Half a dozen reasons

to celebrate:

1. My first ever couchsurfing guest is here. From Portugal. With a big yellow bag. 

2. It rained last night, the sky is pink and clean and fresh.. and it's a bit cool - I'm holding my breath and hoping it lasts.

3. I have two days off - today and tomorrow - I had worked the weekend, and my weekend is today.

4. I have a friend visiting from Bombay.

5. My big fat package from Lush is expected to arrive in 48 hours.

6. I have an earworm that I'm loving - Billy Joel's Piano Man, and I sing it very loudly. (which may or may not mean I sing it well.)

7. My flatmates are out of town, so we have the house to ourselves. 

Bonus reason to celebrate: My orange hair is looking fabulous now, I think.
