And can it be?

I was going to have lunch with someone today, but I forgot that when I mailed zir back to confirm the time, I got a bounce message saying zir inbox was full. I arranged with work that I could take a longer lunchbreak than usual, walked over to where I might find zir, and tried to track zir down, but it turned out zie was sick anyway.
I walked back towards the office thinking I wasn't going to get to have lunch with anyone today. As I passed a little Jamaican café, who should appear but Jack-the-Earlofgrey! She was having lunch with two friends, and invited me in. It was a small friendly place I'd never been in before, with paper tablecloths, boxes of crayons on each table to draw on them with, and a friendly West Indian woman who took the cash and brought you your food. I asked for a chicken pasty, and it was very good and only $1.50. I'm pretty sure I'll go there in future instead of McDonald's. We had a good chat about films and books. I must read Slaughterhouse-Five now.
Back at work, we planned the new iteration, Iteration Zigzag, and it looks like I have an interesting fortnight ahead of me. Then I left for home just as tonight's LAN party was getting under way (I have a two-hour commute, so I can't really afford to stay late except in emergencies, sadly). On the way home I refactored more JavaScript.
Back at home we ate burritos for tea, and Riordon and I went to the playground. She asked me to sing hymns to her as I pushed her on the swing, and I obliged for about twenty minutes: I started out with And Can It Be in honour of Dyddgu, and tried somehow to do both the bass and treble parts at once. (Maybe I'll make a phone post. Actually, I used to do request spots sometimes, so if you want to request something...) I told her how Elizabeth Kaeton used to hold communion with crusts for her dolls, and Rio attempted to recite the Eucharistic Prayer from memory.
I am still working on the metacity X error trapping thing, but in my head as an idle process as I walk around. Maybe I'll dream about it tonight. Anyway, I think I'll go to bed early and snuggle Firinel, who is a wonderful friend and love to me and very nice to snuggle.
