A good day

This is the first day I can remember for a long time where everything felt right. I did nothing special, I didn't even go out as it was raining. I was free all day, planned what I could do, and just got on with it.
Firstly I started copying my second tape of music from the computer. I have amassed a good deal of theme tunes from childhood TV programmes, and while I was looking for the link to the flagship 'Salute to Thames', by Johnny Hawksworth, which began the day for many years on London's ITV, I came across both of the rude Rainbow videos I'd been after for ages as well. I'm still looking for the Thames track as well, but I found it before so it should turn up again.
In the background I was also playing a new computer game, which is the nearest board game I've found as satisfying as Scrabble. You can play it in the arcade at www.planet-q.com .mumu . Then a friend came round and we had a good laugh at the Rainbow video, as well as some other filthy stuff I'd downloaded before she left and I returned to the computer and BBC Radio 4.

It just showed me again how it's the simple things in life that make the quality, and I was free, in nice surroundings, and with nice people. What else did I need? All I really need is the people around most of the time, like they used to be. And that can always happen again, of course.
I've managed due to a combination of the internet and my own memory's operation, to bring back many of the best elements of the past, including the Jeremy Taylor record 'Ag pleez Deddy', a picture and lots of information about the singer Nadia Cattouse, loads of music and clips of the Look and Read series 'Joe and the sheep rustlers' (though I missed the recent repeats...), lots of Rainbow nostalgia (clean and dirty), and my first ever ebay purchase, a book that was serialised on radio 4 in 1988 'Slambash wangs of a compo gormer' by John Leeson (don't ask...) which I would recommend to everyone, as well as theme tunes not heard for twenty or more years including Ask Aspel, Sceen test, Simon in the land of chalk drawings, Watch and of course as I love to repeat Joe and the sheep rustlers. Plus I just discovered a psychedelic poster I got of the Beatles for a few pounds in Portobello Road years ago is worth about £200 now. Now if only I'd bought all four- I'd be able to buy a new computer! Hang on, I already have...
