Things that Made Me Happy Last Week: Week 34

1. Seeing an opera at the prestigious Salzburg Festival for the first time, but even more so, making my Mum happy by surprising her with the (good) tickets+hotel, etc. for her birthday. Her favourite female and male singers performed, so she was very thrilled.

2. Wearing my beloved"princess dress" that had hung in my wardrobe in a dry-cleaners' bag for more than 10 years (!) to the opera. Happy memories. I might write a separate post about it.
3. Getting approval to attend a conference in California in October, shortly after my return to work. Woohoo!
