Sometimes things just make you happy. Today it was a bag sent to me by my mum. It has lots of goodies in it; chocolate, clothes, new clothes, old favourite clothes, toiletries, magazines and a tin of Heinz spaghetti bolognese. It's 2 years since I have tasted such a lovely morsel, and it will be a while longer yet. I am saving it for a special occasion. The label has changed but I hope that the contents haven't.

I unpacked the bag and shared some of the chocolates with friends at research. Then, I took it to my room and unpacked it properly. Walking back in later on, the place smelled like home. The clothes and bag that have been waiting there for me for a nearly two years have taken on the personality of the place. The sweet, clean goodness of home.

Tonight I will sleep very well in my room, wrapped up in my warm cardigan with a hood on it from home. Now if only mum was here too, what a day that would have been. Oh well, not long to wait now.
