</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, today's been a good day. Work was relatively relaxed, and I'm not back in 'til Friday! The chosen nuggets today are:</span><br />
</div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The journey across the Somerset Levels was extremely pleasent this morning. The sky was clear as the sun rose across the water-logged fields. It was very picturesque.</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got home early and had a chance to read before settling down to telly - a lovely relaxing evening.</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A friend asked me to dinner on Friday, which is something to very much look forward to.</span></div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This selection was easy to make, in that I had a choice of a few things, always a good sign!</span><br />
