Many things made me laugh today. When I saw this: http://foodonmydog.tumblr.com/ I sat and haw haw hawed in a most ungainly way at my computer screen for a good five minutes. I absolutely love how puerile and pointless this is - just so pleasing. Of course, it's partly because the dog pleases me. If someone was putting food on a hamster's head, I might not look too long. I love that the dog (Tiger) is almost always looking at the camera, and is doing low status eyes. It fills me with glee. Thank you, Puj, for bringing this to my attention.
Satisfying cleaning, packing, tidying today. I wasn't sure I'd ever quite finish, but I did. Almost. One more round of it in the morning. I am so grateful to Ruth for having nurtured me and had me here for so long. I'm very sorry I can't have my cake and eat it. Maybe I can. Maybe we can still do lots of nice things.
It was such a joy to talk and laugh with Ruth tonight when I came home. She was back later than me - she'd been playing a gig with the Red River folk band in Barnet. Both of us overtired and giddy, we laughed and laughed and had serious moments and moments of just so. That's something I'll miss very much. She's a good egg. Such a good egg. I love her very much.
On the tube this evening, a drunk man insisted on dancing. Thank you to the well'ard-looking man sitting next to me, who let himself give off a massive smile, even a laugh, and shared it with me.
I liked that when the man got a bit nasty to a lady who may have asked him to be quiet, both of us were keeping a close eye. I was ready to get up and do something if he got physical. I think my giggling neighbour was too.
Not sure what I would have done. Asked him for the time? For a sip of his beer (hoping he'd say no, of course - couldn't take him up on it if he'd gone for it). In my mind's eye, I rugby-tackled him to the ground. Ridiculous! And not very effective at diffusing the situation. That was on the list of things that made me laugh, though.
Good meeting with Rob. Good to get the ideas flowing again. Very nice. And then work in a cafe on City Road. I laughed when I realised, after about 10 minutes, that I was walking in entirely the opposite direction to what I thought, on that road. Well Done Me. Twat! I found a good place to work, though. I didn't dare go to the Hub. Too many nice people threatening to be there, and I really needed to get on.
Big gratitude to the lilty Geordie at the Inland Revenue, who has re-issued my information about the National Insurance contributions I owe and has bumped my due date back from tomorrow to whatever it says on the letter. Not that kind of due date, you understand. That'd be a turn-up. One day a walking womb and the next, about to give birth. That'd be very speedy. Well, you never know.
And for a lovely yoga class. Before class, I wrote down to ask Foca for a sheet of postures to take on my trip. Today, triggered by something else, he produced one and offered it to me. Very pleasing.
And thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for the inklings of another opportunity to do a play workshop, this time with lots more people. This is what I love. Getting people playing, laughing, enjoying each other and themselves. I would LOVE to do that. Love to.
I love designing experiences for people too. What do they want (or what do the people initiating the sessions want for them) and how can I find a way of getting that to happen? It's all to be found out.
I was delighted by pictures of an ex housemate looking very happy with his new girlfriend (FB again). That makes me very happy indeed. Looks like he's having a lovely time.
On that note... here's to lovely times had by all, to sleep and dreams of wonderful thin
gs. Possibly food on somebody's dog, and a companion who is equally happy to guffaw at similar sillinesses.
