And that means I’m going to London this month!!!!! It’s all starting to seem very real. My list of things to do doesn’t seem to be diminishing at all – as soon as I get one thing done, I think of another two to add to the list. But at least I’ve managed to tick…
May I introduce my new friend, and travelling companion, Baby Bally: According to lytteltonwitch, the reason he has no nose is because it’s always in a book 🙂
And lo, the sun did shine through the clouds and point a finger of light to show the weary travellers the way. But it was a false light, for it led them only to Geraldine, and no matter what path they chose, all roads led to Geraldine. And so to Geraldine they went… Lytteltonwitch and…
Ok, I’ve just realised how long I’ve left it between entries. About time for an update. We’ve had two meetups since I last posted – in fact, we’re in the middle of a bit of a meetup marathon (not quite as much of a meetup marathon as I’ll be having in April, though – this…
It’s the 9th of March today. So what? Well, that means that it’s exactly one month until I leave for my big trip!!! One month from now, we’ll be on the plane, just about to land in Sydney. I can’t wait! Other than the momentous date, it’s been a pretty quiet weekend. I had the…
The bus driver got lost again this morning. Well, not lost exactly, just went the wrong way, and ended up spending ten minutes trying to do a three-point turn (in a bus!) on a busy street, all the while holding up the line of impatient traffic behind him. This, unfortunately, is not an uncommon occurrence….
Warning: the following will definitely fall into the “too much information” category for some of you. Feel free to skip down to the cute cat picture. Quite a few years ago, I spent six months in Africa. A fantastic experience, but one of the downsides was contracting bacillic dysentery. As well as almost killing me,…
Sunday’s breakfast meetup was rather poorly attended – just me, lytteltonwitch, and awhina. I suspect everyone else is just meetup’d out – we have had rather a lot of them lately. There wasn’t much book-swapping going on either – I’d only brought along a couple of books I’d promised to lytteltonwitch (Wicked by Gregory Maguire…
Many moons ago, when I was at teacher’s college, we were taught to write lesson plans, and given the theory of what makes a good lesson. Of course, once I graduated and got into a real classroom, like every teacher I rapidly gave up on writing the lesson plans, partly through lack of time, and…
I’ve had a very productive day today. I spent most of the morning and a large chunk of the afternoon making a present for TheLetterB, whose sproglet is due any day now (which is why this post is friends-only – I’ll make it public once the sproglet has made his/her appearance and received the present)….
