I was really happy yesterday that I had found some magazines that I had bought in Romania a couple of years ago and thought I'd lost. They were in an it-seemed-logical-at-the-time place that turned out to be illogical-when-you-are-trying-to-remember-where-on-earth-you-could-have-put-them place. Finding them means that the talk I'm giving next week (and hopefully the journal article that will emerge from the talk) will be brilliant and ace and all-singing all-dancing rather than just merely wonderful.
;)
I could do with the "finding that which was lost" vibe to extend into today though. At the bus stop on the way home I discovered that my bus pass was no longer in my bag. I obviously had it this morning as I got let on the bus without parting with cash, but whether I dropped it on the bus on the journey (most likely) in or at some other point during the day, who knows? I called into M&S (where I bought my lunch) and they hadn't had it handed in, neither had the janitors who look after the building my office is in. Fortunately the bus company's lost property place is just up the road from the Stately Pile, so I shall call in tomorrow and hope someone took pity on me and handed it in rather than kept it (there's still a month left on the card, so I'll be really really really cross with myself if it's gone for good. Plus it had a half-decent photo of me on it, and that doesn't happen very often! Bah). I had a good day today, work-wise, but this has disproportionately spoilt it.
In other news, hooray and thanks to Chris, we have whizzy stats back on our blogs! That has cheered me up.
