I discovered that my 'little something to brighten up my day' wasn't numbered. I went and got another one today. It was # 96. I told James. He asked me to bring my unnumbered one back because he'd obviously messed up somewhere. I said I would. But now I'm not too sure that I want to. I quite like that it was forgotten and missed out. That it isn't numbered. That it still has the potential to be any number.

I worry that he may take it away from me and brand it with a number...
...then it will be like all the others...

...maybe I should tell him my fears...

Today I bought a little notebook with a brown cover and cream kind of pages, maybe it's more of an off white. It even has a red ribbon page marker, I'm not sure whether I like the red, but it may come in useful. I like my new book. It feels small and precious. I'm scared that I will ruin it when I make my mark.
