Something nice happened to me today

The firm that I work for introduced last year long service awards for long-standing members of staff.  Today we celebrated one of the Lawyers having worked for the firm for 40 years; another member of staff in the Accounts Department 25 years and three other lady colleagues 15 years.  I wasn't going to go to the awards as I had arrangements at lunch to meet with friends, but the firm celebrated in style and I was eventually persuaded by one of my colleagues to just go for a little while so I did.  It turned out that I also received an award for 15 years service withe firm and I was given a pretty bouquet of flowers and a bottle of Champagne (which I have popped up out of the way for Christmas Dinner - am a bit partial to Bucks Fizz at Christmas).  So it was a lovely surprise - who says nice things don't happen.  They certainly did for me today.
