And so, here is the summary of my week's happy things.
Day 38 – Another Bank Holiday, another trip to the garden centre. This time we bought bedding plants for our tubs and hanging baskets. Chosen purely because we thought they were pretty, so a total riot of colours: bright orange, purple, red, yellow, violet. I don’t do subtle.
Day 39 – My work computer was upgraded to Excel 2010. It made me happy for two reasons: firstly because it’s nice to have something more up to date, and secondly because I feel valued at work because it’s something I asked for. Also, it means I can do the Advanced Excel course in July rather than September.
Day 40 - Watson’s Diary was posted. It began life as a![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

scfrankles which I replied to in the comments. It grew over the next week and a half until I stalled and Frankles suggested she complete it.
This is the introduction I wrote for it on Tumblr. “If you’ve ever wondered what goes in the darkest corners of ACD Sherlock Holmes fandom, then look no further. This particular collaborative work comes, from amongst other places, the dark corners of Mrs Hudson’s broom cupboard. If, by the end, you wonder about the sanity of the authors, you are in good company. We do too.” Watson's Diary
Day 41 – It was the Ascension Day outing at work. All the residents, support staff and other staff go on a day trip. This year we went to Avebury. It was a good day, the weather stayed dry – we were fortunate, we drove through some very heavy showers on the way back. It was lovely to be wandering amongst the stones, enjoying the countryside and being paid for it.
Day 42 - I finished the Sherlock/Victor Trevor fic I was writing for a Tumblr Viclock exchange and pushed it off to my beta. I'm not entirely happy with it, since the request included a large proportion of things I don't write, but I think it will be okay.
Day 43 - I went to London because a friend was having a birthday picnic in Regent's Park and another friend was running the Race for Life there. I arrived about 30 seconds before Emmy crossed the finish line, so was able to cheer her on, which I was very pleased about. Then we sat in the park, ate our picnic (it was hot and the mini chocolate crispie cakes melted and fell apart), drank Pimms (you don't realise quite how much you've drunk until you finally stand up), various people got sunburnt - my arms and face went a bit pink but I was fine, and generally had a marvellous time discussing fandom, Shakespeare performances, literature and anything else that occurred to us.
Day 44 - It was still sunny so SM and I went down to the canal again (a different part) and walked along it for a while, having an ice cream on the way back.
The following were taken when we went for our walk last week, and add to the overall happiness.
