Today has been a pretty awesome day.

I got the free newspaper that is released at close of business each working day. It's a gossip and rant rag mostly. There's a section where people can text or email thoughts on topics, or respond to previous ranters.

There is also a section called "Here's Looking At You".

I would like to draw everyone's attention to the following comment:

THIS IS FOR YOU:
To the girl with curly hair, wearing a black top who took
the 6pm train from North Sydney to Central on Tuesday. I
hope you pick up today's mX and read this. You are
gorgeous.
PG, Petersham

For the nosy, I was running late finishing at work on Tuesday and caught the 6pm train from North Sydney to Central, before changing to the light rail to Lilyfield. I had my hair out and natural. I was wearing a black top. I was juggling shopping, my handbag and a copy of the mX. Too many coincidences? I hope so*.

That is all.


*seriously though, do you think I'm clutching at straws? Is my vanity and ego kicking in in assuming it was me that this message is to? I don't always grab the mX, often in a hurry or too late and have missed the hand out ... but today I got one as I entered the North Sydney station chatting to a girlfriend in Adelaide on the phone.

Exerpts of conversation with yayheaven:
