Little Stalky Has a Nice Day

Today is my day off after a rather hectic 5 days working at the holiday park.  And today has so far been one of those perfectly relaxing days where one can't help but smile.  I awoke early to blue skies and sunshine.  The house was - and continues to be - tidy and all the ironing had been done.  I knew I had a guilt free day of doing whatever the hell I wanted to do.  It's a good way to start the morning.  So I've been out in town, pottering around and enjoying the sunshine.  I've sorted a few bills, which always makes me feel better.  Had a nice chat with the lady in the bank.  I had a look around a pottery exhibition and came home with a funky little spoon holder that I was able to buy with the change in my purse.  Had a nice chat with the man who made the spoon holder.  A spoon holder, by the way, is the size of a mini plate with a lip thus allowing the cook to rest a spoon on the counter without getting sauce / tea / stuff on the counter top.  Excellent.  Then I wandered over to the library, got me some new books, got Mystical Roo a book on surfing.  Had a nice chat with the librarian.  On to the post office to collect Mystical Roo's wetsuit.  I didn't stop to chat here as the lady behind the counter scares me.  I made up for this by getting a fresh juice on the way back to the flat and having a chat with the man behind the counter.  I guess it seems like a fairly ordinary day but there's something really nice about having no pressure to be anywhere or to do anything.  And I think today I felt like part of a community.  Little Stalky with her library bag, nattering to the locals like a proper member of society.  It was nice.  And now I've come home and it's only just hit 10.30, which means I have the whole day ahead of me.  I plan mostly to read.  It's going to be great.
