Special moments

Following yesterday's good news, today has been busy, busy, busy ~ I have made a list of the lists that I need make (well it's a start!).

Two deliveries have arrived (oh it's like Christmas again at the unit ~ lots of boxes to unpack, items to check and then rewrap) and Dave and I have been working on our much awaited catalogue.

Some days, the time just flies past and it's suddenly almost six o'clock and I still haven't acheived all that I wanted to. Funnily though, it's on days like this that I get a really nice feeling of satisfaction in what we have acheived ~ it feels a bit like I've just eaten a Green and Black's Easter egg... hmm, why is Easter egg chocolate so much yummier than just a bar of chocolate?

Oh I digress again; so we have come home and resumed our usual post work positions, Dave in the dining room doing website development (interspersed with playing his favourite computer game) and I'm in the drawing room in the company of Robbie Williams (Live at Knebworth DVD), with a pile of this month's house-y magazines to leaf through in between answering emails and listing items on our website.

My lifelong best friend as just telephoned me for a chat. We only speak about once a fortnight and I see her even less (it was just before Christmas when I last saw her); but we have laughed until we were crying at something sillly she said, we have shared our affection for each other's families, talked about how work has been, plans for the immediate future (at work and at home) and re-cemented our very special bond. What's really nice about our relationship is that because she has known me my entire life, lots of things need no words spoken between us; they are just understood. We share our joys and our woes and support each other whenever we need it. She is an inspiration to me. She is my sister, J.

Have to dash ~ Dave is calling me and it's my turn to make tea... chat soon, Liz
