I like dirt, and things that grow in dirt

Yesterday was pretty good. I had chips for dinner and generally mooched around because I wasn't feeling 100% and needed to be up and about today.
Five things about today that made me happy:
Went with my boss to her allotment and dug up weeds and handled worms and used the rake and drank milky tea with sugar and burnt the dried weeds and chatted with boss's husband about the differences between Australia and the UK and the US (where he was born).
My boss also taught me how to make two different sorts of curry (she's Indian) and we ate them for dinner with kedgeree (well, khichdi - rice and lentils). Then we had apple crumble. Also, their friend Juliet (whose birthday party it also was when it was boss's husband's birthday party), was there and we defended Harry Potter as a story to boss's son, who was bagging it, while we were watching the second film on tv.
Also got to talk a little bit about series subjects like how good science fiction likes to think it is as writing non majority characters and how bad it actually fails to do that.
Then boss's husband drove me home in his removal van.
Three things I did well today:
1. Digging!
2. Took Easter eggs as a present for boss.
3. Was prepared to knock on completely random house when I forgot which was boss's and ask if they knew where boss lived.
Two things I look forward to doing/ doing better tomorrow
1. Going to the market.
2. Buying a plant.
