There've been lots of happy things today!

We'd only just woken up when we received a phonecall from our friends Eireann and Matt saying they were outside!

Their morning plan was to make their friends happy by dropping by people's houses with home-baked, beautifully gift-wrapped goodies. We got a big bag of cranberry and orange scones and some Christmas cookies. Yay! Nicest possible start to the day :)

When I got to work I had another happy moment when I gave my boss a toy giraffe I'd made for her, I think she liked it even though it looked more like a diplodocus than a giraffe.

Christmas food shopping in town should have been hellish, as I had to go to the mall, which is not only fully of aggressive people but also has animatronic reindeer, the horror, the horror. However, my resolve to stay chipper held out and I bumped into my friend Jenny who was determined to buy me a massive soya hot chocolate.

Another one of my closest friends, Ying, joined us and we headed back to ours for long chats. Was really good to spend time with her. I always feel like things are in perspective more when I've chatted to her.
