Whilst the train was at a station a little boy was peering at the carriage over the top of a barrier. He ran to his Mum and pestered her to pick him up, she did, and he waved at the train as we pulled away. Awww!

Fog. Little wisps of it floating here and wafting in there really make my day, or rather, night. A general haze is OK, but a deep set permeation of fog is really exciting.
Last night we had the thickest fog I've ever seen. Traffic signals suddenly materialized out of nowhere as I drove. Passing cars were fading in and out of existence. Stores by the side of the street drifted by like ghosts while those set further back had removed themselves from reality entirely. All of this was even more eerie on the edge of the city where there were only buildings at the intersections. How scary would that have been in a big city before the advent of electricity.

During recent phone call to my mum, she told me
my 6-year-old nephew was recently at my mum's house, and he spotted an ant on the floor. My mum went to kill it, but my nephew screamed: "No, nanny, don't kill it - ants have FEELINGS!"

And thus the second generation of tree-hugging hippies in my household is spawned! Yay!

On Saturday, I was stuck here at work for the entire day...and things were so calm and quiet that I was able to read an entire novel. It had been so long since I'd read a novel in an afternoon, I was worried that I couldn't do it anymore.

It gives me a warm feeling to read the last page of a novel and set it down.

Watching television and laughing aloud while alone. I don't do this very often. In fact I don't laugh out loud at film or television very often - most of the time I laugh at other people laughing (I find that funny for some reason).

In fact, my favourite thing that makes me completely glad to be alive is that almost painful feeling of trying not to laugh when you really want to. One time at school we 'broke' into one of the buildings that were out of bounds at break time, and were chased by a very strict teacher - he cornered us in a class room full of permissioned and older studiers, and we hid in the lamest ways possible (under desks, sitting next to a student trying to blend in, the best was standing behind a divider board that had no bottom, so you could see the persons legs perfectly clear) we got pulled into the corrider and lined up, and the teacher marched up and down telling us off, but as his back turned to you, you were able to laugh, when he turned back you had to hide it - it was fantastically funny. As we left the building we saw one friend who had got away and tried to climb out of a window of a downstairs toilet, but had gotten stuck, which we tried to hide from the teacher, while trying no to laugh, which made us laugh more. I love that feeling.

I've got a patient who's this big, intense Middle Eastern guy who doesn't speak a word of English and always requires an interpreter. I've never seen him smile.

He just handed me the biggest, campest Christmas card you've ever seen, all glitter and snowmen, with sparkly rosettes stuck to the envelope. Inside, in careful schoolchildesque handwriting, he's written my name and signed his own. He must've been practising.

He also gave me a beautifully wrapped (with lots of scissor-spiralled curlicues of ribbon) box of Ferrero Roches.
