheap £25 bike so I won't have to carry my brompton up and down the stairs whenever I go out.

Today we planted our pet pepper plant at the allotment.

Today Peter caught a cold from me.

Today was my birthday. I received many delightful presents and Peter made me a Monkey Jump cake.

Today Peter treated me to a fabulous gourmet dinner at The Fishes to celebrate his new job and my upcoming birthday.

Today I had been thinking about my past again. I do that whenever I make new friends, as if I want them to feel sorry for me and give me a pat on my back for having turned out fine. Is this what they call self pity?

Today I ate biscuit, cake and fruit for breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner.

Today I sat on the toilet at 6:30am and had a zen moment. The birds were wonderful. Perhaps I should do this more often.

Today Peter drove me to B&Q to get gardening supplies for the last time before he leaves for Plymouth. I was grouchy and impossible to please.

Today I was ill and slept all day.

Today I went to see a hygienist and she showed me how to make my gums bleed. Fun.

Today I studied some Go proverbs.

Today I was too tired to go out after work, so I lay in bed and played Go on my iPad instead.

Today I met up with friends to celebrate Monika's last day at work and her birthday. Peter was away at Plymouth viewing flats.

Today I did loads of digging, it was 6 hours of gardening in total.

Today we did more gardening, the allotment is shaping up nicely.

Today we set up a compost bin at my allotment.

Today we added a bench to my allotment.

Today I received a free iPad from Torchbox and a TomTom sat nav which I had bought. The iPad made me happy, and the TomTom made me want to kill someone.
