Normally I'd say that a good day is the product of a good mood: the usual happenings happen but your mind chooses to remember the positive, framing the day better than others. The last few days, however, seem to have actually had fantastic, out-of-the-ordinary events in them!
It began 3 days ago, when I was half-way through a productive day of interning for Beacon. Our PR advisor had suggested we ask Sir David Attenborough for a quote to advertise the Kelly Large event and ask if he would launch the documentary film of this in June. I had had no response from the BBC, or any other contacts and was beginning to lose hope when I accidentally found the address and phone number of Sir Attenborough's production company. I dialled the number and quickly repeated my Beacon schpeel while it rang. A familiar voice answered, "Hello?" I'd stumbled across Sir David Attenborough's home phone number and he'd answered! He didn't exactly agree to launching our event but he agreed to read my letter!
A few more social encounters involving various drunken artists, crazy people on trains and conferences about foetal alcohol syndrome made my next few days interesting until I checked my email today and discovered I'd won third prize in the Focused Eye Awards! While this means more expense at a time when I'm about to lose my job at the council, it's an opportunity to travel to another part of the country and another excuse to visit the Baltic!
