Julie's Boggle

In a day which was fraught and frustrating in so many ways, these were the highlights that made it all worthwhile:

• The weather. Ah, what an amazing morning. I just love the early morning city walk part of my commute on days like these. The required ingredients are a washed-clean, cloud-free sky; and the early morning sun just cresting the buildings – giving everything that warm golden glow. Combine that with crisp air laced with the aromas of coffee and toast from all the coffee shops along my route, and you have the perfect walk to work.
• Lunch. One of the tastiest burgers I’ve had in a very long time from our friends at the The Fine Line, a restaurant near work.
• Great music. Despite the fact that it implies the work I am doing is mindless (or I wouldn’t be able to concentrate), some of the best moments at work are when I can plug into my favourite mix of 3 albums (Best of Crowded House, U2: Best of 1980-1990, and REM’s Automatic for the People) and just let the music carry me along as I do the repetitive tasks requiring about 15% active thought. On a day that got hardly any actual work done, the last hour when I could get stuck in and enjoy the soundtrack at the same time really helped.
