Good news

1) My documentation for my car insurance arrived today. I'd been panicking that I'd accidentally bought third party, fire and theft insurance, but thankfully this isn't the case. My skoda-car is now insured with Norwich Union, with roadside recovery and fully comprehensive insurance.

2) I've just spoken to the nice people at Currys and discovered that my laptop is under warranty, and because the screen is so comprehensively screwed (it's not just a crack on the screen, a la pierot's old laptop - the entire screen has just shut down), they will bring it in for repairs. They may, of course, change their minds later on, so I'm removing all data from the laptop in case they take it and decide it isn't worth repairing.

3) I still have today and tomorrow to finish the write up of my project. I've got the first 1000 words written, and I think I can write another 2000 words in two days.

4) I have a house, a car, two gorgeous cats, a garden, and fabulous people to live with. The world is not ending. The sky is not falling on my head. I even have new LJ icons.

Can anyone else think of things I should feel positive and cheerful about today, even in the midst of near-catastrophe?

I'm really sorry for that particular affliction, Sal - can you cope?

Slight tangent, when did you change the banner for your LJ page? I really like the new one!

The ice motif? Last week, sometime, I think. I was in a shivery mood due to rain and cold and it seemed appropriate.

Good friends, fun hobbies, this rain that is probably doing wonders for your garden, and the promise of lazy sunny days ahead.

You've got a skoda too? Another reason to have you on my "nice people" list.

I do indeed. I have a lovely grey skoda fabia, which I bought last year. I call her 'Aefre', because I am odd and like to name cars, and the license plate starts with 'ae'.

She's actually been a gem. It's the first time I've had a car that I've managed to get it through an entire year without needing to call roadside recovery once!

I could ask Mom to shave Cleo.
