Today's Been Okay, Actually...

I was down in the shop all day, which usually renders me stressed out, irritated, and wanting to curl up in a corner and cry every time the shop bell rings... but today was actually pretty good - The kind of day when all the customers want something easy, and it just comes naturally to me to have a laugh with them (hard as you may find to believe it, but this charming, witty personality I have doesn't come naturally to me - I'm really very shy and hate making conversation with folk because I don't think I've got anything to offer... It's different with you lot, coz I'm not really talking to you - I'm just sat here watching verbal squits coming out my fingertips all over the keyboard).

I was in the cafe having my lunch (on time for a change today), and I couldn't see them, but there were some folk in there with a baby... probably about 10 months old or so, and he (I saw it was a he as they went out) was presumably being played some kind of game with to keep him amused... and the cafe was filled with that really infectious "heeheeheeheeheehee" laugh that babies have - you know the one I mean? And I just couldn't stop smiling - and that carried on the rest of the afternoon every time I remembered it.

Well, that's about all, I guess... so I'm offski.

Night, night....
