on a lot brighter day

The sun shone today.

I spent a good 1.5 hour at an electronics store with an acquaintance that was looking for a washing machine

and some more time later listening to her troubles

nice to see that I haven't entirely lost that ability

I lost my hat though

on the bus to the store 

(yes, the German one)

I talked to a friend later

it turned out great

(not sure what I was afraid of)

I watered the plants at home

and took some board games

to yet another friend

at whose place the pub quiz group

had a good game night

under the pretence of having to drink that wine

we won at one point back in the previous season.

I took a bottle of champagne as well

which was gone off

a very odd development from a bottle of champagne, as far as I can tell

but this was by far the best company for it to turn out.
