Ever So Enthusiastic

We had a lovely day out on Tuesday, celebrating Bob's birthday. And twice people remarked on my enthusiasm. 
Firstly, over the birthday lunch we enjoyed in Tallow Steakhouse in St Benedicts Street. Liz and Jon had recommended this place. A very simple menu - but beautifully cooked. When the waitress came and asked if everything was ok, I said I thought it was fabulous, and utterly delicious "I love your enthusiasm" she said.

Then Bob went off to M&S for handwash, and I went to Lush - but diverted into the new Lego store. Wow!! There was a model of La Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona [Steph and Liz went there two decades ago] I was about to take a picture, when George, a cheerful young assistant with gorgeous red hair [just like my George in Manchester] said "I can take the picture so you can be in it too!" We talked about Lego together, and the model at Bury St Edmunds. It is completed now, but in 2019 [pre pandemic] I added my brick to the model. Perhaps they could do Norwich Cathedral?
Another member of staff remarked on my enthusiasm.

My purchase in Lush was a little pot of cuticle butter. Liz put a dab on my fingers last Saturday and I really liked how well it moisturised my fingers. So I treated myself to a tiny tin for my bag,

The word enthusiastic comes from the Ancient Greek word enthousiastikós (ἐνθουσιαστικός), meaning "inspired" or "excited," which is built from entheos (ἔνθεος)—a combination of en ("in" or "within") and theos ("God"), literally translating to "having God within" or "inspired by a deity". I'll take that as a compliment then!
