I was thinking of making an icon for six positive things posts. I like the idea of featuring the dichromate ion - Cr₂O₇^2- (where chromium has an oxidation state of +6) but it's possibly a little obscure.

1. Enjoyed remembering A-Level Chemistry.
2. Booked Film Festival tickets, cunningly by phone instead of standing for a long time.
3. Using Stern Voice on letting agents; HTH.
4. Walked to the Job Centre to sign on. Waited ten minutes (doing some CV writing on my Eee while there), they saw me for 55 seconds.
5. Visited angua. She has a v neat-looking DVD of Australians doing Pirates of Penzance which I've never seen. Also, A MAGIC SOFA :-) :-) I only sat on it for an hour or so, and my back was much improved by the time I walked home :-)
6. Spotted car number 426 on the way home.

Also: have eaten dinner containing five portions of fruit/veg, and am going to curl up and finish reading Crowley/Beasts.

Which films did you book for? 5 portions in one meal is quite impressive.

[bugshaw.livejournal.com]

Um, nineteen. Films, not portions in a meal.

I might list them in a separate post, including why I think they are will be exciting and/or worthy and/or bamboozling.

I'd be interested in your list. What did you eat, btw?

[bugshaw.livejournal.com]

Half a shredded romaine lettuce, pile on the cherry tomatoes, some chopped beetroot, and mixed beans from-a-tin (containing several pulses, plus green beans and sweetcorn, so I'm counting that as 2). But for lunch I had two pitta breads with roast beef and no veg...

angua indeed has a sofa of greatness. She also does a good line in wine and party snacks, so you should come for DVDs sometime :)

[bugshaw.livejournal.com]

I endorse this product and/or service :-)

I was thinking if you fancied coming over next Monday to help fix whatever the fuck I've done to my computer we could do DVDs and stuffs after and bug could come too :)

I think the dichromate ion's a great idea. But then I'm a science geek.

Obscure is all right: your friends will associate it with the posts, even if we don't know/remember the connection. Or so I hope, as I fondly use one icon for most travel posts, one for food [that one is pretty straightforward], one for relationship stuff, etc.
