Almost on my way

ByFutureCat

I’m off to Wellington in an hour or so, to the NZ Open Source Awards.  I’ve got an acceptance speech memorised and well-rehearsed, just in case we’re lucky enough to win, and I’m only mildly terrified at the thought of having to actually use it.
My bag is packed with books for the meetup with the Wellington bookcrossers, mini-Gwilk has been employed as cat-sitter, and I’m all ready to go.
So now I’m sitting at work, trying to find things to do that I can finish before I have to dash off to the airport.  My inbox has never looked this clean 🙂

Oh well, at least it’s damped down the fire risk (literally), and I’m sure the farmers are happy.  It would be nice…

I think Mum is having as much fun with my new patchwork/quilting obsession as I am – she keeps sending me little packages of fabric to feed my ever-growing stash.  Yesterday a parcel arrived from her via Trademe, with this fantastic selection: None of the pieces are huge, but they don’t need to be for…

Plumbers and earthquakes

s promised, the plumber came back this morning and replaced the newly-leaking pipe.  He showed me the pipe he removed, and I’m surprised it hadn’t leaked a lot sooner – it looked like there was only a thin coating of rust holding it together.  He said when he cut one end of the pipe to…
