If it hadn't been raining

I wouldn’t have got to see the most glorious skies on the way home, with an oddly deep coloured fragment of rainbow appearing to rocket straight up.

I wouldn’t have got to enjoy running and jumping over the puddles between offices at work.

And if the traffic had been flowing normally on the M1, I couldn’t have spent time staring at the sky on the way home.

Lots of silver linings this week. Today I got home to find I’d won a CD, Not That Kind, at some point in a competition I’m not sure I remember entering 😉 I’m rather enjoying listening to it – it’s not something I would ever have chosen for myself, but it’s quite fun.

At work, we had a good week, such a good week, that today we got bought pizza 🙂 It’s really rather fun atm. Have any of you programming types out there read this book? Would appreciate opinions if so.

And crochetdude himself commented on my blog last night. Coo!
