Celebrate the small things

Join the blog hop and share your celebrations with us. Here are mine.

My day began with a text from a friend wishing me a happy day, for no reason other than that she was thinking of me. Isn't that nice?

Then I got an email from Smashwords to say someone had left me a 5-star review for my free short story 'Briefs Encounter'. Well, thank you!

I have a weekend of culture planned. It's the Malcolm Arnold Festival in Northampton, so I'm dusting off my opera glasses and intelligent conversation to go and mix with the musical cognoscenti of the county.

Have a good weekend, folks.

  2. I'm sure I had to study a piece by Malcolm Arnold for O Level music back in the day - (Scottish dances I think?) - enjoy the festival :)

    1. The music was a bit of a curate's egg this year. Some of his stuff is quite challenging - I wouldn't like to have to study it.

  3. I think wishing someone a lovely day on a whim is great - I'm going to do it!

  5. I don't do so well at communicating with the artsy types. I always feel like they'll see through me and realize I have no idea what I'm talking about!

    1. There was one very highbrow talk where the speaker kept saying 'As you will all know...' - and we didn't!
