Exam period is approaching fast and Easter break is looking decidedly stormy. I thought that a neat way to counteract life/exam stress would be a list of things that have made me happy over the past couple of weeks:

1. Waking up from a nap on the tube to discover the guy opposite staring at me. Guy then puts palms together and imitates sleep. This should have been creepy but actually reminded me that wonderful and strange moments can happen on the tube. Or it may have just been creepy....

2. Another tube story. Listening to a guy reading 'The World According to Hamsters' aloud to his daugher. I now respect hamsters more than I did before.

3. Writing a ridiculous short story about the Woodpecker King and transforming it into a book.

4. Waltzing at Palace of Justice gigs.

There are plenty more but I should probably go to bed now.

Put the fish in the boat and we'll have it for dinner..

This is my blog and it's going to be about stuff. I have no idea what kind of stuff but it will probably include the following:

Tales of random encounters on the 134.

Attempts to be of a cheerful disposition with the occasional lapse into violent misanthropy.

Excited posts about books and bookshops and blogs and music and tea.

Hopefully, it will be an adventure!
