    Doom and Gloom....Nah! whats good about today?

    Just read the Daily Mail and everything in it is doom,gloom, foot and mouth, and negativity, made me quite depressed (as it would anyone).

    So I got to thinking, what is actually good about today..??

    Then the postman delivered a very funny card from a friend ,what a surprise! made me chuckle, so I kicked the paper in to the bin (where it belongs )and now have a very different head on.....

    What's good about your day?

    What's good about today? let me see...

    "The Sun is shining in the sky
    there aint a cloud in sight
    it's stopped raining
    Everybody's in the play
    And don't you know
    it's a beautiful new day, Hey-hey

    Running down the avenue
    See how the sun shines brightly
    In the city
    On the streets where once was pity
    Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, Hey- Hey-hey
    "

    I'm in Norway and just did local tv and its not raining .

    Stop reading the Daily Mail! Mind you most papers will make you feel that way nowadays. Even here in Norway. Last night we supported Toto, (80s band, hold the line, affrica) and although they're not my style they played really well for two hours to over 3000 people and newspaper today slagged them off with "Halfhearted Toto" as the headline. (?)

    Blue sky (where did THAT come from)

    Just back from France (ie 0100h this morning)(still trying to adjust and NOT reply to people in French).

    Have had a blissfully lazy day - reading books and doing not-a-lot else.

    Going to see friends and dance with them tonight, including one of my faviourite waltzers (ie waltzing person, not fairground ride).

    I got a pressie from work today - an iPod shuffle, in a rather lurid green.

    The parent company is doing rather well, so we all got a present to mark the occasion
