Today's little happinesses
1. SaraMae finding and buying a 1952 edition of Simple Heraldry, Cheerfully Illustrated for me. This was the book which, like a shaft of light in a dull day stuck in the school library, first sparked off my lifelong interest in heraldry.
2. Reading the book with Riordon and finding out she loves it too.
3. Fin making curried chicken for dinner! I love curry.
4. Walking past a man in the gaybourhood whose shirt said DEFINE "GIRLFRIEND".
5. Fr Richard telling us a story about how the solemn Good Friday mass was interrupted when one of the choirboys released his pet garter snake.
6. The word "perichoretic".
7. Swinging Riordon on the swings in the park.
8. Riordon writing this program with me
#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
  float in;
  float is;
  float a;

  scanf("%f%f", &in, &is);
  a=in+is;
  printf("%f\n", a);
}
and saying, "Okay, next let's make it so you can tell it if you want to add or subtract" and then hearing her say, "Can we make it so it tells you what to do to make an equation true?" (honestly).
9. Discovering that the Welsh word for "microwave" is popty ping.
