1. Working from home because I only have to make drinks for myself and not for everyone else.
2. Househunting and having very definite feelings about a place -- in this case, a definite 'no'.
3. I buy myself three chocolates. The third one is a rich and smooth chilli and dark chocolate truffle and it's the best of the lot.

Your first BT is a selfish thing, not a beautiful one.

The relief of finding Fenellas hairbrush after a long hunt. it turns out, she likes to keep it in the recycling bin.
Hi Sammi,
Thanks for commenting -- it's always good to see a new reader. Please feel free to share some of your own beautiful things.

4. Making a pot at home rather than work and knowing when you go back for more it will be there. (yess, still selfish, but at least it's there)
Hello, Clare,

Here's an all-curry edition:
1. Deciding, without hesitation, to go out for Indian after a long day of farmers' market-ing in the windy, cold rain. (We'd already come home and had even settled into our slippers and dry clothes.)
2. Realizing that exactly what I'd been unconsciously craving for about a week beforehand was now on the table in front of me (rogan josh and a strong cup of sweet, milky chai.) With live sitar music in the background.
3. Tasting the most exquisite mixture in the little silver bowl of "stuff" near the exit. It's usually just fennel seeds, but this stuff was like...edible incense, to the degree that I wasn't sure I was supposed to eat it, at first, but then I saw the tiny sugar cubes. Here are the flavors that I detected, though I'm sure there was more to it: fennel, licorice root, wintergreen, dried rose petals, orange peel, lime leaves, clove, and cardamon. It was the most complex thing I've ever tasted. Isn't there something the Kama Sutra is always telling you to chew? Betel leaves? Maybe they were in there too.
