Today

Today I received a speeding ticket in the post. I wasn't the one driving, but it made me feel bad.

Today I went out for a walk in fields full of wild flowers, it was beautiful like a dream.

Today I calculated the amount that I had spent on driving lessons so far, and was shocked. I could have bought another car!

Today I played 囲碁 with Peter all day.

Today I lay in bed all afternoon and evening nursing a migraine.

Today we had a BBQ at work.

Today I played the game, Portal on my computer and realised that I have a really bad sense of direction.

Today I read the Conservative - Liberal Democrat coalition agreements and crossed my fingers.

Today I watched Gordon Brown say goodbye and sympathised with him though I'm not a Labour fan.

Today I reinstalled Sims 3 on my computer so I could build a Tiny House prototype.

Today I went to watch the Abingdon Dragonboat Race.

Today I finally washed the sheets after what felt like a year. Didn't find rice under the pillows this time.

Today I was gutted to find that my favourite MP, Dr. Evan Harris had lost his seat to the Tories. It was supposed to be a safe seat! However, we now have a hung parliament. Yay.

Today I voted in the UK General Election.

Today I watched some TED Talks, and got inspired by cellular automaton, mathematics, and 'mass custom creativity'.

Today Peter showed me how to play Magic: The Gathering.

Today I read and loved the tattered pages of Peeps at Many Lands: Japan (published 1907), which Peter bought me from a church fair in Hayle.

Today I got really anxious when I realised that I didn't qualify for UK citizenship yet (unless I got married, which I didn't want to), but Peter found some small print which said I could apply for ILTR next year. Phew.

Today we visited the Eden Project on our way back from Cornwall, it was amazing.

Today we walked to the lighthouse and found some lazy seals at a cove.
