The small happinesses post

[white_hart]

This weekend has been hard. I've spent far too much time tweeting and retweeting and signing and emailing and now I'm suffering from news overload again. And it's Sunday evening, and I'm still fighting off a cold, and I need to unwind so I can get a decent night's sleep before I go and tackle another week at work.

We're in this for the long haul, and we need to look after ourselves. And sometimes that means looking away from the big awful things and trying to find the joy in small things. On which note, and without trying to deny that the awfulness is still going on, I'm declaring this a Good Things Post. Tell me something that cheers you up, even a little bit. Tell another commenter something nice about themself. You could even tell me something nice about myself, if you wanted. Or, if you ask, I'll tell you something nice about you, or just offer a virtual hug.

I don't know if it'll work, but it seems worth a try.

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! is a splendidly silly film.

I saw the end of it on TV in the pub we stopped at halfway back from Norfok on New Year's Day (next to the Waitrose we normally stop at, which was closed because it was New Year's Day) and was annoyed that we hadn't asked the box to record it as it looked wonderful. Perhaps I should buy the DVD. Silly things are important.

I have the DVD and it is thoroughly briliant. And very, very silly.

I found the children cutting shapes out of red paper to leave a trail next time we went for a walk...
