My experience in the supermarket is exponentially improved by my decision to be unfailingly courteous and generous. I stand back for people, I manoeuvre my trolley considerately, I smile. And removing the option of deciding to get annoyed makes for an easier life. I'm not sure anyone else notices (they only have eyes for sprouts) but I have a much better time.
Within reason. I have no intention of going anywhere near a supermarket again until next week. Don't need to. Have an unfeasible number of clementines, so no chance of scurvy.
Following on from yesterday, I have been keeping my eye out for things to say 'yes' to. No cake or holly - but I have found myself agreeing to make pudding for twenty-eight people on New Year's Eve. Not quite the 'yes' I was thinking of. I must be working a different algorithm to Jude. Actually, I'm quite happy to make puddings. I rarely get the chance to cook for such large numbers.
Generous quantities.
Bring it on.
